After I Left Him, He Pursued Me Again
Chapter 2
The next day, I left home early and went to the company to settle our respective finances.
When I arrived on the set, Ian was yelling at his new assistant.
Seeing me, he still ordered me around, "Replace this assistant. Also, go buy me a coffee."
I snorted coldly, "It's your own business which assistant you want to use. Hire one yourself if you want!"
Ian was stunned, probably never expecting me to embarrass him in front of everyone.
After all, I had always gently coaxed and persuaded him to work.
He only needed to show up for the shoot to become a big star.
He took off his sunglasses and walked up to me.
"Are you still angry? How can an actor not do kissing scenes? Don't be so unprofessional!
"My relationship with Julia has been over for a long time. What we did was just for hype. It's part of my job. Why can't you let it go?"
The people around were watching the excitement, and everyone was convinced that I would compromise.
But this time, I directly dragged a supporting actor, Kyle Lopez, from the scene and made a gesture to kiss him.
Ian was horrified and rushed forward to pull us apart. "Morgan, what are you doing!"
I laughed and said, "What's the matter? I'm just rehearsing with my newly signed actor. Don't be so unprofessional!"
Seeing that his uncompromising attitude was not working, he softened and began to coax.
"I'm sorry, honey. Don't be angry. You make me very sad, I can't bear it! You still have to talk to the director and ask him to take care of me.
"We should be united as a couple. I'll announce our marriage news after this movie comes out, okay? Please forgive me!"
I looked at this man full of lies, feeling my heart bleeding.
I shook him off in disgust.
"Ian, let's get a divorce. We will rely on our own abilities from now on. I give you freedom."
If I hadn't heard his true words a few days ago, I might have foolishly believed that he really wanted to announce our marriage news and would be wild with joy.
But everything turned different.
I had been to the crew to visit him when he and Julia finished filming, only to overhear his affectionate confession to Julia.
"Julia, I have missed you so much over the years. I was not worthy of you and did not dare to fight for you, so you had to choose to marry that jerk financier. You must have suffered a lot. I'm sorry. It's great that you're back now. Let's start over!"
His voice was trembling, extremely affectionate as if he had been waiting for Julia for many years and had completely forgotten about me.
Julia was so moved that she threw herself into Ian's arms. "Ian, I also regret it. You already have Morgan. I thought you would never forgive me..."
Ian explained in a flurry, "Listen to me, Julia. I don't love her. Morgan was too naive, getting hurt at the set to save me back then. If I hadn't been with her at that time, she would definitely expose my affairs to the press.
"To force her to take the initiative to divorce me, I deliberately let myself be surrounded by gossip over the years, but I didn't expect she could even endure this! Don't worry, Julia. We are the perfect match!
"I'll use the hype of the scandal to stimulate her to ask for a divorce, and then I can get out of it cleanly..."
His firm commitment to Julia was like a sharp knife stabbing into my heart.
It turned out that my five-year marriage with Ian was a cage and shackles in his eyes.
Now that his first love came back to him, he couldn't wait to kick me out.
But he forgot how brilliant I had been in the past.
I used to be a very famous pop singer, singing soundtracks for movies and TV dramas. At that time, Ian was just an unknown supporting role.
I saved him in the fire in a fire on set, but the price I paid was that my voice was damaged by the smoke and, I could no longer sing.
Julia was also present at the time.
However, she not only abandoned Ian, who was her boyfriend at the time, to save her own life but also took the opportunity to hook up with the investor and become a rich wife.
Ian was hit hard and told me that he had seen through Julia's vanity and would never forgive her.
At that time, he said, "I'll regret it if I miss you. I love you. Your voice was ruined because of me. I want to be responsible for you."
I believed in his promise.
After we got married, he asked not to make our marriage public, claiming he was on the rise of his career.
I agreed and used my connections to build his career.
I thought he really loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me.
But I was utterly awakened by reality that day.
Later, he suddenly became proactive, staying in the crew every day, spreading its feathers like a peacock all day.
I knew that the scene at the celebration party was actually Ian's expression of his true feelings.
Since he wanted to be with Julia in a legitimate way, I chose to fulfill him.
