Maizie could only take a step back to move forward so that it didn’t look too obvious. Francisco suddenly
took all his cash out of his wallet and threw them on the bed. “This is all I have. I can’t give you anything
more.” Maizie froze as if she felt humiliated, “What … What do you think I am?” “What do you think?”
Francisco buttoned up his coat. “You climbed on top of me while I passed out. You did this to yourself.
Do you think you’ll marry into the Boucher family after sleeping with me? Naha.” Francisco left without
looking back and slammed the door on the way out.
Maizie looked at the money scattered on the bed and threw the pillow. “You wait, Francisco Boucher!”
Francisco got home and saw that Eugene was having tea while reading his papers. He saw that
Francisco didn’t greet him, so he slammed the cup on the table. “Where were you last night?”
“I was drunk and slept at my friend’s place.” Francisco went upstairs without looking at him.
Eugene tossed the papers onto the table. It was getting too obvious that this boy was going against him.
At the apartment block… Samantha was cleaning the living room when she heard the doorbell. She
thought it was Francisco, so she went ahead and opened the door.
When she saw Eugene standing outside, her expression changed. “Why are you here?” Eugene wasn’t
friendly. “Why can’t I be here? Your son didn’t come back last night. Aren’t you going to say something
about it?”
Samantha was amused that he had come all the way there to blame her. “We’re divorced. You’re the
father, and you got him to stay with you. If you can’t control him, you can’t come and blame me for it.”
Eugene saw that she was closing the door, so he blocked it and calmed his tone. “We’ve been married
for so many years. Do we really have to become enemies?”
After their divorce, he did some selfreflection and realized that he hadn’t been treating her well.
Now that their son was an adult, the home was a lot quieter, and when he got home, no one was there
waiting anymore.
Samantha said in a calm voice, “I never saw you as my enemy. Francisco is my son, and you’re his
father,” “Samantha, I… I know I wasn’t great, but I realized that the home is too quiet without you. I wish
you could move back.”
That surprised her, but she quickly calmed down. “That’s impossible.”
“Why?”
Eugene grabbed her shoulder. “Because of the divorce? We can get back together if you want to-”
“Eugene!” Samantha slowly moved his hand away and said in an understanding tone, “Some
relationships just won’t work once a crack is formed.” “Think about Francisco-‘ “I’ve already done a lot for
him.” Samantha calmly cut him off. “I would have asked for a divorce a lot earlier if it weren’t because of
him.”
Eugene choked, not knowing what to say.
“I’ve waited so long, and now that he’s all grown up and has plans of his own, I just want to be me and
not live for anyone.”
Eugene drove away from the apartment, and once he passed the gates, Katrina got out of the cab with a
mask on.
The car looked familiar, and she recognized it-it was Eugene.
Katrina’s body stiffened. Why was he there? To see his ex-wife? Or.
Her phone rang, and she hesitated to pick it up because it was an unfamiliar number.
“Did you spread the news?” Katrina smiled coldly when she heard the voice, “Yelena Chase, are you
questioning me?”
