After finishing their meal, L drove Miranda back to her residence in the Imperial View Vi Area before returning with his daughter to their rented home. L was calcting in his mind that he needed to buy a house soon, a ce that truly belonged to him. Renting a house was not ideal for him anymore.


    Of course, the most important factor was that L had money now. Even though he repeatedly declined at the Ward family’s gathering, Erik still gave him two cards as gifts. This meant that L had over 2 million dors in his ount and buying a house would be an easy feat.


    When they arrived home, it was already eight o’clock at night and as they got out of the car, they saw someone lurking by their front door. Seeing this person made L furrow his brow and wonder why she was there? But Nora blinked her big eyes and first looked surprised then showed excitement.


    “Mommy! It’s Mommy who came!”


    “Daddy look! It’s Mommy!”


    Seeing how happy Nora was made L smile awkwardly and nod along with her excitement.


    The next second, Nora unbuckled herself from her seatbelt, opened the car door and jumped out!


    “Mommy!”


    The small figure ran straight towards the silhouette.


    Who else could it be but udia?


    Despite udia’s coldness, Nora always remembered that she was her mother.


    L parked the car and walked away without much expression.


    “Mommy, you came to see me!” The little one ran over and opened her arms to udia excitedly.


    She only knew that their parents used to argue a lot before they separated, and she hadn’t seen her mother in a long time.


    Naturally, L wouldn’t tell the child about udia’s heartlessness and abandonment so as not to hurt her young heart.


    “Good girl, Nora!” Facing her daughter running towards her with open arms, udia just reached out and touched Nora’s head. Her eyes looked at L… and his Bentley Mulsanne behind him!


    They were driving a Bentley?


    “What brings you here?” asked L expressionlessly.


    “What kind of question is that? Even though we’re divorced now, can’t Ie see you or our daughter?” udia’s voice waspletely different from thest time they spoke on the phone. It had a hint of bitterness and softness to it.


    She was dressed in a sexy outfit today, with stockings, high heels, a short skirt and an off-shoulder top. Her face was beautifully made up.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    She looked incredibly alluring.


    As soon as she finished speaking, L couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.


    One night of love was worth a hundred of friendship? How could he forget how heartlessly she had humiliated him when he asked her for Nora’s life-saving money?


    But he didn’t say anything in front of their daughter.


    After about ten minutes, L managed to put Nora to sleep. During that time, udia interacted with Nora – whether it was genuine or not remained unclear – but either way Nora seemed happy.


    Looking at his little girl sleeping soundly with a sweet smile on her face, L silently wished that their family could beplete again someday.


    However…


    Giving udia a cold nce, L gently ruffled Nora’s head, ensuring she slept soundly, and then he said expressionlessly, “Let’s go. If you have something to discuss, do it outside.”


    “Okay.”


    udia nodded cleverly and followed L out. When they reached the courtyard, she smiled and asked, “You’re driving a Bentley now?”


    “It’s someone else’s,” L raised an eyebrow. He felt that udia’s attitude today was off.


    “Come on, don’t be coy,” udia said as she leaned into L.


    L pushed her away and said coldly, “Do you have something to say or not? If not, then leave!”


    Hearing this, a hint of anger shed in udia’s eyes before turning into sorrow. “Honey, what are you doing?”


    “What did you call me? We’re divorced now. Your husband is Tom! Don’t call me that!” L sneered.


    “Honey, do you really think I would fall for someone else? Actually… I’ve always loved you in my heart. The reason why I divorced you was all for money from Tom so we could treat Nora’s illness.”


    “Do you know how much effort I put into it? When we had to sell our factory back then and lost everything… do you know how much it hurt me to see that happen to us?”


    “That’s why I left with Tom! Do you know how painful it has been for me these past few days pretending to be happy around him?”


    Tears streamed down udia’s face as she clutched onto L’s arm, pouring out her heart to him.


    L couldn’t help but feel a slight flutter in his heart as he watched her. Although he suspected that udia was probably just putting on an act, he couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope.


    Did udia divorce him just to get money for Nora’s medical treatment?


    “Heh, do you remember what you said when I called you asking for money?” L asked indifferently.


    It was because of udia’s heartlessness that L had chosen to risk his life and scam others for money.


    “Tom was right there next to me when you called! I… I really wanted to say yes, but I couldn’t…” udia exined with a pouty expression.


    “What about hiring someone to teach me a lessonter?” L asked sternly.


    Hearing this question, udia bit her lip and stared at L with an expression of resentment and jealousy. “The deeper the love, the stronger the hate! Do you know how jealous I was when I saw you being all lovey-dovey with another woman outside the restaurant that day?”


    “I admit it, I had Tom arrange for someone to teach you a lesson because I hated you at that time!”


    “I hated you for all those promises you made to me back then, they were all lies!”


    “I hated you for being heartless and unfaithful! I endured humiliation and carried heavy burdens, pretending to be happy with other men just to earn money for our daughter’s medical treatment. And yet, you were out there fooling around with other women, enjoying your freedom!”


    “L, you’re a scumbag! Can you even face me?” udia’s voice grew more and more agitated as she spoke until finally she burst into tears of resentment.


    It was as if her heart was filled with countless grievances.


    Her confession of love-hate only made L waver in his heart. After all, they had been married for so long – five or six years of emotions!


    After all, L had truly loved and doted on udia at the beginning.


    Her sincere expression made L doubt whether he had really misunderstood udia.


    “Don’t cry!” Taking a deep breath, L patted udia’s back gently in a softer tone. “Honey! I know you still love me, right? Was that woman from the other day just an act? Can we go back to how things were before? Honey…”


    udia cried out tearfully with her voice full of emotion that sent shivers down his spine. She leaned weakly against him while breathing hot air into his ear.


    He must say, udia was quite attractive and had a seductive aura about her.


    This move left L feeling like a cat scratching at a post.


    In this situation, a man’s ability to think logically was likely to be lost, as he was led around by the nose by this woman.


    Whatever she said, he believed!


    However, L was no longer the same person he used to be!
