V
This sentence completely shattered Evelyn’s defense line.Â
It has always been you.Â
She chewed on these words, torturing herself as each sentence echoed in her mind.Â
She leaned weakly against the handrail in the corridor, her eyes dull and lifeless, not knowing how long she had been walking.Â
Martin’s heart was occupied by Isabel, without a place for Evelyn.Â
What could she do by taking his wife’s place?Â
No matter how hard you tried, he would not love you.Â
Did you not have enough of those sorrowful ten years in the previous liteÂ
Evelyn chuckled self–deprecatingly, and a conviction formed in her heart.Â
Why not let go, let each other go, and let them be fulfilled.Â
At that moment, the sound of a cellphone ringing came.Â
It was Martin..Â
Evelyn’s hand trembled, and she hung up directly.Â
The text message was sent immediately.Â
“Where did you go?Â
Evelyn looked around and realized that she had unknowingly walked quickly to the entrance of theÂ
store.Â
But she didn’t reply to the message, pretending she hadn’t seen it.Â
Because she didn’t want to see this man now.Â
On the other side, Martin looked at the unanswered text message, his brow furrowed.Â
Late at night.Â
The sound of the door opening rang out.Â
Evelyn on the sofa turned her head and saw Martin walking in, pulling his tie.Â

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.Â
Martin’s face changed constantly as he casually asked, “Why haven’t you slept yet?”Â
Evelyn also averted her gaze, having already calmed her emotions, and replied as usual, “I couldn’t sleep, so I watched some TV.”Â
Martin, however, came over and sat across from her. He paused for a moment and said, “I ran into. Isabel at the restaurant today, I didn’t expect her to have returned to her home country.”Â
Is this… an explanation?Â
Evelyn looked up in surprise, with a hint of uncertainty and a glimmer of hope.Â
Then, Martin said, “I and her don’t have anything anymore, don’t go bother her.”Â
The warning tone is evident in the language.Â
Evelyn was stunned.Â
The excruciating pain was felt after an extreme absurdity.Â
With red eyes, she asked with great effort to suppress the trembling of her voice, “If… she came back three months ago, would you still marry me?”Â
Martin glanced at her and simply said, “We were already married.”Â
Husband and wife, what an intimate yet unfamiliar term.Â
In the previous life, we were married for ten years, only to realize the closeness and distanceÂ
between loved ones.Â
She couldn’t ask that question until the moment of divorce – Martin, have you ever liked me even aÂ
little bit?Â
Watching Martin’s departing figure, Evelyn inexplicably felt a sense of weariness.Â
That night, she did not sleep soundly.Â
In the previous life, it was the resolute figure of Martin’s divorce that appeared for a moment.Â
Martin’s eyes went out of control when Isabel’s parents grabbed her and shouted “vixen” at herÂ
again.Â
When she woke up, Martin had already left.Â
Evelyn perked up and put on makeup, getting ready for work.Â
Chapter 2Â
At the Wilson Group, there was the Secretary Department.Â
Watching Evelyn and George hand over the work.Â
Evelyn’s colleague and good friend, Jenny Brown, had a mouth big enough to fit an egg.Â
“What happened? Did you quit? Why did you have to hand over your work? You were about to be promoted after five years, why did you leave?”Â
Evelyn looked helpless and came up with a prepared excuse, “No, I was pregnant, I just got transferred from my position.”Â
“Pregnant! When diÂ
you get married and who did you marry?!”Â
This heavy news came crashing down, shocking Jenny to the point where her eyes were about toÂ
pop out.Â
“Three months ago.”Â
Evelyn only answered the first question.Â
In the previous life, they had a secret marriage for ten years, to the extent that even the company had very few people who knew about it until their divorce.Â
Public is public, private is private, it is Martin’s consistent principle.Â
Jenny was going crazy, “Too fast! I’ve never heard you mention it before. Do you both like each other? A marriage without love is like loose sand, it scatters with a single gust of wind.”Â
Evelyn could only say, “I was pregnant.”Â
“What’s wrong with being pregnant? You can always have an abortion, right? Who said it’s necessary to give birth? Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and being with someone you don’t love will only lead to resentment or divorce in the end, isn’t it the same result?”Â
This sentence made Evelyn pause for a moment.Â
A sourness suddenly surged in my heart.Â
Jenny’s words were like a prophecy come true.Â
Wasn’t it just like this in the previous life?Â
At this moment, George called, “Ms. Gomez, please come to the Secretary Department. The new secretary is here for an interview. Please come and close the door.”Â

“Okay,”Â
Evelyn hung up the phone and sat down in the interview room.Â
The sound of the door opening, she looked up and a familiar white dress came into view.Â
Isabel raised a faint smile and said, “Hello, interviewers.”Â
