Lin Wan ultimately couldn’t turn him down.

She looked at Mo Yixuan and thanked him with a nod.

It was an extremely good deal because she had gotten a house that she had always wanted after taking care of this man for slightly more than four months.

She knew that some things in life couldn’t be forced but she felt a little wistful at what could have been.

“Did you lose custody of your daughter?” Mo Yixuan suddenly switched to a different topic. He didn’t know much about this woman and he merely knew her as someone who looked after him.

Lin Wan frowned and her heart clenched at the mention of her daughter.

It had been several months since she had last seen her daughter who was not even 8 years old. Her daughter didn’t have a handphone, so there was no way of contacting her.

She shook her head and her voice sounded a little hoarse as she said, “No.”

She hoped that she would be able to get custody of her daughter but her daughter’s father was better off financially, so she didn’t insist on fighting for her daughter’s custody because she wanted the best for her daughter.

“Why did you get a divorce?” Mo Yixuan asked.

He didn’t know what was wrong with him but he suddenly wanted to hear her story.

Lin Wan’s expression darkened and her heart sank.

Those terrible memories surfaced in her mind’s eye.

“I wasn’t suitable for him…” she said with a wry smile.

“Really?” Mo Yixuan said as he looked at her and clocked the look of resignation and anguish on her face.

He could tell that she had a story to tell.

Lin Wan took a deep breath and paused for a moment before she said solemnly, “He fell for an influencer six years ago and she was the sort of influencer who did live streams online.”

“Did he initiate the divorce?” Mo Yixuan asked.

Lin Wan’s heart hurt. Despite the fact that many years had passed, she couldn’t help but feel extremely upset and hurt whenever she thought about it.

She shook her head with a wry smile and said, “He did. He said he loved her and this was the first time he experienced the beauty and intensity of love. He said that he only knew what love was like after he met her.”

Lin Wan felt as though something had pierced through her heart and she placed a hand over her heart after she shared her story with him. It was as though her scab had been torn off, revealing the wound that throbbed painfully beneath.

Mo Yixuan remained silent because he didn’t know how to comfort her. There wasn’t anyone to comfort him either.

“Did you know that he actually knelt down and begged me to agree to a divorce so that he could be with his lover?” she said.

Lin Wan started getting a little choked up at that and tears quickly rolled down her cheeks.

She couldn’t forget the anguish and despair she had felt at that time. This was the man whom she had dated for five years and had been married to for three years. She couldn’t believe that he had told her that he had fallen for another woman and that she was his true love. He felt that he was living with her out of habit rather than love. He apologized profusely but each word of apology felt like a knife that sliced at her heart.

Mo Yixuan handed her a piece of tissue.

“It’s all over now,” he said.

Lin Wan accepted his tissue and thanked him. She sounded a little choked up.

This was the first time she had shared her painful experience with someone else.

She had merely told her friends or relatives who asked about her divorce that they weren’t suitable.

She didn’t want to tell the truth because the truth was extremely ugly.
