Ethan Cruz walked into the courtyard and lit a cigarette.
The flame flickered, illuminating his face for a moment.
His eyes were cold, but his brows were tightly furrowed.
He didn't say a word.
That silence made Chloe Bennet's heart panic.
She hurriedly followed him out, her eyes red as she grabbed his sleeve.
"Ethan…"
Ethan Cruz didn't look at her.
His voice was heavy, exhausted.
"Chloe, I want to be alone for a while."
But Chloe Bennet couldn't accept it.
After waiting for so many years, after swallowing so many humiliations, after finally seeing Serena Valente leave… why was Ethan Cruz acting like this?
Her chest burned with jealousy and resentment.
She suddenly cried out, her voice sharp.
"Ethan Cruz! I've followed you for so many years! Now that you're finally divorced, you're acting like this?!"
She pointed at the house as if it were the source of her hatred. "I know! I know you loved Serena Valente back then! So now you regret it, right? Right?!"
