“Isn’t that the suit Quinton is wearing the one he wore when he and Leah got married?“}
“I still remember that C designed it specially for him!“}
“Is he here to steal the bride? Oh my god, we’re going to have a good show today.“}
Quinton looked at me and Patrick calmly, taking every step with confidence.
“Leah, do you mind if I come?“}
I rolled my eyes and did not want to pay attention to him.
Patrick reached out and shook his hand, exchanged a few words and asked him to take a seat.”
But he refused to leave. He stood beside me and looked at my father. He leaned close to my father’s ear and said a few words.”
My father’s face suddenly changed and his mood dropped a lot.”
Quinton held his hand, his eyes full of threats as he said, “Dad, please think carefully about my proposal.”}
He pointed at Quinton and stammered, unable to utter a word for a long time.
“There’s nothing to think about.”
Patrick walked past me and stopped beside my father, his voice calm but sharp as he said, “Let me guess. You’re talking about those Home Inn projects from a few years back. You were the general contractor, but the subcontractors delayed wage payments and someone died because of it.
“At that time, it was the Fowler Family who signed off and covered the payments. All the money flowed through the Fowler accounts. Even if the books are balanced now, the source of the funds is still questionable.
“You could always frame the Fowler Family for money laundering, couldn’t you?”
Quinton did not expect that another person would know about this. His pupils contracted sharply, his Adam’s apple rolled several times and he could not utter a word.
“I’m so sorry, Mr. Hurst. This is my sincerity to Leah.
“So, since I have made up for your bad debt, please stay as far away from Leah as possible in the future.”}
Quinton was so angry that his chest heaved and as if he had thought of something, he looked at me.
“Leah, it’s you, right? You remember the past, too, don’t you?“}
Quinton suddenly remembered that on the third anniversary, it was me who blocked the glass of drugged wine.§
I walked out from behind Patrick and looked straight into the eyes that once frightened me so much.
“Yes, I remember everything from my previous life. When I died, did you feel any pity for me?}
“Quinton, do you understand why there is no going back between us?
“Do you know that Olivia put the drug in that glass of wine herself?“!
I heard my own trembling voice and the tearful accusations made me feel a little unsteady.§
I did not love Quinton anymore, but those memories were real, gnawing at my nerves and tormenting me every day. “Please get Mr. Hurst out!
Without even raising his eyelids, Patrick ordered the security guards in a voice as cold as ice to ask Quinton to leave. My wedding with Patrick went smoothly without any incidents.
After all the ceremonies were over, a video was suddenly played on the big screen.
In the video, 5–year–old Patrick was sitting in the garden, saying to the camera word by word, “Leah, marry me.”
The next second, it was 6–year–old Patrick, 7–year–old Patrick, until 28–year–old Patrick, they all said the same thing. “Leah, marry me.”
Until the camera shook and focused on 29–year–old Patrick standing on the stage.
He looked at me lovingly and swallowed nervously before saying, “Leah, will you marry me?”
At that moment, the whole audience burst into applause.
My tears were like pearls that had broken off the string and I could not stop them.
I never thought that someone would love me silently as if I were a treasure.
