All Chapters of Nothing Lasts for Eternity: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

There were only ten minutes left before the wedding was set to begin.Nelson had searched the hall and backstage area, but he had still not seen a single sign of the Green family. His gut told him that Jackson, Liana, and Sinead were not coming to this wedding.The moment that thought surfaced, his already anxious heart began to beat faster, as if it were about to burst from his chest. A wave of frustration and panic immediately followed.He pulled out his phone, his thumb flicking back and forth between his contacts and his Facebook Messenger screen, anxiety clear on his face.A few minutes later, the groomsman came to tell him it was time to get ready.He finally made up his mind. On his way toward the entrance, he called Jackson.A minute later, a booming voice came through. "Nelson, aren't you about to get married? Why are you calling me out of the blue?"Hearing the relentless crash of waves in the background, Nelson's heart sank to the bottom. He forced out a thin smile. "

After hearing Irene's warning, only then did Nelson manage to calm down and quickly explain. "I just want to ask her why she suddenly left. Give me a little time..."Irene completely lost control as she raised her hand and slapped him hard, her eyes red. "You're the one who said you liked me for eight years, yet now, you're also the one trying to run from the wedding! You said you only saw Sinead as a friend, but you have also been sleeping with her for years! Is there a single honest word that ever comes out of your mouth?!"Silence fell in an instant.Kenny and Opal stared at their son in disbelief.Irene's father, who had been waiting nearby, was overwhelmed with rage, the veins in his neck straining. He swung around and slapped Nelson across the face, then took his daughter and walked out.This time, no one tried to stop them.The slap knocked Nelson off his feet and onto the floor. His cheek swelled, his head became dizzy, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. He di

After Sinead hung up again, a deep sense of helplessness rose in Nelson's heart, and the light in his eyes dimmed.One look at his face told Kenny and Opal something was wrong, and their voices grew more urgent. "What did Sinead say?"Even now, Nelson had not told his parents that he and Sinead had already reached the point of never speaking again. He could not bring himself to repeat those firm, hurtful words, so he could only dodge the question. "She does not want her parents to know about this, so she doesn't really want to meet. She wants us to go home."Hearing that, Kenny and Opal both felt their hearts sink.When they had first found out, they had even thought about laying everything out in the open. If their children could let the past go and get back together, it would be ideal if the Green family and the Lane family could become in-laws.However, what mattered most was respect for what their two children wanted. Judging from Sinead's attitude, that possibility now seemed

After the Green family had returned to their hotel suite, they sat in the living room for a long time in silence.Sinead slowly calmed down in her mother's arms. She knew her parents were very worried about her, so to put them at ease, she ordered dinner and tried to comfort them with a smile. "Mom, Dad, it's all over now. I've already let it go, so don't keep frowning, alright?"Jackson and Liana patted her hand, their eyes full of heartache for her when they saw how reasonable Sinead was trying to be. Liana asked, "Sinead, since you've already let it go, I won't ask much and make you recall anything sad. I just need you to tell me the truth. When you were with Nelson, what else did you have to bear?"Sinead froze.She thought back over the years, and over what had happened before she had left Lunacoast, and for a moment, she did not know where to begin.Most of the time, the feeling of being wronged came from the helpless and confused realization that Nelson had been toying with

The forgiveness and surprised joy Nelson had expected never appeared on Sinead's face. Instead, those two simple words made Nelson's face go stiff.He could not understand it. He had poured out his heart to her, so why did she still not seem to care? Looking at Sinead's cold expression through the window, even breathing felt heavy and difficult.But time was running out, so he could only keep confessing what was inside his heart, holding nothing back. "Sinead, you're the only one I like now. Please give me one more chance, alright? I swear I won't do any of those stupid things again. I'll make our relationship public. I'll treat you as well as I used to. As long as you're willing, we can get engaged right away. I'll give you a future you can see clearly."Every word out of Nelson's mouth sounded firm and certain.Looking at his face so full of sincerity, Sinead lowered her head, her eyes clearing up. If these words had come two months earlier, she would have believed them. Unfortun
