Chapter 1 Let's Divorce | After the Divorce, Mr. Ortega Was Eaten up by Regrets

Groaning, intertwining, panting... The dim room seemed narrow in the hot and ambiguous atmosphere. Along with the rapid breathing, the steam gradually blurred the clear glass.

Cecilia Moreno's eyes gradually blurred, and she unconsciously scratched Braiden Ortega's tight back, which fluctuated with his breath.

After this ambiguous atmosphere lasted for a long time, the footsteps of leaving finally came outside the door.

Cecilia looked at Braiden, who was tipsy, gasping slightly and turned her head away from his perspiring nose. The air he exhaled fell on her delicate collarbone, which made her tremble...

"Grandpa has left..." Cecilia looked at Braiden and gently reminded him to stop acting.

Braiden ignored her.

He looked at Cecilia fascinatedly, with a distant look in his eyes.

"Cissie..."

Braiden's voice was low, sounding hoarse and magnetic.

He slowly reached out and stroked Cecilia's face.

Cecilia didn't wear any makeup, but her lips were extraordinarily red. Her nose was quite upturned. Probably because of lust, her round nose tip was slightly red.

His breath and voice came to her together.

Cecilia heard he call "Cissie".

It was another woman's name.

She looked at Braiden's familiar and handsome face, approached him with enchantment, put her arms around his neck and kissed him.

She didn't care.

She looked obsessively at Braiden's deep eyes, thinking about the man in her memory that she had pined for.

Suddenly, she came to her senses and looked at the close face. A strange feeling came to her mind, and she felt a little queasy.

Before she could push him away,

Braiden had come back to his senses,

and he pushed her away abruptly.

Being caught off guard, Cecilia felt weak in her legs and staggered backward, almost falling to the floor.

Thinking he had made a mistake, Braiden wanted to help Cecilia. But when his hand reached out half, he remembered the scene just now. With a long face, he immediately took back his hand and turned to tidy up his shirt, which had not been taken off but had been wrinkled.

Cecilia wasn't annoyed by Braiden's actions just now. After stabilizing herself, her eyes were still warm.

"Braiden, are you not feeling well?" After being pushed away rudely, Cecilia still cared about his health subconsciously.

She could tolerate everything Braiden did to her, good or bad. No matter how far he had gone, she was calm and never angry. No matter what he did, she would forgive him. Because of this, everyone thought that Cecilia loved Braiden badly.

But everyone knew that Cecilia was just a substitute.

They regarded Cecilia as a laughingstock, thinking that she couldn't get Braiden's real love even if she was willing to be a substitute and loved him badly. He only loved his so-called white whale.

Everyone was sorry that Cecilia was kept in the dark and didn't know that she was just a substitute for Braiden.

In their opinions, she was just a woman whose heart was filled with the expectation of love in a trance, she had already given up her self-esteem and was laughed at by others.

"Cecilia, let's get a divorce."

Braiden suddenly proposed divorce after finishing tidying up his shirt.

"Cissie is back, and there shouldn't be anything between us anymore."

Braiden continued.

Cecilia didn't answer.

Braiden didn't care to look at Cecilia's expression. He knew that she must be unwilling, and she was probably going to be all over him. Therefore, what he had to do now was to find a way to get divorced smoothly.

He had promised Cissie Patel, so he must keep his words as a man.

But somehow, he felt that his tone was too tough, which was cruel to Cecilia, an orphan girl. Cecilia was alone, and now she had finally got a home. It must have hurt her a lot for him to ask for divorce rashly.

Besides, Cecilia had loved him for so many years. He didn't think she would easily agree to divorce.

He should have a better attitude when he proposed the divorce...

So he added in a low and softer voice,

"As compensation, I will give you a check. You can write as much as you want. I don't know how much money can make up for you, so you can write more..."

This was a great temptation for normal people, so he didn't think Cecilia could refuse...

"I didn't let you go to work after you married into the Ortega family. If you want to work, you can choose any company as well as position under the name of the Ortega Group..."

If she wanted to work hard for a career, the Ortega family could fulfil her wish, as long as she could agree to divorce!

Cecilia had been a gentle and virtuous wife ever since she married into the Ortega family, and he knew she had done a good job.

She was generous, but also clear and thorough, gentle and unobtrusive in character, quiet and steady in manner. Every time when she stood with other women at a banquet, she was the best one.

