"Tristan Sinir, you—" Jack was simply shocked by this plot twist.

How could this man never submit his divorce papers?

"You know Jack? She was gone when I realized I was starting to fall in love with her. She disappeared from my life, and I didn’t have a chance to apologize to her and express my real feelings."

Tristan took another deep breath before he continued his word again.

"And now, when she returns, I want to chase her again. I want—" his voice faded when he saw Jack raise his hand to stop him.

"Tristan Sinir, why are you telling me this? If you love Be, you should tell her, not me!"

Jack felt strange listening to Tristan’s confession.

"If you don’t tell her about your feelings, Be will never know because she can’t read your mind." He red at this foolish man.

Tristan, "...."

"Man, I told her many times. But, she rejects me all the time—"

Jack chuckled in delight, hearing Tristan’s sentence.

"You deserved it, Tristan Sinir. She loves you so much, but you ignore her feelings. Did you know she left everything only to marry you?" Jack purposely says this to make Tristan suffer and me himself even more.

Remembering Be’s miserable past still made Jack angry with this fool, Tristan Sinir.

Be decided to stop her involvement in the RDF Group and her career only to return to her country and choose to be a housewife, Tristan Sinir’s wife. Unfortunately, her choice was so sad because the man she called her husband never loved her.

...

Tristan knew he had been a jerk to Be in the past. He hated himself for it, but it confused him when he listened to Jack’s words.

He never asked to marry Be, but his grandpa insisted he do so. He couldn’t refuse his grandpa and ept the arrangement at that time.

When they were finally married, he knew little about her. What he knew about her was that she was beautiful and had just returned from studying in a foreign country.

"You said she left everything because of me? Can you exin to me?" Tristan asked, curious to know.

"Be is the smart one among us and has a brilliant career in ourpany. But that woman..." Jack nced at Be briefly before turning to meet Tristan’s gaze again.

Tristan frowned profoundly and waited for Jack to continue his words.

"...Be is different from any woman I have ever met. She has a simple mindset. Her dream is not to be a rich woman or a powerful woman in business but a housewife."

Tristan was shocked to hear that.

"Yes... Yes... I could understand your shock, Tristan." He chuckled.

"I also had the same expression and feeling when Be said that to me. That time, I thought she was just spouting nonsense, but after she returned to Astington, she never came back to thepany again. And a few monthster, I found out she epted the arranged marriage from her grandpa...to marry you."

Jack shifted his gaze from Tristan to the moon. His mind drifted back to those moments.

After a few moments, Jack smiled before continuing his words again, "Be is the only friend of mine who has a simple dream like that, to be a housewife and devote her life to you. He chose you, Tristan Sinir..."

Tristan staggered as he felt his knees give out and almost fell to the ground. He grabbed the iron railing to support himself.

Knowing how Be sacrificed her career just to be his wife, he felt like a thousand more nails were now piercing his heart. He couldn’t stop ming himself for his stupidity, not caring about her feelings.

Tristan couldn’t say a word because, right now, his mind was too busy scolding himself.

After a long pause, Jack turned to face Tristan.

"You know what, Tristan? I already punched your face if you are not Little Dax’s father. You are so damn jerk!!" He said in a casual tone, but it felt like lightning struck Tristan’s head.

Tristan couldn’t refute Jack’s words; he epted it. He is indeed the most asshole and stupidest human being who has ever graced the earth.

"Tristan, you said you want Be to return to you?"

"Yes!" Tristan answers him without hesitation.

"If you want her back because you love her, I won’t stop you. But—" Jack trailed off, staring intently into Tristan’s eyes.

Jack’s terrifying gaze seemed sharp enough to make a hole in Tristan’s brain. He silently gulped, waiting for Jack to finish his fierce words.

"I will send you straight to meet your ancestor if you n to hurt her again, Tristan Sinir!"

Tristan clenched his fists tightly before saying,

"Jack, you won’t have a chance to do that! And thank you for looking after my wife for the past few years..." Tristan shed a sincere smile at Jack before he left him and returned to the VIP room.

Meanwhile, in certain private vis,

Laura Kiels fell to the floor, unable to support her weight, when Andreas’ hand hit her cheek so hard, throwing her onto the floor with her buttocks, kissing the cold marble.

She cries in shock, "Why? Why did you p me, Andreas?" her voice trembles as she res at him, furious.

This was the first time this man hadid a finger on her; she hated him!

Andreas stared back at Laura’s angry gaze. He didn’t rush to speak but stepped forward and leaned closer to her. He grabbed her ck hair tightly to make her look up to meet his gaze.

"Y-You... Why did you hit me? Why?" Laura roared as she pushed away Andreas’ hand. She started to feel her scalp hurt, but she didn’t have sess; Andreas’ grip tightened, pulling her even more.

Andreas moved closer to her face until they were only a few inches apart.

His face was red like a me, but his eyes were cold as ice, making Laura tremble and confused by the man before her.

She felt like she didn’t know him anymore...
