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 12- Disdain

Laurent tilted her head back and smiled at him, her smile cold and faint.

"Fine, then I'll wait to see what your so-called 'punishment' is."

Without another word, she turned and left the living room, heading downstairs and out.

This time, she didn't even drive. A short while later, Dave's phone received a message from her:

"The car is yours. I'm returning it."

Dave stared at the message, almost dropping his phone in frustration.

This was not the outcome he had hoped for. He had wanted to have a proper conversation with her, but everything was only growing colder between them.

In his mind, him making an effort to explain that he hadn't considered getting back together with Clark was him trying to save their relationship. But she, instead of accepting it, escalated it to the point of questioning whether he loved her or not. How could he not be angry?

Fine, if she insisted on divorcing, he wouldn't make it easy for her either.
