Chapter 3

Kelly laughed dismissively:

"Ha."

"Still the same old tricks. Aren't you tired of this?"

True, when Kelly and I were dating, I did often use the tactic of saying other girls were pursuing me or that I had backup options to stir up conflict and emotion in her.

So it was normal she didn't believe me.

But I didn't want to get tangled up with her anymore.

I tried to leave, but Kelly blocked my path.

"Fine, you say you're remarried—I believe you. Yan, have you considered that we're still not divorced?"

I stared at Kelly, confused.

Didn't the divorce papers reach her a year ago?

During these three years abroad, Summer had helped me file for divorce on the grounds of spouses being separated in different locations for two years.

When the court notice came, it even had Kelly's signature.

Now, what did she mean by this?

Hudson, who'd been silent nearby, showed a flash of panic in his eyes.

"Kelly, Yan is just joking with you."

Hudson's voice made me want to vomit:

"Shut up."

Then I looked at his head:

"Weren't you supposed to be brain dead? Yet here you are, perfectly fine and disgusting people. Did Kelly resurrect you with some miracle cure?"

My words made Hudson's face turn white, then green. He could only turn to Kelly for help.

"Kelly... didn't you tell him I recovered?"

Recovered.

When did that happen?

So even knowing Hudson had recovered, Kelly still sent me away.

A wave of nausea suddenly hit me.

Kelly grabbed my hand again:

"Since we've run into each other, I'll take you back home this time."

I tried to pull away but was dragged along anyway.

"Let go. My wife will be here to pick me up soon."

Kelly's eyes held teasing amusement:

"Oh really? I'd like to see which blind woman dares to steal my man."

Before, I loved this side of her—the possessive sweet talk.

Now, compared to Summer, Kelly was just a narcissist.

Being forcibly brought to the car, Kelly said she'd come overseas to find the best rehabilitation hospital for Hudson.

Domestic facilities couldn't compare to foreign ones.

Today happened to be the day she was supposed to sign a contract with the rehabilitation hospital.

In the car, Hudson sat across from us, his eyes practically glued to Kelly.

The chemistry between them made me sick.

I was just afraid Summer wouldn't be able to find me—she might lose control.

Getting out of the car, I realized the rehabilitation hospital Kelly mentioned belonged to Summer.

And today happened to be when Summer said she was coming here for some project signing.

Kelly forcefully draped her arm over my shoulder as we walked in.

People who knew me widened their eyes and began whispering to each other.

"How is her husband, he involved with this woman?"

"Quick, go report this to she."

Hudson lowered his voice and gloated beside me.

"Yan, these three years you were gone, Kelly has been carrying my child. Even if you come back, you can't take away her love for me."

I knew Kelly had betrayed me.

My heart no longer rippled with emotion, because I saw Summer walking toward me in the distance.
