All Chapters of Too Late to Melt Her Frozen Heart: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Ruby returned home by herself, knowing that Lars was not going to be home that night.She stepped onto the bedroom balcony and looked back inside. She stared silently at the framed wedding photo on the wall.Some time ago, she had smashed the photo. Lars had the frame replaced as a gesture of their reconciliation.However, she noticed there was still a shard of glass embedded in the corner of the photo.It was a metaphor for their relationship.Even if they tried to maintain a façade of harmony, cracks remained.In the photo, the man regarded Ruby with such an affectionate look. He was playfully bumping his fingers against her nose.He was wearing the same white shirt he wore when they first met.Ruby had grown up in an orphanage. The first time she met Lars was when he was admitted to the orphanage following the death of his parents.The wind had been strong that day. As Ruby watched it tousle the boy's hair, she experienced the flutter of first love for the first time.The

Before Ruby could stop him, Lars had already opened the wooden box.It was their original marriage certificate."Marriage certificate? Was this what you risked your life for?"Did you know that you broke your leg and would have died from inhaling too much smoke?!"Ruby silently reclaimed the box. It contained everything she needed for the divorce proceedings.How was she to get a divorce if she did not have the original marriage certificate?When Lars watched the way she clutched onto it, a ball of anger rose inside him.She was always fixated on the past, lashing out impulsively whenever she lost control of her emotions!With that in mind, Lars cried out, "All three of us would've gotten out of there just fine, but you just had to do something that put me in a position where I had to choose one of you. Just how far will you go to prove how important you are? "Of course I had to save Vera since you were the one who started the fire!"Ruby just lay silently on the bed, utteri

A flicker of panic passed through Lars, but then he remembered that Ruby had indeed suffered a great deal because of him recently."Ruby, if you keep saying things like that, they'll lose all meaning."You were willing to give up your life rather than leave me. Do you really think you can bear to end our marriage?"He took a step forward, then locked her in a tight embrace."I haven't seen you in days. I've missed you so much." His dry palm moved over Ruby's waist as he lowered his head and breathed in the scent of her hair.When he did so, Ruby pushed him away irritably while demanding, "I want you to come to the registry with me tomorrow."Lars smiled and obliged. "Sure, I remember you mentioning that you didn't like how the photo on our marriage certificate turned out. We were too poor to afford a new one back then, but now that we have money, I can even buy you a bigger diamond ring to celebrate."Ruby felt drained by his insistence and felt like she had to repeat herself.

Lars stood in the doorway with a dark expression on his face. The atmosphere in the room immediately turned glacial.Vera, who was not sure how much he had overheard, produced an awkward, stifled laugh before approaching him. "Lars, I'm sorry about spamming you with calls. I was just worried about my mother. Please don't be angry at me."Danya played along by faking a cough as if she were as sick as she claimed to be."Lars, I was the one who made her contact you. This sickness is getting the better of me. You can see how much Vera has been crying."Lars stepped slowly into the room, fixing Vera with a cold glare.Once, he felt suffocated by how possessive Ruby was and sought some space for himself.Now, when Vera’s face appeared before him, he thought he had found the carefree Ruby he once knew.Vera had seemed just as destitute as Ruby had once been, with the same clear, innocent eyes.The truth simply was that he had never realized how evil and vicious Vera was. She was thor

After signing the contract to accept the inheritance, Ruby was not particularly affected in any way.After that, she proceeded to buy a villa in Arona.As she looked around the empty room in silence, her eyes were devoid of emotion.Ruby thought she would feel elated after leaving her cheating husband and receiving a large inheritance. The reality was that she hardly felt any trace of joy.She did not have an appetite after that and had trouble sleeping.Even breathing became difficult.At night, she curled up in bed and silently watched the moon through the window.She was exhausted. All she wanted was a good night's sleep.Ruby ended up spending her first night in Arona dreaming of Lars.In the dream, she found herself inside the familiar rental unit. Lars had pawned the pendant his late parents gave him to pay the landlord.Her voice was choking with tears when she spoke, "Don't do it, Lars. I'm not worth such a sacrifice."The young Lars turned to her with a gentle and d
