”Alright, let’s go have a drink. I haven’t had a good drink with anyone for a long time!”
Renee felt that she got along well with Rosie. They hit it off right away. They came to a bar street on the Water
Dock. They picked a cozy little bar, ordered a few bottles of strong beer, and started to drink.
The bar had a wonderful ambiance. A man on stage was singing folk songs while playing the guitar. It was
refreshing to see a bar with this kind of atmosphere in the Water Dock, an unlawful area.
“Rosie, how long have you known Mr. Q for? You seem to have a crush on him.”
Renee gulped down half a bottle of beer in one go. The sting she felt in her throat actually cleared her head. It even
made her feel a bit excited. She started feeling the urge to gossip.
“No woman can resist a man like Mr. Q. However, I have self-awareness. I know I’m already lucky enough to be his

Rosie had also relaxed a bit. She downed half a bottle of beer with great fervor. She did not hide her admiration for
Mr. Q at all.
“Nice. You’re not pretentious. I like making friends with straightforward people like you. We’re sisters from now on.”
Renee bumped her bottle with Rosie’s. She was starting to take a real liking to Rosie.
She actually had very few close friends outside of Liam.
Rosie and her were both single mothers. When they started chatting, they realized that they had many similarities.
They shared many stories of hardship and helplessness in taking care of their children alone.
“So you’re saying that you’ve already decided on Mr. Q and was going to marry him to start a family, but in the
end… the person you became married to was the scumbag ex-husband who hurt you?”
Under the blurry light, Renee downed bottle after bottle of beer with Rosie while Rosie listened to her story with Mr.
Q and Stefan Hunt.
She did not understand why Mr. Q would do something like that either.
“Mr. Q isn’t someone who would break his promise for no reason, and he’s definitely not a bad person. If I had to
guess… your scumbag ex-husband must have done something shady which forced Mr. Q to back off!”
Rosie was filled with righteous indignation.
“I think so too. That’s why I shouted like a madman earlier. I hope that Mr. Q will give me an answer. He suddenly
disappeared. I don’t know what to think.”
Renee closed her eyes and spoke with pain in her voice.
“Actually, now that it’s come to this, I think you should just treat Mr. Q as someone who never existed. He asked you
to reconcile with your ex-husband, right? Then maybe you should do that. After all, your ex-husband is your

children’s biological father. No matter how good of a father an outsider is, he can’t take the biological father’s
place. For the sake of the children, maybe you shouldn’t be too stubborn.”
Rosie sincerely advised Renee from the perspective of an outsider.
“Heh. Everyone thinks I should get back together with that guy for the sake of the children. In fact, I’ve considered
it myself. But that means I’ll have to spend my whole life getting tangled up with him. Think about it… If you have to
act like a loving couple and run a happy family with someone who once hurt you, wouldn’t you feel disgusted?”
“I can understand how you feel because my ex was a scumbag too. He abandoned me and my son in order to be
with his mistress. My son was seriously ill, but he completely ignored him. He was busy enjoying himself with his
mistress and celebrating his new son’s birthday…”
Recalling her painful past, Rosie clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes were filled with hatred. “Sometimes I don’t
understand how the bad people can live so happily while the good people are trapped in hardship. If he were to
come back to me and ask to reconcile, I would spit on his face and tell him to f*ck off!”
