“You guys continue. I’ll go back tint, Rowanted tvan, beliling his anger in. He then dragged me away. 

notionless, hangared at me. He had probably figured our my motive. 

Bewan dragged me as we walked towaldn’t keep up with his steps and almost tripped. 

“Are you out of your mind, Bowan? Could you at least let me get changed in the washroom?” Iscolded him angrily. 

He fully membered why I had let Ivan buy the pads Scowling, he brought me to the washroom. “co and change, quick!” 

Trotated my wrist. He was undeniably violent, almost bruising me with his grip. 

Ashley had about the same weight as me. Could she bear him? 

1couldn’t help but imagine Rowan and Ashley in bed. Rowan must’ve forced himself on her at first. After Ashley eventually fell for him, their lovemaking then 

became intiinate. 

1 must’ve been crazy to think of these inappropriate scenes, swiftly changing my clothes, I got rid of those obscene thoughts and left the washroom. 

Rowan glanced at me. “Let’s go.” He seemed to be less angry. 

After texting the girls‘ group chat, theaded back with Rowan. I wanted to see what else he would tell me. 

Yer, he was silent like a statue throughout our journey. 

When we got home, Rowan entered the study alone. I went to take a bath and prepared to call it a day. 

Just after finished drving my hair, Rowan came in. Fouldn’t tell what kind of gaze he held, but it upset me. 

avory Sadler, let’s talk,” he calmly said. I nodded. 

After ten minutes, I concluded what Rowan meant. 

Besides not getting in the way of each other, there was an additional requirement, I couldn’t mess around with his close Inends. As discussed previously, I couldn’t post on Instagramer let our parents know. En total, there were thure rules to follow. 

“Rowan, why don’t you just divorce me?” 1 asked miserably 

“We don’t have a reason to divorce,” he said before leaving 

I had a feeling that his words were related to Ashley. 

He probably wanted to make promises to me so that he could pursue Ashley undisturbed. He wouldn’t expect himself to be so madly in love in the future. 

From that day on Rowan never 

wan never returned to Windwill Estate for over half a month. It was as if he just disappeared. 

Tiesumed the widowed life I once had. But this time, Thad a few more maids with me. 

one aftemoon, I overheard Ella making a phone call “Both of you arends anymore. If there are any problems, face them like adults. There’s no use quarteling or giving each other the silent treatment.” She was hiding under the staircase, speaking quietly.. 

1 stood at the stairway, focusing on her words. 

Benjamin is a good man who treats you well too. Your dad and are at ease when you two are together. No matter what happens, communicate properly. Got it?” It seems that Ella was rather satisfied with Benjamin 

Did Ashley and Benjamin quanel? Rowan must’ve put in a lot of effort while he was gone. Or else, how would be make such a loving couple get into 

Into a light? 

I didn’t want to meddle anymore. I’d just do nothing until Rowan filed for divorce. When the time came, all I had to do was happily sign the papers. 

With these thoughts in mind, I turned to head upstairs. 

“Mas. Payne, can I take half a day off?” Ella stopped me and sheepishly said, “Something happened at home. I’ll have to go back and deal with it. You can deduct my 

Thad no choice but to stop in my tracks. Turning around, I gazed concemingly at Ella from high above. “What happened, Ella? I’ll give you a lift. I was planning to headout too 

“That’s too much trouble, Mrs. Payne. You don’t have to do that, I’ll just take a taxi…” Ella was stunned 

“It’s hard to take a taxinear Windwill Estate. It’s alright give me ten minutes. I’ll get changed and come down,” teplied softly. 

Afterten minutes, I left Windwill Estate with Ella 1 pretended to ask her for her house address, then headed for our destination. 

With my subtle probing throughout the joumey, Ella told me a lot about Ashley and Benjamin. Tel, she still didn’t know why they fought this time, even though she was Ashley’s mother. There must have been some unspeakable reasone 

When we almost reached the neighborhood, I saw Benjamin sitting near the roadside flower bed. He looked forlom 

“Mrs. Pay, I can’t thank you enough. If you don’t mind, you can come in and have coffee!” Ella said gratefully. 

“You’re welcome. Don’t you have matters to deal with? I shall not add to your troubles. Hurry up and go!” I replied with a smalle 

Ella thanked me again before pushing upstairs. I quickly headed towards where Benjamin was just now. Thank god he was still there moping 

Straightening out my clothes, I lowered the car window and greeted him. “Benjamin, what are you doing here?” 

“Ms. Sadler!” Benjamin was startled upon seeing me. 

“It’s so sunny. Get in, I’ll take you wherever you want to go!” I said decisively. 

“No, Ms. Sadler, I want to be alone.” He shook his head. He looked lethargic as it he didn’t sleep well. 

I got down and dragged him towards my car. “You don’t have to be alone under the sun. Let’s go and have a 

Benjamin didn’t refuse and took the passenger seat obediently. I had him wrapped around my finger. 

After half an hour, I brought Benjamin to Symphonica. I got ourselves a private room. 

drink” 

“Here Whatever upsets you, just sing them all away!” I exclaimed while handing a microphone to Benjamin. 

With the microphone in hand, he suddenly burst into tears. I was caught off guard since this was my first time seeing a man crying in front of me. 

“Ms. Sadler, Ash is breaking up with me. What do I do.” Benjamin was choked up 

Breaking up? I was confused. In my past life, when I knew about Ashley’s existence, Rowan had pestered ber for over a year before Benjamin backed off. But, wasn’t he backing off too early now? 

“What’s wrong? Tell me about it–maybe I can help you,” I said after calming down 

“Yesterday, when we were out for a meal, I accidentally saw a text on her phone. It was a flirty text by some guy i didn’t know. 

“I was pissed, and I argued with her. I demanded that she give me the guy’s contacts but she refused. She said that I didn’t trust her, and we should just break up…” Covering his eyes, he sounded devastated and anguished. 

I calmly asked, “What did the text say?” 

After a brief silence, he replied, “I want to see you. Can you give me a chance? 

That was the power of love–it would make even an arrogant man like Rowan say these humble words. If he had to say them to me, even casting spells wouldn’t work
