Terry and Monica had broken up long ago, which meant Lisa was not Terry's affair partner."I think so," Mr. Quest said. "Well, that should be the end of it. Let's ask the bodyguard when we can go back."Feeling a little bothered, Mrs. Quest could not help but think out loud. "So, Terry broke up with Monica a long time ago? If that's the case, is Terry still in love with Lisa? Oh, Lisa. How about you and Terry…"Lisa quickly interrupted, putting an end to her mother's thoughts. "Mom, didn't I tell you before? We can't go back anymore, so stop thinking about it!"Mrs. Quest sighed. Although she was angry at Terry for abandoning Lisa then, she was still quite fond of Terry. Besides, Lisa had not been dating for the past five years, and Terry seemed to be still interested in Lisa. "Hey! What's so good about Terry? When Lisa was severely hurt, he left Lisa for his own good. He's successful now, but we're not interested in him!" Mr. Quest complained, raising his voice. "Lisa is my prec
It was a strange feeling to see Terry at this hour. Lisa had just seen the news online and watched his new video during the day. She did not expect to see him show up so suddenly, still wearing the same navy blue suit and black shirt, his hair slicked back neatly. He was still wearing the same look from the interview earlier.Neither of them spoke as they stared at each other in silence. After a long silence, Lisa blinked her eyes. She said to Terry, "Umm… It's late.""I know." His magnetic baritone sounded in the room.'He knows? Then why is he here at such a late hour?!' Lisa thought and realized that this was technically not her room. The whole apartment belonged to Terry."What brings you here so late?" Lisa asked after a moment's hesitation."I wanted to see you," Terry answered. He felt happy just sitting next to her and quietly watching her sleep.Lisa was sleeping in her usual and ugly sleeping posture, occasionally grinding her teeth in her sleep. Watching her roll aroun
Terry got closer to the bed, suddenly leaning forward and propping himself against her with his hands at her sides. "Lisa, I've never treated you as someone who would come and go as I feel like it," Terry said, his face dangerously close to Lisa's. Terry had never taken Lisa lightly. She had always been the love of his life!Lisa stared blankly at Terry as he gave her a level stare, his gaze burning with love. Lisa almost fell for his captivating eyes again. His deep and beautiful eyes enchanted her for a moment. Realizing what had just happened, Lisa tried to back away in embarrassment, but she was already leaning against the bed head with no room to retreat. Terry inched closer, putting his face close to her. "Lisa, do you know how much I've missed you?" he rasped, his low and husky voice seducing Lisa's mind.Lisa turned away, refusing to meet Terry's eyes. Afraid of losing control and falling for this man again, she could not look at him at such a close distance.Terry s
Terry's face paled in an instant. Lisa's clear voice had always been his favorite tone. He always dreamed of listening to her voice again, but the voice he yearned for spoke the cruelest words to him."You really… Don't love me anymore?" Terry almost strained his voice as he forced the words to come out of his mouth. "I don't love you anymore. If I did, I wouldn't have gone on a blind date and started dating again," Lisa said."When we were dating, I loved you with all my heart. But we broke up. I want a clean breakup, not dragging things out!""Clean breakup?" Terry laughed bitterly. Lisa wanted a clean break, but she had no idea what had happened five years ago. What Monica had done, and what he had sacrificed for her. "What's wrong with that?" Lisa questioned."You don't love me anymore. Do you love Gale?" Terry asked, but he answered himself before she could even answer. "No, you don't love him. If you loved him, you wouldn't have reacted like how you did the last time I ki
"Then what do you want? How can we end things? Do you want me to sleep with you? Or do you want me to be in a fake relationship with you again?" Lisa asked, mocking Terry."You can have all the women you want. Why must you act like you can't live without me? Besides, I'm not the only one for you. If you can't live without me, the breakup wouldn't have happened.""What am I to you?" Terry asked, staring at her eyes.Lisa met his gaze. "A man I loved once, but I'll never love someone like you again. I was hurt once, and I don't want to have my heart broken again. You're very career-oriented. You desire wealth and power, but all I want is just a peaceful and ordinary life with my future husband and children."Lisa and Terry were from two different worlds. They had completely different upbringings and were never meant to be together.Terry rose slowly, backing away from Lisa step by step. The moonlight shone on him through the window, lighting half of his face."You're right. I can h
Terry missed Lisa so much. She was the woman he desired the most, but she never realized he could not live without her and thought he could have any woman he wanted! Lisa was the only woman he loved. Terry had given all his feelings to her. How could he be with another woman?!Five years ago, Terry's decision to leave her behind was motivated solely by practicality rather than the future.Treading on thin ice, Terry had never thought of his future. He never knew if he had one and could not even secretly give her a promise. Terry's future had been uncertain. He never knew if he could regain the White family and crush the Hart family.For the past five years, Terry had secretly hired someone to pay attention to what Lisa was doing and stayed updated about her life. He did not dare to meet her and had to hold back from wanting to see her.Terry finally had all he wanted, but her heart was no longer with him! Thinking of this, Terry laughed at his own misery, his lips curling into a
Terry's face contorted with pain and struggle, jealousy consuming his mind as he thought of Lisa's future with Gale.Gale left Lisa's place with a big sigh of relief. He was glad to know Lisa had returned home safely upon contacting her earlier in the day, so he had hurried over to meet her. The storm was over, and Lisa could finally return to a normal life.A smile flashed across his face as he thought about what Lisa had privately told him earlier. "Gale, well… If you don't think it's a good idea for us to stay in touch, just let me know. It's okay." Gales thought Lisa was sometimes too honest for her own good. Lisa was already in her early thirties, but she was still as naive and innocent as a child. Maybe that was why he wanted to keep in touch with her after the blind date."Let's stay in touch, then. You're a victim of this scandal too.""So you believe me? That I didn't do anything with Terry in the hotel.""I do," Gale answered her. Yeah, he believed in her. Lisa would h
Gale never imagined that Terry would get jealous because of him."Mr. White, do you still have feelings for Lisa? If you do, you shouldn't be asking me this. You should talk to Lisa," Gale reminded him."Even if I want to be with Lisa, it'll only work out if she chooses me. Likewise, even if you still love her, you can't be with her unless she chooses you. The choice is hers.""I'm asking you if you're going to stay with her," Terry said, pursing his lips tightly.Gale sighed, knowing he could not leave until he gave Terry an answer. "Lisa is a good woman. If our feelings are mutual, I'd want to be with her, naturally.""Are you worthy of her? Do you love her enough to give up everything for her? Otherwise, don't even dream about it!" Terry warned."What? What if I don't love her enough to give up everything for her? Will you stop me from dating her?" Gale questioned.Terry said nothing, but the cold look on his face was already an answer."Can you give up everything for her? I
