Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Trying his best was an understatement; Abner was pushing his limits.

In the latter half of his junior year, Abner topped his class, a feat that coincided with the approach of his seventeenth birthday.

At the same time, Shirley had just graduated. Initially dreaming of teaching, she was instead persuaded by her mentor to stay on. Throughout her college years, she'd been closely mentored, participating in numerous competitions. Now, her mentor offered her an opportunity to pursue further studies for three more years, with the promise of a teaching position in a prestigious university thereafter.

Without hesitation, Shirley accepted. This commitment meant she became busier, especially since her mentor's projects often involved international collaborations. It was during her trips abroad that she discovered her mentor's esteemed status as a visiting professor in foreign research institutes. During a two-month stay abroad, Shirley received a call from Mr. James, informing her of Abner's achievement. "He's not just made us proud; he's also the top of his class. However, I've noticed he's been staying late at school. Are you abroad by any chance?"

"Yes, Mr. James, I'm currently overseas."
