"Yes, my girlfriend, she's returned," he replied, his eyes sparkling with an unidentifiable emotion, which left me momentarily speechless. I struggled to form a response, unsure whether this was a positive or negative development. It puzzled me how he referred to her as his girlfriend when we were, in fact, legally married. As I tried to process this, he dropped the bombshell I had feared for the last three years, a sentence I fervently wished I'd never hear: "It's time we part ways. Let's get a divorce," he said casually, taking another bite of his pancake. Meanwhile, the moment Melissa Mugins laid eyes on CEO Listowell Gordon, she knew it was love at first sight. Their arrangement began when, in a delicate situation, she agreed to become his temporary wife for a year. Three years have passed since then, with neither of them mentioning divorce despite the contract's expiration. Melissa had planned to share some joyful news with Listowell, but before she could开口, she received unexpected legal papers – divorce papers – that shattered her carefully crafted plans.
