Eva clung to his leg, raising her innocent face to look up at him. She then said, “Daddy, don’t go back to that bad woman who can’t even have babies.”
Theodore was stunned. He had heard Eva say the same thing the night before. At the time, he had been too focused on Camelia and hadn’t thought much about it. But now, hearing those words again, they sounded crueler than ever.
He turned to look at Camelia, and his perception of her shifted instantly. How could she teach a child to speak so maliciously? Theodore pried Eva off his leg with a grim expression and said, “Amber has never stooped so low to play games or manipulate others. She doesn’t even have

the heart to do so. I’ve known her since childhood, and I know her character better than anyone.”
With a determined look, he added, “Last night, Amber endured so much. She must be devastated. I need to go home and comfort her.”
Then, without another word, he said, “You can try on the clothes slowly and charge them to my account,” before turning and walking away, ignoring Camelia’s calls.
Theodore sped home like lightning. But when he arrived, Amber was gone. The only thing left was a document on the coffee table that made his eyes sting.
His heart sank. He replayed the moment from yesterday when Amber had approached him, holding papers. Had this been what she

wanted to discuss? Had she already made up her mind to divorce him?
He didn’t understand her reasons. As he searched, he found a USB drive next to the papers. Curious and anxious, he plugged it into his laptop. As the audio file played, his face turned pale.
At that moment, his colleague called. “Theodore, you’re really too much. Even if you’re head over heels for Luna Camelia, you shouldn’t be so obvious about it! Don’t you care about Amber? She must’ve been devastated when she saw it.”
“Huh?” Theodore was confused.
“Are you seriously saying you don’t know? Or are you pretending? You and Luna Camelia were on TV this morning during the parent–child event at Eva’s school. The event

was broadcast live. People are calling you two the ‘most attractive couple. It’s trending online. The Blue Moon Pack Propaganda Department is already working overtime to suppress the hot search.”
Theodore froze. He finally remembered that Amber always watched the local news in the morning.
Noticing his silence, his colleague asked in confusion, “Hello? Theodore, are you there? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Theodore didn’t speak for a long time. Then, he rubbed his face in frustration and said, his voice thick with heartache, “Amber…she knows everything. Someone sent her the recording of our conversation. She left the divorce papers and disappeared. She doesn’t need me anymore.”

Theodore searched frantically for I, but I had already arrived at The Eclipse Pack and had started working successfully as a wolf trainer.
I had always loved working as a wolf trainer, but Theodore had forbidden me from working after the accident. He had claimed he was worried about my safety. He even said, “I’ll take care of you for the rest of your life.”
I had believed him, thinking that since I couldn’t give him children, the least I could do was be the perfect wife. I devoted myself to managing the household and supporting him every single day.
Now, looking back, I realized how foolish I had been. Thankfully, I still had my skills. It didn’t take long for me to adjust to the new environment, and within a few days, I was

comfortably settled into the rhythm of my job.
Meanwhile, Theodore’s relentless calls and messages through WhatsApp went unanswered. I had blocked him on every platform.
Camelia and Theodore’s photos and videos, as “The Most Attractive Couple,” went viral, and netizens quickly uncovered their identities.
When Theodore had bought that pink diamond necklace, many people had been there. Some curious bystanders even asked if it was a gift for his wife. He hadn’t corrected them and had simply smiled,
nodding to their assumption. No one expected that, in the end, the necklace would end up on Camelia’s hand.

A lot of people started pairing Camelia and Theodore together as a couple. They even spun many romanticized tales about their sad and abusive love story.
Theodore had neither confirmed nor denied the rumors, as if tacitly agreeing with them.
Well, whether he responded or not, it no longer mattered to me. For the next two weeks, I concentrated on my work, unaware that, back home, a storm was brewing.
