Chapter 132 As if he was the only one left in the world
Although it was a community, in order to allow the residents to play and set off fireworks, the community had taken perfect security measures a few days ago. Therefore, the people were happily setting off fireworks.
Fireworks of various shapes spread out in the air, illuminating the night sky and illuminating every face that greeted the New Year with joy.
“Nice~”
Mae couldn’t help but sigh.
That’s fine.
She remembered the first New Year after marrying Mark Smith. At that time, she turned down an endorsement for a brand so she could decorate the house ahead of time. She even bought fireworks in advance, solely to spend a New Year’s Eve with Mark.
Unfortunately, before that day, she was pushed into the sea by Jennifer. There she saw Mark rushing over and desperately trying to save not her but Jennifer.
In her previous life, she had no chance to celebrate the New Year with Mark. As for this life…
There’s no need.
“Mommy, Mommy.”
Little Jane gently pulled the hem of her mother’s clothes and looked up to her. The rabbit light above her head illuminated her round little face, which was extremely cute.
“Mommy, come over and play with us the game of the big bad wolf catching the little white rabbit?”
Mae squatted down and gently tugged at the bunny ears on the little girl’s head. “Do you want Mommy to be the big bad wolf?”
“No, Mommy is the mother rabbit, and Daddy is going to be the grandma wolf!”
Little Jane pulled her mother over and said, “Mommy wants to be a mother rabbit and protect the little rabbit.”
Mae saw her little girl having such a good time, and did not want to disappoint her, so she nodded and agreed, “Alright, Mommy is the mother rabbit. Thus, I have to protect my little bunnies.”
“Okay~Okay~”
A group of children clapped their hands happily. Some other parents also participated. The scene was lively and warm.
Only Stan looked at little Jane with a resentful expression and said, “Why am I the Grandma Wolf? How does I look like a Grandma Wolf?”
Everyone just laughed opting to not listen to his protest.
Mae smiled and took off the scarf from his neck. He stood up on tiptoe and wrapped it around Moore’s head. “Look, it’s like this.”
It drew laughter from the audience.
Stan smiled bitterly and raised his hand to slap Mae’s head before suddenly shouting, “The big bad wolf is coming~~*
In the blink of an eye, the children hid and fled from each other. The laughter and laughter were especially beautiful under the gorgeous fireworks.
Mark was standing from afar, watching the scene quietly.
Seeing Mae Lee standing side by side with the child’s father and laughing, watching how she took off her scarf and wrapped it around the man’s head.
They were surrounded by a group of playful and cute children. Their little princess was delicate and cute. The family of three was close and happy.
Mark’s eyes turned red.
At this moment, it was as if he was the only one left in the world, alone and alone.
The pain in her heart was getting worse and worse, and in the blink of an eye, he was filled with bitterness and jealousy.
The sour smell of jealousy was like a flood of beasts.
Finally, he couldn’t hold it in, he took out his phone and dialed.
Mae was having fun with her daughter when the phone in her pocket suddenly rang. She took out her phone and looked at it. After a moment of hesitation, she picked it up. “Mr. Smith?”
“Mae Lee.”
Mark’s hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, with a suspicious dullness and depression.
Even though Mae couldn’t see the face of the person she’s talking to, she could tell that he’s feeling unwell, as if he was trying his best to restrain himself from something.
Could it be that something was wrong with Jennifer’s child?
Mae’s initially thought this possibility. Otherwise, on this big night of family reunion, why would Mark
call her at this time?
Just as she was about to ask, he heard Mark’s hoarse voice again, “Happy New Year.”
This time, Mae was shocked. She did not expect that he would care to call just to convey his New
Year’s wishes to her. After all, the Mark he knew was not someone who would do such a
meaningless thing.
After she was stunned for half a second, she thanked him, “I wish you a Happy New Year too.”
After she finished speaking, she looked in the direction of Little Jane and said to Mark,
“Mr. Smith, if it’s alright, I’ll hang up first-”
“Mae Lee.”
Before she hung up, Mark suddenly stopped her, his hoarse tone sounded a little urgent. It was as if he knew that if he slowed down by half a step, he would never have the chance to speak to Mae
again.
“Anything else?”
Run Away From My Heartless Ex–husband
Perhaps because of the New Year’s celebration, Mae was in a good mood today, so that her attitude towards Mark did not appear to be that cold.
Mark held the phone. Before he knew it, his palms were already wet with cold sweat, and the strength of holding the phone was also increasing.
“Is it still possible for us?”
With almost all of his courage, he asked. This time his heartbeat escalated rapidly.
His eyes were fixated on Mae’s face from the distance. The darkness of the night covered half of Mae’s face, making it impossible for him to see the emotions on her face.
But even so, Mark expected an honest rejection from her.
His heart sank slowly, but he was humble and stubborn to wait for this expected answer.
He probably never thought that a time would come where he would be patient and stubborn in his entire life.
He was like a voyeur who could not see the light, badly and carefully staring at the woman he once thought would never leave him.
At this moment, he humbles himself as he desperately waits for an impossible opportunity.
“CEO Smith may have been referring to…?”
Mae’s voice was so calm that it did not fluctuate at all. She was very rational that she almost sounded heartless. However, Mark also acted the same.
“If I want to remarry, is it possible for us?”
Mark’s thin lips were tightly pursed. His perfectly contoured jawline was now tightly tensed.
“Is Mr. Smith trying to go back on your word?”
Mae began to speak a bit louder. Even, Mark could hint the anger that came out of her from a
distance.
“You don’t think I want to kick down the ladder after I save Jennifer’s child, right?”
It was obvious that Mae’s tone had become colder.
Facing Mae’s ‘malicious speculation‘, there was a hint of sadness in Mark’s eyes.
It turned out that in her eyes, he was already despicable to this extent.
“That’s not what I meant.”
Mark explained in a hoarse voice, but Mae did not want to listen any more.
“No matter what Mr. Smith meant, I already told you that we have nothing to do with each other anymore. You have your family and your life, so do I. Since I promised you that I will help Jennifer keep her child, I won’t break that promise. Apart from that, I hope there won’t be any other contact
between us.”
