All Chapters of The Love That Withered Over Time: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

In the airport, my uncle Scott Miller warned me with a cold tone. "Don't ever harbor feelings you shouldn't have."When I came back to the country with a little child in my arms later, he was shocked. "Yours?"I nodded with a smile. "Yeah."-About a month after I gave birth, I was in an airplane. I was still feeling a little spaced out. I never thought I would have had the chance to return home after staying overseas for five years. Scott had told me to "never appear in front of him ever again." However, he was also the one who had personally bought me the air ticket.We finally landed after transiting twice, just so I could come back to join his and Bethany White's wedding anniversary. When we were on the plane, Alanna had been sleeping soundly. But the moment got off the plane, she started throwing a tantrum."Mommy, my feet hurt." When I heard Alanna sobbing quietly, I quickly picked her up and walked over to the exit.Once I was at the exit, I pulled out my phone and was go

"Stop calling her notorious. Quin is Scott's niece. While she did try to seduce him in the past, she wouldn't make the same mistake again now that she has her own daughter." I simply stood there quietly outside the private room as I listened to Bethany's words.That was true. From the perspectives of others, I was a madwoman who tried to seduce her own uncle. I was a witch who cared little for my reputation. Alanna tugged my clothes restlessly. I calmed her down and went back into the private room.There were some things in life one had to face eventually. After some time had passed, everyone who was sitting in the private room suddenly stood up. "Mr. Miller is here!""Hello, Mr. Miller!"A group of them went up to greet the man, but I simply sat in my seat. Only after a long while did I raise my head to look at him. He seemed to have lost some weight. Scott was wearing a handsome suit while Bethany was standing next to him. When they looked at each other, I could see smiles in t

I had been depressed for a very long time. It was the worst for me when I began to physically react to it. I had even wanted to jump off a building once. However, I gritted my teeth and pushed on.When I was home, Alanna was already waiting for me in the living room. She didn't sleep well last night, so I decided to go to bed with her early.Just when I had managed to get sleepy, I started to smell something burning. Alanna was sleeping very soundly and didn't notice anything. At first, I simply thought it was my neighbors burning their dinner into char, but as the smell of burning became heavier and heavier, I finally noticed something was wrong.I immediately got out of bed and stood by the window. Then, I saw the black smoke floating up into the sky… The building was on fire!Countless memories surge into my mind. I immediately grabbed Alanna from the bed without a care for anything else. Alanna rubbed her eyes and asked, "What's going on, Mommy?"When she finally realized the

Looking at Bethany being consumed by her own madness, all I could feel was sorrow. Before leaving, I finally managed to formulate my first sentence after seeing Bethany. "You've plotted everything to the last detail, Bethany. Did you get what you wanted?"Bethany said nothing, and I could hear her sobbing from behind me. I left the precinct. It seemed like fate had played a cruel joke on me. If I could redo things, I would never fall in love again.The fire that Scott was involved in had caused quite a shockwave. A lot of people started to investigate the relationship between him and Bethany. Only then did they realize that it was true that Bethany had been taking initiative to contact Scott many times, and the two of them had also signed a contract, with Scott himself emphasizing their relationship was purely contractual.But I knew one's eyes couldn't lie. When Bethany was looking at Scott, there was love in those eyes. If it wasn't because Bethany had committed such a serious cri
