Chapter 1

The moment I sent the message, Landon Grimes immediately sent back a string of question marks in confusion."Have you finally come to your senses? Wait for me to get back."As my phone screen gradually went dark, I smirked and called my mother, Mable Bullock."Mom, I'm bringing my boyfriend home for Christmas this year."Even though my voice wasn't loud, Elton Lowe still overheard me.He immediately reached out and snatched my phone from my hand. Then, he hung up the call and said irritably, "Didn't we agree that I'd be spending Christmas with Kirsten again this year? What have you been telling Mrs. Blanchard now?"Faced with Elton's questioning, I calmly took my phone back. "Nothing much."Perhaps sensing the change in my mood, Elton stopped grumbling and turned his gaze toward me."I know what you're thinking, but we'd agreed from the very beginning that I'd spend Christmas with Kirsten every year. If I win, Kirsten would have to hand over her company to me."As he said this

Chapter 2

I'd been with Elton for almost ten years.But in everyone else's eyes, Kirsten was the one who truly deserved Elton.On Elton's birthday five years ago, I had a custom-made ring tucked away in my pocket. I was planning to propose to him that day, but Kirsten showed up too.The moment they met, they started trying to outdo each other. What began as a game of Truth or Dare soon turned into drinking games and rock-paper-scissors challenges.It was as if Kirsten were the only person Elton could see.Then, Kirsten suddenly slapped the table and grabbed her phone. She opened the game's official event page, which offered exclusive in-game skins to couples who entered the competition."Elton, are you up for the challenge? Don't tell me you're chickening out."The lively atmosphere soon had everyone hooting and hollering.One of my friends nudged me with an elbow. "Julianne, aren't you going to do something about this? How can you be so unbothered?"Someone overheard and burst out laug

Chapter 3

There was only one week left until Christmas.During that time, Elton went out with Kirsten almost every single day.When he returned home one evening, he took a thick stack of cash he'd withdrawn from the bank and stuffed it into an envelope. Then, he tossed it in front of me.In the past, I would have stubbornly kept asking Elton if he wanted to come home with me. I wouldn't give up until the very last moment.But this time, I simply stared calmly at the bulging envelope on the table.The truth was, Mom's illness was already beyond treatment, so this money meant little to her now. All she wanted was for me to live a happy and peaceful life.Elton seemed to have expected me to make a scene, but my silence caught him off guard. When I made no move to take the envelope, he pursed his lips and spoke first."Julianne, this is the last year. I've decided to admit defeat early. At worst, I'll just give up my shares in the company. Hasn't Mrs. Blanchard always wanted to see us get mar

My eyes were bloodshot, and my chest heaved violently as I glared at Elton and Kirsten. In that moment, I wanted nothing more than to tear them both apart.Elton snapped out of his daze, looking somewhat flustered. "I'll go back with you.""No," I refused hoarsely. Then, with trembling fingers, I called my boss, Mason Foster.The only reason I hadn't gone home yet was that Mr. Foster still hadn't paid out the year-end bonus he'd promised us.Over the past few days, I'd kept checking my bank account, but there was still no sign of the money.Mom needed money for her treatment. And since Kirsten had thrown away the supplements, I needed to bring some money home instead. After all, I couldn't very well just show up empty-handed.Mr. Foster answered my call almost immediately."Mr. Foster, when will we get our year-end bonus?" I asked urgently."The finance department paid them out on the eighth this month. Haven't you received yours?"A loud buzzing filled my head. For a moment,

Elton's face was as white as a sheet, and he snapped in frustration, "Julianne, don't you dare regret this! If you leave with him, don't ever think about coming back!"The door slammed shut, leaving Elton standing there in a daze. Never did he imagine that I would actually leave with Landon.Even more surprising was that Landon, who had been living abroad for the past five years, had suddenly returned home and was spending Christmas with me at Mom's place.Elton stood there, his chest heaving as he struggled to process what had just happened. It wasn't until Kirsten called his name that he finally snapped out of it."Elton, stop staring. Julianne's already gone. Let's go register our marriage today. The staff will all be on holiday for Christmas."Hearing this, Elton slowly exhaled. As he rubbed his temples, he looked at Kirsten with mixed emotions.Truthfully, he'd once looked forward to registering his marriage to Kirsten.He and Kirsten had been competing against each other s

Kirsten seemed surprised by Elton's reaction.After all, just a short while ago, he had been so excited about registering their marriage that he couldn't sleep. He'd even been texting her in the middle of the night."Elton, are you still thinking about Julianne?"Kirsten's question struck a nerve, as if she had seen right through him.His pride kicked in, and Elton denied it immediately."I'm just used to Julianne begging me. Her suddenly walking away today was a little out of character. I'm just curious how long it'll take before she comes crawling back."Elton was telling the truth. He simply wasn't used to me suddenly changing my attitude toward him.In the past, I would have done everything in my power to beg him to come home with me.Before Elton could react, Kirsten pulled him closer and took several photos of them with their marriage certificate."Post these on Instagram. Julianne will definitely comment when she sees them."Elton froze for a moment, then suddenly thou

Elton didn't respond to the message that followed.Instead, he found himself thinking back to when he and I had first gotten together. Back then, there was another man hanging around me.And that man was none other than Landon.At first, Elton had been jealous."Julianne, if you ever get any ideas about another man, I'll break your legs and keep you locked by my side for the rest of your life."We had been young back then, barely in our 20s. Neither of us could stand the thought of someone else being around the person we loved.But I was completely oblivious to other men—or perhaps I was just oblivious in general.At the time, Elton had found it amusing to tease me. Every time he did, my ears would turn bright red. He thought it was adorable.After Elton and I got together, Landon left the country for some reason.Elton never paid much attention to Landon. But since the latter had once been his romantic rival, he still remembered what Landon looked like.After Landon left, ot

After leaving the house, I headed straight to the hospital with Landon.Mom had remained unconscious ever since the shock she'd suffered.We'd thought Mom wouldn't make it to Christmas, but unexpectedly, she regained consciousness the day before.Landon was the first to notice, and he immediately called for the doctor and me.By the time I rushed over, I saw Mom holding Landon's hand.Perhaps Landon had already told her everything, because she neither scolded nor asked me any questions.Instead, she simply said, "You and Julianne need to take good care of each other. I'm getting old, and there's not much more I can do for you. From now on, you'll have to face whatever lies ahead together."Landon, Julianne already wasted ten years of her life. Will you stay by her side for the rest of it?"Landon turned to look at me before answering solemnly, "I came back so I could spend the rest of my life by her side."My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly lowered my head.I'd always kno
