You‘re Just My Ex-Husband,My Lord

Before they got married, Laurent already knew that Dave Washington had another woman in his heart, yet she still chose to marry him because Dave had always been the one she loved. She loved Dave, but his heart belonged to another woman. It was said that this woman loved another man, who happened to be Dave's illegitimate half-brother. Laurent believed that having a child would secure their shaky marriage. Until one day, the woman Dave loved finally told him, "Actually, the person I love is you." Laurent had devoted her youth and energy to this sensational and messy love story, only to helplessly watch it collapse. Heartbroken, she chose to divorce. She thought Dave's infidelity would make her easily give up on the house, car, and property during the divorce, with the only request being custody of their daughter. But to her surprise, Dave insisted that she was unfit to raise their daughter and refused to give her custody. In order to fight for her daughter, she embarked on a long and exhausting legal battle. She said to him, "You're so persistent—aren't you worried your lover is waiting for you anxiously?" Dave smiled and replied, "If you have time to worry about her, you might as well get a new lawyer." In a fit of rage, she threw a cup of water in his face. "Dave Washington, you're despicable!" Yes, every lawyer she hired was bought off by him with large sums of money. Finally, disheartened, she gave up custody of their daughter and decided to leave the country to heal. But he sent someone to intercept her at the airport...

Chapter 32-I beg you

Just as Dave was about to explode with frustration, the little girl spoke again.

"Daddy, if you're nicer to Mommy, she'll be nice to you too. My teacher says love is mutual—if you're kind to others, they'll be kind to you."

That seemingly innocent remark hit Dave hard.

He understood the concept of mutual love, of course.

But in a marriage that had started with endless resentment and anger, he couldn't give her the love she needed. The only thing he could do was use every possible means to torment her, to watch her suffer and struggle. That was the only way he could feel some relief.

Yet now, their daughter was telling him to be nicer to her mother, even as their marriage teetered on the brink of collapse.

It was laughable, but also deeply ironic.
