She was clinging to Richard’s arm, pointing at
the shop windows.

“Wendy,” Richard’s eyes flashed with surprise
when he saw me.
He took a step towards us.
Serena tugged on his sleeve. “Darling, I want
that bag!”
Richard stopped, pulling her closer.
When he looked at me again, his expression
was arrogant.
“Come here,” he said, looking down at me,
“Take Serena home.”
A blatant insult.
I almost laughed.
Just as I was about to approach, I felt
someone pull me back, shielding me.
I held Jason’s hand, shaking my head.
In front of all these people, I didn’t want
Jason to be dragged into this.
I would handle this myself.
Jason looked down at my hand in his,
momentarily stunned.
L
“Wendy, did you hear me?!”
Richard apparently hadn’t seen Jason.
I gently pushed Jason back.
“It’s not my hearing,” I stepped forward, “It’s
Mr. Montgomery who’s not right in the head!
We’ve already…”
“Wendy! You dare call me crazy?!”
“Mr. Montgomery~” Serena softly leaned into
Richard’s arms,
“Mr. Montgomery, don’t be angry with your
wife.”
“It’s all Serena’s fault for making Mr.
Montgomery go abroad for so long,
neglecting you, causing this
misunderstanding.”
“Mr. Montgomery,” she tightly clutched his
sleeve,
“Let’s talk about this at home, there are so
many people here, I’m afraid someone will
recognize me…”

She adjusted her mask, lowering her head.
Richard scanned the surroundings.
He finally noticed the onlookers.
“Wendy, you’re so embarrassing! Serena is
younger than you and more sensible!”
“Go home now!”
He pointed at me, “We’ll talk later!”
He turned and quickly left with Serena.
It was ridiculous.
Richard and I were already divorced, and I
had nothing to do with his family.
Why should I go back to his mansion and wait
for him?
I went straight back to my apartment and
closed the door.
I went into my room.
I drew the curtains.
My peaceful life had been disrupted.
It’s okay.
Give me some time, it will get better.

Just then, the door creaked open.
A funny–looking rag doll peeked in.
In a strange voice, it said:
“Wow, the weather is so nice today, sunny,
clear skies, gentle breeze!”
“Miss, want to go to the amusement park
with me?”
Jason…
While that refined gentlemanly act was fake,
After spending time with him, I realized he
wasn’t as unapproachable as rumored.
I went to the amusement park with him.
He took me on all the thrilling rides.
From the drop tower to the roller coaster,
from the pirate ship to the pendulum swing.
Every time I got scared and closed my eyes,
he would hold my hand.
The spring breeze was gentle and warm.
Spending a happy afternoon at the
amusement park, my mood lifted.

“Why did you fall for Richard?”
Jason suddenly asked.
In just a few words, he had seen through
everything.
Richard’s disdain for me, his contempt. Why
had I liked Richard?
“Back home, only he was willing to help me.” My mother had passed away.
My stepmother coveted my inheritance, and
my half–sister treated me like a servant.
Only when Richard came to our house to play,
Would he speak up for me.
When he was there, my stepmother and sister
would behave.
When he wasn’t, he would text me.
He would ask about my life, tell me to tell him
if I had any problems.
In my most helpless moments, meeting a
warm person, I naturally fell for him.

“Oh, I see.”
Jason, who had been casually eating ice
cream,
Turned away, no longer looking at me.
There was an inexplicable sense of
disappointment.
Speaking of which, he had also helped me
before.
