Chapter 6

Penulis: Windy Nap
Nathan's POV

I was so busy that I could barely keep track of time.

By chance, I got to know a local woman named Rachel Yates. Being the eldest in her family, she had dropped out of school to help support them.

She had never even seen a rose before, and she didn't believe they could bloom in the northwest. To her, what I was trying to do sounded like pure fantasy.

I didn't argue. Instead, I just kept focusing on my research.

As my test field was right along the road Rachel took home every da

  • I Watched Our Love Wither   Chapter 9

    I immediately got in my car and drove toward the storm zone.Throughout the journey, the wind and sand beat against the windshield, blurring my view. But thankfully, my car had been modified for rough conditions.I soon spotted Isabelle's car stalled on the side of the road. Rachel and her friends were in the car too, and Isabelle had gotten injured while trying to shield them.Just as we managed to move everyone into my car, a rock carried by the wind smashed through the window of Isabelle's car.I drove them straight to the hospital.Thanks to Isabelle protecting them, the other women only had minor cuts and bruises.Isabelle's own condition, however, wasn't nearly as good. I hired a caregiver to look after her.People often started to see life differently after a close call with death.I heard that Isabelle sat by the window, staring outside for a long time after waking up. Later, she said she wanted to talk to me.This was the first time we sat down for a talk since our br

    Isabelle lowered her head and fell silent.She probably recalled how she'd left me alone the day we were supposed to take our wedding photos, all just because of a call from Shawn. She'd only bothered to explain herself late that afternoon.Isabelle's face was already streaked with tears when she looked up again. "I'm sorry. I—"I interrupted, "There's no need for you to explain. It's alright. The wedding photos just became a solo shoot instead. The photographers were very professional, and the photos turned out great."Isabelle wiped her tears and grabbed the hem of my shirt. "Can we not end things like this? Can you give me another chance?"I didn't know how to answer, so I said nothing at all.I pulled my shirt free from her grasp and walked away without looking back.Once I got home, I saw the trending news on my phone. "Stage Actress Isabelle Bailey Announces Indefinite Break from the Entertainment Industry."The comments section was already buzzing.Some people expressed

    I hadn't expected Isabelle to be waiting for me as I stepped out the next day. She was holding a large insulated food container.She said, "The food here probably isn't to your taste. I made this myself. Come try it while it's still warm."This was the first time Isabelle had ever cooked for me.Back then, no matter how busy I was, I always made time to go home and cook for her. Even then, she would pick at the food, complaining that I hadn't put enough effort into it. She would only eat a few mouthfuls before deciding she'd had enough.I walked past her without stopping, finding her actions almost ridiculous.Why was it that people only started to care after they had already lost something?But Isabelle refused to give up and hurried after me. "Just have some. You've lost weight."I stopped and looked at her coldly. "No need. The food here suits me just fine. You should head back if you're not used to it."Isabelle seemed stunned by my words and stood there for a long time.S

Instead, I just kept focusing on my research.As my test field was right along the road Rachel took home every day, she would pass by and throw a few sarcastic comments my way. But she'd still step in to help whenever she saw the roses I planted get knocked over by the wind and sand.Gradually, branches began to grow out of the plants, and we became more familiar with each other.One day, I called Rachel over. One of the roses had formed a tiny bud.Her eyes were full of disbelief, and I let out a relieved breath.The roses that had survived this round were drought-resistant and cold-tolerant, which we

    In an instant, all of Nathan's strange behavior finally made sense.Isabelle quickly pulled out her phone to check for flights, but Shawn stopped her. "There are so many people here today, Isabelle. You can't just leave like this. I'll walk through the ceremony with you first. We can't let you turn into a laughingstock."Her mind was in a haze, but she eventually decided to take things one step at a time and handle the current situation first.She failed to notice the triumphant smile that appeared on Shawn's face.With her arm looped through his, Isabelle stepped onto the red carpet. Memories of her time with Nathan flooded her mind one after another as they walked forward.Isabelle couldn't understand how things between them had ended up like this.Both of them walked toward the center of the stage with the music playing. Only then did she realize there wasn't a single rose anywhere in the entire venue.The video Nathan had specially edited for them started playing on the larg
