Are Tears Lighter Than Snowflakes? のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 8

I tightened my grip on the phone and remembered that I had already turned down this opportunity once because of Isaac.Back then, he had wrapped both arms around me and coaxed me for what felt like forever."Rachel, if you leave the country, what am I supposed to do?"We're about to get married. Can you really leave me here alone?"I had agonized over it, but in the end I rejected an extraordinary career opportunity because I wanted to marry Isaac.Remembering seven years I had once thought were happy, I looked at him through tears and asked one final question."If Serena was already back, why didn't you break up with me?"In seven years, was there even one moment when you actually loved me?"Isaac remained silent for a very long time.Serena gave a helpless little laugh, her voice full of pity."He didn't leave you because I wouldn't let him."You had already made Isaac your entire world."I was afraid that if he left, you'd fall apart again."She walked toward me slowly,

Isaac rushed inside, breathing hard, as though he were terrified he might never see me again.My face was bloodless. I gave a bitter laugh and was about to speak when he slipped a caramel into my mouth.The gesture was automatic, exactly as it had been for seven years."Look at you. You're about to have another low-blood-sugar episode."The rich sweetness spread across my tongue and somehow tasted bitter.When I didn't answer, Isaac took off his jacket and draped it over my shoulders."I'll have the driver take you to another hotel."I've already arranged a room. Stay there for a few days."When the ceremony is over, I'll come find you and explain everything properly."My eyes suddenly burned.He hadn't said he loved me, and he hadn't said he couldn't bear to lose me.But these unconscious habits of care still reminded me of the man who once ran through the rain with medicine and refused to leave until I finished a meal.The habits of seven years were still there.His jack

The next day, Isaac returned to the Marblecrest Hotel.He asked hotel security to preserve and review the hallway footage outside the bridal suite.The video showed me leaving the room with my suitcase.Serena approached from the opposite direction and noticeably slowed as she passed me.Her shoulder drove into mine.I lost my balance and fell backward into the bridal suite.A few seconds later, Isaac ran inside after me.The hallway camera didn't show what happened inside the room.But it clearly recorded Serena looking down at the toe of her shoe before she left.Several drops of my blood stained the white heels.She had seen them.She had still clutched her stomach and drawn everyone away.Isaac placed the footage in front of her.Serena panicked for only an instant before she began crying."The dress was heavy. I lost my balance too."I saw the blood, but I honestly thought Rachel had started her period."Then my stomach hurt and all I could think about was the baby

After Isaac returned to Westbridge, he didn't immediately pick a fight with Serena.He simply moved out of their marital home and directed all further communication through attorneys.Serena went to his office several times.She cried, and she tried to use the baby to keep him from leaving.When she finally understood he wasn't coming back, her voice went cold."Why are you blaming only me?"You chose to marry me, and you personally agreed to give me that wedding."Isaac, neither of us is innocent."She still refused to admit answering the hospital call.And she continued insisting that the collision outside the bridal suite had been accidental.But no one took her word for it anymore.After the baby was born, she and Isaac divorced through the Westbridge County Family Court.Mom and Dad no longer defended Serena the way they once had.But they couldn't face her as though nothing had happened, either.The whole family still lived in Westbridge and sometimes sat at the sam
