FunTranscript
00:00I had been secretly married to my CEO husband, Adrian, for six years.
00:04But he didn't love me and never let our son call him dad.
00:08After he missed our son's birthday again because of his assistant, Chloe,
00:11I took out the divorce papers.
00:13Let's get a divorce.
00:14Adrian, Mr. Collins, I'm leaving for an overseas training program next month.
00:19This is my resignation letter.
00:20Why so sudden?
00:21My son's father is in Australia.
00:23I'm taking my son there so our family can be together.
00:26That's good. Raising a child alone here must be hard.
00:28We all thought you were a single mom.
00:30In everyone else's eyes, I was just a tired mother raising her child alone.
00:34But no one knew my boss, Adrian, was the father of my child.
00:38Seven years ago, I was his personal assistant.
00:40After one drunken, chaotic night, we had a child.
00:44Back then, he warned me.
00:46I can marry you, but I will never publicly acknowledge you as my wife.
00:50Even after all these years, his words had not changed.
00:53I turned and walked out, only to run into Adrian Blackwood and Chloe Bennett.
00:57Chloe held a report in one hand and lightly tugged at Adrian's suit jacket with the other.
01:01The sweetness between them was almost blinding.
01:04The moment we brushed past each other, my heart skipped.
01:07I still could not stop myself.
01:08Adrian.
01:09Adrian stopped.
01:10His face was cold.
01:11Miss Carter.
01:13Mr. Blackwood.
01:15Adrian gave a faint hum and kept walking.
01:18I smiled bitterly and swallowed the news that I was leaving.
01:21Just then, my phone screen lit up.
01:22Leo had texted me, Mommy, will Daddy come home for my birthday?
01:27I froze for a second and looked back.
01:29Adrian lowered his head and spoke gently to Chloe.
01:31When someone walked past, he instinctively pulled Chloe into his arms.
01:35The tenderness in his eyes was impossible to hide.
01:37I pushed down the ache in my chest and sent Adrian a message.
01:41Today is Leo's birthday.
01:42Are you free tonight?
01:43Across the hallway, Adrian picked up his phone, but didn't reply.
01:47He put his phone down and left with Chloe.
01:49Looking at Adrian's retreating figure, I smiled bitterly.
01:53Evelyn Carter.
01:54So what were you still hoping for?
01:55I put my phone back into my pocket.
01:57I took a deep breath and walked away.
02:03I went straight to Leo's kindergarten.
02:05The first thing my son said when he saw me was,
02:08Mommy, today is my birthday.
02:09Will Daddy celebrate with me?
02:11Your dad?
02:11Before I could finish, my phone rang.
02:13I'm free.
02:14Go home.
02:14Surprise rushed through me.
02:16Don't worry, Leo.
02:17Daddy will come home.
02:18Leo clapped and threw himself into my arms.
02:19After six years of marriage, this was the first time Adrian was willing to celebrate
02:24our son's birthday.
02:25That night, I made a full table of food.
02:27Leo finished his homework early, too.
02:29One hour passed, then two, then three.
02:31I sent one message after another.
02:33But just like every other time, none of them got a reply.
02:36Mommy, is Daddy too busy?
02:38Pain stabbed through my chest.
02:40I wanted to explain, but I could not say a single word in Adrian's defense.
02:44In the end, all I could say was,
02:45It's okay.
02:47Mommy will always be with you.
02:49Leo did not ask again.
02:51He obediently picked up the birthday hat.
02:52Mommy, can you put it on me?
02:54I turned and put the birthday hat on Leo.
02:57Happy birthday, Leo.
02:59How day to you.
03:03My birthday wish is to stay with Mommy forever.
03:06My phone suddenly chimed.
03:07Then I accidentally saw Chloe's Instagram.
03:09A wedding ring appeared in the corner of the photo.
03:12It was the one I had chosen when Adrian and I got married.
03:14How ironic.
