After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

The tension lingered. As Nathan kept looking my way, I wondered if I had gone too far. I didn’t plan to keep up with him, but I still teased him carelessly. That was irresponsible.

“Victoria, when are you getting a divorce?” Seeing my cold attitude, Nathan suddenly asked a personal question.

I was startled, remembering last night’s argument with Jared. A divorce might happen soon. “Why are you asking? It’s not polite to pry,” I said sternly.

“Sorry, I just care about you,” Nathan said, his eyes warm as he looked at me.

“Even after divorce, I don’t plan to date soon. Don’t waste your time, Mr. Hallman,” I said calmly.
