Chapter 1

On the third day of my hospitalization after an induced abortion, I stared blankly at the grayish-white ceiling in silence.My bulging belly had flattened. My daughter, whom I had been looking forward to for six months, was pulled out by iron tongs.My heart ached so badly it felt like I couldn't breathe.Warm tears slid down my hair from the corners of my eyes. I turned my head to look at the woman lying on the hospital bed next to me. She was lucky. From her hospitalization to the birth of her child, all her family members were busy tending to everything.My husband and son only came once during my three-day hospitalization. Then, they left in a hurry because they had to rush to watch the premiere of Winona White's play.I received a message. It was a video Winona sent.The background of the video was a restaurant near the theatre. Winona was still wearing delicate stage makeup. The handsome man sitting beside her, who was cutting steak into small pieces, was my husband of six

Chapter 2

It rained heavily on the day of my discharge. I was soaked through when I returned to Quest Villa.As soon as Zac saw me, he covered his nose in disgust. "You reek!"The summer rain had a muddy smell, but it was not unpleasant. He was saying that just to make Winona smile.Sure enough, his exaggerated performance made Winona, who was wearing my pajamas, cover her mouth and chuckle softly. Her eyes were brimming with pride and provocation as she looked at me.I simply ignored her and turned around to go upstairs.Sterling hurried out of the kitchen, frowning and looking at me with disgust. "Winona put aside work today to spend time with Zac. It's one thing that you're not grateful, but who are you showing that attitude to?"I stood on the steps, my gaze indifferent. "Yeah, that's why I'm letting her have you. Let's get divorced."My voice was soft but clear.A trace of disdain flashed in Sterling's eyes. "Sienna, where did you learn this bad habit? You're always threatening to d

Chapter 3

The reason why the Quest family had always looked down on me was my poor background.To graduate from university, I worked part-time at Quest Villa as a caretaker, taking care of Sterling's seriously ill grandfather, Henry.Henry was an antique enthusiast and a renowned archaeologist. Henry and I got along very well because our majors were related. He even wanted to adopt me as his goddaughter and cover all my university tuition fees.Sterling had just been dumped by Winona at the time. He spent his days racing and drinking heavily, living a muddled life.I originally had no contact with him because he did not often come home. Even though he and I were studying at the same university, he never knew me. He only went back to visit Henry during the holidays.It was not until Winona got engaged abroad that he got dead drunk again. I got pregnant with Zac because of his drunken episode. Sterling was nearly beaten to death by Henry after that day.My marriage to Sterling was also arran

Chapter 4

The car came to a halt at the staff dormitory building of the museum.I carried my suitcase upstairs and opened the single apartment that my boss, Alex Darmon, had reserved for me. Before I could even unpack, I received a call from Alex."Sienna, there's a mission from above. A large tomb has been discovered in the Patagonian Desert. They need urgent restoration of cultural relics. I booked a flight for tomorrow for you. Hurry up and pack your luggage! This mission is important. Don't worry, I'll go with you to apologize to Mr. Quest when you come back...""No need, Mr. Darmon. I'm planning to get divorced. I'll focus on the restoration of cultural relics from now on," I replied softly.Sterling had never liked me devoting myself entirely to the restoration of cultural relics. He did not have any respect for the work and said that it would prevent me from concentrating on taking care of Zac. I cared about him and Zac, so I always rejected business trips that Alex arranged.Only no

Chapter 5

Three years later."Mommy..." A child's innocent voice rang outside the small yard.I took off my apron and pushed the door open with a smile. A dirty little girl plunged into my arms like a cannonball."Did you fight with Goldie again?"Goldie was a male puppy born to the German Shepherd owned by the village chief. It was just a little over eight months old.The little girl grinned sheepishly, showing her front teeth. "I won!" She sounded rather proud."Do you still remember the words I taught you yesterday?" I casually picked up a towel and wiped her face. After a few wipes, the pinkish-white towel turned black, and the little girl's freckled, chubby face was revealed.Her name was Miley Mackie. She was an orphan I adopted after coming to the Patagonian Desert three years ago."Mommy, I'm hungry..." Miley stuck out her tongue as her big, round eyes rolled around. Then, she began changing the subject. "I cut a large basket of grass for the village chief's lambs this morning!"

