LOGINChapter 575WindyI want to change. I want to become a better person and stop doing things that only end up destroying me.Right now, it feels as though I've both succeeded and failed at the same time.It sounds contradictory, but that's exactly how it feels—as if I'm drinking honey and poison in the same swallow.For now, I smiled at her, looking at her gentle face as she smiled back at me."I'm sorry I couldn't make it to your engagement party. But did you receive my gift?" Diana asked softly.I nodded."It was far too generous, but I absolutely loved your gift—the building."Diana let out a soft laugh and waved her hand dismissively."Of course I had to give an appropriate gift to the person who saved both me and my child.""That's too much, Diana."It was a little embarrassing to hear her say that over and over again. I didn't think what I'd done was all that extraordinary. Anyone in my position would have done the same.After that, Diana and I grew much closer.I noticed the neck
Chapter 574KaelI had just carelessly tossed my phone onto the floor. The pain from everything that had happened was still overwhelming.My relationship with my family has always been complicated. They never cared about me because they believed a child could simply be replaced.The news I had just received was that my father was getting married soon. Maybe they'll have a few children and fill that empty family with them.It's almost laughable because he doesn't care about me at all. He's a complete bastard.The anger inside me has been building for years. Ever since my mom died, he was always away. Then, when my little brother died, he did exactly the same thing. He would rather blame everyone else than take responsibility or deal with anything himself."Bastard," I muttered through gritted teeth. "That man's trying to build himself a happy life while driving me insane.""That bastard is the one who should die or end up crippled. Why does he always get to live such a good life?!" I s
Chapter 573WindyI had truly done everything I could for this. I had tried my best to make everything perfect, and my heart felt at ease.But the truth was, throughout our engagement party, my eyes kept wandering around the room, searching for Tucker almost every moment.He was my friend. Even though we argued, he shouldn't have treated me like this.It was disappointing because it seemed he no longer considered me his friend at all. He had left me feeling restless.“Windy, come on. Let's go greet my friends.” Kael's arm tightened around my shoulders.I immediately followed him, walking over to meet people I had never met before. A warm smile spread across my face, and I kept it there for one reason only—I didn't want to embarrass Kael.Throughout the entire engagement party, I realized I wasn't truly happy.It wasn't because I didn't love Kael. My mind was simply too crowded with thoughts. There was so much weighing on me that I couldn't feel at ease.A while later, I stepped out on
Chapter 572Windy“Are you serious about what you just said?”Tucker immediately rose from his seat and grabbed my arm tightly.“Windy, are you really serious?” he asked in a heavy voice.After not seeing each other for so long, it turned out he hadn't changed at all. He was still just as emotional whenever it came to Kael. It annoyed me enough that I brushed his hand away.“Yes, I am. Why? Am I not allowed to get engaged to the man I love?”He should know better than anyone that my life and his life were separate matters. If he told me today that he was getting married tomorrow, then so be it. It had absolutely nothing to do with me.But when I looked back at him, his eyes had softened, filled with a sadness I couldn't understand.“I'm sorry, Windy... I just thought you'd never do something like this. I thought maybe you were being forced into it... or maybe you still felt guilty toward him.”I let out a harsh snort. At that moment, it felt as though my pride was being trampled benea
TuckerIt felt like it had been ages since I last wanted to hear that name. I thought hearing it again would bring me peace, but the moment I did, I was shaken to my core.To me, she was a foolish woman, someone who would only end up suffering even more. She didn't even know what she truly wanted and had only ended up being used by that bastard.“Are you okay?” Miles asked me.At the moment, I was sitting across from him, and I had already ignored his question several times.Maybe he felt sorry for me, because he didn't seem too angry. Normally, he would have lost his patience and said something sharp by now.“You seem to care about her a lot more than you admit.”I shot Miles a sharp look.“That’s what makes it so frustrating, Miles.”I picked up the drink in front of me and took a quick sip.“It’s incredibly frustrating because she’s being foolish about all of this.”Miles stared at me, as if he were studying me closely before passing judgment.“Are you angry at that man or at that
Chapter 570MilesI wasn’t the only one looking forward to her arrival. There were many others as well.It was all because we loved her, and we always believed that meeting her would be something truly special.It was truly special. When I first saw her, I thought she was an angel. She looked fragile, yet at the same time incredibly amazing.What made me happiest was Diana’s safety. She was able to smile and hold my hand tightly.“Our child has been born.”“Yes, Diana. She was born healthy and perfect.”Even then, she wasn’t thinking about herself at all. Our daughter was being taken care of by professionals, while I stayed by Diana’s side.News of Diana's delivery had spread, and even our daughter's name was known—Amanda.She was dearly loved by many people, and throughout her life, she would surely be surrounded by love from every direction."Don't push yourself too hard carrying her, Diana."I nearly took Amanda from her arms, but stopped when she shot me a sharp look."You've spen
CassandraMy eyes widened at the sound of his whisper. I didn’t expect him to say that here, especially when I was just glancing at him.What should I do?I’m trying to figure out my feelings for him. I care about him and don’t want anything bad to happen. But… do I really like him?I can’t find th
SebastianTrying to calm myself down for a few days like Alden said was incredibly hard. But this time, I did it so I wouldn’t lose her and Miles again.I could see her up close like this now—a miracle, considering she had once been declared dead.“Uncle, why haven’t you come to visit me these past
CassandraWhat could I do?I asked myself that again and again, and finally I realized that when he kept pressuring me and acting like I was an object, not a person, I had to act just as crazy as he was. That way I could show him he couldn’t behave however he pleased.I knew I didn’t truly have the
CassandraI walked quickly. The only thing running through my mind was Miles. This couldn’t be real, I refused to believe what I’d just heard.While I was having lunch with Daniel, I got a call from Dylan about Miles’s condition. I couldn’t stop myself from trembling so hard that Daniel ended up dr