03:15On our son's sixth birthday, he was having dinner with another woman in a luxury restaurant.
03:20Mommy, don't cry.
03:21Eat cake.
03:24If Mommy takes you away from Daddy, would you be okay with that?
03:27I want to go.
03:28Leo doesn't want Mommy to cry in secret anymore.
03:33Okay.
03:34Mommy promises.
03:35That night, neither of us mentioned Adrian again.
03:37After Leo fell asleep, I took the divorce papers from the drawer.
03:41The last bit of hesitation in my heart disappeared.
03:44At two in the morning, Adrian finally came home.
03:48He saw the cake on the table.
03:50Regret flickered in his eyes.
03:52Sorry.
03:53I forgot.
03:55I almost laughed.
03:57I sent you message after message.
03:59Did you really not see them?
04:06I forced myself to stay calm.
04:09Then I handed him the divorce agreement.
04:11Sign the seal.
04:12Before I could finish, Adrian's phone rang.
04:17Mr. Blackwood, I think the power went out at my place.
04:21Can you come stay with me?
04:23I'm scared.
04:26Adrian stood up immediately.
04:29Anxiety flashed in his eyes.
04:32Wait for me.
04:33I'll be there.
04:36After hanging up, he signed the papers without even looking at them.
04:42I watched him leave quietly.
04:45Adrian Blackwood, remember this.
04:48You were the one who threw this family away.
04:52The next day, I returned to the company to hand over my work.
04:58Adrian came to me first and handed me a beautifully wrapped gift box.
05:07Leo's birthday present.
05:09I forgot to give it to him yesterday.
05:11I took the gift and opened it.
05:13Inside was a toy dog.
05:15Dogs were Leo's worst fear.
05:18When Leo was five, Adrian took him to an amusement park.
05:21He ran into a friend halfway through and let go of Leo's hand.
05:28Leo got lost in the crowd.
05:32By the time we found him again, he was crouched by the road, shaking after being scared by
05:37a stray dog.
05:39Since then, dogs had become Leo's nightmare.
05:42And the person responsible for that nightmare had actually bought one as a gift.
05:47I could not tell whether I felt more anger or disappointment.
05:50I casually set the box aside.
05:54The power at Chloe's place went out.
05:56I'm planning to let her stay at home.
05:58Don't come to work today.
06:00Go back and pack some things.
06:02Take Leo somewhere else for a couple of days.
06:06You mean you're kicking our son and me out for Chloe?
06:09Don't make it sound so ugly.
06:10She's only staying for a while.
06:12Since we agreed to keep our marriage hidden, we have to avoid suspicion in front of our co-workers.
06:17I smiled at the irony.
06:19Was Chloe really just a co-worker?
06:22Or did he simply think Leo and I were in the way of his new romance and needed to stay
06:27hidden?
06:29Fine.
06:30I'll pack as soon as I can and take Leo away.
06:33We won't bother you.
06:35Seeing how easily I agreed, Adrian was the one who froze.
06:39I'll make it up to you.
06:40I did not look up.
06:41I only stayed silent.
06:45When I got home, I packed our luggage and took Leo to the door.
06:48But the moment I opened it, I ran into Adrian bringing Chloe back.
06:52He looked more like her boyfriend than my husband.
06:57Miss Carter, why are you at Mr. Blackwood's house?
07:00The first thing I did was pull Leo behind me.
07:04I...
07:05They're relatives of mine.
07:06They're staying here for a while.
07:07I had only said one word before Adrian cut me off.
07:10It was not the first time.
07:12But every time I heard it, my heart still hurt.
07:14I was about to speak, but Leo spoke first.
07:17Hello, sir.
07:19I turned to look at him in disbelief.
07:21Mommy, let's go.
07:25Okay.
07:27As I walked past Adrian, he grabbed my wrist.
07:30What did Leo just call me?
07:32For six years of our hidden marriage, Adrian had forced Leo to call him sir.
