“Although I don’t know him personally, it’s clear to me that he’s a big shot. I’m afraid it’ll be hard for you to live a simple and happy life being if you end up with a big shot Like him.”
“I know. .
Riley didn’t have to warn me. After everything that had happened between me and Caleb, I knew that it wouldn’t be easy for us to be together. ©
As Riley was trying to comfort me, she seemed to be reminded of her own plight, and her expression turned sad.
“Anyway, I hope you’re not silly enough to share a man with another woman just because of your so-called love. Unfortunately, I’m a tragic example of this.”
I nodded in understanding.
After spending time with her these days, I had seen how she Lived her life. If I did what she did and chose love over everything, I could suffer huge losses. So I kept reminding myself not to commit the same mistakes.
“Thanks for the advice, Riley.” I reached for Riley’s hand and squeezed it gratefully.

To my surprise, Adam had gotten off work early this time.
Not only did he pick up Luca from the kindergarten personally, but he also bought a bunch of flowers for Riley.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw the bundle of lilies in Adam’s arms, which gave off a faint floral fragrance
Adam’s sudden change made Luca very happy.
After all, children were forgetful. Luca beamed as Adam handed him a brand new toy car and retreated to the Living room to play with it. It was as though the child had completely forgotten how terrible his father acted when he was drunk the other night.
“I’m sorry, Riley.”

After making amends with Luca, Adam Lowered his head and apologized to his wife.
“I was drunk that night and was upset. I wasn’t thinking straight and took my anger out on you. I’m really sorry.”
But Riley didn’t take the flowers. She just stared at them in a daze.
Adam wasn’t expecting his wife to be so uncooperative, so his apologetic expression soon turned to that of embarrassment.
Seconds ticked by. Finally, Adam had enough and his embarrassment turned to anger. “I’ve already apologized. What more do you want?
Riley, you’re a mother now. Haven’t you Learned to be more forgiving?”
There was more than just a hint of anger in his tone.
Before Riley could say anything, Adam continued, “And why the hell did you embarrass Janiya in the mall this afternoon? Don’t you know how rude that was, Riley?”
Only then did Riley come back to her senses. She snorted and Looked at his livid face fearlessly.
“Janiya tried to drag my assistant’s name through the mud. What was I supposed to do? Roll over and let her get away with it? Adam, I was fighting for my own reputation!”
