Backed against the wall with no other choice, Hester cracked and fell into bed with a stranger. Although it felt like the world was collapsing around her ears when she signed the divorce papers, that night brought a lovely baby into her life. With no idea who the baby's father could be, Hester loved and cared for her child alone. It wasn't until her son's eyes locked on the superstar Wesley's poster that he realized where to find his daddy. On the other hand, Wesley spent all these years looking for the woman who warmed his bed that fateful night. When Wesley saw that little boy with all the features that resembled his, he realized that he still has a chance to make it right. Their story has just begun.
Chapter 1 Divorce Agreement
Taiwan International Hotel
The bright sunlight outside entered the room through the gap between the thick curtains, casting a warm glow. On the bed lay a woman who was sleeping soundly. Soft tendrils of hair framed her gorgeous face. When she turned over in her sleep, the dark silk duvet slipped down, revealing her beautiful naked back. There were faint hickeys on her snow-white skin, a memento of the events of the previous night.
Suddenly, the phone rang, breaking the tranquil silence in the room. The woman stirred and slowly sat up, pushing her fringe out of her face as she tried to clear her cloudy mind.
As she moved, the duvet covering her slipped down, revealing her entire upper body. She instinctively pulled up the duvet and, wincing at the incessant ringing sound, finally picked up the phone.
"Hester, come home right now!"
As soon as she answered the phone, she heard an extremely angry voice shouting at her, making her head pound all of a sudden. Before she could respond, the person on the other end of the call had already hung up. Of course, it was none other than her childhood sweetheart and now husband, Davis Tong.
She had gotten married to him at a young age, like in a fairy tale. Upon hearing his tone, she knew that something must have happened, so she immediately put down the phone and jerked into action. She got out of bed and picked up the clothes strewn on the floor before getting dressed at lightning speed.
Then, she walked into the bathroom and tidied up a little. After that, she strode over to the bedside table to grab her phone. Just as she bent down to pick it up, however, she noticed a check lying beside it. After seeing the account number and signature on it, she quickly turned her head and looked at the bed next to her.
The bed was a total mess, as if she had tossed and turned the whole night.
Hester Gu reached out and patted her head. She had drunk too much last night, not to mention that she had been awakened so suddenly this morning, so her mind was in a state of confusion and she could not recall what had happened last night at all.
Looking at the phone in her other hand, she suddenly remembered the phone call just now and ran out the suite without thinking any further.
A while later, Hester Gu arrived at a mansion surrounded by beautiful scenery. She rushed up the stairs, took out the key, and opened the door. When she walked to the living room, she saw everyone in the house standing there with solemn looks on their faces, as if they were at a funeral.
It was only then that she realized that something was wrong. She turned to her in-laws and greeted, "Dad, Mom..."
"Hester, what do you think of yourself?" Before she could finish her words, Davis Tong walked forward and interrupted her, throwing a bunch of photos at her with anger written all over his face.
Hester Gu squatted down and picked up the photos he had thrown in front of her one by one. The photos showed a man and a woman walking into a five-star hotel at night. Although she couldn't tell who the man was, she could clearly see that the woman in the photo was her. For a moment, she felt like the breath had been knocked out of her.
Then, as if realizing where she was, she stood up in a hurry and turned to her husband. "Davis, listen to me..."
"Do you think there's anything to explain?" Davis Tong asked sharply, cutting her off again before she could say anything else. "What reason can you possibly give to explain such a dirty thing?" "I..."
Hester Gu shook her head helplessly. She really wanted to explain it, but after seeing those photos, she felt lost as well. The memory of last night lingered in her mind, but every time she felt like she was close to recalling it, it slipped out of her reach. She felt like she was grasping at nothing but air.
"All right, stop." At last, her father-in-law stepped in and said, "What can be proven by just some photos? With the current technology, everything can be faked."
"I want a divorce," Davis Tong said firmly without giving any room for negotiation. When he looked at Hester Gu, his face was full of disgust, as if he had seen his wife in bed with another man.
"No! Hester is and will always be our daughter-in-law," Davis Tong's mother, who had been silent so far, finally said, trying to calm her son down before he did anything too drastic.
"I can't live with someone who did such a shameless thing. I want a divorce," Davis Tong said again in a determined voice. Then, he placed a document on the tea table.
Hester Gu rushed over to Davis Tong and grabbed his shirt, knowing what the document was without even looking at it. "I know I made a mistake! I know it was wrong! But I will make up for it, I promise. Don't divorce me, okay?" she begged desperately.
But Davis just reached out and pulled her hands away, and his face twisted in disgust. "Don't touch me. I feel sick just looking at you."
All of a sudden, Hester froze, feeling like she had been stabbed in the heart. She had never expected such words to come out of her husband's mouth.
She wanted to stay married to him for the rest of her life, but for him, their marriage had become something repulsive. She felt so aggrieved that she couldn't hold in the tears that silently fell down her face.
Davis was the man that she had wanted to marry since she was young, and the man that she had loved for so many years since then. "Please don't talk about divorce, Davis, I beg you. I can't live without you... "
This time, Davis didn't interrupt her with words, but with a slap. Hester froze in shock, feeling her cheek burn with pain. Even the tears in her eyes stopped falling.
Davis' reaction had been so unexpected that even his parents, who had been about to try to dissuade him, held back their words.
"Your tears are worthless. Who are you crying for? I've already made up my mind. Sign the papers," Davis said mercilessly, staring straight at Hester without any emotion in his eyes.
"How dare you! If you dare to divorce her, don't ever enter the house of the Tong family again," his father said, suddenly becoming enraged.
Davis turned his gaze from Hester to his parents, but his firm eyes never changed. Then, without saying another word, he stormed out of the gates of the Tong family's mansion.
The entire family watched him leave, holding their breaths. It was only when the door slammed shut with a loud bang behind him that Hester snapped back to reality. She slowly turned her eyes to the document that sat on the tea table. With her heart pounding, she reached out and picked it up. When she saw the words "divorce agreement" on it, her hand trembled and let go of the document.
As it fell to the floor, Hester collapsed onto the ground too, staring blankly at the place where Davis had signed his name. Her tears finally began to fall again.
