"Ah... I slept so well."After stretching her body, Vivi sat up without doing anything and tried to gather her consciousness while staring at the sunlight coming through the window, whose curtains were not closed.For Vivi, whose life is mostly spent at home, these three days were one of the busiest days of her life. In 3 days, she traveled back and forth to Europe, where she spent almost 40 hours on the plane and only rested one night in the hotel."But even though I'm so tired, I'm still spending my energy feeling sad," Vivi muttered as she looked at Darren's tie in her hand.When she came home yesterday, the first thing Vivi thought of when she was in her room was how warm the night had been when she slept in Darren's arms and how much she missed it. The longing was so overwhelming that Vivi decided to silence it by sleeping while holding Darren's tie–she unconsciously chose the tie that Darren had previously tied around her hand during the hot night they had spent in this room."I

"Didn't Bryan say anything strange to you?"Vivi, who was preparing warm water for Darren to soak in the tub, turned her head back when she heard Darren's voice. The man approached her while unbuttoning the cuffs of his shirt."Everything he says always sounds strange to me. When has he ever been normal?" Vivi answered Darren's question as she helped the man unbutton his shirt."Yes, he's a very strange man. So just ignore what he says," Darren advised."Have you talked to him? He won't come here anymore, right?" Vivi asked."He's gone, so you don't have to worry about him bothering you again," Darren said."Gone? Gone where?"Darren squared his shoulders. "He can go anywhere and spend his parents' money like he's been doing all this time, and we don't have to think about it."Darren's hand moved to Vivi’s shoulder and lowered the strap of the housedress Vivi was wearing."I've already taken a shower," Vivi said, implying a rejection of what Darren was about to do to her."You can tak

"I want to cancel our marriage contract."Vivi opened her mouth but didn't know what to say because she was confused by what Darren had just told her. She thought she had heard wrong, but seeing how serious Darren's face was at the moment, she didn't dare to ask if he was joking about what he had just said."What does that mean... What do you mean by cancelling the marriage contract?" Vivi finally dared to ask Darren, even though she had to say it very carefully, and her heart was beating fast because she was afraid that if she misspoke, it would make Darren angry."Did I unknowingly do something wrong, and you don't like that you want to end our marriage contract?" asked Vivi.And, realizing this, Darren quickly shook his head to dismiss Vivi's worries. "No, no. I didn't mean an annulment to end our marriage contract. It seems I said it in the wrong way that you misunderstood it like that. About the three years. I want to cancel it," Darren said.This made Vivi blink her eyes in conf

"So this is what she does when I'm not home?"Darren still had some work to do in Beijing, but since his longing for Vivi was unbearable, he left it to his secretary and went straight home without any plans during his conversation with Bryan.The sun hadn't even risen when Darren arrived at his house, but the first thing he saw when he entered his room made his heart melt as if very warm sunlight was shining on him.On the bed, which always bears witness to how hot his marriage with Vivi is, Darren sees Vivi sleeping peacefully on her side of the bed - which makes Darren smile unconsciously as he thinks that Vivi must miss him too much to sleep in his place using his pillow.But that wasn’t the only reason for Darren's smile, which grew wider and wider. Another thing that feels sweeter to Darren is the tie wrapped around the wrist of Vivi's left hand that Vivi put to sleep to reduce her longing for Darren.Darren sat on the edge of the bed, close enough to Vivi that he could look at h

"Are you sure you're strong enough? You know you don't have to""I do, Bryan." Mrs. Walters' words interrupted Bryan's speech and instantly silenced her son. She looked at Bryan sadly and added, "I've been with your dad everywhere for decades. He's probably confused now that he has to go alone without me by his side.""No way!" Bryan shook his head with teary eyes, trying hard to keep his tears from falling in front of his mother."This time, you can't go with Dad. You have to stay here with me! I won't let you go with Dad. I won't be able to if you go too," Bryan cried, which made Darren, who had been watching them, decide to move away because if he looked at them any longer, he would cry along with Bryan, who was already sobbing.'I arrived at the funeral home.'Darren read the message that Vivi had sent him. It made his chest tighten because no matter how much he wished that all of this was just a bad dream, Mr Walter's funeral today had become proof that it really happened. Today,
