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

I always figured Nathan would live in a mansion. Once a guy made it big, he usually wanted. something flashy to show off his success.

But Nathan actually lived in an upscale neighborhood not far from his company. He’d got an apartment on the third floor.

I parked in his underground garage and took the private elevator straight up to his place. At the entrance, there was this mechanical model holding an endless ring. I had no clue what it was supposed to mean.

Nathan looked kind of nervous. His face was red.

He wasn’t as chilly as usual. When he opened the shoe cabinet, he looked a bit annoyed and mumbled, “Only my shoes in here. Uh, you can just keep yours on if you want.”

I glanced down at my high heels and said, “Yeah, that’s fine.”

Nathan flipped on the living room lights. The place was almost empty, nothing but the

essentials, no extra touches anywhere. It didn’t even have that lived–in, homey vibe.

Nathan noticed my surprised look and explained, “I’m at the office most of the time, so I haven’t really decorated much.”

I got it. Guys just aren’t as detail–oriented or emotionally expressive as women, especially

when it comes to their homes.

If this were a woman’s place, there’d probably be a few pots of flowers on the balcony,

some cute, cozy furniture, and even the walls would be painted in warm colors.

It felt like I was dropping by unannounced, and everything about Nathan was laid bare in front of me. He seemed a bit flustered, but his eyes were sincere when he looked at me.
