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.

Chapter 26- tempting

Laurent pressed her lips together, refusing to respond.

Fuming, Dave pointed to the little girl beside him.

"If we book another room, where will Emma sleep tonight?"

"With me, of course. Or are you planning to put her to bed yourself?"

Laurent shot back without hesitation, meeting his anger head-on.

The two of them stood there locked in a tense standoff at the hotel reception, their argument making the staff visibly uncomfortable. Meanwhile, new guests had begun arriving behind them, adding to the awkward atmosphere.

In the end, Dave relented and took out his wallet, booking a second room next to his for Laurent. Only then did the confrontation come to an end.

However, because of this incident, Dave kept his face cold and ignored Laurent all the way to their rooms, still holding their daughter in his arms.
