From Divorce To Dominance

"What brings you here? Can't you knock before coming in?" Darren asked, frowning at Ethan.

"We're so close. Why bother knocking?" Ethan asked back, sizing him up and down. "I thought you'd be upset after the breakup. But why do you look so horny?" "You're the horny one!" Darren retorted. "I'm not interested in sex at all!"

"Come on. How could you have a son without sex?" Ethan asked sarcastically.

"No interest t doesn't

t mean I'm bad in bed," Darren chuckled, looking confident. "We only had sex once and I got her pregnant. Since you don't have a kid, you wouldn't understand." "What's the point of it? Your son is about to have a stepfather. When he grows up, he won't even know you're his father," Ethan said.

As Darren's close friend, he knew how to taunt Ethan.

"Right now, Leon has the most supporters. Jeremy and Andrew have the next most. As Natalie's ex-husband, who do you prefer to be your son's stepfather? By the way, Ms. Xavier is about to join a dating reality show. She'll probably meet a lot of great guys."

"I like Leon!" Nichole

like Leon! NIC e suddenly said, tilting her head. "I think Leon and Natalie are a perfect match! Honestly speaking, Natalie looks good with any of them." "She's right," Ethan han echoed, patting her back gently. "Go sit on the couch. I'd like to talk with Darren in private."

Nicole nodded obediently.

After she walked away, Darren frowned. "Why didn't she go to school today?"

"She j

finished her college entrance exams," Ethan replied. He got back on topic and asked, "Why did you break up with Vivian break up? Tell me everything. is super curious. She kept asking me about it."

Darren told him briefly what had happened.

Ethan felt dumbfounded. "This is quite dramatic. So, did you find your real savior?"

Darren shook his head. "The person dropped me off at the beach, probably they didn't want me to know they were."

"No." Darr

Ethan pondered for a moment and then hit the nail on the head. "So you had no memories of those three months while you were unconscious?"

It was easier to talk to talk with a smart person. Darren looked at him and slowly shook his head. "That's what I wanted to ask you. Why did I lose that part of my memory? Was I in a coma or did I just forget about it because of something?"

his mind racing. "You were injected with unknown drugs at the time. Perhaps you lost parts of your memory due to its side effects. It's okay if you can't remember. Since your savior didn't want you to know who he or she was, you don't have to think about repaying his or her kindness."

"Both are possible," Eth Ethan replied, his

It was true, but Darren still thought about Natalie. What she she said that day circled in his mind from time to time. you're single again, have you thought about remarrying Natalie?" Ethan suddenly asked. No, I havent, I Darren replied. Ethan knew he didn't mean it. "Really? There's no time to lose. If you don't move fast, your ex-wife will fall in love with another guy. It is said that this dating show is going to choose the most eligible bachelors from all over the country. If she marries someone else by then, your kid will have a stepfather." Darren

thought, With such a handsome ex-husband, how could Natalie possibly fall in love with someone else?" "A truly eligible bachelor won't attend the dating show to find a wife. Only those weirdos and losers go on dating shows to find women," he scoffed. "That's not true, Uncle Darren," Nicole suddenly chimed in, holding her phone. "I just signed Ethan up for the Sweet Love."

Ethan

twitched his mouth and walked toward her. He snatched the phone from her hand and glanced at the application form on the screen. "Why did you sign me up?" he asked helplessly.

"To get you a girlfriend." Nicole cleared her throat and lowered her voice, "You need to get yourself a girlfriend.

You spend all day with me. It is rumored that I'm your girlfriend!"

Ethan remembered this was a conversation with his mother.

"Bullshit." he said, deleting the signup form.

Nicole was unhappy, but she still smiled brightly. "Ethan, you don't really think of me as your girlfriend, do you?" she asked.

Ethan looked into her curious eyes. She was eighteen years old. Perhaps it was time for her to know some things. He gave her phone back and patted her head without answering. Nicole was stunned for a moment, but she giggled.

Ethan changed the topic. "Stop being silly. You should sign up Darren for Sweet Love."

Nicole dared to tease Ethan, but she never dared to tease Darren.

After hearing what Ethan said, Darren replied, "Stop making decisions for me. I must be insane to attend that dumb show."Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Are you sure?" Ethan asked, not believing him. "Alright then, you'll just have to watch your ex-wife find a new beau."

"That's impossible," Darren replied firmly. Because he wouldn't let her attend this dating show, she had always wanted to remarry him. As long as he said that, she would agree.

Does anyone know the inside story? Please don't break up and make me cry!]

You two are a perfect match. You should cherish each other!]

Arthur had been t

"Yes, I saw it on Talie the news of Darren's breakup all day and his face became more and more gloomy.

After glancing at

playing with Rafael on the sofa, he went over and asked, "Did you know Darren broke up with Vivian?"

Twitter." Natalie nodded. "Now what?"

"What do you think?" Arthur asked.

Natalie rolled her eyes. "What's that got to do with me?

We go on with our lives. Am I right, Rafael?"

She picked her son up and kissed his face all over, making him giggle. They looked so happy together.

As Arthur watched them, his worries slid off his shoulders. He had a feeling that Darren would pester Natalie after his breakup with Vivian. As expected, Darren proved that his hunch was right the next day.
