On the last day of the deadline for the loan repayment, I went to Liam Sommer's stepsister, Christine Sommer, to ask for the 300,000 dollars I had lent her. The next day, Liam threw a ledger I had never seen before in front of me. Liam said, "On your birthday last year, I transferred 8,100 dollars to you. On our tenth anniversary, I transferred 108,000 dollars to you. Also, at the beginning of every month, I transfer 20,000 dollars to you for your living expenses. You must pay me back by the end of today." I froze, but Liam smiled without a hint of warmth. "What’s wrong? You can't afford to repay me? Evelyn Lancaster, you shouldn't have given Christy trouble. This is my lesson to you. If you don't pay me back today, let's not meet for the next three years, and don't come looking for me." Over the next three years, I never saw Liam again, nor did I go looking for him. While he and Christine traveled around the world and wore couple rings, I married my childhood friend in front of our family and friends. While he and Christine walked along the beach and kissed, I moved into a new house with my husband, our cat, and our dog. Everything was moving along smoothly, but why was Liam standing under the window of my house in the middle of the night, crying and saying that he was unhappy?

What was he confused about?"Evelyn, are you kidding me? Didn't you say you only wanted to marry me?" Liam asked.I indifferently responded to his angry questioning. "Yes, I wanted to marry you very much in the past, but what did you do?"Liam fell into a trance again. Was he thinking about our earlier days?During university, he was being lovey-dovey with me while enjoying flirting with Christine. When my mother died, his mind was so preoccupied with Christine that he would not even give me a promise. When Christine came back, he left me and got together with Christine without a second thought. Now that he was tired of Christine, he thought about me.However, why should I put up with all this and wait for him?Liam lost heart. "You and him... When did this happen?"I told him the truth. "Two years ago. We got together two years ago. While you took Christine around the world, we got married in front of our family and friends. While you and Christine were walking along the beach

"That's not what I meant." With a sigh, I decided to come clean. "Andrew, I've been with Liam for ten years. Do you know what ten years means? We had a relationship. We did everything when we were in love. And you don't have to take my father's words to heart. I don't want this to bind you..."I brought Andrew home that day.His breath tickled my neck. "Evie, I don't care. All I care about is whether you and Liam are over. I meant what I said to Mr. Lancaster."After a while, I heard my trembling voice. "Me and him are over and done with."Many kisses fell on me, overwhelming me. Even the lights would shy away. In the darkness, Andrew and I were extremely close to each other.Since Andrew and I confirmed our relationship, he had been planning our wedding. Unexpectedly, the preparation took two years.Time flew by. Everything was on the right track during the past two years.My father fought cancer optimistically and was finally cured and discharged from the hospital. My wedding

Liam also texted me today.Liam: [Still asleep? Did you see the messages I sent you? Why won't you answer me?]He also texted the day after tomorrow. Liam: [Did you water my flowers at home?]Half a month later, he also texted me.Liam: [Evelyn, that’s enough. I asked you to reflect on your mistake. It's alright if you don't recognize your mistake, but how dare you get angry with me and deliberately not respond to my messages?!]I smiled wryly, thinking, 'Liam, why don't you get it? I’ve already broken up with you.'With a swipe of my finger, I blocked Liam.Hearing my father calling me, I looked up into Andrew's smiling face.My father said, "Before her mother died, her biggest wish was to see Evie get what she wanted and not be let down by the people she loved. Evie kept it a secret from me, but I knew Liam was unreliable!"Tears welled up in my eyes. Since my father got sick, I had not talked to him about me and Liam. I pretended to smile and look happy in front of my fat