07:36But now, Leo was choosing to draw the line himself.
07:39Isn't that what you always wanted, Mr. Blackwood?
07:41Give me a few days.
07:42I'll explain it to Leo.
07:45Chloe is waiting for you.
07:46Let go.
07:48He released my hand reluctantly.
07:52Wait.
07:57Adrian handed the cake to me.
07:59Leo, happy birthday.
08:01Actually, Mr. Blackra bought this cake for me.
08:03I didn't expect it to be your son's birthday, too.
08:06Miss Carter, please don't mind.
08:08The cake in my hand suddenly felt unbearably heavy.
08:11I was about to give it back.
08:12Then I saw the surprise in Leo's eyes.
08:15My heart softened, so I stopped.
08:18Leo did not understand the fight between adults.
08:20He only looked at Adrian with hope.
08:24Can you eat it with me?
08:26Adrian hesitated only for a moment before agreeing.
08:29Leo cheered and ran into the living room, urging me to open the cake.
08:33Soon, I cut the cake into pieces.
08:36But the moment the cake entered my mouth, the smile on my face froze completely.
08:45Spit it out!
08:46Don't eat it!
08:48Adrian's face instantly darkened.
08:50Evelyn Carter, are you crazy?
08:52Leo is allergic to mango.
08:54You didn't know?
08:59Sorry, I didn't know.
09:00Since the day Leo was born, I had heard him say sorry countless times.
09:05Leo seemed to understand, too.
09:07There was no expectation left in his eyes.
09:09It's okay.
09:10He doesn't know.
09:11That's normal.
09:13After saying that, Leo buried his face tightly in my arms.
09:16He refused to look at Adrian again.
09:17I stood up, carried Leo, and walked out.
09:20Even after leaving the villa, I could still feel Adrian's apologetic, panicked gaze behind me.
09:25But this time, neither my son nor I felt anything.
09:28After leaving home, I went straight to the office.
09:31I quickly packed up everything on my desk.
09:33I had planned to say a proper goodbye.
09:36Now, it seemed unnecessary.
09:38I placed the signed divorce agreement on the desk.
09:41Then I let out a long breath.
09:43With my luggage in hand, I took Leo to the airport.
09:46Will you be mad at mommy for taking you away?
09:49Leo shook his head and pressed his cheek against mine.
09:52I only want mommy.
09:53My tears finally broke free.
09:55At that moment, all the pain turned into release.
09:58I took out my phone and blocked Adrian everywhere.
10:02The next day, Adrian arrived at the company on time.
10:06After what happened yesterday, he had been distracted and uneasy.
10:09He opened his inbox.
10:10An approved email popped up.
10:14Resignation letter?
10:17Adrian stared at the approved resignation email.
10:20Adrian suddenly had a bad feeling.
10:22Just as he was about to open it, Chloe walked in.
10:28Mr. Blackwood, here's the report from last time.
10:32Then she moved to Adrian's side like she had done many times before.
10:35This had been their unspoken flirtation.
10:38But now, Adrian suddenly felt uncomfortable.
10:40After reading only one page, his brows tightened.
10:44Aside from the formatting, there was almost nothing right in this report.
10:47She had even typed the department name wrong.
10:49Who made this report?
10:50Do they not have basic work skills?
10:56Get Mr. Collins in here.
10:58I want to know how HR hires people.
11:00Mr. Blackwood, I made that report.
11:02All of Adrian's anger died in an instant.
11:05For the first time, he felt helpless.
11:08Mr. Blackwood, do you think I'm stupid now?
11:10If you really think I'm stupid, then I'll leave.
11:12You can hire another assistant who's smarter and more capable.
11:14Adrian stopped her without thinking.
11:17When he met Chloe's pitiful eyes, he froze.
11:21Evelyn had never looked at him like that.
11:23She was proud.
11:25No matter what happened, she always tried to solve it herself.
