She even thought that if Ave truly went down the wrong path, she could understand, because it was all for Mrs. Carlisle.
She also thought that if Ave indeed went down the wrong path, it would be better if she didn't know about it. If she found out, she would have to save Ave from the fire. She wouldn't mind providing some money to support Ave...
Unexpectedly, her inner struggle was noticed by Ave.
Forsythia scratched her head awkwardly, saying, "Actually..."
"So, actually, I don't hate him at all," Ave interrupted before Forsythia could finish her sentence.
Him? Her?
Forsythia raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Him, my ex-husband."
Forsythia suddenly realized that the money Mrs. Carlisle used for her treatment must have come from Ave's ex-husband.
"We had a secret marriage. But he didn't know that I actually loved him, and I fell in love with him even before our secret marriage."
No wonder Ave said she loved her ex-husband for ten years but only had a four-year marriage.
