2026-07-30 10:43:56After getting an IV drip, I finally felt a little better.
Roman kept staring at me, as if waiting for me to speak up."I'm fine," I said, pointing to my wrist. "I swear, it wasn't suicide. I don't even know how it happened. By the time I realized, I was already in the hospital."Roman sighed heavily in concern. "Mr. Smith, once you're healed, I'll schedule a session with a psychiatrist for you."I agreed. Because I'd noticed too??after all these years with Lyra, my mental

After I stepped outside, I found him standing by the car. His suit was pressed impeccably, and his gaze was fixed firmly ahead, every movement exuding the composure and decisiveness of a business elite.I stood in front of him and spoke first. "Mr. Maso, did you want to see me?"Arlo smiled, but his eyes remained cold as he pulled a travel bag from the car and handed it to me. "Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith will be very busy in the coming days and might not be coming back. I need you to help bring these clothes inside and pack a few clean ones."'Might not be coming back?' Even if Lyra didn't plan to stay, there was no need for Arlo to make a special trip to have me organize her clothes myself.This was her way of telling me that I was nothing more than a servant.Despite being her husband and considered upper-class in the eyes of others, I still had to serve her.So she had Arlo to deliver this message.As I carried the dirty clothes, the housekeeper coul

I didn't know what happened after I left, but from the second-floor window, I saw Luka and his mother being pushed out the door by the servants.As the bedroom door swung open, Lyra entered with a dark expression on her face."Is everything settled?" I asked, moving closer to help her take off her coat and hanging it up.Her gaze remained fixed on me as she asked in a vague tone, "Did you tell them to find me at the company?"I noticed her face clearly showed that she was unhappy.I calmly settled back into my chair on the balcony and explained, "I thought they came here because they couldn't find you, so I directed them to the company."Lyra let out a cold snort and slowly approached me. "And didn't you tell someone over the phone to advise me to be more restrained when I'm sick?"By the time she reached my side, she had grabbed my chin and lifted my face to meet hers.I looked at her, confused by her sudden anger.I wondered if she was

The boy in the photo was so sunny, handsome, and full of energy.He had the kind of looks that would win Lyra over.The person who answered my call earlier must have been him, right?I wasn't sure if Lyra would come back today, so I gave her a call.But as soon as I dialed the number, I regretted it and immediately hung up.The last thing Lyra would want right now was a call from me.Honestly, it didn't bother me at all. After all, my feelings for her had long faded away.Given the situation, I could face it calmly.If it were the old me, I would have been heartbroken by this kind of trending gossip.***Surprisingly, the trending gossip came and went quickly this time, without affecting me or Lyra in the slightest.Even Foster Group wasn't dragged into any drama.But Luka and his mother showed up at my door around this time."Sir, there are guests downstairs," the housekeeper informed me with a slightly troubled expre

What I said was true.Before I made up my mind to leave Lyra, even though our relationship was a mess, I still took care of all her daily chores.As for packing, that was the easiest part.I always had her travel essentials sorted and ready, so whenever needed, I could just pack them right up.I handed the packed suitcase to Arlo.But in that brief moment when our eyes met, I noticed something odd in his expression.Then, as if I suddenly remembered something, I quickly handed over a box of fever medicine.I stood by the car, but Lyra didn't roll down the window. She just stared at me coldly through the glass.After a moment's hesitation, I decided to open her car door.Her reaction was indifferent. She slowly raised her eyes and asked emotionlessly, "Is something wrong?"Her dismissive tone made me feel really uncomfortable.So I shoved the medicine at her. "It's last night's fever medicine. If you still have a fever, take one

Seeing that I wasn't saying anything, Lyra angrily pulled out an envelope from her bag and threw it at me without a word.I was caught off guard, and the envelope fell to the ground, scattering the photos inside.The people in the photos were unmistakably me and a girl, with the background being Mr. Morris's studio.My brows furrowed instantly as I recalled what had happened that day.The girl was a new intern, and that day she was responsible for delivering tea to Mr. Morris.But Luka had caused a lot of trouble in the studio, so everyone was in a bad mood.The young girl was probably nervous about getting scolded, so she wasn't paying attention and bumped into me, spilling some coffee on my shirt.She knew I had a close relationship with Mr. Morris, so she immediately tried to wipe my shirt and apologized. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Smith, I really didn't mean it."I smiled, understanding her anxiety about entering the office, and offered. "Do you w

"I never thought about it."My response was resolute."In my heart, Mia was the last family member I had in this world. I don't want to have any more weaknesses."Mia's death became a knot in my heart.Back then, I believed that with my abilities, I could definitely save her life, but I never expected that she would still pass away.Lyra's expression grew worse. She never had much affection for Mia, and all the grand things she said back then might have just been because we were still in love.Now, even though I had agreed to cooperate with her, that didn't mean I'd comply with everything.After saying this, I left immediately, driven by my emotions. Lyra had no intention of following me.In the past, small details like this would have made me sad.Now, I just feel that it's for the best. My heart feels lighter.Pretending to be a loving couple with her was really exhausting.As soon as I got home and was about to head upstairs
