Chapter 6 A month after the divorce , I ran into Nolan and Andrea while shopping at the mall with Kaia .
As they approached , I spotted Nolan carrying Andrea , a cheap cigarette dangling from his lips .
The acrid smoke reached me before they did , causing me to instinctively step back and cover my nose .
Lost quite a bit of weight since the divorce , havent you ? Nolan sneered .
Whats wrong ? Cant eat because youre so jealous of my happiness with Andrea ? Too bad your regrets wont change anything .
Andreas the one I truly love .
Kaia and I exchanged glances , speechless at his delusion .
The truth was , Id lost weight because I no longer had to cater to his whims .
With a more structured daily routine and regular gym sessions with Kaia , the pounds had naturally melted away .
If anyone looked worse for wear , it was Nolan .
Hed grown gaunt , his words punctuated by frequent coughing fits .
The lung cancer was clearly progressing rapidly .
Misinterpreting my observation as longing , he continued , Lifes been amazing since I left you .
Andreas nothing like you .
She doesnt try to control my every move .
Chapter 6 2/3 She respects my love of smoking and even buys me cigarettes .
Unlike you , who was always nagging me to quit .
What an idiot .
My controlling behavior had been an attempt to protect his health , yet he still ended up with lung cancer ..
Now he was praising Andrea for enabling his self destruction under the guise of freedom .
Id initially planned to warn him about getting a medical check up , for the sake of our three year marriage .
But his attitude changed my mind .
If he was so keen on his freedom , he could freely speed toward his own demise .
Is that so ? I replied coolly .
How wonderful for you .
Andrea , noting Nolans fixed attention on me , shot me a hostile glare before cooing , Darling , I love the handbag you bought me .
I glanced at her designer bag a luxury brand piece that typically retailed for 30 thousand to 40 thousand dollars .
Thats genuine , Kaia , who worked in retail , whispered to me .
I frowned , doing the math .
Even if theyd liquidated all their wedding gifts , theyd have scraped together 100 thousand dollars at most .
After they repaid my 350 thousand dollars and the 300 thousand dollar house down payment , it was already miraculous theyd managed those payments .
Where had they 3/3 Chapter 6 found the money for luxury purchases ? Even if they wanted to act generous , they needed to have the money .
Jealous , arent you ? Nolan gloated , oblivious to my skepticism .
Andreas given me a son .
Im willing to give her everything .

Unlike some people who couldnt even conceive after three years of marriage .
Kaia nearly hurled her coffee at his head , but I caught her arm just in time .
Selena , why are you stopping me ? she asked angrily .
I smirked , turning to her .
No point arguing with a dying man , I replied , telling her about Nolans cancer .
