Chapter 12
Anika looked around and felt strange.
She forgot her way back again.
She pulled out her phone and tried to navigate back, but it took her a long time to remember the name of the place where she lived.
Trent had been following her. Seeing that shortly after Joshua was gone, she was standi in situ alone, he couldn't help but be worried.
"Anika."
Instinctively, Anika thought that Joshua had returned.
There was a flicker of hope in her eyes, but the second she turned back, the hope in her eyes was replaced by loss.
Trent walked over to her."You really don't remember me?"
She looked at him, unable to remember who he was.
"I'm Chubby,remember?"reminded Trent.
Anika then recalled that he was her good friend Chubby she had met when she lived with Clare in the countryside.
At that time, Trent was chubby and shorter than her, and now he was a tall man who was almost 2 meters and handsome.

"I remember now. You've changed so much that I didn't recognize you."
It was a good thing to meet someone from childhood when one was away.
The forced smile on Anika's face made Trent feel unpleasant.
"Come on,I'll take you home."
After dropping her off, he found that she was living in a dilapidated hotel. Chapter 12
He was surprised. The Conan family was a rich family.
Even if Joshua divorced her, he never should have let her end up here.
Anika was a little embarrassed."I've made myself a fool.
"Don't tell Clare that I live here. I'm afraid she'll be worried."
Trent nodded having no idea what to say to comfort her.
It was too late.
It would be improper for him to stay here any longer.
He left after telling Anika that he would come here to visit her tomorrow.
After walking out of the hotel, Trent didn't notice a matte black Cadillac parked downstairs. in the dark.
For Anika,it didn't matter where she lived.
Trent was gone.
She felt sick to her stomach and dizzy from drinking.
Joshua's words echoed in her mind.
He said, "A ghost, with your makeup.
"What man would dig a woman like you?"
She rubbed the makeup on her face and the lipstick on her lips. Her pale face was red and swollen from her action.
She knew she had depression earlier.
After learning the situation, she searched for certain rough details about depression.
Depression could cause brain damage. Depression could not only cause memory loss but also lead to cognitive dysfunction, which could make people dwell on unhappy things all the time and amplify those unh

Suddenly, a sound rang out.
Chapter 12
There was a heavy knock at the door.
Figuring that Trent had come back, Anika stood up to open the door.
She had just opened the door when Joshua grabbed her wrist.
As he pressed, she felt as if her delicate wrist was about to break.
"Anikal guess I didn't give you enough credit
Joshua put his hand behind him and closed the door.
Then he dragged her to the sofa.
"Turns out that you've found another man as your next husband. No wonder you are willing to let go, he sneered coldly.
His words were like a knife
Anika realized that Joshua had seen Trent and misunderstood something.
She didn't get it. How come Joshua could hold on to his first love, while she was allowed to
do nothing?
She looked directly at the angry Joshua,her eyes red.
"You and me both.
The Carey family tricked Joshua into marrying Anika.
Joshua had been cold to her for three years, and there was still something going on.
between him and his first love.
Neither of them was better than the other.
Joshua had some wine today,too, and reeked of it.
He pinched Anika's chin, his eyes were red,and his voice was deep.
"Who was he?
"When did you meet?"

"Are you jealous?"
His p
eyes went dark, and he sneered, "Do you deserve it?"
Anika had a lump in her throat.
Joshua suddenly pressed over and continued to ask in her ear.
'Did you have sex already?Tell me."
They were married for three years. Because of the Conan family's rules,she gave up her
job,and occasionally,some friends would invite her, but she turned all of them down.
Yet now, Joshua didn't believe her...
At this moment, she suddenly felt relieved somehow
"What do you think?" she asked.
Joshua was so enraged that he ran his burning palms all the way down her body.
Anika felt her blood freeze, and she couldn't believe what was happening
She tried to refuse and to resist him, but it was of no use.
Joshua didn't calm down until the end of the last moment.
Outside, the sky was slightly lit up.
When Joshua looked at the bony Anika and then looked at the dazzling red spots on the
sheets, he had mixed feelings.
A crisp sound rang out.
Anika raised her hand and slapped his handsome face hard.
The slap shattered all illusions she had about love.
Anika felt that her eardrums were bulging. She couldn't hear what Joshua was saying
interrupted him directly.
"Piss off!"

All he could think about was last night.
After sitting in the cathe called Payton and said Find out the men Anika knows."
Payton was a bit stunned.
He thought After they get married Anika sees no one but Mr.Conan.How can she possil
know any other men?"
Anka was in the hotel.
Joshua had already gone.
She washed herself repeatedly.
They didn't have sex till they were about to get a divorce.
How ridiculous and sad it was.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Trent brought breakfast. He did not notice how strange Anika
*I left so hastily last night that I forgot to tell you that my family happened to have a separate property available.
You may stay there.
"It's not safe for a girl to stay in a hotel alone
Anika shook her head and refused him.
Returning the favor was the toughest thing on Earth. She didn't want to be in anyone's debt.
Trent knew she would refuse him. "It's vacant anyway. Go ahead and live there. It's not like I won't charge you."
'But I can only stay for a month at most."
"It's fine.It'll be better than leaving it empty."

Trent didn't know why she said she could only stay for a month He thought it

live there for a long time.
He drove Anika there
She had one suitcase and nothing else.
They got inside the car.
They talked about their childhood, and then he volunteered to tell her what he had done. over the years
Trent left the country after high school. After he became an adult, he worked and studied while abroad. Then he founded his company at 20, and now, he was a rich boss. Anika listened to his rich experiences and then thought about herself.
After graduation, she married Joshua and became a housewife.
She looked at Trent in admiration."You are superb.
"You can be superb as well.I paid attention to your whereabouts after you left the village.I saw you on TV,and you won first prize in the youth piano competition...
And singing.right? You know what? You were my idol back then..."
There was something Trent didn't tell Anika.
When he studied abroad alone, life was not satisfying at all at first. He learned a lot of bad things and gave up on himself.
Then he saw Anika in the newspapers back home. Those who naturally struggled with hearing could hardly pursue their dreams of music.
