“Oh, hey, I‘m warning you. Don‘t mess with him. Ryan probably hasn‘t even graduated from college yet. He can‘t even remember what happened before, so maybe he has a girlfriend.”

Anna was very familiar with Peace, so she knew that once she started paying attention to a grown man, it meant she would hit on him.

She always said Karl was a playboy. But when it came to how often she flirted with men, she was actually about the same as Karl.

Peace glanced at her and said, “Wow, wow, take it easy, Anna. Do you think you‘re his mother? Chill, I was just asking. I‘m sure you can understand. After all, he‘s so cute. Everyone likes young and hot boys, and so dol.”

“Forget it! I know you very well, and you‘ll lose interest in him after a while. Ah, I think Kari‘s been pretty good to you lately. He does whatever you want.”

“Oh, please! He does whatever every woman wants.” Peace immediately looked defeated as she heard Karl‘s name. She glanced at the kitchen, and then withdrew her gaze.

“Old habits die hard,” she muttered

“What happened? Did he flirt with other women again? I thought you guys were getting along well lately.”

“Not really. But even though he doesn‘t flirt with women, there are women who want to mess with him. I envy you sometimes, you know, because Wayne has always been a good man. Karl used to be a womanizer, and he couldn‘t get rid of his habit of messing with women. Actually, I can understand him. As long as I pretend that I don‘t give a sh*t about that, then we can get along just fine.”

Looking at how Peace pretended not to care about anything, Anna felt heartbroken.

She said comfortingly, “Peace, honey, that‘s long gone. So, you should stop thinking about it. People always have to look forward to the future, and you can‘t be afraid to do so. If you take this pain alone and act as if you don‘t care about anything, then you will be the one who suffers. After all, you know that you can‘t change the past.”
