"Are you truly not bothered by it anymore?" Eva asked.

Mia responded earnestly, “That's right. Now, I'm living comfortably as the heiress of the Lane family, with everything I desire at my fingertips. How could I possibly care about a worthless ex-husband?"

"Perhaps it's his guilt regarding Ginger that drives him to cling to you, seeking to make amends. These are just empty words from a man. Hear them out, but don't let them weigh on your heart," Eva advised. Gripping her fork, Mia's gaze drifted downward as she softly replied, "I understand.”
