Mag-log inFor four years of marriage, Cillian Newberry's catchphrase had always been "wait." Traveling could wait until he wrapped up his work. Celebrating our wedding anniversary could wait until his meeting was over. Visiting my parents back in my hometown could wait until he had the time. Today was my birthday. I made sure to ask him two weeks in advance if he would be home for dinner. After he promised me he would be there, I spent the entire afternoon preparing his favorite dishes and waited for him to come home. However, I waited from six o'clock until nine, but he never showed. Then, an entertainment news broadcast caught my attention. [The CEO of Newberry Corporation was spotted picking up his childhood sweetheart after work! Could this be a case of old flames rekindling their romance?] I subconsciously looked up upon hearing the reporting. The broadcast showed a man holding an umbrella while tightly embracing a woman dressed in light clothing. It was only a few steps from the building entrance to his car, yet he tilted the umbrella toward the woman the entire way, letting the rain soak his own shoulder. Then, I received a text from him. [Something came up. I'll be back in a bit.] I thought I was used to waiting. I thought I was content with waiting quietly at the table for him to come home, as I always had. When I looked at him in his rain-soaked suit on the television, I realized I was done waiting.

She simply tasked someone with delivering the finalized divorce certificate to Cillian for her.Meanwhile, Cillian locked his copy in the safe.Since then, he dedicated himself wholly to his company.He did not try to look up anything that had to do with Margaret.To be more precise, he did not dare to.He was terrified to hear news of her remarrying.That was, until three years later, when Cillian finished a business trip abroad.When Dorsey asked him if he planned to return home afterward, he took Dorsey off guard by announcing that he wanted to go to Roddemhill.Dorsey had to do a double-take.Cillian pressed his temples and insisted on his decision.Some decisions could not be reversed once the mind was set.It was already evening when he arrived at Roddemhill.Even after three years, he still remembered the directions to Margaret’s place.He had his driver park the car opposi
Beau abruptly bit her tongue.Although she did not mean to cause Margaret's miscarriage, she still vividly remembered the way Cillian held Margaret that day, with his eyes red and swollen.Even when they were dating, she had never seen Cillian so distraught.That was the moment when she, too, wondered if Cillian had fallen in love with Margaret.The thought of it made Beau anxious for a while since she was part of what caused Margaret’s miscarriage.If Cillian truly loved Margaret, there was a chance he would put the blame on her.Later, it was evident that Cillian did not hold a grudge against her.Instead, he consoled her by insisting it was his fault.Although he became depressed for a long time after that, his treatment of Beau remained the same.She reasoned that the reason Cillian was upset was that Margaret was carrying his first child.The eldest heir was everything to a prominent family like Cillian’s.His neurotic reaction was that of a father losing his child. It
Then, Cillian heard the sound of someone knocking downstairs.Beau, who somehow heard about Cillian returning from Roddemhill, had come to visit him on her own.When he opened the door, she made a show of concern.“Cillian, is Margaret still insisting on divorcing you?”Cillian pursed his lips and did not answer.Regardless, his expression was enough for Beau to gauge the answer.She subtly smiled.It did not matter even if Cillian had feelings for Margaret. The fact that Margaret had divorced him was enough to draw a conclusion.After Margaret was gone, she was going to be the only woman hovering by Cillian's side.Given their history, Beau was convinced that it would not take long before Cillian would fall for her all over again.“Since Margaret hasn’t changed her mind, you should respect her choice and give in.“Don't worry, I’ll always be by your side.”The thought of Cillian getting divorced made it hard for her to contain her excitement any longer.However, when Cill
