Dawn said, “Why did you take so long? I’m already hungry.”
“What do you want to cat?”

He naturally took her hand. “There’s a really good yerade food ce nearby. Want to try it?”
Dawn’s eyes lit up. “Sure!”
She had always liked spicy food like yerade food. After living overseas for three years, her taste had gotten milder.
Buttely, maybe because of the pregnancy, she had started craving strong vors again–sour, sweet, bitter, spicy. Anything with a bold taste was fine. She had no interest at all in in food
anymore.
On the way to the restaurant, she took off her shoes and sat cross–legged in the seat, looking rxed and careferee.
Her phone was out of battery, so she grabbed Ethan’s phone to y with instead.
This <i>man</i><i>… </i>
His <i>phone </i><i>was </i><i>just </i><i>like </i><i>him</i><i>. </i><i>Honestly</i><i>, </i><i>not </i><i>very </i><i>interesting</i>.
She opened his WhatsApp, and her finger suddenly stopped. Smiling, she turned her head and asked, “There’s nothing on your phone I shouldn’t see, right? If there is, I won’t look.”
“So polite?”
Ethan stayed calm and smiled at her. “Then don’t look.”
Dawn was speechless.
But she looked into his phone anyway.
But there really wasn’t much to see.
When she opened WhatsApp, the top–pinned chat was hers.
Below that were several work group chats, and then a group chat with his close friends.
The chat was very active. And the person they were talking about just happened to be the man

sitting right next to her.
Alex wrote, “Ethan hasn’t said a wordtely. Is he dead or what?”
Alice replied, “You dare talk like that? Aren’t you afraid he’ll beat you up?”

Alex wrote, “Tch, what do I have to be afraid of? Believe it or not, he won’t even <i>see </i>this
message.”
It wasn’t that he couldn’t see it. He just wouldn’t look at it at all.
Alice sent an eye–roll emoji.
Brogan jumped in at the right time. “It’s been a while since we got together. When is everyone free?
Alex replied, “Yeah. And Ethan is getting married again. We should bring some good wine and celebrate for him.”
Dawn was speechless.
She didn’t read any further.
She closed WhatsApp and swiped back a few screens. Then she saw a social media app<i>–</i><i>X</i>. <i>Ethan </i><i>even </i><i>used </i><i>X</i><i>? </i>
She was just about to open it when the phone rang.
No surprise. It was Alex.
Dawn answered the call and held the phone up to Ethan’s ear.
He nced at her. “Hello.”
<i>“</i>Ethan, are you free tonight? Let’s hang out. Bring your second bride with you.”
The volume was high. Dawn heard everything clearly. She couldn’t take it anymore and pulled the phone back. “What do you mean, second bride?”
“Oh, haha.” Alexughed awkwardly.
“So you’re together right now.”
Dawn said, “Sorry to disappoint you. We’ve been together a lottely.”

Alex said quickly. “That’s even better. Let’s have dinner together tonight, Dawn. We haven’t seen each other in a long time. I really miss you.”
Dawn replied calmly, “Whether you miss me or not doesn’t matter. Is the wedding gift ready?”
Wedding gift?
Did that really need <i>to </i><i>be </i>prepared <i>ahead </i><i>of </i><i>time</i><i>? </i>
Alex froze for just a second. Then Dawn, on the other end, added, “I heard Ethan say you’re nning to give 10 million dors, so I’ll thank you in advance, Alex.”
Alex was confused.
<i>When </i>did <i>I </i>ever say <i>that</i><i>? </i><i>Why </i>didn’t I <i>know</i>?
They joked around for a bit more before hanging up. Dawn then turned to Ethan and asked, “I said that, he won’t be mad, right?”
Ethan smiled at her with clear affection. “No.”
“Then will he really give 10 million?” she asked.
Ethan said, “If you want him to, he will.”
“Wow.”
<i>That </i><i>easy</i><i>? </i>
Then they absolutely had to go to dinner tonight.
After lunch, Dawn went back to her office. Not long after she sat down, Mason walked in and said, “Ms. Porter, Ms. Swanson has already returned to the country. She’s staying at the hotel next door. Should I have here over to meet you now?”
Dawn nced at her afternoon schedule. “I’ll go see her.”
Seeing her stand up, Mason hesitated and said, “Ms. Swanson isn’t in very good shape right now. Maybe…”
Dawn said calmly, “As long as she’s seeing me, she won’t be in a good state.”
The world had a cruel way of paying people back.
She got proof of Lucas’s illegal actions from Cindy. But because of that, Cindy’s family had

been sent to prison.

No matter how much Cindy once liked her, the knot in her heart could never be undone.
Hating Dawn was only natural.
Or maybe she hated herself even more.
When Dawn reached the first floor of the hotel, she stopped to buy a bouquet of flowers and took it upstairs with her.
Two bodyguards were standing at the door. She frowned slightly and turned to look at Mason. “What’s this about?”
He said, “Ms. Swanson’s emotions are pretty unstable. If no one watched her, she probably wouldn’t stay put.”
Dawn took a slow breath and knocked on the door.
There was no response from inside.
One of the bodyguards took out a key card and swiped it. Dawn spoke softly, “Stand farther away. Don’t scare her.”
The moment the door was pushed open, a vase came flying out and smashed hard onto the floor. The girl’s voice was filled with anger. “Get out! I told you to stay away! Are you deaf?”
Dawn remained silent.
She stepped around the broken ss and went inside.
The room waspletely quiet. From the voice earlier, Cindy was probably in the bedroom.
“Cindy.”
Cindy didn’t answer.
There was no response.
The silence felt heavy, like both sides were holding their breath, stuck in the same dead stillness.
