“What?!”
Initially, Angela was too shocked to react, but when the reality of Carlos's words sank in, she looked at him incredulously.
Carlos said with certainty, "You heard me perfectly well, there's no need for repetition."
Angela frowned in confusion. "Remarry? How can you even suggest such a thing?"
She wondered silently if he was serious and how she was going to refuse him.
Carlos looked at her hesitant expression and asked, "What? You're not interested in the idea?"
She said confidently, “I’m not interested. I don’t see a reason for it at all.”
His gaze darkened and said in a tone that brooked no arguments, “You think there’s room for discussion?”
Suddenly, he stepped closer. His towering presence cast a shadow over her, and she looked up to meet his gaze.
"Name your terms," Carlos said, "I’ll give you whatever you want as long as it's within my power."
"We're divorced, Carlos. Even if we hadn't been, I would still care for Sidney as if he were my own. You don't need to remarry me for Sidney's sake."
He studied her, taking in her youthful appearance, the smoothness of her skin, and her fair complexion.
"I know this is unexpected. Take your time to consider it," he finally said.
Angela scoffed. "I never knew you were such a devoted father, willing to marry someone you don't love just for Sidney's sake. Weren't you planning to marry Lily? What made you change your mind?"
His face darkened at the mention of Lily. He had abandoned the thought of marrying her. He recognized that his obligation to Lily was more about guilt than genuine affection. She had desired marriage, and he had considered it a suitable reparation. But when it came to Sidney, his concern for Sidney’s well-being surpassed any feelings for Lily.
Angela, sensing his internal conflict, asked, "Is this because you wish to give Sidney a complete family?"
"You could say that," Carlos replied, avoiding her gaze.
"We’re different," Angela stated, "I won't marry you just to provide Eddie with a complete family. Even if you were Eddie's..."
She stopped herself mid-sentence.
Carlos noticed the brief change in her expression, and it piqued his curiosity. "Go on."
Her heart raced, but she quickly said, "You’re not Eddie’s father. He's another man's child. Can you truly accept him?"
Carlos remained silent, mulling over her words for a moment before he said, "I will treat him as my own."
Angela continued, "But do you love me?"
Carlos let out a dry laugh. "Love, Angela? This isn't about love. I have no intention of reigniting a romance with you."
"I refuse to enter into a loveless marriage," Angela stated emphatically.
Carlos scoffed. "You're not some naive young girl who still believes in love at this age, are you? Marriage isn't about love. All those romantic notions without a basis in reality are just fairy tales destined for a messy end."
In Carlos's world, especially among the affluent, marriage is a strategic decision. For him, choosing a partner was a matter of suitability, not love. Lily was not the right choice, but Angela was. It was as simple as that.
To Carlos, love was a trivial concept. His father had left his family for so-called love, a decision Carlos did not find noble.
Unexpectedly, Angela asked, "Carlos, have you ever truly loved anyone?"
"Besides Sidney, I love no one," he replied.
"There's a difference between familial love and romantic love. If you've never experienced love, what right do you have to dismiss it? Suppose we remarry and you fall for another woman later—will you leave me again? I might not be a naive teenager anymore, but I gave you the best years of my youth!"
Carlos was stunned into silence.
With a mocking laugh, Angela continued, "Do you really think no men are interested in me? The thing is I refuse to marry a man I don't love. If you want to reconcile, take a number and get in line! Show me you're worth it, win my heart if you can."
As Angela turned to leave, Carlos grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.
Angela struggled to free herself, but Carlos held her tightly. He stared at her and asked in an interrogative tone, “You said there are men interested in you. How many?”
“Why do you want to know?" Angela frowned in confusion.
"Just answer me," he demanded coldly, "Who are they? Names? Job?"
Clearly, this was a threat to the men who were interested in her.
Angela tensed under his scrutinizing gaze, feeling frightened. If she did not know better, she would have thought he was jealous.
"Let me go!"
Carlos persisted. "You said you wouldn't marry a man you don't love. Then why did you marry me nine years ago?"
Angela faltered. "I... I had an agreement with my father."
"Ah, a transaction," Carlos remarked, "If your marriage to me was just an agreement, don't pretend to be virtuous now. State your terms."
Angela looked at Carlos for a long time before she said, "I have only one condition—I want your heart. Nothing else will suffice."
"Mommy!" Eddie suddenly called out. When he saw the two of them together, he froze.
Angela gently pushed Carlos aside and turned to Eddie with a reassuring smile. "What is it, honey?"
"Mom, why are you and Carlos standing so close? What's going on?" Eddie asked, looking at Carlos with suspicion. From his perspective, it appeared as though his mother was about to kiss this man.
Angela found herself at a loss for words, but Carlos smoothly intervened. "Your mom got something in her eye. I was merely helping her."
Eddie did not dwell on the matter and beckoned Angela. "Mom, let's go fly kites."
"Alright," Angela agreed, moving toward Eddie.
…
Hidden behind the trees, Lily looked at Carlos. Her body and hands were trembling.
‘Is he going to reconcile with Angela?’
In her eyes, Angela was exploiting Sidney to climb the social ladder, winning Sidney's affection to attract Carlos's attention.
Lily clenched her teeth in anger, her gaze filled with malice as she watched Angela walk away. At the same time, a sinister plan began to take shape in her mind.
‘I won’t allow this shameless woman to win! Carlos is mine, and no one can take him away from me!’
