Chapter 7
As soon as the plane landed at Silvercrest, I received a call from Ethan Frost.
Ethan was the son of my father’s business partner, and we grew up together and had a good relationship.
Later, his family’s business failed, his father went bankrupt and committed suicide, and his mother fell seriously ill and
passed away.
He suddenly went from a rich young master to a destitute youth.
My father cherished the old feelings and secretly supported him, providing him with the opportunity to study.
Shortly after his graduation, he interviewed and got into my father’s company.
Starting from the grassroots, it has now become my father’s right-hand man.
“Gigi, I was waiting for you at the airport exit,” Ethan’s voice on the phone remained deep and pleasant.
I walked out of the aisle, pulling my suitcase, and saw him in the crowd at a glance.
Ethan stood tall, dressed in a simple white shirt and black trousers, with neatly groomed hair, only his eyes revealing a hint
of weariness.
“Ethan, long time no see,” I said with a hint of inexplicable grievance in my voice.
I looked into his eyes, but my thoughts drifted to the previous life.
Seven years ago, I married Victor and followed him to Havenport. In my previous life, when I had an accident, Ethan was being sent by my father to expand the company’s business overseas.
I never saw him again until I died.
Seeing me, he approached and took my suitcase, whispering, “Tired from the journey, huh? How long do you plan to stay
this time?”
I looked up at him and smiled, saying, “I’m not leaving.”
He was slightly stunned, but quickly regained the smile on his face and said, “Uncle and Aunt know that you are coming
back and they are very happy.’
In the previous life, it was well known that I refused to divorce Victor.
My mother was afraid that I would be treated unfairly, so she flew overnight from Silvercrest to Havenport.
She urged me to go with her, not to linger anymore.
“Gigi, come with me. There are always some things more important than you in Victor’s heart.”
“Our Gigi has always been a princess since childhood. Mom and Dad couldn’t wait to pamper you and hold you dear to
their hearts. How come you always end up being treated unfairly by him?”

“You were constantly giving and enduring grievances in this marriage, but he couldn’t see your goodness.”
“Stop being so obsessed, go back with mom, start over, okay?”
But I didn’t want to.
I loved Victor, I wouldn’t let go.
I didn’t believe this was the only way he solved this matter.
I thought as long as I kept making a fuss, he would eventually feel sorry for me.
I locked myself in the room, ignoring my mother’s attempts to persuade me.
I even deliberately angered my mother by saying that they had conspired with Victor, forcing me to divorce and forcing me
to return to Silvercrest.
At that time, my mother was so angry with me that her face turned pale. Eventually, she slowly turned around and left, staggering in her footsteps.
Not long after, I received a message from my father, telling me to go to the hospital.
He said his mother had a car accident on the way to the airport.
Overnight, the father became haggard as if his soul had been drained.
Later, the mother woke up and didn’t say anything, nor did she try to persuade me anymore.
