Love Is Never Eternal

Connor Biddle's long-lost first love had been found.When he received the call from the police, he rushed out of the office in a panic, leaving his jacket draped over the chair.The business partners discussing a new collaboration froze in surprise, turning unanimously toward Anne Maddison."It's fine, let's continue," said Anne, retracting her gaze from Connor's disappearing figure. She offered a poised smile and seamlessly picked up where Connor had left off. "Now, about the investment for the new project..."An hour later, Anne personally saw the partners off.Returning to the office, she picked up her phone to check it, but there was no message from Connor.Anne called him. The phone rang a few times before a girl's voice answered."Hello?""Where's Connor?" asked Anne after a pause."He's in the kitchen, cooking," the girl replied, sounding slightly flustered.Anne's grip on the phone tightened involuntarily, and suspicion began to rise in her mind. The next moment, Conn

"Where are you?"Anne did not respond, and the cool breeze poured in through the slightly open car door.Even such a small sound was caught by Connor. His voice, laced with certainty, asked, "Did you go home?"He immediately added, "Don't come in, wait outside for me."Just through the phone, Anne could even tell that Connor was putting on his coat. His footsteps were hurried, but it seemed he was trying to stop her from entering, afraid that Anne would frighten Felicia.Connor left the villa, and only when he reached the corner did he spot Anne's car.Hearing the footsteps, Anne looked over at him. Her gaze was filled with disappointment, but more than that, it was calm.Connor's temples throbbed painfully twice. That look in her eyes was exactly the same as the one she had given him the night he forcefully kissed her after her coming-of-age ceremony."I'll take her away tomorrow," said Connor, pulling open the car door. In a tone that suggested negotiation, he asked, "Can you

"Have you thought it through?"Walter sat across from Anne and carefully handed her a set of cutleries after he had finished preparing them."Anne, even though you signed a prenuptial agreement, if you can't provide evidence of Connor's wrongdoing, the lawsuit to make him leave empty-handed might not be successful."Although Anne had agreed to the marriage for the sake of a family alliance, she was not naive enough to give up everything.They had signed a prenuptial agreement stating that if Connor made any serious mistakes during their marriage, he would have to leave with nothing in the event of a divorce.Anne took a sip of water and replied calmly, "I’ll get the evidence."Felicia still thought they were just a couple, and that the things that should happen between a normal couple would eventually happen. Connor would not reject her.Walter could see what Anne was thinking from her expression.A surge of anger rose within him, and he almost wanted to rush over and punch Conn

"She…"Connor almost revealed the truth, but seeing Felicia sobbing uncontrollably in his arms, he recalled the doctor's words.'Her emotions are very unstable right now, and she's heavily dependent on you. Try not to provoke her, or it might lead to psychological issues.'If it had not been for him taking Felicia on that trip, she would not have gone missing.In the end, the responsibility still lay with him.Connor let Felicia cling to him, watching Anne's figure disappear from sight.Carrying Felicia in his arms, he felt a mix of guilt and irritation. "She has nothing to do with me. Let me take you home."A flash of jealousy passed through Felicia's eyes, but she obediently wrapped her arms around Connor's neck and nodded.…"Are you okay?" Anne pulled some tissues from the car and carefully wiped the corner of Walter's mouth."Anne, what Connor said earlier…""Walter," Anne interrupted, taking a step back. "How soon can you draft a divorce agreement?"Her words created a

During the business meeting, Connor was visibly uninterested.After being stood up once before, the business partners had a grudge and took every opportunity to urge Connor to drink."Mr. Biddle, this isn't very sporting of you," commented one of the partners when Connor only drank half his glass. The man glanced at Anne beside him, still smiling but with a faint hint of displeasure. "If you can't handle it, why not let Ms. Maddison step in for you?""Everyone knows how much Ms. Maddison dotes on Mr. Biddle. She always shields you from drinking too much."Hearing this, Connor's expression softened.When they first got married, Connor had been in a slump due to Felicia's disappearance, neglecting his work entirely.It was Anne who held everything together, attending every drinking party herself. Later, when accompanying Connor to negotiations, she would often shield him from drinking excessively, knowing his stomach could not handle it.Everyone's eyes were on Anne, including Con
