After saying that, Adeline took her purse and left without looking back. Tiffany didn't expect that Adeline would really divorce Brendan. For a moment, she was surprised, and then she was overjoyed. Did she just get her chance with Brendan? . Now that he and Adeline were broken up, he would definitely return to her. Walking out of the cafe, Adeline looked down at the ring on her finger. The cheap ring was as tasteless and stupid as her marriage. She yanked the ring off her finger and was about to throw it into the trash can. But she held it back. She thought that if she kept the ring, she would have a reminder of how stupid she had been because of Brendan. She would remember to always keep away from her cold, heartless ex-husband. Brendan would never fall in love with her anyway, so she might as well just stay away from him. At the villa, Brendan opened his eyes to a brand-new day. He stretched out his arm to push Adeline away like he always did, only to realize that he'd spent the night alone. Adeline liked to cuddle, so eve ry morning when Brendan woke up, he would find her hugging him. He hated those unnecessary intimate contacts, so the first thing he did every morning was to push her away. After Brendan opened his eyes, it took a few moments for him to recall that A deline had packed her things and left. He sat up. The room was still filled with the fragrance that Adeline liked the best. It was so quiet , which was obviously different from before. Brendan went to the cloakroom

After Adeline wash ed his clothes, she would neatly iron them and ha ng them. She also matched his clothes very well. Brendan took his clothes and got changed. He picked up one of his ties and tried to tie it around his neck, but he was unable to tie it perfectly. Adeline used to do it for him. Starting to get annoyed, Brendan went downstairs. The room was empty. If he'd had too much to drink the night before, Adeline would get up ea rly and prepare a glass of lemonade for him to help with his hangover. Today, there was n . o Adeline an d no glass o f lemonade. A servant came over a nd said, "Breakfast i s ready, Mr. Clemons. Brendan proceeded to the dining table. An exquisite breakfa st had been prepared for him by the servants, but after taki ng a few bites, he found that the food wasn't to his taste. Since he and Adeline got married, Adeline had been pe rsonally preparing food for him every day. She would even pack a lunch box for him to take to the office. However, he didn't want to take it. Occasionally, he'd feel sorry for Adeline and take the lunch box with him. Every tim e he did that, Adeline put on the biggest, childlike smile. If Brendan was being honest, Adeline wasn't a very good cook. The food s he prepared was much worse than those made by the servants at home

But now, eating the breakfast prepared by the servants, he had no appetite. Brendan put down his fork sulkily, stood up, and headed out. Just as he got in the car, his phone rang. "Brendan, did you go and talk to Ad eline last night?" . "Don't you think you're going a bit overboard with your concern for her, Taylor?" Brendan snapped, pulling at h is tie. The moment Taylor mentioned Adeline, rage flared in his chest. He suddenly remembered the scene where me n swarmed around Adeline at the bar. He felt very uncomfortable at the thought of those men coveting his woman. Sensing the displeasure in Bre ndan's voice, Taylor paused fo r a second and then explained. "I just care about you and your wife, Brendan. I don't think she has done anything wrong to you si nce you got married. You seem to be forgetting that Adeline is smart and beautiful. If she becomes single again, then many men will pursue her. I think you'll regret it if you really lose her, man. "Like I give a damn. With a sneer, Brendan added, "You better st ay away from Adeline. Then, he hung up t he phone. This marriage was no t something he wanted in the first place. Adeline was lucky enough to marr y him. Now she was just being des perate to attract his attention. She would come c rawling back to him in no time
