I let out a long breath, took out my phone, and made a call.“Professor Johnson, I accept the invitation from your research institute.”I was a rare genius in the field of computer science.The Los Angeles Computer Research Institute was a dream countless people chased. Professor Johnson had extended an olive branch to me five times already.To stay in Sicily with the Don, I had refused every invitation from the institute.Between career and love, I had once chosen the latter without hesitation.I thought Ethan and I were in love. In reality, he always favored his childhood sweetheart.In that case, I no longer wanted him.Professor Johnson said happily, “Miss Nolan, that’s wonderful. Have you truly decided?”“I have,” I replied politely. “I’d like to start as soon as possible. Is that alright?”Soon, Professor Johnson sent over the contract.I signed it without hesitation.In seven days, I would officially join the Computer Research Institute.After deciding to leave, I went home and

Bianca walked over. Seeing the change in my expression, she pretended to be concerned. “Clara, you look so pale. Are you feeling unwell?”The dress had been designed by my mother for me. Seeing it on Bianca made me uncomfortable.Before I could react, she said pitifully:“Are you blaming me for trying on your wedding dress?”“I’m sorry. The dress is just too beautiful. I couldn’t help myself.”Ethan said magnanimously, “Clara is the future Donna of the Moretti family. She’s not petty. It’s just trying on a dress. She won’t mind.”At that moment, Ethan pulled me into his arms and looked down at me. “My future Donna, am I right?”I pulled free of Ethan’s embrace and looked at the dress on Bianca. “The wedding dress is indeed very beautiful.”I no longer felt anything for Ethan.So his unconditional indulgence of Bianca no longer affected me.It was only a finished dress. What mattered was getting my mother’s original design sketches.Ethan stood empty-handed for a moment, staring into my

Two days later, it was time for the scheduled marriage certificate appointment again.This time, Ethan had made the reservation.To avoid missing it again, Ethan came to the villa himself to pick me up and take me to City Hall.He suddenly seemed very serious about getting married.He even dressed in a formal suit.But I no longer intended to get married and was preparing to pretend I wasn’t feeling well to brush it off.Before I could refuse, Ethan’s phone rang.Bianca’s name flashed across the screen.He glanced at it and immediately hung up, smiling at me. “Let’s go, darling. I swear, today we will register our marriage.”The piercing ringtone rang again.He started to look flustered.I watched him with some amusement. “It’s Bianca, isn’t it? Answer it. Maybe she has something important.”After hanging up, Ethan said tensely:“Clara, I’m sorry. Bianca got caught in the rain yesterday and caught a cold. She’s in the hospital for treatment. I have to go to the hospital.”Ethan held my

On the day of the Moretti family banquet.I attended with Ethan as agreed.The reason was that I wanted to get my mother’s manuscripts back.At the banquet that evening, Ethan held my hand and stood among the crowd, introducing me to the entire Moretti family.“This is my fiancée, Clara Nolan.”Ethan said that he and I would be getting married soon.He promised to give me the most grand wedding in history.The people of the Moretti family looked at me with envy, sighing over Ethan’s extreme favoritism toward me.I stood in the center of attention, coldly listening to Ethan declare his love for me.On the other side, the jealous Bianca had already drunk several glasses of red wine.She looked as if she wanted to kill me.After the introduction, Ethan was called away by the family elders.I went to find Bianca to retrieve my mother’s manuscripts.Bianca led me to the stairwell.She took out my mother’s manuscripts.I was about to step forward to take them.Then I heard a series of tearin

