The Love That Withered Over Time Chapter 8
Once Alanna and I were home, she whispered to me that she had turned back and looked. She saw Scott cry, and he cried heartbrokenly. Alanna was a little worried, but it was maybe because she had never seen an adult cry.I nodded back at her. "So, what do you want to eat tonight, Alanna?"It was very easy to divert a child's attention. The moment I mentioned food, Alanna had already forgotten what had happened. She cheerfully discussed with me what to eat for dinner.Once I got into the kitchen, my phone chimed. I looked at the phone and realized I had received a job offer. After passing an interview a few days ago, I could finally officially go to work. This day had finally come. After going through so many things, only now had I realized that a peaceful life was the happiest life one could have.After that, I didn't hear much about Scott and Bethany. All I knew was that Bethany had been sentenced to death, and her family refused to acknowledge her as their daughter. Meanwhile, Sco
The Love That Withered Over Time Chapter 7
Looking at Bethany being consumed by her own madness, all I could feel was sorrow. Before leaving, I finally managed to formulate my first sentence after seeing Bethany. "You've plotted everything to the last detail, Bethany. Did you get what you wanted?"Bethany said nothing, and I could hear her sobbing from behind me. I left the precinct. It seemed like fate had played a cruel joke on me. If I could redo things, I would never fall in love again.The fire that Scott was involved in had caused quite a shockwave. A lot of people started to investigate the relationship between him and Bethany. Only then did they realize that it was true that Bethany had been taking initiative to contact Scott many times, and the two of them had also signed a contract, with Scott himself emphasizing their relationship was purely contractual.But I knew one's eyes couldn't lie. When Bethany was looking at Scott, there was love in those eyes. If it wasn't because Bethany had committed such a serious cri

When I finally collected myself, I noticed that my back was completely drenched in sweat.It was at this time when a car stopped right in front of me. When the door opened, I saw Scott's face. He didn't close the door. Instead, he walked right to me and asked me if I was hurt. "I heard there's a fire here. Let's go. I'll take you to the hospital."Scott forgot to make some distance. He immediately held my wrist, but I hurled it away. "I'm fine, Mr. Miller. You don't have to worry about this."This time, he was getting extremely frantic. "How do you see me, Quin? I found your medical records when you stayed overseas. You've been to the hospital three times in the last December, and you went to the psychiatric department each time. You have depression, don't you? Why didn't you tell me?"All I could feel was how laughable all of this was when Scott was scolding me. "The one person that had no right to scold me is you, Scott!"But he didn't stop. "You also never registered for your m
The Love That Withered Over Time Chapter 5
I had been depressed for a very long time. It was the worst for me when I began to physically react to it. I had even wanted to jump off a building once. However, I gritted my teeth and pushed on.When I was home, Alanna was already waiting for me in the living room. She didn't sleep well last night, so I decided to go to bed with her early.Just when I had managed to get sleepy, I started to smell something burning. Alanna was sleeping very soundly and didn't notice anything. At first, I simply thought it was my neighbors burning their dinner into char, but as the smell of burning became heavier and heavier, I finally noticed something was wrong.I immediately got out of bed and stood by the window. Then, I saw the black smoke floating up into the sky… The building was on fire!Countless memories surge into my mind. I immediately grabbed Alanna from the bed without a care for anything else. Alanna rubbed her eyes and asked, "What's going on, Mommy?"When she finally realized the

After Alanna was asleep, I suddenly received a text message. Bethany was the sender. "Quin, let's talk if you have time."I frowned. I texted back, telling her we could text instead. However, Bethany didn't send any more text messages. Only when I was ready to go to bed did I get a call from Bethany. "I'm right downstairs. I just have one question. Will you be going overseas again? Scott and I both want you to stay overseas, actually. Your husband's there, too, right? Going overseas is a better choice."I was a little confused, but realized how laughable it was when I regained my composure. This was probably the only thing that could make Bethany contact me in the middle of the night. The two of them hated me so much that they couldn't stand being in the same country.I gave Alanna, who was fast asleep, a good look. After I went downstairs, I saw Bethany was standing right under a streetlight. I approached and stood in front of her. I took a deep breath and looked straight at her.

"Stop calling her notorious. Quin is Scott's niece. While she did try to seduce him in the past, she wouldn't make the same mistake again now that she has her own daughter." I simply stood there quietly outside the private room as I listened to Bethany's words.That was true. From the perspectives of others, I was a madwoman who tried to seduce her own uncle. I was a witch who cared little for my reputation. Alanna tugged my clothes restlessly. I calmed her down and went back into the private room.There were some things in life one had to face eventually. After some time had passed, everyone who was sitting in the private room suddenly stood up. "Mr. Miller is here!""Hello, Mr. Miller!"A group of them went up to greet the man, but I simply sat in my seat. Only after a long while did I raise my head to look at him. He seemed to have lost some weight. Scott was wearing a handsome suit while Bethany was standing next to him. When they looked at each other, I could see smiles in t
