Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1478

20 years ago, the streets overseas were cold.

In the winter, people in slums died every day.

They wore thin gray clothes, and when someone died, they'd strip the rotting coat from the body. Even if it wasn't cotton but just straw, it was enough to keep off a bit of the chill.

His mother took Drake there illegally. She'd held him in her arms and squeezed into the bottom of the ship's hold, dreaming of reuniting with a man she'd once spent a few months with.

But life there was far more complicated than they'd imagined. Drake still remembered how his mother had never even met his father. She'd been roughly shoved out of the gates by security.

The villa was opulent, but those cold iron gates separated them from the life inside. That was not a place for people like them. They wouldn't even spare them a single dollar.

Unwilling to give up, his mother yelled at the well-dressed woman inside, "Your husband and I have a child. He has the Lowe family's blood in his vines."

She thought the woman would be ashamed or jealous because of those words, but the latter remained expressionless. She didn't even look at them.

That was when Drake understood that his mother had been living in an illusion all along. As he grew older, he understood more about society.

In the world of the rich, everything had a price. The wives wouldn't go crazy over their husbands' love affairs. They were clearer-headed and more rational than anyone else.

To them, marriage was just about mutual benefit. Most of the time, the husbands and wives had their own lives and didn't interfere with each other. As long as their positions were secure, they didn't care about what their husbands did.

And love? It was just the dopamine that came with spending time together. Over time, that feeling would fade. Love was the most fleeting thing.
