Seeing the car drive out of the city center against my will, I was both anxious and angry, desperately calling Lucas.

But there was no response.
“I’ll send Lucas a bombshell, in exchange for spending a night with his fiancée. Seems fair, doesn’t it?”
Noah’s words hid a hint of provocation.
The air was quiet, and I tried hard to hide my breathing and heartbeat.
Noah’s fingers tapped the center console irregularly.
He pondered for a long time before sighing.
“Ava, don’t you find it meaningless to fight other women everywhere for that rotten cucumber? Don’t you feel frustrated?”
“Actually, you could have other choices…”
I sensed Noah’s anger, as well as a hint of trying to win me over.
All men in the world love to play the game of chasing their wife to the crematorium.
But I was unmoved: “Lucas is rich, handsome, it’s normal for girls to like him, it proves I have good taste.”
Noah gripped the steering wheel tightly: “Stop making excuses, he doesn’t reject those women because he simply doesn’t love you.”

Noah gripped the steering wheel tightly: “Stop making excuses, he doesn’t reject those women because he simply doesn’t love you.”
I had long accepted the fact that Lucas didn’t love me.
But did that prevent me from living a good life?
Noah seemed eager to prove something to me: “These years, many women have thrown themselves at me too, but I would only slap them away, and if they didn’t leave, I’d kick them out.”
“In my heart, none of them compare to you.”
I thought, Noah’s “them” probably didn’t include Zoe.
I calmly replied: “Is that so? What Mr. Noah does is your business. I only know that Lucas provides me with good food and care, protects me and my mother, gives me status and dignity, he’s given me several cars and houses, and I get two million in pocket money every month…
The ample material comforts gave me a sense of security far stronger than any romantic relationship.
“Moreover, Lucas and I have a great relationship, we never fight. If I casually mention wanting to eat beef dumplings from a certain street, Lucas would spend two hours buying them for me, and casually throw in a Chopard necklace. Where else could I get such princess treatment?”
I was telling the truth, Lucas gave me plenty of emotional value.
He could easily make me feel loved.
If only I hadn’t discovered that his love was in broadcast mode.
Beside me was Noah’s increasingly heavy breathing.
“Ava, you weren’t like this before. You were ambitious, had excellent grades, never relied on men…”
I wanted to laugh.
Fortunately blessed with beauty and resources, not making the most use of them would be a waste.
“For someone of my background, marrying into the Lucas family is marrying up. Being able to live comfortably for the rest of my life, I’m very
content.”
“This is the best life I can fight for myself.”
Noah was silent for a long time before carefully opening his mouth: “What if I said, the current me could give you that too?”
Compared to when I first left him, Noah’s wealth had increased a thousandfold.
He could casually buy any woman he liked.
Except for me.
I wasn’t with him for money back then either.
