His "death" broke her heart and sent her spiraling into despair, where she drowned her sorrows in
alcohol.
Eviette often doubted it was real and found it difficult to believe Matthew had passed away so soon.
She frequently tricked herself in an effort to escape the weight of his passing.
But, one day, she was shocked to find out that he was still alive!
She dashed over from Mythpoint as soon as she found out, but she didn't get any closer than a glance.
"I'm sorry. As you know, I only follow political and financial news. I don't keep up with the entertainment
industry."
Sincerely apologizing, Matthew said, "If I knew it was you, I would have contacted you sooner."
He then looked her up and down, shook his head, and sighed, "But even if I saw you on TV, I don't
think I would recognize you. You were a tomboy back then. But now, I didn't expect you to…"
Matthew shrugged, furrowing his brows as if trying to find the right words to describe her.
"To be so beautiful?"
Eviette couldn't help but chuckle in response.
"Look at you, you can't even compliment a girl. You really haven't changed at all."
Ring!
Just then, Matthew's phone rang with a WhatsApp notification.
He picked up his phone and glanced at it.
It was a message from Veronica that said, "Monica and Ivana invited me to dinner. I won't be going
back tonight."
Because they had publicly announced their divorce, they had to keep it a secret from everyone except
for close friends.
Because they had publicly announced their divorce, they had to keep it a secret from everyone except

Veronica obviously wouldn't tell Monica and Ivana, especially since Ivana had a big mouth and could
make anything she knew public within three days.
Matthew quickly replied, "Alright. I'll be home late as well."
After he sent the message, Veronica immediately replied with an "OK" GIF and didn't ask any further.
She thought he would be working late.
"Who are you texting with? You're smiling so happily. Was that someone special?" Eviette asked when
she saw Matthew's gentle smile.
Deep down, she felt a hint of envy toward the person on the other end of the phone. Could it be
Veronica?
"No, it wasn't. It was the nanny updating me on my two kids." Matthew kept his lips sealed.
After hearing the word "kids," Eviette immediately asked, "I saw in the news that you got divorced?"
"Yeah."
"Why?"
"I suppose our values didn't align."
Matthew sighed and added, "Let's not talk about this. Tell me, how have you been all these years?"
Seeing Matthew dismiss the subject of "divorce" with just a few words, Eviette secretly smiled.
She thought to herself, Does he truly no longer have feelings for his ex-wife?
Together, they talked about the events of eight years ago as they sat next to each other.
Even though they hadn't spoken in eight years, sitting next to each other made them feel just as close
as they had then.
Later that evening, Matthew invited Eviette to dinner, and she chose One Piece Restaurant.
Veronica, on the other hand, had originally made plans with Monica and Ivana, but Ruka also invited
her for dinner, so the four of them decided to dine together.
And, coincidentally, they all chose One Piece Restaurant as well.
The four of them chatted freely on the VIP floor by the window, but the topic eventually turned to
Veronica.
Monica asked, "Why did you divorce when Mr. Kings is in love with you? What about your two kids?"
Ivana also asked, "Since he's a wealthy man, how much money did you get out of the divorce?"
Ruka commented, "How could Matthew be such a jerk? I can't believe I used to like him a lot. I must
have been blind."
Monica laughed. "Exactly. He's a real jerk!"
Ivana came up with a suspicion. "He must have cheated during the marriage. Was his fake death a lie
to deceive you while he lived with another woman?"
