Eyes Met, Eternity Set Chapter 1

The A-list actor suddenly announced his secret marriage and a child.

Twitter exploded.

And my world went green with envy.

Secretly married to Liam Blackwood for three years, how could I not know if we had a child?

Consumed by fury, I immediately signed up for a dating reality show, seeking my second chance at love.

But to my utter shock, the very next second, #ActorBringsKidToDatingShow instantly became the top trending topic.

Twitter crashed.

The trending topics exploded. Liam Blackwood's sudden announcement caught everyone off guard.

"What the hell?!"

"Ahhh, what's going on?! I thought it was a Photoshopped image, but it's real! My hands are shaking, help!"

"Unbelievable."

Netizens were buzzing, mostly with well wishes. After all, Liam Blackwood had maintained a low profile with no scandals since his debut, never cultivating a single status persona.

Just as everyone was forwarding their blessings and digging for information about the wife…

Little did they know, the wife herself had been staring at his official tweet for five full minutes.

For a moment, I even wondered if I was dreaming.

The wife was me, yet it also felt like it wasn’t.

Secret marriage?

That part was true.

But a child???

As Liam Blackwood’s legal wife of three years, how could I not know if we had a child?

It felt like I’d been cheated on.

Not sure, let me check again.

Given his past behavior, what if his "son" referred to a cat or a dog?

But fate, it seemed, was thoroughly displeased with me for making excuses for a man. The hashtag #LiamBlackwood’sSon’sFacePhoto quickly shot up to the third spot on the trending list, right before my eyes.

Seeing the child's photo, I really couldn't deceive myself anymore.

He and Liam Blackwood’s faces were practically carved from the same mold.

And judging by his height, the child was probably around four years old.

So, Liam Blackwood had cheated on me before we even got married?!

I pursed my lips, wanting to cry.

But a woman doesn't shed tears lightly; why cry for a jerk?

I looked up, blinked hard, and blocked all contact methods for that scumbag.

After a moment of silence, I still couldn’t calm down.

I unblocked Liam Blackwood, then dialed his number.

He picked up instantly.

I started with a cold laugh, then launched into a machine-gun tirade, rapid-firing insults.

"You scumbag! You had a child and still lied to me."

"You look like a decent human being, but I never saw your true rotten nature! You really can't judge a book by its cover!"

"Divorce! The assets are mine, you leave with nothing!"

"Yolanda, let me expl—"

"Get lost!"

Without giving the jerk time to react, I slammed the phone down and blocked him again.

Explain?

More like make excuses!

Just as I was consumed with rage, another call came in.

"Miss Dawson, hello. I'm a staff member from the 'Finding My Spark' show. You declined us once before, but we'd like to try again. Would you reconsider?"

Finding My Spark?

I remembered it.

It was a dating show where six single contestants would live together in a villa for a month.

I had declined before because I was married.

But now…

Heh, I was going to find my second spring.
