As soon as the door to the dressing room closed, Peter's face turned gloomy, setting the lunchbox aside.
“Didn’t I tell you not to come looking for me on set?”
Seeing Peter accepting the lunchbox, Antonia's heart fluttered.
Peter hadn’t eaten her cooking for several years, only making an appearance on their daughter's birthday each year.
She felt wronged, even wanting to confront him. Why did he never let anyone know about his wife? Why didn't he ever take her to any social gatherings? And why did he cheat and have a child with Daisy, that wretched woman?
But Maja's voice in her earbuds brought her back to reality, and she quickly responded.
“I didn't want to come, honey. You know I always listen to you. But our daughter insisted that I hand it to you personally. It’s her first words to me today, and I couldn’t say no.”
Peter frowned. He knew Antonia’s temper, and had assumed she brought the lunchbox intentionally to cause a scene, to announce to everyone that they were husband and wife.
He didn't expect it was just to deliver lunch their daughter made.
Antonia took out her phone, her eyes slightly teary.
“Our daughter asked me to record you eating. Don't worry, I won't disturb you. I'll record this for her and then I'll leave.”
It was not long ago that Antonia discovered that Daisy’s son was Peter’s. So Peter assumed she was still in the dark.
Peter's excuse had always been that he was busy with work, traveling with his artists, and simply had no time to spare.
Antonia fully believed him until one night when their daughter fell ill. As she was taking her to the hospital, she saw Peter, passionately kissing Daisy at the hospital entrance. Daisy had been injured on set that day, and it was hot news, so it was clear Peter was there comforting her.
Antonia felt helpless in front of Peter, not daring to confront him. But that night, she beat up their autistic daughter to vent her frustration.
It was all this man's fault! He caused her to lose her job, to give birth to a daughter with autism!
Then she found out about Daisy’s son.
Daisy had disappeared for a year and returned with a child. Everyone was guessing whose child it was, and it turned out to be Peter’s!
Antonia nearly broke down. Then she was approached by Linda and her group, which was just the opportunity she needed to deal with Peter.
Back to the present, she had taken out her phone and appeared to be ready to shoot the video.
Thinking of their autistic daughter, Peter opened the lunchbox.
“Don't call me 'honey' in front of others. It could affect my career.”
Hate flashed in Antonia's eyes, but she followed Maja's instructions and responded.
“I understand. I probably won’t come again.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
