Chapter 2

But what he did not know was that I already knew everything.

Once unfaithful, never to be trusted again.

I could not accept Arnold's unfaithful love.

I could not accept him treating me like a fool.

I wanted to leave him, but I also wanted him to feel my pain.

So I wanted to accept the proposal of his half-enemy brother in front of him.

I walked elegantly and charmingly in a starry-sky dress.

In the interview session.

Arnold, as the largest investor, also attended the event.

The reporters immediately swarmed around as soon as seeing him.

"Mr. Finch, I heard that you took part in the leading role this time for your girlfriend?"

"Yvette is usually too busy with her work, so I have to create time to spend together."

"Mr. Finch, do you have any strategic plans for the new film that ForFinch Film and Television will invest twenty-eight million dollars in next year?"

"Since Yvette wanted to make it, I invested."

"Mr. Finch ...."

Faced with numerous reporters' crazy questions.

Arnold held my hand and answered with a happy expression on his face.

The entry "The Charm of Rich Men" instantly dominated the hot search list.

There were a lot of hot comments from netizens.

[I thought one was money-loving and the other was just looking at appearance, but I didn't expect it was actually love!]

[An influential business tycoon in is actually a love-brained person.]

[He's too in love, I wouldn't even dare to dream of being like this.]

After doing the interview, I was rubbing my sore and slightly swollen ankle with my head down.

Then the man reached out to help me.

"Yvette, don't move. I'll carry you to the car."

I waved my hand slightly and said calmly, "It's okay, I can still walk."

Arnold picked me up without giving me any time to explain.

"No, with me here, I won't let you suffer."

I did not refuse again.

After he carried me into the car, a message notification appeared on my mobile phone screen.

I asked a private detective to do the investigation.

[Mr. Finch was not in the company this morning. He went to the confinement center.]

Next, a 5-second high-definition video came below the message. In the video, Arnold was diligently and clumsily changing diapers for the baby.

The nurse praised him. "I rarely see such a caring father ...."

The in-car TV nearby was playing entertainment news about his love affair with a wealthy family.

I stared at the screen of my mobile phone, quietly listening to the host praising our relationship and I just felt disconnected.

'Arnold, can you really hold two people in your heart?'

After arriving home, he gently carried me into the house.

On the dining table was the candlelight dinner he had already prepared. He thoughtfully put some dishes in my plate and asked me if I liked it.

I nodded lightly and a smile instantly broke out on his face.

"I love seeing you enjoying your dinner. I feel like I don't want to do anything and keep staring at you."

I lowered my head and enjoyed my food without responding.

After dinner, Arnold got up and went into the bathroom.

When I heard the sound of water running in the bathroom, I picked up his mobile phone from the table, clicked on WhatsApp and found his chat box with Laurent.

[Honey, the baby has been crying all day. Maybe he misses his daddy.]

[I miss you too, Dear. I'm busy today. I'll come to see you tomorrow.]

[Oh no, I think I want to see you now!]

[Just wait for me!]

His every word was gentle and caring.

He patiently coaxed his wife, who had just given birth.

Arnold once said that he hated the most delaying work because of relationships, but it turned out that Laurent was an exception.
