6
A day had passed, but Anika hadn't called or texted Joshua to apologize. All messages he'd received were
work related.
"Td like to see how long you can keep it this way!"
Joshua threw his phone aside,got up, and walked to the kitchen.
The moment he opened the refrigerator,he froze.
Because in the fridge,along with some food, there were various medicinal herbs piled up.
Joshua randomly picked up a package.
It read, "Five times a day,used to treat infertility."
Infertility....
Joshua sniffed at the herbs and found their smell unpleasant.
He finally knew how Anika got that smell earlier.
Joshua sneered inwardly. They'd never had sex. No matter how much medicine she took, she wouldn't get
pregnant!
Then, he threw the herbs back into the fridge.
Joshua felt relieved, thinking he'd found the reason for Anika's tantrum.
He returned to the master bedroom and went to bed.
Now that Anika wasn't home, he could come home anytime without worrying about running into her
That night, Joshua had a good sleep.
He had plans to go golfing with his friend, Valentin,today.
Therefore, Joshua changed into his sportswear in the dressing room early in the morning.
After that he walked to the living room. Out of habit, he started to tell Anika that he wouldn't be coming home today.
"Today.."
Hardly did the first word leave his lips when it occurred to him that he didn't have to tell her anymore from Chapter 6
now on.
go!
Joshua arrived at the golf course in a good mood.
His handsome and stern face looked a little softer against his white sportswear.
Standing straight on the golf course he looked like a movie star.
Joshua swing the golf club, and the ball went straight into the hole.
Valentin praised.
"Joshua your performance is excellent today!is there some good news that you haven't shared with me?" After yesterday, all of their friends knew that Anika wanted a divorce
Valentin surely had heard of it, too.
He just wanted to hear Joshua say it so that he could ask Violet, who had been waiting outside, to come
Taking a sip of water, Joshua indifferently replied.
Nothing special Anika and I are getting a divorce."
Valentin still felt somewhat surprised when it was confirmed that the rumor was true.
As Joshua's friend, he knew Anika very well. That woman was a hypothetical bitch who wouldn't let Joshua
If a divorce was on the table,the two would have done it a long time ago instead of dragging it along for
three years.
'Did she agree?"Valentin asked.
Joshua replied, with no usual glint in his eyes, "It was her idea."
Valentin sneered, "She's just playing hard to get."
He added, "I've seen many women like her"
He changed the subject,grinning, Joshua,I have a surprise for you today."
Joshua looked puzzled.

Valentin texted Violet.
The next moment, Joshua saw Violet waving at him playfully from not far away. She was dressed in
tom Here Violet ever to the
Valentin said "I give you two some privacy don't want to be the third wheet"
With that Valentin left
Violet suggested that the and Joshus go for a walk
Near the golf course was the college they both attended
Violet understood men very well. Instead of bringing up Anika, she talked about their past
Joshua,do you remember this path?
"We used to walk here a lot when we were dating
"Back then, you held my hand and said you wanted to keep doing that forever."
Violet stopped in her tracks and reached out her hand
"Joshua,can we still work together holding hands?"
When she touched Joshua's hand, he instinctively pulled away.
Violet was stupefied.
Joshua said,remaining calm, "I don't remember anything from the past
Studying,dating marriage, and work....
As far as Joshua was concerned, those were just things that everyone had to experience just as jobs that he had to complete
His first love was no exception!
Violet's eyes turned red, and she asked, "Are you still mad at me?
"I didn't want to leave you back then I had no choice.I loved you so much...
"Do you know how I managed to get through these years alone?
"It's all thanks to our past.I tried my best to improve myself, to become excellent so that I would deserve you when I came back."
Joshua frowned at those words.
"I'm married,said he
"I know, but she wants a divorce, "Violet replied immediately.

Pero all people were forgetful
Motet forgot that sheit broken up with Joshua hefore Anika and Joshua got engaged
Anika Anika
Anika's serene and gentle look came to Joshua's mind
He remembered how she looked at him with tears in her eyes after her father's passing asking him,"Joshua could you hug me?"
But of that time Eli had made it impossible for them to get married He took all the money Joshua had given the Carey family as well as everything that the Carey family was supposed to give Joshua. Hence, Joshua walked away from Anika without even saying a word to make her feel better.
With Anika's sorrowful face lingering in his mind, Joshua unwittingly pulled away from Violet
Violet noticed that and was about to say something
However,she saw Valentin hurrying over so she forced back her tears.
Valentin could sense the weird atmosphere, but he handed the folder in his hand to Joshua anyway.
"Joshua,take a look
Joshua opened the folder, only to find that it was a property transfer agreement.
Valentin explained, "Anika's lawyer gave me this saying that this was compensation for your three-year
marriage."
Compensation?!
Valentin thought Anika wanted Joshua to compensate her, so he rushed over in a hurry.
When Joshua read the document he found out that Anika was transferring her property to him.
Joshua stared in disbelief!
However, when he saw that the property being transferred was only worth 16 million dollars, he found it
ridiculous
Chanter &
"Does she think 16 million will make me spare the Carey family and forgive her? Joshun mocked without
holding back in front of Valentin and Violet
Valentin finally realized what was going on. He snorted, That girl has been pretending to be innocent, bot she's secretly hiding 16 million dollars. Does her brother and greedy mother know about it?
Violet heard the mockery on Anika from Joshua and Valentin, secretly gloating.
She had been worried that Joshua might have feelings for Anika, especially since they were married for three years
Now she knew that even if they were married for a lifetime, a remarkable man like Joshua would never be interested in the insipid Anika.
Anika was not even qualified to be her love rival.
In a dimly lit hotel room.
Anika slowly opened her eyes, feeling a headache, and noticing the dead silence around her.
She knew her condition had worsened.
