Summary
After the divorce, I threw myself completely into my acting career.
Aside from the time we had agreed I would set aside each week to spend with our child, I had no further contact with my ex-husband.
Until, by chance, I discovered Si Yu’s social media account.
Somehow, he had become a parenting blogger with over a million followers.
Over the past three years, I watched him skillfully change diapers and prepare formula, raising our babbling baby into a sweet, sensible little angel of a son.
In his latest video, our son asked, “Why can’t Mom stay with me every day like you do?”
Si Yu was silent for a moment before answering with quiet seriousness.
“Because she is herself first, and your mother second.”
I brushed my fingers over the screen, quietly feeling the flutter spreading through my heart.
I had had a child and gotten divorced.
Clearly, I had already reached the end of the story.
And yet only now was I beginning to fall for this man.
