Chapter 3
My heart skipped a beat, and in my panic, I held Anna tighter, afraid of being discovered.
But soon, I realized my worry was completely unnecessary.
The dazzling fireworks only deepened the intimacy between Mason and Harper. He was fully immersed in their passion, completely oblivious to the cries of his daughter, whom he usually cherished like
a treasure.
Given that, I saw no reason to continue playing along with him.
I tightened my hold on the still–sobbing Anna, swallowing the bitterness that welled up inside me.
With a resolute turn, I quickly sent a message to my manager: [Stop the film. I’m quitting the industry.]

Back at the hotel, Anna was already drowsy, her eyes half–closed.
After settling her down, I began packing up our things.
Less than half an hour later, the door was hurriedly pushed open.
Mason, his clothes disheveled, stormed in.
“Charlotte…”
He looked at me, his eyes showing unmasked panic.

At that moment, the elevator bell rang from nearby.
The sound of rolling luggage wheels echoed.
Mason lifted his gaze, and upon seeing Harper kneeling at my feet, the smile on his face completely froze.

“Charlotte!”
He hurried to my side, not sparing even a glance for Harper.
His voice, filled with panic I had never heard before, broke through the air. “What nonsense did she say to you?”
I smiled, but there was no smile in my eyes. “She said… she’s pregnant with your child.”

When he looked down at Harper, there was a genuine, unmistakable anger in his gaze.
“Get out, now!”
Harper trembled at his shout, her eyes flashing with a mix of unwillingness and defiance. But in the end, she still stood up and left.
I watched her retreating figure, feeling nothing but ridicule.
Mason spoke of loving me, yet his actions showed an apparent

Upon hearing that, he could only force out a wry smile and softly plead, “Charlotte, this is a misunderstanding. Wait for me to come home and explain.
“Please, wait for me!”
I ignored him completely.
After all, I had no interest in waiting for his explanation
anymore.
I couldn’t be bothered to watch him wrack his brain for more disgusting excuses in front of me.
Since he was so determined to be with Harper, I might as well help this couple.
After confirming Anna’s condition with the doctor once again, I immediately changed the flight from a week later to tomorrow.
At half past three in the morning, the IV infusion ended.
I took Anna back to the villa and placed the divorce papers and wedding ring I had prepared earlier on the coffee table.
Without packing a single thing, I headed straight for the airport.
Everything here reeked of Mason’s disgusting presence. It wasn’t worth bringing it halfway across the world.
The sunrise coincided perfectly with the plane’s boarding.
