Semua Bab Rewind Ten Years: Destroyed by His First Love: Bab 1 - Bab 8

I never imagined there would come a day in this lifetime when I would encounter Nathan Finch again.At the elite banquet in Oceanus City, he stood in the crowd with Clara Levine on his arm. His smile was elegant and refined, showing no trace of his youthful awkwardness from years past. The people surrounding them wore ingratiating smiles and spoke in flattering tones."Mr. Finch truly has unlimited potential. So young and already securing high-level projects!""The lady beside you must be your beloved. What a perfect match. Everyone here's filled with envy."Clara looked at Nathan with deep affection and said softly, "We're planning to get married at the end of the year. If everyone's free, you're welcome to attend our wedding."Another round of congratulations erupted around them. Then, someone asked, "I heard you two have been together for ten years. Why are you only getting married now?"I was somewhat curious about this question myself. In my previous life, Nathan loved Clara

Who would have thought that Nathan was the one who confessed to me first?I was aware of his past with Clara, and I had occasionally seen him staring blankly at photos of them together in his album. So when Nathan confessed his feelings, I asked him very seriously if he had truly gotten over Clara?At the time, he held me tightly, his voice firm. "Actually, I never loved her. I just thought of her as a good friend. I love you, Vivian. Let's be together."We dated for seven years. Even his close friends couldn't help but be surprised."He liked Clara so much, I thought you two wouldn't last long."But no one knew that Nathan had privately refused to answer my questions about marriage countless times. "Vivian, I don't believe in marriage. Isn't it good for us to just stay like this for the rest of our lives?"It wasn't until Nathan's parents pressured him intensely about marriage that he finally agreed. During our honeymoon, news came of Clara's fatal car accident. He leaped from

I gently tugged Mason's ear and said, "Did you forget what the doctor said? You already have cavities, yet you're still sneaking sweets!"Upon seeing Mason wince in pain, Clara immediately scolded me. "If the kid wants to eat, let him eat! What right do you have to control him?"I said flatly, "I'm his mother. Why wouldn't I have the right to discipline him?"Only then did Clara realize what Mason had called me earlier. She suddenly went quiet, her gaze darting back and forth between Mason and me.I let go of his ear, and Mason immediately snuggled up to me, trying to appease me. "Mommy, I only ate a little bit. I won't get cavities."The cream on his face smeared all over my clothes. I said to him, "Wait until Daddy finds out. Let's see how he deals with you."Mason was in the middle of losing his baby teeth, and since he loved sweets, he had developed several cavities. Whenever his teeth hurt, Logan would feel terrible for him, but he couldn't resist Mason's pleading and would

Logan looked somewhat displeased and thought for a moment before suggesting, "Then let me get you a new car. Would you prefer a Maserati or a Maybach?"I shook my head. It seemed that me getting bullied today had really upset him.Over these years, Logan had been very good to me. Those who knew about my background assumed that after marrying Logan, I would become his full-time housewife, constantly deferring to him in everything.After all, marriages between individuals from different social classes were usually unequal. But in reality, Logan had always respected me and valued my career.When work wasn't busy, he would travel with me and have me teach him photography. He and I were no different from any other happy couple in the world. Especially after seeing Nathan today, I was even more certain I wouldn't regret my choice.…I thought that banquet would be my final encounter with Nathan. I didn't expect to run into him again while out on a photography expedition.Nathan was we
