"Mrs. Fulmer, here's the divorce agreement from the safe."On Luna Baxter's fifth wedding anniversary, her secretary, Susanna Mace, handed the divorce papers to her in a Westonian restaurant.On the day Simon Fulmer and Luna registered their marriage five years ago, Simon, as a gesture of sincerity, drafted and signed a divorce agreement before locking it in a safe.The agreement stipulated that Luna could sign it at any time to end the marriage if Simon was ever unfaithful.Luna swiftly signed the document.She looked at the empty seat across from her, her expression dim. "Take the divorce papers to the attorney. Then, book a hotel and prepare the wedding venue in advance."Susanna froze for a moment before she tentatively asked, "Whose names should I write for the bride and groom, Mrs. Fulmer?""Simon Fulmer and Sophie Sutherland," Luna replied, to which Susanna didn't say another word.Sophie was Simon's first love.Susanna's voice trembled as she continued, "Mrs. Fulmer, h

Simon couldn't hold back his smile as he gazed lovingly at Luna."We'll go with the flow. Hopefully, we'll have one by the end of the year. Boy or girl, it doesn't matter. I'll love the child as long as Lulu's the mother."Luna lowered her gaze to the cake before her, remaining silent for a few seconds.Ever considerate, Simon began slicing the cake when a man entered the shop. The man informed Simon that another vehicle had scratched his car and told him to check. Simon frowned, his expression darkening. "I'll go check it out. Lulu, go ahead and dig in. I'll take care of it quickly and come right back. And order yourself a drink, but nothing cold. You're due for your period in two days."His thoughtful words once again drew envious murmurs from the other customers in the shop."Oh my goodness, he even remembers when her period is. Mr. Fulmer really is the perfect man. He's flawless!""I can't even imagine how happy I'd be if I were Ms. Baxter."The shopkeeper glanced at the q

Sophie's eyes turned red with emotion as she nodded excitedly. "Yes! I'll marry you! I'll marry you a hundred times!"The surrounding camera crew immediately erupted into cheers. "Congratulations!"Inside the car, Luna watched the scene unfold with a cold expression, her entire body numb.When Simon proposed to her five years ago, he was just as heartfelt.He had worn a sharp black suit, held a bouquet of vibrant roses, and presented her with a meticulously prepared engagement ring.Back then, he even choked up while proposing."Lulu, you're the only woman I'll ever love in this lifetime. There will be no other women in my heart. I beg you, please marry me. I swear, I'll end myself if I ever cheat."Luna let out a bitter laugh until tears started to fall suddenly.It turned out everything was a lie. The promises, too, were lies.Even his so-called sincerity was fleeting and ever-changing.Looking at Luna with concern, Clover gently asked, "They've left. Should we follow them?

The next day marked the third day of the countdown to Luna's departure.Early in the morning, Simon came to visit Luna with a container of bone broth. "I asked the housekeeper to make this for you. It's your favorite bone broth with vegetables. Try some.""Okay." Luna didn't refuse and ate it slowly, taking small bites.Simon soon left. About half an hour later, Luna turned on the surveillance footage.In the living room, Sophie was throwing a tantrum about wanting to go shopping.It was raining that day, and the roads were slippery. Simon, worried she might fall and hurt the baby, arranged for luxury brands to bring items to the villa for her to choose from.On top of that, he thoughtfully contacted a brand selling maternity and baby products to deliver newborn clothes for Sophie to pick out.That evening, the attorney, Luther Lawson, visited Luna's hospital room."Mrs. Fulmer, your divorce agreement with Mr. Fulmer has officially taken effect.""Thank you." Luna looked at

Simon finally turned his attention to the gift box in front of him. With his mind in chaos, he opened it almost numbly.What met his eyes were pieces of fabric. It was his and Luna's matching shirts, cut into shreds. On top of the pile was a fragment of the collar, still bearing the word "wife", which Luna had personally sewn on.Simon carefully picked up the piece of fabric with "wife" embroidered on it, his legs almost giving way beneath him."This… This is the gift Lulu wanted to give me today? Impossible! Who pulled this cruel prank? She would never cut up our matching shirts..."A memory of their fourth wedding anniversary from a year ago flashed in his mind. Luna had gifted him a custom-made men's version of their matching shirts that night. She had looked at him with gentle, loving eyes, her gaze brimming with tenderness. "Simon, you are my husband, and I am your wife. I cherish every day we spend together. However, if you ever betray me, if I become disappointed in you or
