Theo stood at the entrance of the villa the whole time, his gaze looking so complicated that | found it hard to
read.
The car drove far away but he remained rooted to the sspot. His tall and slender body was further obscured
by the cold and fine drizzle.
| withdrew my gaze, looking down at the divorce papers in my hands.
"Is there really no room for change between the two of you?" Jerasked, his voice warm and tender.
| cast my eyes down at the divorce papers in my hands and said in a bitter tone, "Jerome, sthings may have
passed but they'll always be there. Like a thorn, they'll prick you from tto time, causing you t o bleed non-
stop."
How was | supposed to let this go?
From the moment the child died, up until learning about Cecilia's death, | had been searching for an excuse for

| told myself that he was innocent. There was nothing
he could do about the child, nor could he have done anything about Cecilia's death. Even the part about him
taking care of Cindy, | told myself over and over again that he was only doing it out of duty and obligation.
| was not that petty and could accept all these things. As long as he was good toand cared about me, none
of this would matter.
Though not once did | ever think that all of this was a mistake knowingly caused by him. He knew full well that

swapping Cindy's and my DNA reports.

beginning, | would have taken the child and Cecilia to another city. | would have given birth to him there and

It might be tough for two women to raise two children together, but at least things would not have turned out
this way.
When we arrived at Jerome's place, Xander opened the door with Munchkin in his arms. His long and slender
figure stood straight at the door. He was looking atwith a complicated gaze, saying, "The food's ready. We
were just waiting for everyone to arrive."
After going into the house, Xander put Munchkin in Jerome's arms and went to the kitchen.
Munchkin reached out toto ask for a hug and my heart melted. | reached out to hold him in my arms.

can sell it?"
He frowned. "Are you short of money?"