11:29She was nothing like Chloe.
11:31If Evelyn were still here…
11:35Go out first.
11:37Mr. Blackwood…
11:38Out!
11:41In the end, she left unwillingly.
11:46After Chloe left, Adrian returned to his desk.
11:49He looked at the report full of mistakes.
11:52Many images suddenly rose in his mind.
11:55Seven years ago, Evelyn had also been a rookie.
11:58She had no work experience.
12:01She did not have an impressive degree or a powerful background.
12:05Among all the excellent applicants, she did not stand out.
12:09But she was the only one who passed the internship.
12:12Back then, she was driven and willing to work hard.
12:16If she did not know how to make a report, she shamelessly asked the senior staff to teach her.
12:21If she did not understand a process, she carried a notebook and wrote everything down.
12:25Whenever Adrian needed her, she always appeared as fast as possible.
12:29And she always gave him the best solution.
12:32Even at business events, she could quickly remember everyone's identity and background.
12:37Back then, what she said most often was…
12:39Mr. Blackwood, I'll do better next time.
12:41If the assistant job could be graded, Evelyn was a perfect score.
12:47Adrian still remembered how everyone envied him whenever he brought Evelyn along.
12:52Unfortunately, everything had been ruined that night.
12:55After that ridiculous night, everything changed.
13:01Even now, Adrian still did not understand why Evelyn had degraded herself like that.
13:06Why had she tried so hard to climb into his bed?
13:09All he knew was this.
13:11That morning, when he woke up and saw Evelyn beside him,
13:14all his admiration turned into hatred.
13:17The more he had admired her before, the more he hated her afterward.
13:22So even after they had to marry because of the child,
13:25he still could not treat Evelyn properly.
13:28He even chose Chloe, someone completely different from Evelyn,
13:33as his rebellion against married life.
13:35But now, thinking of Chloe's growing recklessness,
13:39Adrian suddenly felt bored.
13:41Evelyn and Leo leaving without looking back flashed through Adrian's mind.
13:44Adrian's heart started beating fast.
13:46Maybe he should stop being so childish.
13:49Maybe after all these years, Evelyn had changed.
13:53Maybe.
13:55That evening at 6, Adrian took Chloe to a business dinner.
13:59Adrian had not seen Evelyn for an entire day.
14:02Had he gone too far this time?
14:04That thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
14:06He took out his phone.
14:08Just as he was about to message Evelyn, a business partner walked over.
14:11Then he pushed every other thought down and returned to work.
14:15The conversation was going well.
14:18Then an inappropriate voice cut in.
14:20Chloe held a chocolate cupcake.
14:22Her eyes were full of innocent delight.
14:24Mr. Blackwood, this dessert is so good!
14:26The conversation stopped.
14:28She smiled and squeezed in front of Adrian.
14:30Chocolate and cream smeared across his face.
14:33Chloe gasped and reached out to wipe it.
14:35Enough!
14:35Fears immediately filled her eyes.
14:38Mr. Blackfield, what's wrong?
14:40You weren't like this before.
14:42Adrian took a deep breath and was about to speak.
14:44Then he noticed the strange looks from the business partners.
14:47Mr. Blackwood, you seem busy.
14:49We can discuss the proposal another time.
14:51Yes, yes, you're busy.
14:52We'll talk next time.
14:53Adrian had no reason to stop them.
14:55A perfectly good business discussion had been ruined by Chloe.
14:59Mr. Walsh and the others found a quiet place to gossip.
15:02Does Mr. Blackwood have some strange taste?
15:04Maybe young men like that kind of thing now.
15:06I still think his old assistant was better.
15:08I tried to poach her several times and try at it, but she never agreed.
15:11On the other side.
15:12Chloe, look what you did.
15:13She looked terribly wrong.
15:14Mr. Blackwood, what did I do?
15:15I only wanted to share something with you I do wrong.
15:18What did I do wrong?
