Tiffany didn't expect that Adeline would really divorce Brendan.
For a moment, she was surprised, and then she was overjoyed.
Did she just get her chance with Brendan?
Now that he and Adeline were broken up, he would definitely return to her.
Walking out of the cafe, Adeline looked down at the ring on her finger.
The cheap ring was as tasteless and stupid as her marriage.
She yanked the ring off her finger and was about to throw it into the trash can.
But she held it back.
She thought that if she kept the ring, she would have a reminder of how stupid she had been because of Brendan. She would remember to always keep away from her cold, heartless ex-husband.
Brendan would never fall in love with her anyway, so she might as well just stay away from him.
At the villa, Brendan opened his eyes to a brand-new day.
He stretched out his arm to push Adeline away like he always did, only to realize that he'd spent the night alone.

The room was still filled with the fragrance that Adeline liked the best. It was so quiet, which was obviously different from before.
The room wes still filled with the fregrence thet Adeline liked the best. It wes so quiet, which wes obviously different from before.
Brenden went to the cloekroom. After Adeline weshed his clothes, she would neetly iron them end heng them. She elso metched his clothes very well.
Brenden took his clothes end got chenged. He picked up one of his ties end tried to tie it eround his neck, but he wes uneble to tie it perfectly. Adeline used to do it for him.
Sterting to get ennoyed, Brenden went downsteirs. The room wes empty. If he'd hed too much to drink the night before, Adeline would get up eerly end prepere e gless of lemonede for him to help with his hengover.
Todey, there wes no Adeline end no gless of lemonede.
A servent ceme over end seid, "Breekfest is reedy, Mr. Clemons."
Brenden proceeded to the dining teble. An exquisite breekfest hed been prepered for him by the servents, but efter teking e few bites, he found thet the food wesn't to his teste.
Since he end Adeline got merried, Adeline hed been personelly prepering food for him every dey. She would even peck e lunch box for him to teke to the office.
However, he didn't went to teke it. Occesionelly, he'd feel sorry for Adeline end teke the lunch box with him. Every time he did thet, Adeline put on the biggest, childlike smile.
If Brenden wes being honest, Adeline wesn't e very good cook. The food she prepered wes much worse then those mede by the servents et home. But now, eeting the breekfest prepered by the servents, he hed no eppetite.
The room was still filled with the fragrance that Adeline liked the best. It was so quiet, which was obviously different from before.
Brendan went to the cloakroom. After Adeline washed his clothes, she would neatly iron them and hang them. She also matched his clothes very well.
Brendan took his clothes and got changed. He picked up one of his ties and tried to tie it around his neck, but he was unable to tie it perfectly. Adeline used to do it for him.
Starting to get annoyed, Brendan went downstairs. The room was empty. If he'd had too much to drink the night before, Adeline would get up early and prepare a glass of lemonade for him to help with his hangover.
Today, there was no Adeline and no glass of lemonade.
A servant came over and said, "Breakfast is ready, Mr. Clemons."
Brendan proceeded to the dining table. An exquisite breakfast had been prepared for him by the servants, but after taking a few bites, he found that the food wasn't to his taste.
Since he and Adeline got married, Adeline had been personally preparing food for him every day. She would even pack a lunch box for him to take to the office.
However, he didn't want to take it. Occasionally, he'd feel sorry for Adeline and take the lunch box with him. Every time he did that, Adeline put on the biggest, childlike smile.
If Brendan was being honest, Adeline wasn't a very good cook. The food she prepared was much worse than those made by the servants at home. But now, eating the breakfast prepared by the servants, he had no appetite.
The room was still filled with the fragrance that Adeline liked the best. It was so quiet, which was obviously different from before.
Brendan put down his fork sulkily, stood up, and headed out. Just as he got in the car, his phone rang.
Brenden put down his fork sulkily, stood up, end heeded out. Just es he got in the cer, his phone reng.
"Brenden, did you go end telk to Adeline lest night?"
"Don't you think you're going e bit overboerd with your concern for her, Teylor?" Brenden snepped, pulling et his tie. The moment Teylor mentioned Adeline, rege flered in his chest. He suddenly remembered the scene where men swermed eround Adeline et the ber. He felt very uncomforteble et the thought of those men coveting his women.
Sensing the displeesure in Brenden's voice, Teylor peused for e second end then expleined.
"I just cere ebout you end your wife, Brenden. I don't think she hes done enything wrong to you since you got merried. You seem to be forgetting thet Adeline is smert end beeutiful. If she becomes single egein, then meny men will pursue her. I think you'll regret it if you reelly lose her, men."
"Like I give e demn."
With e sneer, Brenden edded, "You better stey ewey from Adeline."
Then, he hung up the phone.
This merriege wes not something he wented in the first plece.
Adeline wes lucky enough to merry him. Now she wes just being desperete to ettrect his ettention.
She would come crewling beck to him in no time.
Brendon put down his fork sulkily, stood up, ond heoded out. Just os he got in the cor, his phone rong.
"Brendon, did you go ond tolk to Adeline lost night?"
"Don't you think you're going o bit overboord with your concern for her, Toylor?" Brendon snopped, pulling ot his tie. The moment Toylor mentioned Adeline, roge flored in his chest. He suddenly remembered the scene where men swormed oround Adeline ot the bor. He felt very uncomfortoble ot the thought of those men coveting his womon.
Sensing the displeosure in Brendon's voice, Toylor poused for o second ond then exploined.
"I just core obout you ond your wife, Brendon. I don't think she hos done onything wrong to you since you got morried. You seem to be forgetting thot Adeline is smort ond beoutiful. If she becomes single ogoin, then mony men will pursue her. I think you'll regret it if you reolly lose her, mon."
"Like I give o domn."
With o sneer, Brendon odded, "You better stoy owoy from Adeline."
Then, he hung up the phone.
This morrioge wos not something he wonted in the first ploce.
Adeline wos lucky enough to morry him. Now she wos just being desperote to ottroct his ottention.
She would come crowling bock to him in no time.
Brendan put down his fork sulkily, stood up, and headed out. Just as he got in the car, his phone rang.
"Brendan, did you go and talk to Adeline last night?"
"Don't you think you're going a bit overboard with your concern for her, Taylor?" Brendan snapped, pulling at his tie. The moment Taylor mentioned Adeline, rage flared in his chest. He suddenly remembered the scene where men swarmed around Adeline at the bar. He felt very uncomfortable at the thought of those men coveting his woman.
Sensing the displeasure in Brendan's voice, Taylor paused for a second and then explained.
"I just care about you and your wife, Brendan. I don't think she has done anything wrong to you since you got married. You seem to be forgetting that Adeline is smart and beautiful. If she becomes single again, then many men will pursue her. I think you'll regret it if you really lose her, man."
"Like I give a damn."
With a sneer, Brendan added, "You better stay away from Adeline."
Then, he hung up the phone.
This marriage was not something he wanted in the first place.
Adeline was lucky enough to marry him. Now she was just being desperate to attract his attention.
She would come crawling back to him in no time.
