Chapter 248
Fade Chen was sitting opposite Mindy Wu, and he looked at her with some concern. He said, "Sister
Mindy, what’s wrong ? You look a little nervous. Did something happen?" Mindy shook her head and
picked up the cup of coffee with both hands. She took a sip gently, and remained silent. Seeing Mindy
behaving like this, Fade knew that something was on her mind. Otherwise, she would not act so
unusual. Fade did not continue to ask her anymore. He ordered a cup of coffee and accompanied her
quietly. After drinking half of her coffee, Mindy finally made up her mind. She put down the coffee cup,
and looked at Fade. She said, "Fade, I need your help this time for an issue that I am facing." "Sister
Mindy, please tell me," Fade said earnestly, and he leaned forward slightly. Mindy sighed and said,
‘Fish’s father... is back." "Oh.." Fade replied. He was slightly surprised, and he glanced at Mindy. "Sister
Mindy, are you saying that your ex husband is back?"He asked. Mindy nodded and confirmed that he
was right. Fade looked at the indescribable expression on Mindy’s face. He asked cautiously, "Sister
Mindy, are you thinking of... getting back together with him?" Mindy trembled when she heard the
phrase "getting back together". She shook her head and said, "That would be impossible. When I
discovered all his actions, I gave up on him." "Sister Mindy, if it’s alright with you, could you tell me what
happened..." Fade said. Mindy nodded and said, "There is nothing for me to hide. Many people are
aware about what had happened at the time." Mindy reminisced about the past with a sigh, "When I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas a research student, he was my senior. We met in one of the lab classes. However, we were not
familiar with each other at that time. When he was close to graduation, we became an official couple."
"Then, he graduated and started work. A year later, I graduated and joined the same company. We
were colleagues working together, and we stayed in the company for two years. The relationship was
steady and we got married within a year and a half after graduation." "But during that period of time, he
encountered some trouble at work. He felt that he had been working for three years but he was
stagnant in his career growth. He wanted to get a promotion, but there were no opportunities. I
consoled him a lot, and also secretly asked my father and my brother to help him find another job.
However, he was discontented and dissatisfied with life." "Later during winter that year, I discovered
that I was pregnant, and returned from the hospital with excitement. 1 was going to tell him this good
news. But on that day, he suddenly told me that he had made a decision." "I asked him what his
decision was, and he told me that in the field that he had specialized in, he had no chance for
advancement in the country. He was going abroad and would be studying in Micovia, to gain more
knowledge and further advance his career in the future." "I didn’t want him to leave at that time. After
all, we had just gotten married not more than half a year ago. Also, I was pregnant. But after some
discussion, he still decided to leave for his studes in Microvia." "As a result, we quarreled, and both our
parents got involved. But he was determined. In the end, he even knelt down and begged me not to
restrain his desire to pursue his dreams, and to give him freedom." Hearing this, the corner of Fade’s
eyes twitched slightly, and he had an angry expression on his face. A man who was leaving his
pregnant wife and unborn child saying that he wanted his wife to let him go and give him freedom.
Such a selfish and hypocritical person was truly despicable. Seeing Fade’s expression, Mindy curled
her lips slightly. She laughed in a self-deprecating manner and said, "Yes, It was infuriating. At that
time, I was so angry that I almost fainted. Anyway, I allowed him to go. I gave him his freedom, and
signed the divorce agreement." "After that, he immediately flew to Micovia to pursue his so called
dreams and enjoy his freedom. I quit my job and stayed at home to rest. Nine months later, Fish was
born." "At that time, I had almost forgotten him. But the birth of my child made me feel nostalgic. So, I
contacted him and talked about our child. "My intention was to allow Fish’s biological father to meet her.
However, when I told him this news, he was very nervous and kept trying to probe into my affairs. He
was very anxious that I would bring the child and search for him, affecting his life there." "Later, I asked
someone to help me find out what had happened to him. Only then did I find out that after he had gone
to Micovia, he had married a 50-year old woman there in order to gain the green card there." "After
that, he graduated from his studies and applied to work in a big corporation. He divorced his wife in
Micovia immediately. When I called him again, he was handling the legal procedures of the divorce,
and he was afraid that 1 would find out about this matter. He thought that I would want to bring the child
to him and become a legal citizen of Micovia." At this moment, Fade was speechless. That guy was
way too selfish. When he heard the news that his child was born, he didn’t think of his wife and his

child, nor the memories of the past. Instead, he was worried that sister Mindy would try to take
advantage of him. Mindy’s expression was also rather gloomy, and she continued, "Yesterday, he
contacted me again and said that he had returned to the country. He wanted to have a talk with me and
he wanted to meet Fish." Fade frowned and he said, "It’s been several years now. He didn’t want to
see you in the past. Why is he suddenly returning to the country to see his child now ?" Mindy shook
his head and said, "I don’t know either. Maybe, maybe there are other reasons for him to change his
mind!" Mindy looked a little flustered when she said this. Seeing her in this state, Fade realized that
Mindy might still feel hopeful for her ex-husband. Perhaps it was because he was her first love, or
maybe it was because of their child. Because sister Mindy was hopeful, she agreed to meet with her
ex-husband. But she was still worried and afraid, so she had called Fade to meet her here. "Sister
Mindy, where is Fish?" Fade asked. Mindy said, "I asked a nanny to bring Fish to the playground. I’m
going to meet with my ex-husband and see what he wants first, and then decide whether Fish should
see him." Fade nodded and said, "That’s a good idea. I’ll stay here with you, sister Mindy." Mindy
nodded, and she was silent. She seemed confused. About ten minutes later, a man in a suit appeared
outside the cafe. Mindy couldn’t help but tremble when she saw the man’s figure. Her expression
changed as she noticed the man walking in. She quickly said, "Fade, sit next to me.".