15:18Other guests looked over.
15:20Strange looks fell on them.
15:22Adrian had no choice.
15:24You did nothing wrong.
15:25I was wrong.
15:27No matter how angry he was, he could not lose his temper in public.
15:32Mr. Blackwilled, you're so good to me.
15:35For the rest of the night, Adrian sat alone on the sofa in the corner.
15:40By the time he got home, the alcohol had caught up to him.
15:43Adrian held his head and pushed the door open unsteadily.
15:46Evelyn, water?
15:46The words fell into silence.
15:48Only then did he remember.
15:50Evelyn and Leo left yesterday.
15:52Adrian turned on the lights and went into the kitchen.
15:54He took a can of soda from the fridge.
15:57When he closed the door, he noticed the fridge was covered with stickers.
16:01In front of his eyes, Leo seemed to sneak into the study again.
16:06Daddy, can you read with me?
16:08I'm busy.
16:09I don't have time.
16:10Thinking of that, a strange irritation rose in Adrian's chest.
16:15Adrian took out his phone.
16:17Send me your address.
16:18I'll pick you and Leo up tomorrow.
16:19After typing it, he felt the tone was wrong.
16:23So he deleted it and rewrote the message.
16:26The next second, a glaring notification appeared.
16:29Message failed.
16:31He opened the company group chat, but he still could not find Evelyn's profile picture.
16:35The panic in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
16:38Then he thought of the resignation email he did not open that morning.
16:41After only one second of hesitation, he called the HR manager.
16:49The other side of the call was noisy.
16:51It sounded like a family watching TV.
16:53Daddy, the cartoon is starting.
16:55Mr. Collins answered the child.
16:56Hello, Mr. Blackwood.
16:57Is there something you need me to handle?
16:59Nothing.
16:59I just wanted to ask why I can't find Evelyn Carter in the company group chat.
17:03Ms. Carter resigned.
17:04When?
17:05Ms. Carter handed in her resignation letter the morning before yesterday.
17:08She said her husband was stationed in Australia.
17:10She wanted to take her son there to reunite with him and continue her training.
17:13Mr. Blackwood, you didn't know?
17:14Just as he was about to lose his temper, a child's voice came through the phone.
17:18Daddy, why aren't you watching TV with me yet?
17:21Once again, he could not stop himself from thinking of Leo.
17:24That night, Adrian sat on the kitchen floor until morning.
17:28It was the first time he had ever looked so miserable.
17:31In the past, no matter how late he came home, there was always a light left on for him.
17:36There was always someone sitting on the sofa, quietly waiting for him.
17:39Now there was nothing.
17:40The huge villa held only him.
17:42The next day, Adrian did not even change his clothes.
17:45He went straight to the company.
17:46He pushed open the office door.
17:48Evelyn's desk had already been cleared.
17:50A thin document lay quietly on the desk.
17:52Adrian opened it with trembling hands.
17:54A line of text appeared in front of him.
17:57So you really planned to leave me?
17:58He had imagined leaving many times.
18:00But he never imagined that the one who made the decision first would be Evelyn.
18:04He never imagined that without realizing it, the one who could not let go was actually him.
18:11He was going to Australia.
18:12He was going to find Evelyn.
18:14Adrian strode out with a cold face.
18:16Mr. Blackwood, where are you going?
18:19You didn't even send me home last night.
18:21I had to stay at a hotel by myself.
18:23I'm upset.
18:24Move.
18:25Mr. Blackwood, what are you saying?
18:28If you keep acting like this, I'm really going to be mad.
18:32Move.
18:32Chloe still wanted to speak.
18:34Adrian pushed her aside and walked away.
18:38Find Evelyn Carter's current address for me and book me a ticket to Australia today.
18:44Today was Leo's first day of school.
18:46I got up early and packed Leo's backpack.
18:48Although we had only been in Australia for two days, I had actually planned this for a long time.
