Chapter 6
I took one last look at the villa before leaving the courtyard. I would never come back again.
Tina Carter stood by the door, quietly wiping her tears away as she watched me. “Are you really leaving, Madam?”
Tina had been here ever since I moved in. She had been so kind to me, treating me as if I was her own. I figured she would be the
only person who would genuinely shed tears for my departure.
I held Tina’s hands in mine and softly smiled. “This is a good thing for me. You should be congratulating me instead.”
Everything was done efficiently on Yohan’s side–his assets were transferred to me shortly after.
I used the spare money in my account to purchase a 2,000–square–foot loft that caught my eye last month.
The previous owner had immigrated, and the place was already renovated in a romantic continental style. I took a liking to it at
once–no renovations were needed, and I could even move in on the same day.
I quickly signed the agreement and had the movers send all my belongings over.
I had already hired several organizers. My belongings were neatly sorted and arranged in less than a day’s time. It was money
well spent.
I relaxed in the lounge chair in front of the floor–to–ceiling windows, enjoying the outside view. My life could finally start anew
now.
Samuel soon arrived carrying multiple bags. He was the first person I told after the divorce. After all these years, I have gotten
used to telling him about everything and anything–and he would be on my side unconditionally.
“Why did you bring all these with you?” I asked, looking at the things he had brought over.
“We have to have your first meal here in your new place, so I picked up some groceries,” Samuel said, storing everything neatly in
the fridge. “I got you some fruits and milk. Now that it’s getting colder, let them sit at room temperature before eating. Also—”
I couldn’t help but find him amusing–what a nagger!
However, I was shocked when I suddenly saw the box on the floor shaking violently. “That box is moving, Samuel!”
Samuel chuckled and replied, “It’s a gift for you–come and open it up!”
I was hesitant, yet I heard a soft meow. My eyes lit up as I rushed over and carefully opened the box. To my surprise, it was a golden exotic shorthair.
I crouched down to observe the cat closely. The one Samuel picked was especially affectionate–it was rubbing against my calves.

My heart almost melted at the sight.

I never imagined I could ever own a cat as Yohan was germaphobic. Samuel was the only one who knew I was fond of cats.
I hugged the cat and squealed. “You really know me best, Samuel!”
I had the cat in my arms and played with it for some time. I named it Fluffy.
Samuel quickly finished preparing our meals. He then picked up a pork rib and placed it on my plate.
“Will you be alright staying here alone tonight?” he asked, worried. Perhaps he thought I might do something rash–after all, I
had loved Yohan so much.
“Don’t worry. I was the one who asked for the divorce–I no longer had feelings for Yohan. It’s like something just clicked in my
mind after the car accident, isn’t that amazing?” I said.
Samuel smiled in relief when he realized that I wasn’t faking my relaxed expression. “I’m really glad you’ve figured things out-
Yohan never deserved you. Now that you’re divorced, do you want to return to the company?”
Before my pregnancy, I was the one helping Dad manage the company. Once I got pregnant, he handed the company over to
Samuel, who was only 18 and still on summer break.
But it turned out Dad had great foresight–the company’s revenue tripled in just two months.
From then on, Samuel balanced his schooling and running the company. He quickly became one of the most promising young
entrepreneurs.
