He rested his chin on the top of my head, his voice gradually choking as he told me how painful and tormented he had been in the past without me.

Then, Eva appeared. He said that Eva was like the sun, pulling him out of that dark period.

In order to comfort him, Eva, who was allergic to alcohol, drank with him until she was hospitalized; and although I was timid and afraid, I could rush into a group of thugs holding iron bars and knives for him, hug him tightly and not let anyone hit him.

He said that Eva is very similar to me in some ways, both of us can love him selflessly and always stand by him regardless of right or wrong.

So, he fell for her. When I was away, he mistook Eva for me. He felt that he owed Eva , so he didn't break off contact with her.

This is his explanation to me. After hearing this, I struggled with my inner pain. I felt sorry for the pain he had silently endured after I went abroad, and I wanted to forgive him. But when I thought about the fact that he and Eva almost had a child, I couldn't convince myself.

"Serena, I love you more than anyone else. When you were abroad, I thought about dying. If it weren't for Eva, I might not have waited until you returned."

Seeing that I didn't say anything or express my opinion, he suddenly picked up the fruit knife on the bedside table.

I was so scared that I hugged him quickly. My unusually nervous behavior made him chuckle, " Serena , I just want to peel some fruit for you. You still care about me, right? Okay, I was wrong, don't be angry anymore."

I didn't say anything, I just hugged his waist silently. Tears fell again. I knew he was testing me by peeling fruit, but I still cared about him.

After a while, I asked in a hoarse voice, "What about Eva? Will you break up with her?"

I was so tense, afraid that he would say he would never give up Eva.

Fortunately, he didn't. He ruffled my hair and said softly, " Serena , she's just a stand-in. I was wrong before. Can I call her and make things clear now?"

" Yes." I responded softly, but I still wanted to see him make the decision in person.

After a ring, Eva's voice came from the other end of the line. "Hello, Han, what's going on?"

Ethan suddenly kissed my cheek, as if to reassure me. Then, he said coldly to Eva on the other end of the phone: "I'll give you one million and let's end it. I don't want to make my wife jealous and sad anymore."

Eva on the other end of the phone seemed to have known this for a long time and said calmly, "Okay. But I don't want the one million. I love you, don't insult me with money."

After hanging up the phone, I still couldn't feel happy for some reason.

Finally, I reluctantly ate some fruit fed by Ethan and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, it was already dark outside the window. Ethan was not around, but my phone kept vibrating. I picked up the phone and found that it was a bombardment of messages from Eva .

"Serena, are you awake? Ah Han is apologizing to me. Did I act well today? Do you want to hear Ah Han's true feelings?"

Looking at the dozen or so voice messages she sent me, I clicked on them with shaking hands. "Baby, don't be angry. I was just lying to her. You will always be the one I love the most."

"You have never been anyone's substitute. You are Eva, my favorite Eva. I can clearly distinguish between you and her."

"Thank you for acting with me, my baby. If I don't act for her, she will tell my parents about it, and then we will be even less likely to be together."

After listening to each of these, I felt like I was just rescued from an icy lake, but the person who rescued me suddenly let go of my hand. The chill penetrated my bones, and my heart and my entire body seemed to be frozen.

"Have you heard it? If you'd like to know better, take the initiative to ask Ah Han for a divorce. By the way, I'm divorced too, but Ah Han doesn't know yet. I want to give him a surprise, so stop pestering him."

"A marriage without love can never be happy. Look at what a miserable life you have been through in the past three years."

"Ah Han didn't touch you much, right? Because I asked him to. And he slept with me so many times that he didn't have the energy to pay attention to you."
