Chapter 1

When my mother-in-law, Lucy Wilson, was sent to the emergency room due to a car accident, she asked me to call Adam Shaw back.

I held back my tears and said I would.

But we both knew that no one could stop Adam from celebrating his first love's birthday.

"Lora, if you abort the baby now, I'll be right back!"

With a familiar chuckle, Adam hung up the phone in a hurry.

The next second, my mother-in-law died with a grievance.

When I was taking care of Lucy's funeral according to her last words, the photos of Adam and Rita Jules kissing were all over her Facebook page.

"You're my only love."

I sent my blessings numbly.

"It's hard to find true love. I wish you happy together forever!"

After I was done with the funeral, I was exhausted.

Before I had time to mourn my mother-in-law's death, I saw Adam's reply to my comment.

"I'll go home once you lose the baby!"

Home? He and I don't have a home now.

I calmly sent him the divorce agreement.

Adam came back in a hurry.

"Lora, what the hell are you doing?"

"We were just playing truth or dare. You don't have to take it seriously, do you? I kissed Rita just for a brief moment. You embarrassed me with your comment. Therefore, as a man, I have to say something to make up for it, right?"

As he spoke, he untied the collar of his shirt and leaned his head on my shoulder with a tired face.

"Enough with it now, okay? Even if you're not pregnant, I'll go home on time. I'm so tired these days. Can you give me a massage? I don't feel like myself at all."

When I saw the lipstick mark on his collar, I immediately dodged.

He held me and acted like a spoiled child, which made me so disgusted that the mug in my hand fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

Adam immediately got up to clean up the fragments.

"You love me so much that you can't even hold the mug?"

He made fun of me as if he was not the one who had repeatedly asked me to have an abortion.

I rubbed my forehead and looked up at him.

"You've been sleeping with Rita for the past two days, right?"

He hadn't been home for three days and said that he was exhausted. Did he want to show off to me that he finally reunited with his first love?

Adam's face immediately darkened. He threw the mug fragments into the trash can, which made a noise.

"Lora, are you done? First, you lied to me that you were pregnant to stop me from celebrating Rita's birthday, and then you mocked us on her Facebook page. Do you think that you can just fool me without paying a price for it?"

"So, is this the reason why you blocked me and ignored me? Do you know what you missed in the past three days?"

I suppressed my anger and told myself that it was not necessary to be angry with such a bastard.

However, my mother-in-law, who treated me as her own daughter, died for me.

If she didn't chase after Adam for me and my baby, how could she have been hit by a car?

Although the drunk driver had been brought to justice, what about Adam, the culprit?

"Lora, you can't keep making a scene like this, or else we can't be together. How many times do I have to repeat to you that Rita and I are just friends? Did I stop you repeatedly when you celebrated your male colleague's birthday? Why do you have to make trouble when I went to celebrate Rita's birthday?"

I threw the divorce agreement at Adam, and the photo in the file fell in front of him.

It was an intimate photo that Rita had posted on Instagram.

In the photo, Adam was holding Rita in a bathrobe with an intoxicated expression.

Judging from the photo, one could tell what was going to happen between the two of them.

"What kind of birthday celebration would take three days in bed?"

When Adam tore the photo, he panicked for a moment, but then he covered it up very well.

"What should I do to convince you that I'm innocent?"

Innocent?

He's just a despicable scumbag to me now, yet he's still talking nonsense with me.

My sneer got to Adam.

"You and Mom always suspect that I've been cheating on you. I was so pissed that I faked the photo and let her see it, but I left when I was close to actually doing it. Are you going to divorce me for this?"

It turned out that in Adam's opinion, he and Rita were just friends while they were naked, hugging each other, and so close to having sex.

He implied that my mother-in-law and I made him almost sleep with Rita.

If he had behaved properly, my mother-in-law would not have stopped him in person out of guilt.

"Adam, let's get a divorce!"

He didn't even know that his mother was dead, but he had the nerve to come back and blame me for making trouble.

"Lora, are you serious?"

Adam flipped through the divorce agreement. He could tell at a glance that I didn't draw it up on the spur of the moment.

"When did you start preparing?"

I replied impatiently, "What's the point of asking this?"

If my mother-in-law didn't ask me to stay, Adam and I would have parted ways long ago.
