Lin Wan ultimately couldnât turn him down.
She looked at Mo Yixuan and thanked him with a nod.
It was an extremely good deal because she had gotten a house that she had always wanted after taking care of this man for slightly more than four months.
She knew that some things in life couldnât be forced but she felt a little wistful at what could have been.
âDid you lose custody of your daughter?â Mo Yixuan suddenly switched to a different topic. He didnât know much about this woman and he merely knew her as someone who looked after him.
Lin Wan frowned and her heart clenched at the mention of her daughter.
It had been several months since she had last seen her daughter who was not even 8 years old. Her daughter didnât have a handphone, so there was no way of contacting her.
She shook her head and her voice sounded a little hoarse as she said, âNo.â
She hoped that she would be able to get custody of her daughter but her daughterâs father was better off financially, so she didnât insist on fighting for her daughterâs custody because she wanted the best for her daughter.
âWhy did you get a divorce?â Mo Yixuan asked.
He didnât know what was wrong with him but he suddenly wanted to hear her story.
Lin Wanâs expression darkened and her heart sank.
Those terrible memories surfaced in her mindâs eye.
âI wasnât suitable for himâ¦â she said with a wry smile.
âReally?â Mo Yixuan said as he looked at her and clocked the look of resignation and anguish on her face.
He could tell that she had a story to tell.
Lin Wan took a deep breath and paused for a moment before she said solemnly, âHe fell for an influencer six years ago and she was the sort of influencer who did live streams online.â
âDid he initiate the divorce?â Mo Yixuan asked.
Lin Wanâs heart hurt. Despite the fact that many years had passed, she couldnât help but feel extremely upset and hurt whenever she thought about it.
She shook her head with a wry smile and said, âHe did. He said he loved her and this was the first time he experienced the beauty and intensity of love. He said that he only knew what love was like after he met her.â
Lin Wan felt as though something had pierced through her heart and she placed a hand over her heart after she shared her story with him. It was as though her scab had been torn off, revealing the wound that throbbed painfully beneath.
Mo Yixuan remained silent because he didnât know how to comfort her. There wasnât anyone to comfort him either.
âDid you know that he actually knelt down and begged me to agree to a divorce so that he could be with his lover?â she said.
Lin Wan started getting a little choked up at that and tears quickly rolled down her cheeks.
She couldnât forget the anguish and despair she had felt at that time. This was the man whom she had dated for five years and had been married to for three years. She couldnât believe that he had told her that he had fallen for another woman and that she was his true love. He felt that he was living with her out of habit rather than love. He apologized profusely but each word of apology felt like a knife that sliced at her heart.
Mo Yixuan handed her a piece of tissue.
âItâs all over now,â he said.
Lin Wan accepted his tissue and thanked him. She sounded a little choked up.
This was the first time she had shared her painful experience with someone else.
She had merely told her friends or relatives who asked about her divorce that they werenât suitable.
She didnât want to tell the truth because the truth was extremely ugly.
