Chapter 10
If this had happened before, seeing such a scene, I don’t know how happy I would have been.
For a long time, my dream was to marry James and live a simple life with him and our child.
I even wrote all my feelings in a diary full of unrequited love.
After we married, James saw those diaries and dismissed them disdainfully, but I carefully kept them.
But before I deactivated my identity and took Sophia abroad…
I burned those diaries to ash.
And when I burned them, I felt no turmoil in my heart.
It’s the same now.
I spoke faintly, “James, I’ve already left the divorce agreement. But it’s fine, my domestic identity has been deactivated, so legally, we’re no longer husband and wife.”
“You and Jessica still have unfinished business. Since you like her and her daughter, you can go back to her.”
“I once liked you, but I’m not so cheap. Without you, I can still live well with my daughter.”
James was instantly panic–stricken, and he crawled toward me on his knees.
“No, this is all a misunderstanding!”
He said that he wasn’t in a relationship with Jessica.
Their relationship was innocent.
“I just couldn’t bear to see Jessica raising a child alone, so I helped her take care of her daughter. Maybe in the past… I had feelings for her.”
“But now I’ve seen her true colors. Those reporters were all hired by her. Now, she wants to marry me just for money!”
“Lily, I’ve seen clearly what I want. I want you…”
He begged desperately.
But I coldly pushed him away.
I squatted down and asked my daughter, “Sophia, do you want to forgive Daddy?”
Sophia calmly shook her head. “No, Sophia doesn’t have a daddy. The classmates are right, Sophia is just a bastard.”
“It doesn’t matter if I’m a bastard. I have Mom, and that’s enough.”
It seemed like something inside James completely shattered.
I smiled and prepared to show him out.

Chapter 10
“James, just leave.”
I was wearing a sharp and neat suit, glancing at my watch as I lowered my head. “I have to attend a business meeting soon. It’s a multi–million deal.”
In the few months since coming abroad, I had closed several deals, earning millions.
Meanwhile, James was busy searching for his wife and child, and his company was in decline. He ruthlessly cut ties with Jessica.
As a result, Jessica retaliated by exposing James’s extramarital affair overseas.
In one night, James’s company’s stock price plummeted to a level that even the greatest of gods couldn’t fiz.
And I just listened to the gossip and then threw myself back into my career.
Every month, James would come and try to get his wife and daughter back.
But Sophia and I were both tired of it and refused to see him.
In the end, it was my dad, who was fishing, who stopped him.
“James, stop chasing. I gave you the chance before, but you didn’t appreciate it.”
“Now that you regret it, it’s too late.”
Later, James found out.
The reason I decided to go abroad was because Jessica had deliberately sent me that video.
His face turned pale as he tried to explain.
“Lily, don’t believe it! It was a misunderstanding. We were just playing a truth or dare game. That wasn’t real…”
He said that abroad, he was just taking care of Jessica and her daughter, and that there was nothing between them.
But I no longer cared whether it was true or not.
After all, it no longer mattered to me.
Later, I met a business partner who clicked with me, and we’ve been seeing each other recently. He proposed, but I turned him
down.
I said I had no intention of getting married again.
I asked Sophia, “Would you like to have a new dad?”
Sophia mischievously looked behind me, clapped her hands, and laughed.
“If it’s Uncle, I’d be happy for him to be my new dad!”
And this scene…
Was witnessed by James. His face turned ashen, and he smiled bitterly as he left.
After he left, the nanny handed me a letter.

She said it was from James.
My dad curiously asked. “What does it say?”
I didn’t read it. I just tore it up and threw it in the trash.
“It doesn’t matter anymore.”
Two years later, I heard that James had fallen from grace in the country. He was involved in a car accident, and some said he had become a vegetable.
Others said he stabbed Jessica and ended up in prison.
What the truth was. I didn’t investigate.
Because, just like before, it didn’t matter anymore.
