Chapter 7

The cold seawater instantly submerged Noelle.

She struggled, but she sank deeper and deeper.

As she was fading away, she thought of her parents in her last life again. Perhaps they were also so desperate at that time?

Suddenly, a pair of big hands lifted her waist and a warm breath filled her mouth and nose. Noelle opened her eyes with difficulty, but saw an unexpected person–Louie.

On the shore, Tommy looked at the endless, calm sea with a frown. Someone beside him came over to comfort him, “Don’t worry, Mr. Baldwin. Miss Spencer is blessed by heaven and nothing will happen.”

Tommy did not respond to this sentence, but continued to stare at the sea.

Until the person next to him said again, “Madam, can she swim?”

Tommy’s body suddenly stiffened.

He forgot that Noelle could not swim.

He subconsciously wanted to take off his clothes and go to the sea, but he stopped abruptly as soon as he raised his foot. He whispered, “Since she would plot to harm Camilla, she must have left a trick for herself.”

When he said this, Tommy’s eyes flashed with pain.

He never knew that jealousy could make a person change so much.

Noelle used to be a very kind person.

After a night, the sea was still calm.

Tommy felt a little irritated for some reason. He got into the car and took out a cigarette to light for himself. He remembered that when Baldwin Group was just starting out, they almost got home in the early morning every day because of business talks.

If the business talks were successful, they would open a bottle of the cheapest wine to celebrate.

If they failed, they would stay together and smoke the same cigarette.

Noelle always sighed. “I don’t like the smell of cigarettes. I hope we can succeed soon. I don’t want to smoke anymore.”

But now...

Tommy looked at the fireworks flickering at his fingertips and thought of Noelle smoking during the day.

He always felt that Noelle seemed different now.

The phone suddenly rang. It was Tommy’s friend calling.

“Tommy, did you throw sister-in-law into the sea? Even if you have changed your mind, isn’t it a bit too much to do this? After all, sister-in-law has been with you since you started from scratch. It is said that a wife who has been with you for a long time will be a good wife–”

“Stop talking nonsense.”

Tommy interrupted his friend and raised his hand to pinch his forehead. “She cherishes her life very much and will not let herself get hurt. Maybe she has secretly gone ashore and returned home.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, but he couldn’t help but persuade, “But you and sister-in-law have been together for so many years. Don’t really play it too much.”

Tommy suddenly sighed and his expression softened. “After eight years of marriage, she has devoted herself to her career. There is no passion between us. I am just pursuing a moment of excitement. When I have enough fun, I will naturally return to my family. What’s more… Noelle drank alcohol in the early years and hurt her body. It is difficult for her to get pregnant. I just want to be with a child.”

After speaking, Tommy hung up the phone.

Little did he know that Noelle was packing her things in the Baldwin Family’s villa. She put the divorce certificate she had just received into her bag and then took out a big iron bucket and threw all the photos of herself and Tommy into it.

After a fire, her past with Tommy was gone.

“Let’s go.”

Noelle glanced at Louie.

The two of them walked past the servants who fainted on the ground and strode out of the Baldwin Family.

Tommy, I hope I will never see you again in this life.