18:53Six months ago, I contacted a friend who worked in Australia.
18:56I asked him to help me find a suitable home and school here.
18:59I watched Leo get on the school bus.
19:01Then I pulled my coat tighter and turned to go home.
19:05A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind me.
19:07Evelyn.
19:08My body stiffened.
19:09I turned around slowly.
19:10It was Adrian.
19:11Adrian looked much rougher than before.
19:13No one knew I applied to Blackwood Group because of Adrian.
19:16He had gone to the same college as me three years ahead.
19:19One brief glance at him during freshman orientation had been enough for me to lose my heart.
19:24So for four years in college, I studied, took exams, and fought for internships with everything I had.
19:30Only then did I earn the chance to interview at Blackwood Group.
19:33Only then did I finally have the right to stand openly in front of Adrian and tell him my name.
19:38I spent five years walking to Adrian's side.
19:40But he used one night to destroy everything I had worked for.
19:49Come in and sit.
19:52He immediately followed me inside.
19:55Two sugars.
19:56No milk.
19:57Then I sat on the sofa across from him.
19:59You still remember.
20:01Since you came all the way here, I assume you saw the divorce papers.
20:05I don't want half your assets.
20:07I only want custody of Leo.
20:12Evelyn Carter, I don't agree to the divorce.
20:17That's fine.
20:18I can wait.
20:19Three years of separation will be enough.
20:23Evelyn Carter, do you want to leave me that badly?
20:26Don't forget, six years ago, you were the one who climbed into my bed.
20:30At that moment, I finally understood everything.
20:35Huh.
20:36Adrian Blackwood, so this is what you've thought all these years.
20:40No wonder your attitude changed after you woke up that morning.
20:43I thought you stopped valuing me once you had me.
20:46I felt disappointed.
20:47But it turns out this is what you believed all along.
20:50But more than that, I felt relieved.
20:53Adrian Blackwood, has it ever occurred to you that I was the victim?
20:57What?
20:58I thought of that night again.
20:59Adrian was drunk.
21:00I helped him into the suite that had been booked for him.
21:02After helping him clean up a little, I placed a glass of warm water on the bedside table.
21:07Then I prepared to leave.
21:09But Adrian suddenly grabbed my hand.
21:11He dragged me onto the bed with brutal force.
21:14That night I struggled.
21:15I screamed.
21:16But none of it worked.
21:17But I never imagined that one day, this would be how we began.
21:21After it ended, I spent the entire night convincing myself, you loved him, didn't you?
21:27But I never expected that Adrian would remember nothing.
21:30That was fine.
21:31At least I could keep convincing myself that I had not been harmed.
21:36What's past is past.
21:39Adrian, please stop disturbing my life, okay?
21:41What did you mean by what you just said?
21:43It meant nothing.
21:45I have things to do.
21:46You should go.
21:52I don't agree to the divorce.
21:53When I figure this out, I'll come back to you.
21:56I did not care.
21:59I stayed in Australia and officially started my training program.
22:03After I stopped working, I had more time to spend with Leo.
22:06He slowly forgot the unhappy things from before.
22:09He also made many local friends.
22:11During that time, I dated a few men here and there.
22:15I just never wanted to get married again.
22:19Adrian also came to Australia from time to time to see Leo.
22:23Maybe he wanted to repair his relationship with his son.
22:26After asking Leo, I did not refuse his visits.
22:30After all, Leo was Adrian's child.
22:34I treated it as taking advantage of his family fortune.
22:37Adrian might have remembered something, too.
22:40For a while, he kept sending me money.
22:45Sometimes, when he came to see Leo, he would look at me with guilt in his eyes.
22:50I ignored him.
22:52If he gave money, I accepted it.
22:55But I never stopped dating other people.
22:57He would only ever be a small episode in my life now.
23:00He would never affect me again.
23:03So you see, the sky always brightened.
23:07Even without the sun, it still brightened.
