Chapter 0235
While waiting for the day of our divorce, I watched as Nicholas appeared frequently in the eyes of the public.
He would take Jasmine out on walks around the malls, treat her to meals, and even watch movies with
her.
Ever since my name had taken a turn for the better, Zachary’s fans had begun sympathizing with me. Hence, the brunt of their attacks began to shift toward Nicholas.
Someone even commented, “Not only do they not look weet together, they’re both a waste of space. Everyone, let’s work together to find someone who’s much more good–looking and wealthier than Nicholas for Ariana!”
Pete also called. I could hear the wind howling on his end as he said, “If you need to use me, I’m more than willing to help.”
I still felt dizzy as I lay on my bed. But there was a seriousness that I had never heard before in Pete’s
tone.
At that moment, I thought about how Pete was not someone I could get together with even if Nicholas and I got a divorce. We just weren’t suitable for each other.
So, I said to him, “Do you think you’d fulfill the condition of being more handsome and wealthier than Nicholas?”
“Fuck you!” Pete’s voice dragged on in annoyance. Then, he began to rant. “Money this, money that. It’s always about money. Why don’t I just give you all my money?
“What good can having a pretty face bring? Can it earn me money? I don’t think you should hold onto so much money either.
“You’ll end up having too much for you to handle, and the stress of having too much money isn’t good for the body either.
“You should just get together with me. You won’t have so much stress, and you’ll probably be able to live
to 99!
“Also, can’t you take a look at the other things that I can bring to the table? I’m young, strong, and filled with energy. Not to mention, I’m also a virgin. How can that old thing compare to me…
Pete’s rant went on like a broken record. So, I listened to him and slowly fell back asleep.
Early the next morning, I stirred in my sleep. Then, I immediately heard Pete’s deliberately deepened voice as he asked through the phone, “Are you awake?”

Something wasn’t quite right. I quickly pushed him away with my cheeks turned flushed as I looked up and met his bright eyes.
He smiled and hugged me shamelessly once again. His slightly hot breath fell on my neck as he said, This is nice.”
