Se connecterTuckerBefore I could say anything else, he had already ended the call.I realized that what I was doing was indeed annoying; I really shouldn’t have disturbed their honeymoon time. It’s just that I felt extremely irritated because Windy kept trying to bother me.“Ah… yeah, I should just ignore her.”I pressed my forehead with my fingers for quite a long time, trying to calm myself down.Windy was a childhood friend of ours from elementary school. Miles wasn’t actually close to her, but I was the one who was somewhat close to Windy because our parents often met for business matters.Since we were young, she had always tried to get close to Miles, saying that he was amazing and admirable.I never understood why she admired Miles more than me. She never once praised me.“She should really move on already.”I let out a small sigh. I mean, I really didn’t expect that after more than five years without seeing her, she would show up again and this time complain about Miles being married.I
MilesTime seemed to pass incredibly fast because I was spending it with Diana.For the past few days, we had been enjoying our lives in complete privacy, free from people trying to pry into our affairs or chase stories about us.Staying on a private island had definitely been the right choice.Even though it was a private island, it was fully equipped with every facility we could need.There were doctors and nurses, security personnel, chefs, gardeners, and much more.I repeatedly made sure that everything was in perfect order because I didn't want anything to happen to Diana.Just like now.“I don't feel like eating anything right now.”Diana didn't even look up from the book she was reading.She answered me without taking her eyes off the page, which only made my worry grow.“If you don't eat at least a little, you could get sick, Diana.”I pushed the plate I was holding toward her once again.Diana let out a sigh and finally lifted her gaze from the book in her hands.Now, I thoug
DianaI touched his face with trembling hands. This shouldn't have happened. I had ended up hurting him instead.“Calm down. It's okay. The most important thing is that you didn't fall.”He held my hand firmly and helped me to my feet. Everything he did was focused solely on me. Every time I tried to speak, he silenced me with a soft “shh.”All of his attention was on making sure I was okay.Eventually, we made it to the bed. He carefully checked both of my legs, making sure I hadn't bumped into anything.As he lifted his head, he looked at me.“Are you absolutely sure you didn't hit anything, Diana?”“Yes, but right now, we need to treat the cut on your forehead.” I couldn't even blink. Even though he had already wiped the blood away, the wound was still clearly visible.It had to hurt.“Now... please, let me treat it now.” My voice trembled as I struggled to hold back the emotions I had been suppressing.“Alright. You can take care of it now.”He wasn't angry with me. Instead, he le
DianaThe sound of the waves around me was incredibly soothing. Being away from the crowds like this was truly peaceful, especially since I was here with Miles.I could feel the gentle breeze brushing against my skin, the deep blue sea stretching before me, and the seagulls soaring around the beach.Half-lying on the white sand, I smiled and breathed in a slow, steady rhythm.“Would you like some more juice, Diana?” he asked, glancing at the glass in my hand.I shook my head. I had already had more than enough orange juice while relaxing here.“Do you like this place?”Miles asked as if he wanted to make sure everything was enjoyable for me.“Yes. The place your great-grandfather gave you is absolutely wonderful.”I tucked the strands of hair blown by the wind behind my ear and smiled. Ever since Miles told me about this place, I had wanted to visit it.And when I saw the many articles discussing our honeymoon, they all wondered where we would spend it. Many assumed we would be travel
DianaTo be honest, I felt a little awkward in this situation, even though I could honestly say that I was very happy.The reason I felt awkward was that I seemed to have no guests of my own.And the influential people attending the wedding kept looking at me in a way that made me slightly uncomfortable.Miles has a very large family, and the way they welcomed me as one of their own was incredibly warm.They never looked down on me, and because of that, I sometimes felt that I had been overthinking things.Miles gently stroked my hand. It seemed he had noticed my mood because he leaned closer and whispered in my ear.“Everything's okay, Diana.”Startled for a moment by his words, I nodded.“Yes. I'm very happy, and everything is fine.”We continued walking together. People were still coming over to congratulate us.As much as possible, I smiled at them, showing them that I was a very happy bride.“Diana!”Gisele raised her hand and hurried toward me.I noticed that her makeup was slig
MilesBefore the wedding began, I met with Dad Dylan. I was always happy whenever I saw him because we had always been incredibly close.I knew that his relationship with my mom had been difficult in the past, but despite everything they had gone through, it had never diminished the bond between them.My relationship with Dad Dylan was also very close—almost like that of a real father and son. We often met to discuss business together, and on the night before the wedding, I spent my time with both of my dads.“Marriage isn't easy, but don't act selfishly,” Dad Dylan said.I glanced at him. He casually sipped his gin beside me, even though he had been forbidding me from drinking it all evening.“If you truly love her, you'll naturally want to give in sometimes. No matter what happens, my heart could never win against hers,” my dad said.He looked up at the sky, carrying an air of remarkable calmness.As his son, I knew very well that Dad had never fought with Mom. Even when he had alre
CassandraThis situation was completely unexpected, and I felt like I had just been caught doing something wrong, panic rising inside me.Maria looked at me, her expression hard, but I could sense the sadness in her eyes.“Maria—”“We need to talk, Maria.” Dylan immediately took action.It was the
CassandraThis wasn’t actually my wish, to be here. My body had been severely drained of energy over the past few days with everything that had happened.But in the end, I came, because once again I had to admit that I couldn’t completely ignore Grandpa’s request.In the past, he had been very kind
CassandraThe pressure I had been feeling earlier had lessened. My awkwardness had faded too. There was no point in avoiding what had happened in the past, it had already happened.I was simply trying to focus on the present and the future. It would be okay.I watched the green leaves swaying in th
Dylan“Hey, where are you going?” George’s voice was full of shock.I looked at him; he had stopped opening the documents in front of him and stared at me with obvious confusion.“Miles just called me.”He stayed silent, but his gaze remained fixed on me.“He asked me to pick him up.” I exhaled hea