Ethan’s PerspectiveAt the wedding, I was wearing a custom-made suit, holding a ten-carat diamond ring, eagerly waiting for my bride Clara.The entire hall of guests waited with me.Yet what arrived before Clara was the news that the wedding had been canceled!The ring in my hand fell to the floor. I lost all composure and demanded of the staff: “When was the wedding canceled?”The staff said: “Miss Clara canceled it two days ago.”My expression darkened. I retorted: “Impossible!”Clara loved me deeply.Even after I missed seven marriage registrations, she could still wait for me unconditionally.She had said that marrying me was the dream of her life.Seeing that my emotions were off, the staff carefully showed me the text message in which Clara had canceled the plans.My breath hitched. A terrifying panic enveloped me.Clara didn’t want me anymore?Absolutely impossible.Clara was just throwing a little tantrum. After all, I had been the one who stood her up seven times.Every time C

Ethan’s PerspectiveAfter announcing the cancellation of the wedding, I rushed back to the villa.I ran upstairs to the bedroom.“Clara!”No response.She had left cleanly, without leaving a single personal belonging.I rushed over and yanked open the wardrobe doors.Empty.Clara was a romantic person. She treasured our relationship and had turned every little moment of our love into scrapbooks.In seven years, she had personally made seven of them.I was nearly collapsing. “Where are the scrapbooks? Why isn’t there a single one left!”The servants heard the noise and hurried in.I staggered over and demanded, “Where exactly did she go?”The servant answered truthfully, “Miss Clara left yesterday and never returned.”My heart sank heavily. A strong, dull pain pierced through me. “Where are her personal belongings? And those seven scrapbooks?”The fear and panic of losing Clara enveloped me. I could barely breathe.I was almost going mad!The servant carefully explained, “Sir, before Mi

Clara’s PerspectiveWhen I arrived in Los Angeles, it was already one in the morning.Professor Johnson arranged for Luca Vitale to pick me up.Luca was tall, with typical blond hair and blue eyes, standing out strikingly in the crowd.“Miss Nolan.”“On behalf of the institute, I welcome your arrival.”Luca greeted me and politely kissed the back of my hand.He was gentlemanly and polite, carrying an English air.It was said that Luca was Professor Johnson’s prized student and also the top person in the technical team, having completed outstanding missions.I greeted Luca and thanked him for picking me up so late at night.The next day, I reported to the institute.Professor Johnson assigned me to Luca’s project team.I had been away from the computer field for some time. In order to catch up with the project team’s progress, I began staying up late night after night.One night, Luca returned to the institute to get some documents and found me still at my workstation.He bought me coff

Seeing me standing with Luca, Ethan’s eyes carried killing intent.I had thought I would never meet Ethan again.I never expected he would actually appear in Los Angeles.Seeing that I was distracted, Luca asked softly, “Clara, what’s wrong?”He followed my gaze and looked at Ethan. “Do you know that man?”I shook my head. “I don’t know him.”I had already decided to completely sever ties with the past.Even if I saw Ethan again, I would treat him as a stranger.I held the flowers tightly in my arms. “Luca, let’s go.”Luca gentlemanly opened the car door for me.Just as I was about to get in, Ethan charged over full of anger.Ethan grabbed my wrist and pulled me to his side.“Clara, come home with me.” His tone carried fury.His strength was great; he nearly crushed my wrist.I couldn’t break free and said coldly, “Ethan Moretti, let go of me!”He acted as if he hadn’t heard and gripped even tighter. “Clara, you disappeared just for this wild man?”Ethan’s gaze was dark and deep as he

I rejected Ethan many times.Yet he refused to give up and continued to pursue me passionately.I immersed myself in the work at the research institute.Professor Johnson was very satisfied with me and handed the latest project over to me to lead, making me the team leader.He entrusted me with an important responsibility, and I was determined not to disappoint him.Busy with the project proposal for the new project, I worked overtime for several days straight.After finishing overtime, I turned off my phone and went home.When I stepped outside, I saw Ethan standing at the entrance of the research institute.He had been standing there waiting for me until two in the morning.It was raining that night. Ethan was soaked through, looking completely disheveled.Seeing me come out, Ethan urgently walked up to me.“Clara, can we talk?” Ethan’s tone carried pleading.Recently, no matter what methods he used to get close to me, I treated him as if he didn’t exist.I had blacklisted all his co
