He Sent Me to Madness, Now I’m Happier Than He’ll Ever BeChapter 1

It had been seven years since my divorce from Aiden Sanders when we ran into each other by chance at a flower shop.

He was there to buy flowers for his pregnant wife, while I had only stepped in to take shelter from the rain.

After a moment of awkwardness, we greeted each other.

Aiden politely asked me how I had been doing over the years and I politely replied that everything was fine.

As we were about to part, he suddenly said, "Nina, you seem … a little different from before."

I smiled but didn't answer.

Actually, nothing was different. I just ... no longer loved him.

——

A damp breeze blew in through the crack in the door. The only sound left in the room was the rain hitting the windowpane.

This awkward silence finally broke when the shopkeeper emerged with a bouquet of irises.

"Mr. Sanders, you and your wife have such a wonderful relationship. Even on rainy days, you remember to come buy flowers for her."

Aiden took the flowers and instinctively glanced at me. As was his habit, he immediately explained, "Eryn's been quite moody during her pregnancy. I thought these flowers might cheer her up."