Andrew asked, "Evie, I heard... Never mind. It's almost noon. Why don't we have lunch together?"Andrew switched shifts and took me back to his place. His place was near the hospital and coincidentally right above mine. Andrew did not seem surprised. It was as if he had known all along."What a coincidence. We're neighbors from now on," I said.Andrew opened the door to enter and took a new pair of women's slippers out of the drawer.I was a little surprised.He scratched his head unnaturally. "It's brand new. No one has ever worn it. Don't worry. No other girls have been here either."I leaned over to put on the slippers a little stiffly.Andrew coughed softly, "I switched my shift this afternoon. Would you like to hang out with me? Maybe you have something to buy?"I agreed. "I haven't explored this area yet."I bought something at every store in the mall. My father's illness would probably need me to stay in Southernville for a long time.Every time I tried to make payment

The day my father was transferred, Southernville's sky was particularly blue.After watching my father finish his lunch, I began searching for a house and moving things with full motivation.It was weird. I had never been to Southernville, but the city seemed tolerant of me. In less than an hour, I found the house I wanted. Besides that, it was cheap and in a good location.My father's condition quickly improved, and he could even talk to me for half a day. It made me look forward to the new life and become more motivated.Looking at my father's tortured body, my eyes reddened. I chose my university in Oceania for Liam, regardless of my parents' feelings. My parents had no choice but to sell their home and move with me to Oceania, which was 400 kilometers away.Who would have thought that life would become more and more unsatisfying with each passing year after arriving in Oceania?Even after my mother died, she had to travel 400 kilometers to her hometown and return to her roots

Thirteen years was three years more than ten, not to mention that I was in love with him for ten of those thirteen years. Thirteen years, and I had not even earned his trust. Thirteen ridiculous years.I did not want to argue, so I answered hoarsely. "Leave."Liam only paused for a second before opening the door and leaving without a word.I was wheeled into an ambulance and taken to the hospital alone.Liam had pushed me so hard and so suddenly that I not only sprained my ankle, but also broke my hand.A week later, I dragged my exhausted body out of the hospital.When I got home, I looked at where Liam and I had lived for ten years. We moved here after high school, which was also our first year of university. We selected and placed everything in the house together. Even the cross-stitched photo of us hanging on the wall was something we made together little by little in our spare time.All of the wonderful memories in the past ten years had turned into a sharp knife piercing m

When I woke up in the morning, Liam had already moved out with his stuff.Half the house was suddenly empty, and I could not get used to it.After finishing breakfast, I planned to visit my father at the hospital.After a full day and night of persistence, my father was finally admitted to the intensive care unit. All I could do was look at his frail face through the glass.A man said, "When his condition stabilizes, he can be transferred to a regular ward. After that, he can continue chemotherapy."Not knowing how to respond, I only replied, "Thank you."A warm hand landed gently on the top of my head. Before I could react, I found myself looking into a pair of deep, familiar eyes.The man comforted me, saying, "Don't worry. Mr. Lancaster will be fine. Even though it's terminal stomach cancer, there's still a 30% to 50% chance of recovery. You need to have faith in him and in the doctors."Strangely, I felt a sense of security.I took the elevator downstairs and ran into Chri

As I slid down against the elevator wall, my tears dripped onto my hand.A month ago, Liam's long-lost stepsister, Christine, showed up at our door.In the private room, Christine wore a white slip dress. She bit her lip while her eyes were red. "Liam, I'm sorry. I won't pester you anymore, but I desperately need that 300,000 dollars for an emergency. Just one month, I'll pay you back after one month! I can even write an IOU. I beg you…"No matter how much Christine pleaded, Liam remained expressionless. However, I could sense something was unusual about him. Due to his restraint, his grip on my right hand tightened unconsciously.The sharp pain in my wrist made me scream, "Ouch!"Liam did not seem to hear me.It was eventually Christine who lunged forward to grab Liam's other hand, making him loosen his grip slowly. However, he also angrily pushed Christine away. "Who allowed you to touch me?"Startled, Christine stammered an apology.Liam eventually blamed it on me. "You want

A thick ledger was thrown in front of me. Each page recorded the money Liam Sommer had transferred to me over the past ten years. Even the time of each transaction was recorded.Liam said, "On your birthday last year, I transferred 8,100 dollars to you.
