Chapter 12 (Extra: Connor’s POV)}
When I yelled at Heidi that she just lost a child, I knew I was wrong.”
But I relied on Heidi’s love for me and refused to admit that I had said hurtful words.}
I stubbornly believed that she was angry because she was jealous.
Jealousy is because she cares about me.
She had always been like a shadow, following me everywhere.
I was confident that she would never leave me.§
But then everything went beyond my control and expectations.
Heidi, who lost her child, no longer yelled at me, no longer asked me to stay away from Gracie, no longer tried to tie me down with marriage.N
I gradually realized that I was losing her.
I had someone check the video from the night the cruise ship had an accident, and I realized how wrong I had been.
Heidi didn’t lie to me, Gracie didn’t fall into the water trying to save her.
I searched the city at a high price to find the person who saved Heidi. I invited journalists and formally thanked the person who saved Heidi’s life.
This was what I should do.
But my apologies and thanks didn’t change Heidi’s mind.”
I tried everything to make up for my mistake, but it was all in vain.
Heartbroken, I drank until I was unconscious. When someone asked for my family’s phone number, I didn’t hesitate to give them Heidi’s.”
But my Heidi, she seemed to never show up.
In my daze, I seemed to hear her come.
She casually referred to me as her ex–boyfriend.}
So, we really were over.”
I couldn’t give up. After the surgery, I checked our chat history, bought the diamond ring she liked. Before I could prepare the proposal scene, I found out that Heidi had joined the peacekeeping riot squad.§
She must have done this impulsively to make me angry.
How could a delicate girl like her go to such a dangerous place?>
I proposed to her in a panic. I still remember when we were in love, I told her that the stars and sea were nothing compared to her, and she replied that she would marry me without hesitation if I proposed.}
She had been waiting for me to marry her for ten years.§
it was my fault after all.§
She said that was just something she said casually.
Clearly, when she said she wanted to marry me, her eyes were full of stars, dazzling.§
She didn’t accept my proposal, she left without hesitation.
I suddenly remembered that when we first got together, she said her dream was to protect life and maintain world peace. I was shocked by her dream at the time.”
So I promised her that I would always cook for her and would shield her from bullets without hesitation.
I didn’t get the chance to shield her from bullets.}
I also didn’t firmly choose her when she fell into the water.
I broke my promise, so she broke hers.
A year later, her team went through a life and death test and returned home gloriously.
Only then did I realize that compared to Gracie’s ethereal elegance, Heidi’s dream of spreading love to the world was even more dazzling.
Clearly, this bright and beautiful girl belonged only to me.”
But I lost her, lost her in the cold river.
The End?
