Chapter 1


    “Happy third anniversary, get home earlier, I’ve prepared a surprise for you, you would like it.” After


    sending that message, Ste Radomil put down her phone and entered the kitchen once again. She


    turned down the me of the stove and went to cut the vegetables, enjoying getting busy, as if the reply


    for the message that she would never get did not affect her mood at all.

    The housemaid interrupted her and said, “Let me help you, missus.”


    “It’s alright, go mind your own thing. I want to make dinner for him tonight on my own.” The housemaid


    looked envious and said. “You and Mr. Conrad really love each other.” Ste let out a smile and did not


    reply. Did she and rence Conrad really love each other? Or should she say, they were just acting?


    rence reached home at 7pm and the housemaid was sensible enough to leave. As soon as Ste


    just finished arranging the bowls and chopsticks, she could sense the man’s warm breaths from


    behind. Her chin was mped and she was forcibly kissed on the lips. Feeling startled, she pushed him


    away.


    rence put his hand around her waist and pinched her chin. He narrowed his dark eyes and said


    indifferently, “Didn’t you want this by deliberately asking me toe back?” Ste exined softly, “No.


    Today’s our third wedding anniversary. I really do have gifts to give you.”


    rence released her and tidied his slightly wrinkled shirt, saying ndly, “You don’t have to give me


    any gifts. Your surprise never gives me joy but shock.” The corner of Ste’s lips twitched. She did not


    retort but turned around and entered the kitchen. Thest dish was ced on the table shortly.


    Ste sat opposite rence and poured red wine into his ss. She then poured for herself too. She


    took the ss and said, “To our third wedding anniversary, cheers.” rence’s facial features looked


    fabulous and mature under the light. He had mesmerizing jawline and straight nose. His slightly pursed


    thin lips implied that he was not satisfied of the wedding anniversary dinner which took ce only


    between them.


    Ste smiled. She did not expect him to reply her and she raised the wine ss, gulping down the red


    wine. After finished, she poured the second ss, one ss after the next. Atst, she was slightly


    drunk. She lied on the table and looked at the man opposite her who had not shown any change in


    expression throughout. She drawled, “rence, just for today, can’t you at least show me some smile?”


    “What do you want me to do? Acting crazy with you or celebrate this freaking boring anniversary with


    you?”


    “How could it be boring? How many anniversaries would you have throughout your life? It could be no


    more anniversaries after this one.”


    As if she was telling a joke, rence sneered. “Would you make it happen?” Ste shook the wine left


    in the ss and there were some tears in her eyes after being shined by the gentle light. “Maybe…not.”


    rence no longer wanted to waste time on her. He stood up and went upstairs.


    He took off his necktie and zer with annoyance. As he was going to unbutton his shirt, a pair of soft


    hands surrounded his waist from his back and the smell of alcohol flooded him. Ste said, “Rx, I’ve


    not given you my gift yet…” rence turned around and put his hands in the pockets. He looked at her


    without uttering a word.


    Ste was blushing and she was staring at him with limpid, innocent eyes. It was hard to move his eyes


    away from her. rence’s Adam’s apple rolled. Although he refused to admit, the woman before him


    was indeed gorgeous, and she was capable to move a man’s heart. If not, he would not get tricked by


    her in the first ce.


    He moved his eyes downward and there were her lips drenched by red wine. They were red and


    alluring. When she was moving her hands into his shirt, he almost immediately raised her chin and


    kissed her lips hard without hesitance. Ste moaned due to the pain.


    Her eyes had already gone misty when they were on the bed. She put her arms around his neck.


    rence ced his hands at her sides and raised his eyebrow, as if he was teasing her silently. “I


    thought you don’t want it?”


    “I’m sure you know when a woman says no, it means yes.”


    rence sneered. He once again stooped and kissed her. Ste was exceptionally enthusiastic


    tonight. She bit his lips and the rusty smell of the blood spread between their mouths. That kiss


    seemed to be a battle. The winner would have the authority to control the other.


    As he was going to extend his hand to take something out of the bedside cab, Ste spoke


    abruptly, “rence, let’s divorce.” He who was hovering above her stopped. “What did you say?”


    Although Ste knew he had heard that clearly, she still repeated clearly, “Let’s divorce.”


    rence instantly lost his excitement. He got up slowly and asked coldly, “How much money do you


    want this time?” She had always been like that, going great lengths for the money. Her tricks had kept


    on evolving. “I don’t want a single penny.” Ste took out a divorce agreement from under the pillow


    and said. “Have a look. You can sign on it if there’s no problem.”


    rence pulled down his face and said, “Enough is enough, I have no time to y such a ridiculous


    game with you.”


    “Didn’t I say I want to give you a surprise tonight? Look, isn’t this the greatest news ever?”


    rence looked at her with an expressionless face. He inexplicably thought that her smile was slightly


    an eyesore. Ste smiled and said, “rence, happy divorce.” rence pursed his lips. He spoke after


    a few seconds, “Are you serious?” Ste nodded. “How’s that, there’s only joy, but no shock this time


    anymore.”


    “Good. You better not regret about it.” He left straightaway after saying only those words. The door was


    banged shut. Ste lowered her head and looked at the divorce agreement in her hands which


    rence had never nced at. She only let out a smile at length.


    That night, Ste packed all her things up, and her things were too little that they only filled one


    luggage bag. She did not take any jewelries, bags, shoes and clothes bought by rence. After all, he


    was reluctant to buy those for her back then. Those luxurious possessions had be meaningless


    after they divorced. They werepletely useless to her.


    Ste looked at the divorce agreement left on the cold tea table when she left, and she still picked it up.


    She passed by the dining hall and nced at the dining table. The cutleries in front of rence were


    clean and shiny. He still did not use them at all.


    That wedding anniversary celebration was as unweing as she imagined. But luckily it ovepped


    with their divorce anniversary. rence might smile after brooding for a long time when he thought


    about it in the future. That could be the most satisfying thing she had done to him since they got


    married for such a long period of time.


    Sitting inside the cab, Ste looked at the changing view outside and suddenly felt that load was taken


    off her mind. She had be the fake daughter-inw of a wealthy and dignified family for three


    years. It was time for her to return to her slum.
