The constant appearance of gifts from Mertens to Vanessa and you does not surprise you. While he is in Britain for his airline company, you are quietly with your daughter in a humble apartment. Nothing compared to the big mansions your ex-husband had. You don't miss him, because—like every rude man—he cheated on you with another woman -- his secretary.

He first said that 'Every man gets bored with his wife' and that was the straw that broke the camel's back. You announced the divorce and Mertens realized that what he did was stupid and immature. You got married ten years ago, you were a florist and he was the future heir to a company that didn't suit you. Yet you supported him, so you were practically the one who turned that innocent young man into a hopelessly arrogant man.

Still, you loved him, and at one point he loved you too, but his narcissistic millionaire attitude gave him the urge to treat you badly. Then your daughter, Vanessa, came along and gave Mr. Handsome enough reason to be bored, even though he treats her like a spoiled princess.

You never thought he would come back, as previously only gifts came, which was normal for him. This is different. "I fired my secretary, you know." He commented indirectly, putting his hands in the pockets of his elegant trousers. His attitude was the same, nothing changed in him, right? "And Vanessa, how is my princess? She's already seven years old." Until he finally remembers that his daughter has just turned seven years old.

Maybe he did miss you, and he's trying to win you back in a genuine way, even though his attitude is precisely the problem.