Everything was done well by her. She had done so much and endured so much. Even though his attitude towards her was not good at all, she still loved him.

But she was not Cissie after all... Cissie was coming back, so it was time for Cecilia to leave...

He knew that Cecilia would cry and refuse, would struggle to keep him, and would be very sad, but he didn't love her...

"I can satisfy you with anything you want, no matter what... You…" Braiden looked at Cecilia with a gentle but firm look.

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted.

"Okay." She replied.

Chapter 2 There Is A Day of Regret Sooner or Later | After the Divorce, Mr. Ortega Was Eaten up by Regrets

Cecilia suddenly interrupted Braiden, for the first time.

And Braiden had rarely spoken so gently to her.

Although the meaning represented was the cruelest, she didn't care much.

Now that his white whale was coming back, her task here had been completed.

She had done a lot for the Ortega family, so she didn't owe them anything, and she didn't owe the man in her memory.

It was time for her to wake up from the dream.

Braiden subconsciously looked up at Cecilia, whose eyes were calm.

His words of persuasion were held back, and he looked up at Cecilia in surprise.

Cecilia still looked quiet and peaceful, just like every day she had been since they got married. From her calm tone, it seemed that she was answering a common question like "What would you like for lunch today?"

She agreed so easily? No crying? No retention?

Braiden was suddenly irritated.

He didn't like this feeling very much.

He hated his emotions being controlled by anyone else, and hated being dominated by anyone else.

Especially when it came to what he was sure of.

How could Cecilia agreed so calmly? He stared closely at her, trying to see sadness in her eyes. She must be pretending to be tough...

How could Cecilia, who loved him so much, have so calmly agreed to divorce?

Yet he failed to find any falsification or hiding on Cecilia's calm face, as if her strong love for him had never existed before.

He looked away with embarrassment.

"I'll talk to you about the divorce tomorrow." Braiden picked up his coat with a cold face.

He had no idea what tricks Cecilia was playing.

Anyway, they must got divorced!

"When Grandpa asks tomorrow morning, just tell him that I am on a business trip."

Braiden take a deep look at Cecilia after he finished speaking.

"Okay." Cecilia answered quietly.

In fact, she was not so calm in her heart. Divorcing Braiden meant that her last thought would be gone.

It also meant that she would say goodbye to that person completely.

Cissie's return just brought all this forward.

Hearing her answer, Braiden took several glances at her in succession. Seeing that she really didn't have special emotions, he turned around and left with a livid face.

Braiden disappeared completely from Cecilia's sight, and she stood up quietly to take a bath.

When Mina Hobbes came back from grocery shopping outside, she ran into Braiden, who pulled a long face.

Braiden gave Mina an inexplicable sense of pressure and tension.

"Mr. Ortega, where are you going so late? Won't you stay for breakfast tomorrow? Mrs. Ortega specially asked me to go out and buy your favorite food after knowing you would come back."

Braiden looked up, and Mina was carrying a big plastic bag in her hand, which was full. Some green and tender vegetables were exposed on the top.

The noodles with vegetable made by Cecilia tasted exactly the same as those made by Cissie.

He did mention to Cecilia the other day that he wanted to have noodles with vegetable cooked by her.

He thought of Cecilia's calm eyes again.

Then his face sank. What was Cecilia up to?

He didn't respond to Mina's words, turned around and got into the luxury car next to him and stepped on the accelerator. The car rushed obliquely to the gate, then made a sharp turn, making a harsh roar, leaving only two strings of lines of tires across the road and showing the bad mood of the owner.

Mina shook her head. From Mr. Ortega's expression, she guessed he must be thinking of Miss Cissie Patel again.

Only Miss Patel could make Mr. Ortega's mood fluctuate so much. Usually, although Mr. Ortega looked very cold, he seldom got angry.

She had seen the look of Mr. Ortega when he thought of Miss Patel, which was just like his look just now.

As long as Mr. Ortega thought of Miss Patel, Mrs. Ortega would suffer. She wondered how Mrs. Ortega was now.

In her opinion, since Mr. Ortega married Mrs. Ortega, he should be nice to her. Yet since they got married, he hadn't treated her well...

Thinking of Mrs. Ortega, who was gentle and virtuous, Mina felt sorry for her. Mrs. Ortega was so nice, but Mr. Ortega actually didn't cherish her. He would regret it sooner or later.
