Celine spoke so naturally, as if the stamp by the local county clerk's office could be wiped off at any time."He's now your legal husband. How are you going to marry me?"Celine was silent for two seconds before walking over and placing her hand on my shoulder. "Gabriel, the marriage certificate is just a piece of paper. You're the only person I'll build a life with."After saying that, she picked up the guest list on the table and turned the pages twice. "Just pretend you didn't see the messages in the group chat. Don't make such a fuss next time. You said the groom wasn't coming, so everyone else had to clean up the mess."Suddenly, her phone rang, and Dylan's name appeared on the screen. Celine held her phone and walked to the balcony. Through the glass, I saw her frown slowly relax."It's not your fault. Don't worry. Gabriel just can't accept it for now. I'll handle it."After hanging up, she walked back into the living room. "Dylan feels very sorry."She looked at me, her

They knew they were crossing the line; they were simply certain that I would not leave Celine.I closed the screenshot and dialed a number I had not contacted for half a year. "Mr. Gordo, is the job abroad still available?"There was a two-second silence on the other end. "Didn't you refuse because you were getting married?"Half a year ago, the headquarters abroad invited me to be on-site for a year. The work visa had been processed, but I ended up choosing to stay. At the time, Celine held me and said we would have many opportunities to go abroad together after the wedding.I looked at my reflection in the glass display window. "The wedding has been cancelled. I can go now.""The work there will officially start next week. You must arrive by the day after tomorrow at the latest.""Okay.""The fastest flight is at 11:40 pm tomorrow night. Will you catch it in time?"I tightened my grip on the watch box. "I'll be on time."The next day, I signed the on-site assignment contract

"We can hold the wedding first. Gabriel, when did you become so fussy?"Fussy… Legal marriage, my father's memento, and seven years of trust… In her eyes, all of these were just me being fussy.The phone vibrated again. The driver had sent another message.[Mr. Steinfeld, we're running out of time. I suggest we leave now.]I opened the door.Isaac caught up with me and grabbed my arm. "Gabriel, calm down. You can't just flee to a foreign country. You'll be alone. What if something happens? I can accompany you to the airport."I withdrew my hand. "Isaac."Isaac's eyes turned red immediately."You're not caught in the middle. You just choose to hurt me because you think I won't leave and I'll give in."Isaac's lips moved. He looked away as he answered hoarsely, "I really never thought you would leave.""That's why you dared to do it."The elevator door opened in front of me, and I dragged my suitcase inside.Celine stood at the entrance, not following me out. She stared at me

The project at the headquarters was more difficult than I imagined. The plan left by the previous project leader had been rejected by the client three times. The client wanted the original waterfront walkway retained and flood control improved, while the new protective structure should not appear closed and bulky.After three days of meetings, we had gotten nowhere.Someone proposed to continue to raise the traditional concrete flood wall. Someone wanted to use a large-span steel structure to completely enclose the entire shoreline. The arguments became louder and louder.Jim tapped the table. "Gabriel, you've been quiet."Everyone's gaze fell on me.I looked at the engineering drawings on the projection screen. Those protective components were stacked row by row along the shoreline, arranged neatly and securely. They also completely separated the waterfront."I want to change the direction of it." I stood up and walked to the whiteboard. "The protective structure doesn't necessa

"Does it matter?" "Yes." Celine's tone became urgent. "I've never thought of betraying you. I just wanted to fulfill a promise and make everyone happy." "Everyone? What about me?" I asked softly. She fell silent again. Someone called my name at the project launch event. Jim signaled for me to go over to be interviewed by the client and media. I glanced at the time. "Celine, I have work to do. Don't contact me anymore." "Gabriel!" I hung up. A few minutes later, Isaac sent me a voice message. I did not play it.He sent a text message. [Dylan admitted that his engagement wasn't called off because his fiancée changed her mind. It was because she discovered that he had been keeping a video of Celine from when she was 18. She asked him who he would choose if Celine was willing to marry him now. He didn't answer, so his fiancée called it off.]I stared at it.[After he returned, he got Hailey to organize that gathering, saying he just wanted to know if Celine's promise f
