Even though I did not sleep a wink from the overwhelming sadness, I still appeared at my work desk the next morning with two dark rings under my eyes. I was just an employee, after all, and there was no excuse to be absent from work.When I handed over my current projects to my team, my superior, Martha Waller, teased me, "Your girlfriend is so clingy and calls you several times on the phone if you're ten minutes late to go home. Now that you're leaving for Lunshire for three years, you must have spent the entire night trying to pacify her."I lowered my head to look at my phone. Since Rose left the night before, she had not texted me even once. I smiled bitterly. "Something happened, and we're not getting married anymore."Martha was surprised, and the smile disappeared from her face. She did not ask any further questions but patted me on the back. "It's still a good thing to find out something is wrong in a relationship before getting married."It would have been a good thing if

I went to the hospital with the pregnancy test to confront Rose. When I walked past the gynaecology department, I saw her sitting in the consultation room, looking pale while clutching a medical report.There was a small gap at the door, and I could hear the doctor say, "You're six weeks pregnant. The pregnancy is progressing well, and all the test results look normal. Are you sure you want an abortion?" All I could hear was ringing in my ears as I froze. She was six weeks pregnant, which meant that the baby was mine! Rose and I had always loved children, and we could never stop talking about having them one day. Not only did we decide the names of our future children, but we even made sure to buy a house in a good school district.I had imagined countless times just how happy I would be if Rose got pregnant, but she would rather secretly give birth to Alan's baby overseas than have a baby with me. The consultation room was silent for several seconds before the doctor tried tal

I sat in the cafe until it closed. I did not want to go home, but I had nowhere else to go. In the end, I checked into a hotel near my company and prepared to hand over the last of my work the next day.When I arrived at the office, Martha called me to her office. She frowned while pushing some documents in my direction. "What's going on? The clients have specifically requested different project leads for these projects. You're about to transfer to our overseas branch, and we were supposed to replace you anyway, but this request might make the headquarters doubt your work capability."I glanced at the documents and saw that two of them were Rose's companies. The rest were business partners close to her. How could I not understand?"I'll handle this, Martha."When I left the office, I called Rose right away, but she did not pick up the first seven times. When I called her the eighth time, the call was finally picked up, but it was Alan who spoke to me. "Rose is still asleep, Walde

Third-Person POV:The house that burned down was no longer suitable to stay in. After Jay was discharged, Rose moved into a new house owned by the Sinclairs with Jay and Alan.It was a four-bedroom house situated by the river with two living rooms. The house was nicely renovated, and there was a row of brand new toys already placed inside.Alan stood at the door with Jay in his arms, and he started tearing up. "You don't need to trouble yourself with all this, Rose. Jay and I could have just stayed at a hotel."Rose took Jay from his arms and was now more experienced in handling the baby. "You're my husband now, and Jay is a Sinclair. How can I let my husband and son stay at a hotel?"Alan stood stunned when he heard the word 'husband'. He lowered his head right away to hide the joy in his eyes. Even though it was only a month, and even if this marriage was destined to end from the very start, at least he could stand next to Rose publicly as her husband.Before they were done unp

Before Alan and Rose could settle the issues in their daily lives, trouble started at work. Alan officially took over several projects Rose handed to him. He was initially confident, as he had worked for several years in the company. He had experience with meetings, handling clients, and compiling information.However, he realized the work was not as simple as he thought when he had to take charge independently. Once, he messed up the budget amount, turning 100,000 dollars into one million dollars. The client confronted him right away, and Alan turned pale in a panic, unable to explain the mistake. It was Rose who came forward to settle the issue and finally managed to pacify the client.A couple of days later, Alan missed a last-minute request from the client. The design department had worked for three days to produce the final product based on an old proposal, causing the client to lose his temper when Alan submitted the work."I informed your company last week in the group ch
