In the days that followed, Edward always found new ways to appear before her.
Every day, a bouquet of flowers was delivered to her doorstep right on time, apology messages came from different numbers, and he even stood outside her building just to catch a glimpse of her.
But Anastasia never paid any attention to him.
The flowers he sent always ended up in the trash, and she blocked one unfamiliar number after another.
Until that day, when Edward collapsed from heatstroke at her doorstep under the scorching sun.
Yet Anastasia still didn’t care; she simply called the community staff to take him to the hospital. without even seeing him once.
When Edward woke up in the hospital and saw his assistant sitting beside him, he was completely stunned.
In the past, whenever she heard he was hurt, she would worry herself sick, staying by his side day and night until he recovered.
But now, she hadn’t even looked at him once…
Thinking of this, Edward clutched his chest, letting the uncontrollable pain sweep through his body, penetrating deep into his bones.
His assistant looked at the state of his boss and sighed.
He tried to persuade him, saying, “Mr. Copeland, don’t wear yourself out like this. After all, Mr Thomas is still waiting for you back in America.”
Suddenly, Edward looked up sharply, his eyes shining with unprecedented brightness. “Quick, bring Thomas here.
Since she refused to see him, he didn’t believe she would refuse to see her own son
The moment Thomas arrived in Switzerland, he knocked on Anastasia’s door
But it was Lucian who opened the door

Looking at the little boy who barely reached his knee. Lucian quickly realized who he was.
He glanced behind him, and after confirming that the other man hadn’t followed, he turned to ask Anastasia, “Should we let this little guy in?”
When Anastasia saw who it was, her expression grew complicated, but she nodded
As soon as he entered. Thomas jumped into Anastasia’s arms, hugging her neck and crying. “Mommy, when will you come home with Daddy? I was dizzy from the long flight, but I came all the way here because I missed you. I really, really missed you.”
The sudden affection left her momentarily stunned.
In her memory. Thomas had never been close to her. As he grew older, he wouldn’t even let her hug him. let alone cling to her neck and act spoiled like this.
She also knew clearly that Edward had sent him to call her back.
But she was not someone who could be swayed by a child.
So even though he came, her heart remained completely unmoved.
“Tom. go back. Daddy will raise you well and find you a good stepmother.”
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Thomas flew into a rage. He jumped out of her arms, pointed at Lucian, and shouted hoarsely, “Mommy, are you leaving me and Daddy because of this man? Priscilla has already been sent to Mexico; she’ll never appear before you again. Can’t you forgive Daddy just once?”
Anastasia said nothing, simply carried him to the door, closed it, and called Edward. “Stop wasting your effort. Your presence has already had a huge impact on my life. If you truly care about me, then let this be the end.”
Let this be the end? How could he let it end here?
He loved her desperately, and he had only made a mistake that every man might make. Now he had already bowed his head to her–what more did she want?
Edward, heartbroken, took Thomas back. For the next few days, he didn’t appear before her, but he always watched her from a distance.
And so he saw her wiping sweat from another man’s brow, smiling at another man, acting intimately
All of it drove him mad with jealousy

Only now did he finally understand how much pain she must have felt when she learned he was with Priscilla.
Just watching her was enough to drown his heart in a flood of bitterness.
And what about her, watching him be intimate with Priscilla again and again? Was her heart aching so much she could barely breathe?
Meanwhile, Anastasia’s relationship with Lucian grew closer, but he still hadn’t confessed his feelings to her. Instead, he paid even more attention to her affairs.
For example, he secretly arranged security personnel near her apartment to prevent Edward from disturbing her again and again.
