Martin searched the villa, but apart from the divorce certificate, Evelyn had left nothing behind not even her half of their wedding photo. []
He couldn’t understand why she’d left so suddenly. []
Thinking back, he realized the change had started a month ago after she’d called him countless times, and he’d ignored every one. []
He remembered the day she’d asked him to sign some papers. Later, when those papers fell from the drawer, she’d snatched them up quickly
It hit him then–those were the divorce papers. []
“You didn’t even look at the document. Aren’t you afraid I could bankrupt you?” []
Her words echoed in his mind. What had he been thinking at the time? []
He’d been guilty. After all, he’d been with Stella during those days he’d been “busy.” []
So he’d said, “What’s mine is yours. When the baby’s born, it’ll be yours and ours.” []
But Martin knew Evelyn wasn’t that kind of person. At most, she’d ask for a few expensive gifts. She’d never bankrupt him.
He’d been right–and wrong. []
His wealth was intact. The only thing missing was Evelyn.
Evelyn never expected Martin to find her.
Since outsiders weren’t allowed in the lab, he’d come as a sponsor. [
When he arrived, she was deep in discussion with Steve, trying to solve a problem.
Her teacher nudged her, and she looked up to see Martin standing there, his expression grim.
Her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly reminded herself–they were done.
“He wants to see you,” her teacher said. “I didn’t want to agree, but he offered fifty million upfront. Said he’d keep funding us if needed.”
“Evelyn, he’s spending a fortune just to talk to you. Maybe hear him out?”
Reluctantly, Evelyn took off her gloves and walked out.
Seeing Martin again, she realized how much he’d aged. [
Unshaven, dark circles under his eyes–in just two months, he looked ten years older.
She stood silently, refusing to even greet him.
His gaze dropped to her flat stomach.
“You don’t even want our child? You’re just going to leave me like this, without giving me a chance?” []
His voice cracked, but his confusion was genuine. [
“I thought divorce would be a win–win for both of us.“[]
Her tone was calm, like she was discussing dinner plans. []
“How is this a win–win?” he asked, desperate. “Evelyn, I know I neglected you, but I’ll change. Please, don’t leave me.”
She looked at his red–rimmed eyes, her heart twisting. [

She’d once thought he loved her. But after three years, he still couldn’t let go of his first love. He’d even married her because she looked like Stella

That’s why he’d always found excuses to leave–to run off to the New York, to watch sunrises with Stella. [
He’d ignored her calls, never knowing she’d been in a car accident, never knowing she’d lost their baby. []
And now, he thought she was the one who’d given up on their child.[]
