Childhood Sweethearts
Winning Back the Wife
Tragic Love
Feel-Good Story
By the seventh year of my engagement to Tristan, he postponed our wedding for the third time. The reason was simple. His childhood sweetheart, Gabriella, had returned to the country. She had just gone through a divorce and was emotionally unstable. Tristan personally retrieved every invitation we had sent out, his tone calm and steady. "Gabby has no one by her side right now. I can't upset her at a time like this." I held the ring that had already been resized twice and asked, "What about me?" Tristan glanced at me. "You're different. You're sensible." I had been hearing that word for seven years. Sensible. When his startup failed, I sold the old house my grandmother had left me to help him pay off his debts. When he suffered a gastric hemorrhage, I stayed at the hospital for three days straight and missed my own promotion defense. When his mother said my background was too ordinary for him, he only rubbed his temples and said, "Tori, don't make this difficult for me." Every time, I nodded. He once told me that no matter how thick the fog became, he would always leave a light on for me. Until the day Gabriella stood in front of the mirror wearing my wedding dress and smiled as she asked, "Victoria, you don't mind, do you? Tristan said your wedding's being postponed anyway." Tristan stood behind her. He did not deny it. He even reached out and adjusted her veil for her. The fog lamp he had given me with his own hands sat by the display window of the bridal shop. It was still lit, illuminating someone else in the white dress I had waited seven years to wear. Only then did I realize that some roads were not lost because the fog was too thick. It was because he had never planned to come for me at all.

The Road I Chose Chapter 11 When the Fog Clears
I lowered my gaze to the new studio contract on the table. The address was in the south of the city, by the river, a place where fog gathered more often than not."I've paid my share too."…On opening day, Tristan came. He did not come inside. He only stood across the street, holding a paper bag."Do you want to go over?" Wyatt asked.I shook my head.Not long after, the front desk brought up a package. Inside was the repaired fog lamp, and the line "Come home when the fog clears" on the base had been re-engraved. But below it, a smaller line had been added.'Even if you don't return, may you still have a light.'I looked at it for a long time. Then, I placed the lamp at the very bottom of the storage cabinet.As the door closed, Tristan lowered his head across the street.He came a few more times after that. Each time, he stood across the street. Sometimes, he brought a cup of hot coffee; sometimes, he just stayed for a while.But he never knocked again, nor did he send
The Road I Chose Chapter 10 What Should Have Been Done
Gabriella reached out and tugged at his sleeve.It was a habit of hers. Every time before, he would steady her, but this time, he did nothing."Did you break the fog lamp on purpose?"Gabriella stopped crying for a split second.Tristan's voice was low. "And the wedding photos… You sent them to her on purpose too?"Gabriella shook her head in panic. "Tristan, I was just afraid of losing you."Tristan closed his eyes briefly.I did not stay to watch the drama unfold.…That evening, Wyatt sent me the board's decision.Shepherd Ltd. had suspended all cooperation with Gabriella's exhibition. And Tristan was given three days to resolve the loan repayment, or he would have to relinquish part of his management authority.The doorbell rang.Tristan stood outside, holding the repaired fog lamp in his arms. "Tori, I know everything now."I looked at him but did not let him in.He stood at the door, his voice hoarse. "I checked the accounts from back then. The day you sold the hous
The Road I Chose Chapter 9 Seven Years in a Box
It was as if he had finally realized that the box did not contain old belongings. It held the seven years I had been slowly taking back. Piece by piece.…In the meeting room, Wyatt placed a new set of documents in front of me. "Shepherd Ltd.'s board has already asked Tristan to explain the source of the loan. If you're willing to make the fund flow from back then public, he'll be in a very difficult position."I opened the file. Inside was a transaction record for an old house. My grandmother's name sat in the seller column.I stared at it for a long time.Wyatt asked, "Do you want to make it public?"I closed the file. "Yes."Just then, my phone buzzed with a text from Lorraine. 'Victoria, are you really going to ruin Tristan?'…Lorraine asked to meet at the sanatorium.She sat on a bench in the garden, a shawl draped over her shoulders. The first thing she said when she saw me was, "You've lost weight."I didn't respond.She sighed. "Victoria, I know Tristan hurt you th
The Road I Chose Chapter 8 What's Broken Stays Broken
That single line pushed Tristan straight back to square one."Turn off the screen," he said sternly to a staff member, but Wyatt stepped in front of them. "The exhibition materials are already suspected of infringement. If you delete evidence without authorization, we will report it to the police."Tristan's expression darkened.It was the first time I had seen him on the edge of losing control. And yet, he still did not apologize to me. He only said, "Let's talk in private."I shook my head. "No need."Just then, Shepherd Ltd.'s finance director rushed in. Ignoring the media, he leaned in and whispered something into Tristan's ear.Tristan's face turned even grimmer.I caught a few words—loan recovery, bank risk control, the board wanted an explanation…He looked up at me. For the first time, there was panic in his eyes.…It was not until three days later that Tristan lowered his head for the first time.He waited downstairs at my company. No flowers. No soup. Just an old
