fter my husband ordered a bowl of congee specifically for his assistant, I decisively filed for divorce

After becoming a mother, all the gifts Gavin Rivers gave me were related to children.

He wanted to trap me under the title of "Luna's Mom" ​​step by step.

Two almost overlapping notification tones came from the phone.

There is news from the firm I communicated with before.

"I heard that Xu Lu temporarily retired because of having a child. I didn't expect that he would contact us on his own initiative."

"I believe that with your joining, we will be even more powerful."

“I wish us a pleasant cooperation.”

I replied to the message politely, exited the dialog box, and it showed that someone had added me as a friend.

The verification message is only five words long.

【My name is Riley Young.】

The moment I passed, her message came.

There were spots of blood on one towel and traces of moisture on the bed sheet.

Riley Young had nothing to say other than this photo.

I understand her subtext.

A little girl who just graduated and has nothing.

She had given Gavin Rivers everything she had.

Young people always have the courage of a moth flying into a flame.

Suddenly, I seemed to see myself when I was younger.

When I was sixteen, Gavin Rivers and I became the only two students in our small town to be admitted to a key high school.

Gavin Rivers' parents, who are middle school teachers, were so happy that they held banquets for three consecutive days.

But I didn't dare tell my father the news.

There were three or five wine bottles at his feet. He looked at me while clinking glasses with the matchmaker.

"Damn it, Xiuqin died a long time ago, leaving me with nothing but a money-loser like this."

"Fortunately, she looks like Xiuqin, so she should be able to get a good price, right?"

Gavin Rivers came to me excitedly and asked me when I would report.

I stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

The door suddenly opened, and my father's flattering voice came,

"My little girl is good in every way. As long as you are ready, I will send her over immediately."

They looked at me as if I were a commodity.

I lowered my head in embarrassment, tears falling uncontrollably.

"I'm not going to school anymore. I have to get married."

"Do you want to get married?" Gavin Rivers' voice came muffled.

The response was drowned in tears.

That night, Gavin Rivers climbed up to the seventh floor with his bare hands. Under the night sky, his eyes were brighter than the stars.

"I brought the money, let's go to school."

Since I was a child, I was taught to listen to adults.

But at that moment, all I wanted was to hold Gavin Rivers' hand.

In high school, I was ostracized and laughed at because of my accent and the way I dressed.

Gavin Rivers is cheerful and sunny, and he quickly became friends with his city classmates.

Sensing my resistance to him, Gavin Rivers pulled me to a corner with a sullen face.

“Audrey Xu, if you don’t like me playing with them, I will only be with you.”

"Don't hate me."

Suddenly I seemed to have the confidence.

All the anxiety exploded at that moment.

I cried miserably, and he waited quietly for me to vent all my emotions.

From then on, Gavin Rivers would find me eating alone in a corner of the cafeteria.

Every day he would accompany me to drink white porridge which cost 50 cents a bowl.

Facing the strange looks from his classmates, Gavin Rivers remained calm and resolute.

"I'm from a small place too. If you look down on Audrey Xu, you're looking down on me."

Gavin Rivers and I had the same score on the college entrance exam.

Tentatively, I asked Gavin Rivers which exam he wanted to take.

He answered without hesitation, "I'll go wherever you go."

Gavin Rivers' love is passionate and sincere.

"Do you like..."

Just as I was about to ask, my father suddenly appeared in my sight.

His eyes were bloodshot.

"I finally found you."
