Chapter 1 32
Kimberly raised one finger and said, “Fine. Just for a year!”
However, just when she thought everything was done and got up to leave, Christopher’s unhurried
voice sounded again.
“Wait!” he said.
After that, he was sitting in front of the computer and typing away on the keyboard.
Soon, the printer next to him made a sound.
Christopher held out two pieces of paper with his slender fingers.
Kimberly frowned, wondering what Christopher was up to.
Christopher said indifferently. There’s no proof if we just agree verbally. Sign this. After signing it, you
and I can rest assured.”
His attractive voice resounded in the air.
“What? Mr. Levine, why do you resort to such cliché methods? Kimberly laughed to herself.
She took the paper and found that there were ten items on it like a list.
The content was mostly in line with what she had just said.
However, one point was modified. It read: After one year, if the female party insists on divorce, the male
party will fully cooperate and handle the relevant procedures. However, within the one-year period, the
female party cannot engage in romantic relationships with anyone other than the male party.]
This latter part was clearly a domineering clause.
Seeing that, Kimberly was really unhappy.
“You, sir, can pursue whomever you like. I don’t care. But this domineering clause must be deleted!
Deleting it would be fair,” Kimberly said in a dissatisfied tone.
However, Christopher insisted. “Deleting it wouldn’t show your sincerity,” he said.
He was provoked by the phone call between Kimberly and Gerald.

Kimberly thought, ‘How could there be such a domineering person in this world?’
No matter, she did not plan on having a boyfriend in the meantime anyway. So, it should have no effect
on her at all.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was already late at night, and she really did not want to continue this nonsense with him.
Kimberly took the pen, signed her name at the designated spot, and then handed the sheet back to
him.
Soon after, Christopher took the pen and put his signature down briskly.
Kimberly took one contract at random, stood up, and left quickly.
Looking at her anxious escape, Christopher smiled dotingly.
He took the remaining sheet that belonged to him.
As he examined both signatures carefully, he realized that her signature was quite unique, along with
her exquisite handwriting.
He could not help but feel delighted when his eyes fell on the clause: [Within one year, the female party
cannot engage in romantic relationships with anyone other than the male party.]
He carefully put it away in the safety deposit box, as if it was a piece of treasure.
Finishing his task smoothly, he stretched lazily.
He had to admit that it took a lot of brainpower to negotiate with her.
Kimberly went back to the room and turned her phone on.
It was overwhelmed with messages and missed calls.
Without a shadow of a doubt, they were all from Gerald.
She frowned slightly and expressed her dissatisfaction with Christopher’s rudeness just
now.
She clicked on the message from Gerald and could feel his anger even through the
screen.

The anger was directed at Christopher.
She clicked on the dialog box and typed: [Thank you for asking. I’m fine.]
Gerald was still awake.
He was still thinking about Kimberly and Christopher.
The thought weighed on him like a massive boulder on his chest.
Although Kimberly was very firm with Christopher, they had been married for two years and had three
lovely children together.
Gerald feared that Kimberly might give in for the sake of their children.
After the conflict with Christopher that evening, he knew that Christopher had had a change of heart.
It was unlike in Mysonna, where he alienated himself.
Realizing this fact, he was inexplicably panicked..
He felt as if he were holding a fistful of sand.
The harder he tried to hold onto it, the more it leaked out.
He wanted to make a video call, but he was afraid that she would be uncomfortable.
He typed: [Christopher didn’t do anything to you, did he?]
When the word [Christopher] appeared in front of her, she held her forehead and felt a headache.
Only four years later did she find out that this man was so good at being shameless.
She remembered that she had just been kissed forcibly and signed a contract.
However, her relationship with Gerald was not close enough to talk about it.
To be fair, Gerald was indeed a good man.
He was successful, good-looking, and gentle.
He was unlike another man in her life, who was like the devil when put in comparison.
It was almost like the whole world revolved around him.

However, her heart had been riddled with holes in the last relationship.
She had to put some distance with friends of the opposite sex, especially Gerald, who was obviously
interested in her..
She was not a teenage girl anymore.
In Mysonna, Gerald had helped her and deliberately exposed his identity.
She did not believe that a person of the opposite sex would ever offer their kindness without expecting
anything in return.
However, in Gerald’s case, Kimberly did not think that he was that shallow of a man.
There were only two genders in this world, men and women.
When a woman was successful, she would naturally attract the attention and pursuit of
men.
That was why Kimberly kept improving herself, even though she was already successful.
It was the same as with flowers attracting butterflies.
People were the same. The more outstanding a person became, the more desired they
were.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, for the time being, she just regarded Gerald as a friend.
Kimberly typed: [No, you’re overthinking it. Have a good night’s rest!]
Setting down her phone, she gazed at the three children, who were sound asleep.
The turmoil in her heart gradually subsided.
No matter how difficult it was, as long as they were with her, she felt an endless strength to continue
fighting.
This was probably the legendary strength that came from being a mother.
Looking at the familiar surroundings, she sarcastically smiled.
It seemed that fate enjoyed playing tricks on her.
Four years ago, her lifelong wish was to stay with the man she once loved, have a few children, and
lead a simple life.

However, it seemed like the heavens did not hear her prayers.
Her husband was entangled in scandals, even flaunting his mistress in front of her.
At one point, he had shamelessly thrown her pregnancy report in her face.
It was such a humiliation.
She felt so small and insignificant in that
situation.
Even then, she still held onto hope for a better life.
Kimberly thanked herself for bravely becoming the woman she was now.
Otherwise, her life would have been so miserable.
The bitter memories and the pains of growth repeatedly washed over her.
Even though the wounds had scarred over, that spot still ached.
In this room that once imprisoned her, she was fortunate to have the company of her children.
Otherwise, she could not bear to stay here, even for a moment.
Tears uncontrollably flowed down her face, only for the past.
With teary eyes, Kimberly fell asleep.
Unaware that when she fell into a deep sleep, Christopher entered the room. He gently wiped away the
tear stains on her cheeks.
When Christopher touched her, she turned over and continued sleeping, seemingly overwhelmed by
exhaustion.
