LOGINWindyI still couldn't get his confession out of my mind.Every time I remembered the moment he told me he loved me, I found myself smiling without even realizing it.I honestly hadn't expected to love it so much.We had only been dating for a few days, but today I finally decided to tell my mom."I had a feeling the two of you would end up together eventually," my mom said almost immediately.Looking at her through the video call, I could see how genuinely happy she was.I fell silent for a moment, a little surprised by her response."Of course I'm happy," Mom continued. "Now Aunt Erica and I can officially become family."She let out a satisfied laugh.Then I watched her nod."That's right. We've always been friends. This way, we'll become inseparable."A moment later, Mom fell silent.Although her eyes were still sparkling with happiness, it was obvious she was thinking about something."You should start preparing yourself," she said with a smile. "You might have to change the way
WindyI spent much of the evening talking with Diana. The party was quite enjoyable. I mingled with the other guests and looked for new clients.I showed off the jewelry I had designed myself. Most of them asked about the necklace I was wearing and promised to visit my store.It was nearly midnight when I decided to head home, and Tucker drove me back.Inside his car, I sat quietly, trying to relax. I had drunk quite a bit of white wine, and it had made my heart beat a little faster.Suddenly, the car came to a stop.I glanced at Tucker. He had already opened the door and gotten out without saying a word to me.I watched him for a few seconds before finally getting out to follow him. He was standing there, gazing up at the moon, which looked unusually large that night.The area around us was incredibly peaceful. Small lights glowed softly, and once I stepped outside, I realized we were in a garden where the flowers were in full bloom.I stood beside him and closed my eyes for a few se
WindyNow I was at a party.I was still relatively new to this city since I had only recently returned.The business I was running was doing well, and the problems I had faced had already been resolved. Whenever some of the guests saw me, they greeted me warmly with smiles. Many of them were wearing jewelry that I had designed.I had already made a name for myself in this industry. I was grateful that Diana had worn the necklace I created, but I didn't want to sell myself short either. I had the skills to back it up.They complimented my necklace designs, and I genuinely appreciated their praise.I remained polite but reserved. If someone greeted me kindly, I returned the greeting. If someone looked at me with disdain, I simply ignored them.No matter what I did, there would always be people like that.I let out a quiet breath.Someone had just come to stand beside me, looking at me with a gentle expression."You're not drinking?" he asked kindly."I don't feel like it."I glanced at
WindyTime sometimes passed quickly, and other times it felt unbearably slow. When things were enjoyable, time seemed to fly by, but when something unpleasant happened, every second felt like it dragged on forever, almost like a curse.Two weeks ago, my mom started her journey around the world. She considered it a spiritual journey, or perhaps it was simply her way of having fun.Ah, of course, I understood that gratitude could truly be experienced through a journey like that.After that, she sent me countless photos. Every chance she got, she would send me another picture. Don't misunderstand—I wasn't bothered by it at all.I was just a little worried that what she was doing might actually become a burden for her. Maybe she thought she had to send me photos every time she did something so that I wouldn't worry about her.After we talked about it, she reduced how often she sent them. Now, she only sent a few photos a day.And right now, I was sitting with Kael, having dinner with him.
WindyFor a few seconds, I couldn't say a word.I couldn't even blink.Then, when I finally managed to react, my response didn't match the heaviness in my heart at all.I let out a stiff, awkward laugh.“Oh? Well... I guess it's only natural that he'd receive marriage proposals...”I kept looking at Diana, feeling awkward, while she met my gaze without looking away.A moment later, I pressed my lips together and lowered my head.I realized there was no point in saying anything else.If anything, it would only make me seem even stranger.I slowly let out a breath.I truly hadn't expected her words to affect me this much.“Hm... are you really okay, Windy?” Diana asked gently. “He might be getting married to another woman soon. Doesn't that bother you?”I clasped my hands tightly together. Her words made me picture something I had never seriously considered before—what if Tucker really ended up with another woman?But a moment later, I fell silent.“I don't have the right to stop him, D
WindyIt was a bright Monday morning.I already had plans for the day. I was going to visit the Monclair family's residence—not their main estate, as far as I knew. It would be my first time there, and I couldn't deny that I was feeling a little nervous.I was going because Diana had invited me. When we spoke on the phone yesterday, I learned that she and her daughter had been involved in an accident.Just as I was about to open my car door, a black sedan pulled into the driveway in front of my house.“Tucker?” I murmured his name under my breath.As it turned out, I was right.The man who stepped out was Tucker, holding a bouquet of red roses that instantly made my heart race.Ah...To be honest, I had no idea how I was supposed to react. I didn't want to look too happy, only to find out that the bouquet wasn't actually for me.So I held back my smile, even though I wanted to grin.The effort left my expression feeling oddly stiff.“Windy.”He greeted me in a gentle voice.He held ou

CassandraMy head felt unbearably hot listening to their argument again.Sitting between them always put me on edge, afraid they would start another unpleasant fight. And as I was enjoying my coffee, the argument surfaced once more.For heaven’s sake, in this relaxed moment, I didn’t want to hear a
