“I’m going, I’m going.”

Throughout the entire award ceremony, Zaiden Santos had not been at ease, his gaze constantly resting on Ann Nolan’s face, with a disdainful coldness at the corner of his mouth, the word he repeated the most was “ugly”.

Zaiden Santos’s friends also didn’t dare provoke him; they knew he had a bad temper.

At the end of the award ceremony, there was a photo session.

Zaiden Santos went up on stage to receive his award and reluctantly shook hands with Ann Nolan.

However, Mr. Santos had seen the world and, even if he was dissatisfied inside, he would absolutely not show it in such a setting.

During the handshake, he gave Ann Nolan a slight smile.

Zaiden Santos was born handsome and refined, and when he smiled, his charm and elegance as a man were all the more apparent.

And since he was quite a gentleman, he saw that Ann Nolan watched him intently for several minutes.

He had felt the attention of many girls before; he could distinguish that kind of gaze.

It meant that Ann Nolan remembered him.

Because she really had looked at him for a long time.

Throughout the process, he maintained a smile and a gentle demeanor, with a proper etiquette on his face, and his every move was very gentlemanly.

Just that, during the group photo, Zaiden Santos intentionally stood at the back, not next to Ann Nolan.

It was only after the entire award ceremony had ended that he took his certificate and trophy and left.

He did not look back, likewise, that someone, Ann Nolan, did not speak to him again.

He had thought that it was just this once and there would be no further intersection.

Little did he know, this was only the beginning of a nightmare!

He didn’t know where he had offended her, but afterwards, every time they competed in the same contest, she would always surpass him to take first place.

Everyone in the school knew, the Mr. Santos who had always taken first suddenly had a competitor.

And, Mr. Santos was always outdone by the competitor, each time only managing to take second place.

He was outshone in speech competitions, in oral contests, even playing a game of billiards…

First place was always that quiet, graceful junior–Ann Nolan.

Ann Nolan didn’t pay much mind to these things; her favorite activity daily was sitting in the library to read books and surf the net.

Zaiden Santos still had the same demeanor, although he remained the darling of the schoolgirls, the pride of the heavens, he felt very uncomfortable inside.

Before this, he had never suffered any setbacks.

He was from Landon, with a good family background and high academic achievements.

Who was this Ann Nolan? A provincial girl, rustic and wooden, only good at studying, stiff and dull, unromantic.

In his eyes, this was Ann Nolan.

Inside the car, Zaiden Santos took a hard drag of his cigarette.

That was the first time he saw her.

Nine years had passed.

Suddenly, Zaiden Santos felt a trance-like state, realizing that in another year, they would have known each other for ten years.

It had been such a long time.

Zaiden Santos turned his head, looking at Ann Nolan sitting on the chair.

In the darkness, her face had no expression, lifeless, idly not knowing where to look.

In nine years, she had long since grown from that immature, inexperienced young girl into a mature, sexy woman.

They had also gone from having little to do with each other to being a married couple living under one roof.

“I don’t accept your apology,” Zaiden Santos said indifferently, “there’s nothing to be sorry for.”

Just then, Zaiden Santos’s phone rang.

The abrupt vibration was exceptionally clear in the quiet space!

Displayed on the screen were three characters “Harper Glorian”.

Zaiden Santos didn’t answer, he hung up and turned off his phone.

“My stance is the same, don’t even think about divorce, and I won’t hold your affair with Evan Guerrero against you anymore. From now on, live life well,” Zaiden Santos said calmly.
