After hanging up the phone, the man stubbed out his cigarette, changed his clothes, and knocked twice on Laura’s door. “I’m heading out. I be back later”
Little did he know that while he was on the balcony, Laura had already slipped away
Bert sat in Sunny’s car, pursing his lips as he looked out the window. Ocean City was Shanghai, where the contrast between night and day was stark.
He didn’t particularly enjoy the glitz and glamour of such places, but since he had just returned home, it was necessary to catch up with old friends Mainly, he was trying to
shake off the restlessness of sleeping alone…
Inside a bar, Laura and Linda sat at the counter, sipping cocktails and watching people sway on the dance floor

(Them were those who were single and still wanted to play around, those who had a sweetheart in their heart but a canary in their bed, and those like Sunny, who
enjoyed the flowers without picking them, just messing with the leaves. Bert was the only one who remained a monk even after getting married
Laura raised her glass, toasting her best friend Linda. “Cheers to my divorce in three days! Back to being single!”
Linda wasn’t a socialite, but she was an influencer who maintained good relationships with those in social circles, giving her faster access to information than Laura
Everyone else is fighting to marry into the Higgins family. What’s with you being so happy about a divorce?”
Laura shook her head and downed the drink in her glass. “When i got married, my family was in trouble, and I just wanted a place to stay. Now that my mom and brother are
taken care of, and my job is stable, why should stay in a loveless mariage? I’m 25, and need to plan for my future”

Three years ago, if i Master Higgins hadn’t helped her when she was at her lowest, allowing Bert to marry her, giving her a place to stay finding the best doctor for her
mom, and the best school for her brother, she would probably be struggling…
She would never be able to repay Old Master Higgins‘ kindness.
But in the past year, she had also been constantly criticized by the Higgins family, who said that Bert didn’t want to stay in the enuntry because he married her and that he
didn’t like her Bert looked down on her status and even disliked Ocean City because of her
Except for Old Master Higgins, no one was optimistic about this manage, including Bert and Laura themselves.

Before the scene could descend into complete chaos, Bert rushed to the front of the stage, scooped Laura off the platform, and held her protectively in his arms
Whether their relationship was just a contract or not, she was, in name, his wife.
Laura’s eyes were glazed over, and she clutched at the clothes of the person in front of her. The bar’s lights were dim, and she couldn’t make out who it was. She leaned
closer, feeling a sense of familiarity…..
Her skin was naturally pale, and under the flashing spotlights, combined with the alcohol, her fair skin was radiant and translucent. Plus, she had put on a seductive shade
of lipstick, making her look even more alluring
Growing up, Bert had never been this close to a woman, except when he and Laura were wrestling on the floor at home. Now, they were only a foot apart; if he leaned
forward, he could kiss her forehead.
Laura smiled, her eyes sparkling. Because she was pulling on the man’s shirt to steady herself, she had a clear view of his defined collarbones.
He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips that seemed so inviting
The distance between them closed.
You’ve had too much palm wine,” Bert said.
Laura tilted her head, tugged on his collar, pulling him closer, and smiled flirtatiously. “Handsome, if I wasn’t tipsy, how would I get the chance?”
