I froze.
There was a mix of surprise and bewilderment.
Perhaps because the separation had been so undignified and there had been too many humiliations, | couldn't
calmly converse with him after the divorce.
The final definition of our relationship, for me, was clear, we would go our separate
ways.
No one should cause trouble to the other's life.
| composed myself and looked at him with a blank expression. "Why are you here?"
Ryan flicked the ashes from his cigarette with his long fingers, and for the first time, his cold expression showed
a hint of past warmth. "I cto find you."
"For what?" | was somewhat puzzled.
Did he rememberbecause he went bankrupt?
Ryan's gaze was intense and unequivocal, his voice low. "To reconcile. Charlotte, we no longer have any

| was stunned for a moment, then overwhelmed with absurdity.
What did he takefor? Did he still seeas if we were married? Did he think I'm still the person | was when |
believed he was once the light in my life?
Did he think | would still cand go as he asked?
With that thought in mind, a bit of anger flared up inside me, and my words cout sharply. "Is it because you
went bankrupt and Bethany no longer wants to marry you that you're thinking ofnow?" He was momentarily
taken aback, patiently explaining, "Charlotte, the reason | did that was because..."
"What you did doesn't matter." | interrupted him uncontrollably, blurting out, "Do you think the issues between
us were only about your marriage with Bethany? Did we decide to divorce only after she appeared?"
Ryan lowered his head. The person who had always been so aloof said softly, "I know. | used to misunderstand
that the person you liked was Jack, not me..."

"It wasn't a misunderstanding." | smiled cruelly, knowing exactly where to strike for the most pain. "If | had
known from the start that the person who helpedwas Jack, | might not have fallen for him, but | definitely
wouldn't have fallen for you."
It was precisely because of the mistake that | was misled.
| thought he was a person with a soft heart, which gavethe courage to throw myself
into the flames.
Ryan's tall figure stiffened. His dark eyes locked onto me, visibly panicked. "So you likedonly because of that
incident?"
| pressed my nails into my palms. "Yes!"
Without that incident, he and | would have been strangers who probably wouldn't have much to do with each
other.
Even if | developed saffection, it would have been limited to him being a dream guy and | would have been
just one amongst many who dreamt about him.
I would have felt admiration but never love.
With that, | reached for the electronic lock and opened the door.
| thought | had been clear enough. Someone as refined as Ryan should understand and walk away.

To my surprise, as soon as | turned on the lights, his cold body envelopedfrom behind. He spunaround
and, without warning, attempted to kiss me.
His actions were forceful and urgent.
As if he could hardly wait to prove something.
Feeling both humiliated and powerless, | couldn't push him away, and my hands were trapped. In a desperate
move, | sharply raised my knee and pressed it between his legs!
The man stopped all his movements, pain evident on his face!
He gasped, a dangerous glint crossing his eyes. As usual, he lashed out with hurtful words. "Can't | touch you
now? Or is it that during this time, Frank has been protecting you and you've developed feelings for him? You'd
better wake up and realize who he is...
"Ryan, I've never been clearer!"
My chest heaved with anger, my eyes filled with resentment.

"What right do you have to question me? When we were still married, you and Jessica were so ambiguous. Now
that we're divorced, even if Frank and | do have something, it's none of your business!"
