Chapter One :Chapter 1

"Mr. Ackre, we'll be done with each other after tonight..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Eloise Wotton planted a kiss on the man she pinned below her passionately.

"Eloise, how dare you!!!"

Sebastian Ackre responded, his teeth gritted and his handsome face twisted in anger.

This audacious woman had dared to trap him!

The next morning, as dawn was breaking, Eloise awoke.

She endured her discomfort, took out the divorce papers she had prepared from the drawer, and left them on the bedside table.

She cast a lingering look at the man still in bed.

"Sebastian, I'm setting you free. From now on, we'll go our separate ways and have no further dealings with each other!"

She had loved Sebastian for seven long years.

However, his feelings towards her were far from mutual.

From the day they married, he had shown nothing but disdain for her.

At that time, the head of the Ackre family was seriously ill and needed cleansing from bad luck.

Her stars aligned and so she was picked.

Then, her father and stepmother, who cared about money as much as their own lives, packed her up and sent her here without hesitation.

But she had been so happy then, eagerly anticipating their wedding night.

However, when Sebastian appeared, his words were filled with scorn.

"Eloise, you should know that the woman I wanted to marry is Melody Crichton, not you! She's the only one fit to be my wife. You don't deserve this!"

Eloise had thought, "One day, I'll warm his heart."

But if he hadn't loved her then, he never would.

It was only the day before yesterday, on her birthday, when Sebastian chose to accompany Melody in the hospital instead, that Eloise finally understood.

Sebastian's heart was something she could never touch, not even if she spent her entire life trying.

He belonged to another woman!

Eloise had completely given up!

......

When Sebastian awoke, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning.

His first thought upon rising was to strangle Eloise!

As the president of the Ackre Group, he was renowned for his cunning intelligence.

No one had ever outwitted him or caused him to suffer a loss.

He was invincible in the business world.

Yet, he had never anticipated that his first defeat would come at the hands of Eloise!

Filled with anger, he scanned the room for her, but she was nowhere to be found.

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a document on the bedside table.

"What's this?" He picked up the document, his brows furrowed.

The words 'Divorce Agreement' jumped out at him, causing his expression to darken.

First, she had tricked him into sex, and now she wanted a divorce...

She was full of surprises!

But Sebastian didn't believe for a second that Eloise would divorce him.

With a surge of anger, he quickly dressed and stormed downstairs.

"Did you see Eloise?" he demanded from the butler.

The butler, Remi Bretton, looked taken aback. "Sir, the Madam left before sunrise, carrying her luggage."

Sebastian was left in shock!

......

Six years later.

In the VR Medical Research Institute of Yasiata.

Eloise had just walked out of the research lab when she heard her assistant, Linda, inform her, "Dr. Wotton, Professor Gunney requests your presence in his office. He has a matter to discuss with you."

Despite having pulled an all-nighter, Eloise instantly became alert upon hearing this. "Did he mention what it is about? Did my two little brats ruin the research results again?"

Linda responded, a hint of sympathy in her eyes. "It seems likely."

Eloise was known for her efficiency and competence.

At a young age, she had already become the favored disciple of the renowned Parker Gunney and was well-respected in the medical community.

However, her mischievous children were another story.

Linda tried to comfort Eloise. "You've been locked in your lab for three days straight. Eric and Ezra were worried about your health and kept pestering Professor Gunney in his office. I think I noticed a few more strands of white hair on his head."

Eloise felt a headache coming on at Linda's words, but she couldn't help but smile.

Six years ago, after leaving the Ackre family, she moved abroad to pursue her studies, only to unexpectedly find she had become pregnant.

Despite her initial shock, she ultimately decided to keep the babies.

She had given birth to triplets—two boys and a girl.

Tragically, her daughter passed away due to oxygen deprivation, leaving her with her two sons, Eric and Ezra.

Just thinking about her incredibly intelligent sons filled Eloise with comfort.

Yet, the prospect of facing the consequences of their mischief again made her feel a bit sulky...