Chapter 6

I carried Miley home.Sterling refused to leave but was scared to get too close to me, so he could only hold Zac's hand as they followed me from a distance.I just ignored them as I carried Miley home and applied medicine to her wounds. Zac was two years older than her, and he was evidently stronger. Miley's knees and elbows had superficial injuries.I patiently coaxed her as I finally finished applying the medicine.Looking back, I saw Zac looking at me with tears in his eyes. "Mom, my hand hurts too."I looked at the wound on his tender palm that was dusted with sand, but I was indifferent. I loved him to the core in the past. Even a casual cough from him was enough to make me tense, what more a wound like that. "I still have work to do this afternoon. Be good at home, or the wounds will bleed again," I gently instructed Miley.With her big, round eyes wide open, she timidly glanced at Sterling and Zac behind me before glancing back at me. She asked anxiously, "Mommy, are you

Chapter 7

Sterling and Zac's appearance was just a minor episode in my peaceful life. I did not take it seriously at first. Unexpectedly, Sterling bought the house next door and moved in.Zac, the young heir who had been spoiled since childhood, actually imitated Miley to please me.Miley would always get up early to herd sheep. Before leaving, she would make lemonade for me to take to work.Hence, Zac made me a pot of tea using my favorite Earl Grey. He waited at my door with a flask in his arms, staring longingly through the fence. It seemed he had been worried about missing me. However, Miley and Goldie chased him until he almost lost his shoes. Zac was afraid of dogs.Miley said to him smugly, "Don't compete with me for Mom!"Zac was scared to death but still insisted, saying, "She's my mom too. She gave birth to me!"Miley retorted, "Why would Mom rather have me, the one she found, than you? Reflect on that!"Zac was reduced to tears but could do nothing.Zac and Miley bickered wi

Chapter 8

Sterling was much quieter after that day. It was not just that he felt guilty toward me. Quest Group was being criticized by netizens due to Winona's reputation.I had avoided going online for years and only found out recently that it was revealed that Winona's reputation as an award-winning screenwriter was fake. It happened right before the movie based on her was released. Her award-winning work was just a blatant compilation of others' work. She plagiarized the original works of no less than 20 rookie screenwriters.Sterling kept public opinion under fire. For some unknown reason, Sterling suddenly unfollowed Winona two years ago. It was only then that netizens brought up the matter again.Winona went from being hailed as a genius to being scolded online as a plagiarizing fraud, but none of that had anything to do with me.The excavation work of the tomb and the surrounding burial pits was coming to an end after three years. Once all the cultural relics were successfully restore

Chapter 9

Ultimately, all the tomb robbers were captured, and Sterling was promptly sent to the hospital. He was shot in the back because I pushed him.I drove Miley to the city hospital to visit him as he had already come out of the operating room. He had a bandage around his chest. When he saw me, his eyes lit up before quickly dimming.I put the flowers in the vase and comforted him, saying, "Your mother picked up Zac. Summer vacation is coming to an end."Sterling nodded.I glanced at Miley, who was obediently waiting at the door. After much deliberation, I added, "I will take Miley away from here and send her to study in the city. You... I don't want her to have anything to do with the Quest family. Let's get divorced when you recover."Sterling found it hard to accept. His eyes suddenly turned red.I suddenly could not remember what the Sterling who had drunk himself silly and raced recklessly for Winona looked like anymore. He said in a humble yet compromising tone, "So... is it r

Chapter 10

Sterling's POV:In his eyes, Sienna was always quiet and reserved. She was boring, just like her job. Sienna was even more incomparable to Winona.For some reason, every time Sterling returned to his family's house drunk and frustrated, his irritable heart would always calm down after seeing Sienna chatting happily with his grandfather. Thus, he began to deliberately get drunk and return to his family's house just to meet Sienna. Taking advantage of being drunk, he played tricks on her.Sterling was amused by her reddened ear tips. However, what happened later was an accident. Sterling had not meant to hurt Sienna.Later, when his grandfather ordered him to marry Sienna, he was unexpectedly relieved and somewhat... glad and excited.Life after marriage remained as plain as ever.Sienna was fully devoted to her restoration work, which made Sterling very jealous. Thus, he deliberately said Sienna's work would bring bad luck and also used Zac as an excuse to make Sienna focus more o
