“Eva!” 

Not until I shouted did a surprised smile bloom on the girl’s face. She quickly ran towards me. 

“Mom!” 

I bent down and embraced the little girl. 

Following me, Fredrica also approached. “Hello, dear. My name is Fredrica, can I be your friend?” 

Eva looked at the person in front of her curiously and then hid herself beside me. 

I held her hand and smiled as I watched this scene. 

Eva is the most precious thing to me, and protecting her has always been my most important 

mission. 

So when Eva got hurt, my bottom line was crossed. That’s why I didn’t hesitate to bring up a divorce 

with Ryder. 

Eva’s arrival was an accident, but I think it’s the best gift that God has ever given me. 

After that pre–marital relationship, I became pregnant. 

At that time, I had already married Ryder, so naturally, the child was born. 

In the past four years, Ryder had never touched me, our marital relationship was as cold as ice, which created Eva’s timid and cowardly personality. 

Considering the unfavorable family environment for Eva’s development, I decided to choose a full–time kindergarten for her, so Eva only came home on weekends. 

Eva looked at Fredrica with a little unease, until I conveyed encouragement through my eyes, the 

little girl nodded gently, “Yes.” 

“Very good, let’s have a sumptuous meal, my dear.” 

Fredrica reached out and held Eva in her arms, allowing me to drive.

I was not declined either, I jumped up and pressed the accelerator forcefully, feeling the joy of driving in the wind. 

The Third–person Perspective 

Shortly after the three of them left, the Stain family’s car also arrived at the kindergarten. 

Ryder, always busy, lowered his head to handle the documents in his hands, his face cold without any expression. 

The butler got out of the car on his own. 

“President, this is the new kindergarten that Madam transferred Miss Eva to. However, we’ve just learned that she has already picked up Miss Eva,” 

Ryder’s finger suddenly paused, and a hint of coldness flashed across his icy face. 

He couldn’t figure it out. Wasn’t it just that Eva was pushed by Tyler? Was it really necessary to change kindergartens? 

“It can be seen that Madam doesn’t really want to divorce you. Taking the child away is a signal to you, that Madam wants to come back.” The butler said, exhaling lightly, looking at him as if waiting for Ryder to give the order to bring her back. 

“Go back!” But Ryder said coldly. 

His eyebrows furrowed tightly. 

He wanted Hannah to come back on her own, he wanted her to know that living honestly and sincerely was better than using tricks and schemes in front of him! 

Hannah’s Perspective 

Time passed quickly, just in the blink of an eye, thirty days had passed. 

Tomorrow will be the day to receive divorce papers from Ryder. 

Perhaps because I had long accepted the reality of divorce, I became extremely calm. 

After putting Eva to sleep, Fredrica and I sat in the living room, drinking red wine and chatting.

Eva, 

During this time, I almost spent all my time with Lex, wanting to make rep for the years of aber st affection for the infle girl. 

Seeing the smile on her face becoming brighter every day, I felt my heart at ease and increasingly believed that leaving Ryder was the right decision. 

“Everyone wonders why I came back. In fact, it’s very simple, this is my home, where I belong 

The two of us were chatting when a beautiful voice suddenly rang out 

I couldn’t help but look up and glance at the television screen opposite, where Cathy was smiling, her eyes full of meaning. 

In front of the screen, the flashlights of the reporters kept flashing and then went out 

“If that’s the case, it means Miss Cathy has found her place to belong and she is in this city? The reporters were very sensitive, they picked up extraneous information and kept asking questions 

Cathy just smiled without saying anything, but the curve of happiness on the corner of her lips 

revealed everything. 

“If it weren’t for you, after that shameful incident, she would have been ridiculed by everyone. But now, she’s back as if nothing happened, destroying your family without any shame!” Fredrica also saw Cathy on TV, unable to contain her anger. “Such a terrible woman, Ryder still treasures her like a treasure. It’s so satisfying to see the consequences of his betrayal. I hope he chokes on it!” 

She slammed the cup on the table. “If it were me, even if I had to close my eyes, I would choose you 

instead of her!” 

I listened to her words and couldn’t help but laugh. “Perhaps this is the difference between love and 

non–love.” 

Ryder loved Cathy, so he could overlook her betrayal four years ago. 

As long as she shed just two tears, everything could be forgiven, and even helping to raise her child was possible. 

Not loving her, even if there was a hidden truth behind the “forced marriage,” he didn’t bother to 

listen. 

“Even if we divorce, I won’t let this cruel couple live a good life!” 

Budrion was straightforward. She was the type of person who could clearly distinguish between

friends and foes, with her hands on her hips, acting like a warrior preparing for battle. 

I, on the other hand, was more indifferent. “Whether their lives are good or not is not important to me. I just want to live well with Eva, and that’s enough.” 

However, when I thought about not telling Eva about the divorce, my mood became heavy. 

The Third–person Perspective 

The next morning. 

Ryder went downstairs like any other day, his head lowered as he adjusted his cufflinks, dressed neatly, his face devoid of emotion. 

“Sir, it’s Madam on the phone.” The butler came, with joy on his face. 

Ryder went to answer without saying anything. 

On the other end of the line, Hannah’s voice was calm and polite. “When are you free? I’m at the café below your company building.” 

Ryder looked up and glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall. 

After enduring for over twenty days, was she finally unable to bear it anymore? 

She said to meet at the café, and he thought that she probably wanted to apologize and reconcile. 

He didn’t respond, nor did he care about her words afterward, and he hung up. 

Hannah’s Perspective 

I couldn’t hear his reaction, not understanding what he meant. 

Although I knew that he would definitely proceed with the divorce, I still hoped for a quick resolution, so I went down to wait at his company building. 

When Ryder’s car arrived, a slender figure appeared right below the company building. 

He muttered to himself, with a disgusted expression on his face. 

He thought to himself that such an eager attitude to admit mistakes is disgusting and always

reminds him of her previous arrogant behavior! 

1 sayy him and a bright smile appeared on my face. “Here you are” 

Ryder was cold, “If you knew it from the beginning, why did you go through all of this?” 

i was startled, not understanding what he mean 

Not bothering to pay attention, I simply said, “Ter’s talk at the cate 

Ryder showed no interest in wasting time with me. “Just say it clearly here! 

“Fine.” Since he didn’t care about people knowing about our divorce, I didn’t either. 

I swiftly opened my tablet and tapped on a video interface. 

“The Civil Affairs Bureau understands that everyone is busy, so they have implemented a video work system. This allows the staff to confirm our identities through video, and all we need to do is press a button to have our divorce certificate delivered to our doorstep. It saves us the trouble of going to collect it.” 

To be honest, this convenient service is truly thoughtful. 

Ryder: “……” 

He thought I wanted to apologize and turn back, but the result was… asking for a divorce? 

“Ryder Stain, Hannah Paine, do both of you definitely want to divorce?” A middle–aged woman’s face quickly appeared on the screen, she increased the volume and asked. 

Because I was using a microphone and my tablet had good audio quality, the sound spilled out 

loudly. 

Employees rushing to work suddenly heard this sentence and all turned their heads, looking in this direction with astonishment. 

“Definitely.” I didn’t hesitate at all, I pressed the confirmation button above. 

Ryder: “……” 

He looked at that button, then at me without any hesitation, his eyes filled with darkness.
