Semua Bab No Complaints, No Words: Bab 1 - Bab 8

“Ms. Zoeller, honestly, your secret romance with him is so enviable. Now that the baby has even passed their one-month mark, it’s worth celebrating.“None of the other students even know that you two have been together for the past three years. You’ve really kept him under wraps.”My wife, Shiloh, laughed cheerfully with her students.Three years, huh?The news devastated me. I felt hollow, and my heart ached.Just then, I received a message from her. [Honey, I still have to handle some matters at the university. After you land, just grab a cab and head home, okay?]Home? It seemed like the university was just as much of a home to her.The students began playing with the baby in her arms. Shiloh said the child’s name was Conrad.My heartache worsened. That was the name she and I had chosen together for our future child.“Honey, I want a little boy. He’ll be as smart and sharp as you. I don’t mind it if he’s a little troublemaker.”“Okay then, Conrad it is. He’ll be as gentl

At the graduation ceremony, everyone focused on Shiloh and Easton.“I heard Ms. Zoeller had Easton’s kid. But hey, they’re both single. They actually make a cute couple.”“They’re probably getting married soon, right? Easton graduates today. The next time we see them, it’ll be to toast at their wedding!”While I sat in a corner and listened, I realized that Shiloh had never mentioned her married status to anyone.Was I so embarrassing to her that she could not even bring herself to say it?Easton, wearing his graduation gown, did not hesitate to wrap his arm around Shiloh’s waist in front of the cameras.He looked just like a husband in a long-term marriage.Cheers erupted from the audience.“Propose to her already!”Easton soaked it all in. He stared at me in the audience with a smug smile.Meanwhile, Shiloh seemed to have forgotten she was married. She looked at Easton with doting eyes, like a girl in the throes of first love.I could no longer stand the absurd scene. I st

Third-Person POVAt the same time, Shiloh was in the hospital room taking care of the frightened Easton.Just then, the university called her.“Ms. Zoeller, check your phone right now. There’s a video of you online that’s already gone completely viral!”It was surveillance footage from near the psychiatric hospital.Shiloh frowned and clicked on the video link.In the footage, Dolores fell from a height of over ninety-eight floors and landed in a twisted posture.She landed directly on top of a car. The scene was horrifying.“H-How is this even possible?”Shiloh’s face turned pale.The sounds of sirens and rescue efforts in the video gradually became muffled in her ears.“Didn’t she just take you hostage a minute ago? How could she suddenly fall from the building?”Easton, who was lying in a hospital bed, glanced at it and pretended to be frightened.“Exactly. She was trying to stab me with a knife just now. Besides, Cillian was in the room too. There’s no way something li

Cillian's POVBack at the Jaques family’s mansion, everything remained unchanged.The maid, Catherine, who once took care of me, had gray hair. Tears filled her eyes when she saw me.“Cillian, Mr. Jaques has talked about you all these years. He’s even worried himself sick over it.”I lowered my gaze and smiled bitterly.“Wasn’t he cold and heartless when he abandoned my mom and me back then? What good is regret that comes this late?”I touched the cold cremation urn.“She’s not even here anymore...”Catherine patted my shoulder and spoke about my mother.“The truth is, Mr. Jaques has always regretted not keeping Mrs. Jaques. Within just a year, he divorced that other woman. He has never looked at another woman after that.“When she passed away, Mr. Jaques nearly ended up in the hospital when he heard the news. That just shows he really did love your mother.”I was only five years old when my father abandoned my mother and me.Back then, the words I heard my mother say most
