As She Signed the Divorce Papers, He Was With His First Love, Feeding Her Medicine; After Three Years of Surrogate Marriage, She Was Finally Free

Chapter 1

"Nancy, are you really going to divorce Ryan and go abroad for further studies?" In the quiet living room, Nancy Xu looked at Mrs. Sullivan's surprised face across from her and nodded.

"Yes, Aunt Sullivan. And as you know, I wasn't the one who was supposed to marry him in the first place. For Ryan, I was just an unexpected stand-in, a substitute when the real bride didn't show up. Now that she's back, he's been very happy lately, so it's time for me to go."

Outside, fine snow was falling gently, creating a beautiful winter scene.

Nancy smiled lightly, "Going abroad to study has always been my dream anyway."

Mrs. Sullivan looked at the young woman before her, remembering three years ago when Fiona Quinn, who was supposed to be the bride, ran away abroad on Ryan's wedding day.

Just as Ryan was standing awkwardly at the altar, red-eyed and not knowing what to do, Nancy put on an ill-fitting wedding dress and slowly walked up to the stage.

Full of apology, she picked up the microphone and apologized to all the guests: "I'm so sorry, there was traffic on the way, I'm late."

It was this act that saved Ryan's face and the Sullivan family's reputation.

Mrs. Sullivan sighed deeply and asked uncertainly, "Will Ryan agree to the divorce?"

Nancy shook her head with a smile, "I already have the divorce agreement."

After all, she had sent the divorce papers half a month ago. At that time, Ryan was in such a hurry to finish work and go see Fiona that he signed without even looking, and left.

Now, she just had to wait seven more days to get the divorce certificate, and then she would be free.

After all, the Sullivan family, for three generations, couldn't go abroad due to the confidential nature of their work.

So once she went abroad, she and Ryan would never have to see each other again.

Just as Mrs. Sullivan was about to speak, a magnetic male voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.

"Nancy, what are you chatting about with Mom?"

Nancy turned around and saw Ryan, whom she hadn't seen for days, in a black suit walking towards them.

"...Ryan."

Seeing her son approach, Mrs. Sullivan was about to step forward to scold him.

"Why are you here?"

With three parts surprise and seven parts reassurance, Nancy stood up and gave Mrs. Sullivan a pleading look, interrupting her at the right moment.

"I missed you, so I came to pick you up on the way."

Ryan's eyes were a bit guilty. Actually, he had come on purpose after learning of Nancy's whereabouts.

After saying goodbye to the worried Mrs. Sullivan, the two took their bags and left the Sullivan family mansion.

On the way back, heavy rain beat against the car windows, but inside it was completely silent.

Ryan was silent for a long time before he finally spoke.

"Nancy."

"Actually, Fiona and I are over. It's just that she just came back to the country and had heart surgery a few years ago, so her health isn't good. As an old... friend, I just went to help her settle in, so I hope ...
