Chapter 1

It was almost early morning when Jeremy returned home."Sorry I got back so late, Nina. There was some traffic when I took Sonia home," he put down his camera bag and explained softly."I was planning to call a few friends over to witness our proposal, but it's already so late. We should just… postpone the proposal to another time.""No need," I answered flatly, my eyes not leaving the computer screen.His movements paused, and he frowned slightly."Are you mad, Nina? Things happen sometimes. Besides, we've been together for seven years. A few more days won't make any difference."Jeremy took out a box of ravioli and gave me an apologetic smile."A little gift to make it up to you."The ravioli was still warm, from the place we loved most before we moved here.I opened the box and smelled pepper.Cilantro was sprinkled on top, but there was no parsley.It was Sonia's preferred taste.I put the lid back on the ravioli and pushed it aside, then said calmly, "Jeremy, I never e

Jeremy put on an apron and went to the kitchen to make chicken soup for Sonia.When Sonia looked at me, she immediately noticed that something was wrong."Nina, are you unhappy?"I didn't want to answer that question, nor could I muster a smile.Sonia struggled to sit up from under the covers and grabbed my hand to explain."I didn't mean it. That beach photo spot is really hard to book and I didn't want to miss out, so I called Jeremy and asked him to go over early. You know how much I love taking pictures."If it were before, I would have hired another photographer, but last time, a photographer tried to get handsy with me, so I'm scared of hiring strangers now..."You and Jeremy have such a great relationship, so you definitely don't mind, right? I can only stop thinking about the past when I'm taking pictures."She softened her voice to act cute with me even though her eyes were bloodshot from the fever.I sighed silently.A pang of compassion rose in my heart.I met Son

When I heard that, I instantly froze.Noticing that the woman in his arms was trembling, Jeremy quickly comforted her with a soft voice."It's okay, I'm here now. Don't be scared."I walked forward and heard my own slightly trembling voice say, "Jeremy, if she's your girlfriend, then what am I?"Jeremy abruptly froze.His Adam's apple bobbed up and down."I... I just answered subconsciously out of anger. I didn't mean it."Seeing Sonia's pale face, he instantly made a decision."Tell your dad I'm sorry I can't make it today. I can't leave Sonia alone when she's like this."The emotions that had been suppressed deep inside my heart for a long time surged up violently at that moment.I clenched my fists so tightly that even my voice shook."You can't leave Sonia alone? But what about my mom and dad?! You promised them you would love me forever and would marry me!"Sonia's not an 8-year-old or even an 18-year-old, she's an adult who can think for herself and protect herself! S

I froze, unable to believe my ears."What did you say?"Jeremy frowned."Nina, to be honest, you aren't even among the top lawyers in your firm. I have no idea why you're so busy every day."He paused, his gaze growing increasingly complex."Sonia mentioned before that when you were handling her divorce lawsuit against her ex-husband, you secretly met up with him several times behind her back. Is that true?"The blood in my veins felt like it was frozen solid.Jeremy did not believe me.All it took was an utterly absurd and clumsy trick.Sonia's ex-husband was not easy to deal with. I had to resort to various tactics just to force him to slip up.I couldn't believe Sonia would twist that into an attack against my character."You don't believe me?"Jeremy pressed his lips tightly together without giving a direct answer."To be honest, it's hard for me not to overthink after something like that happened."The last remaining bit of warmth in my chest thoroughly turned to ice

"Jeremy!"Sonia waved at him with enthusiasm."Why didn't you pick up your phone when I called? I had to come here to look for you."Sonia pouted.Jeremy forced a smile, though it didn't reach his eyes."I'm busy today."Although Sonia knew full well what he was busy with, she still feigned ignorance."What could you possibly be busy with? Surely you're not going to get a marriage license with Nina, right? Stop joking."Didn't you hear? She fooled around with a client. Aren't you mad at all?"Jeremy frowned slightly, but didn't refute her."Come on, let's go. I've booked a photo spot under the cherry blossoms. Come take my pictures."She looped her arm around his to pull him away.To her surprise, Jeremy actually pushed her hand away."Sonia, I'm going to get a marriage license with Nina today. The photoshoot will have to wait for some other day."Sonia's smile froze."You—are you for real?"Jeremy nodded."It's been seven years. We need to move on to the next phase of

"Say that again? Where did Nina go?!"He suddenly rushed forward and demanded fiercely.The two girls jumped in fright."Who the heck are you?!"Jeremy's breathing turned ragged. He felt as though the situation was rapidly spinning out of his control."Why has Nina suddenly transferred to Seaborough? Why didn't she tell me? Where is she right now?!"The rapid sequence of questions caught the girls off guard."Are you out of your mind? The whole firm knew about Ms. Wallace's transfer. It was her own request.""Whoever you are, you'd better hurry up and go find her instead of wasting time here questioning us."They rolled their eyes hard at him.Jeremy's brain was a complete mess, and he stood rooted to the spot.There was no way. Nina couldn't have possibly left him.She promised to get a marriage license with him today...His heart was beating so fast it felt like it was going to smash through his chest. A second later, he sprinted back to his car.If Nina had left, her p

Jeremy stood still for second, unable to process what he had just heard."Hank, did you just say Nina's best friend reported her?"Hank was growing increasingly impatient."You didn't know? The one who reported my daughter is Sonia. She puts on this pitiful, innocent act, but deep down, she's vile!"Alright, stop wasting my time. Get out of my sight."With a loud bang, he slammed the door shut.Jeremy froze, his mind blank for a long time.The anonymous whistleblower who reported Nina was actually Sonia.Weren't they supposed to be best friends?His mind was an absolute mess, completely incapable of gathering his thoughts.After a moment, he got in his car, slammed his foot on the gas pedal and drove to the law firm.He needed to get to the bottom of this.When the receptionist saw Jeremy storming in, she immediately blocked his path."Sir, do you have an appointment—Wait, it's you?"She eyed the anxious-looking man suspiciously."I saw you taking pictures the last time.

Chapter 8

Without a second thought, Jeremy booked a flight to Seaborough.In the past seven years, he and Nina had traveled to countless cities, but they had never been to Seaborough.It was a remote city, freezing and dry in the winter.Nina once said she would never like a place like that.Yet, she had gone to such a place all by herself.In the bitter cold of winter, how sad must she feel being all alone?Jeremy rushed to the airport carrying almost nothing except the essential documents.To his surprise, Sonia had followed him there."Jeremy, you're not allowed to leave!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, tears streaming down her face.Jeremy only paused for a fraction of a second. He didn't turn back.He had seen right through this unhinged woman.She did not love him at all.She was simply bitter. Her actions were driven purely out of hatred for Nina.When Jeremy refused to stop, Sonia clenched her teeth so hard they nearly shattered, and she blurted out, "If you go look f

Chapter 9

With one look, I could tell something was terribly wrong with him.He had lost a lot of weight and looked utterly exhausted. He had cut his hair into a buzz cut.When his gaze landed on me, his eyes lit up."Nina, long time no see."I subtly frowned. Because no one else was around, I took a few steps back."What are you doing here?"He looked hurt by my wariness and forced a strained smile."I'm the photographer your firm hired to take promotional shots."That only made me more baffled.Jeremy had always preferred personal jobs. He never took on commercial or corporate gigs.He had always complained that that kind of work was tedious.But this time, he agreed to shoot for a law firm—my law firm."Did you take this job on purpose?"A trace of pain flickered in his eyes as his voice rasped out, "Yes. I just wanted to see you. I was afraid that if I came looking for you out of the blue, you wouldn't see me, so I used this job as an opportunity to get close to you."I came he
