All Chapters of Love Behind the Facade: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Eve’s voice grew louder, and she became even more agitated. The guests whispered even more fervently among themselves, and the situation started going out of control. Andrew’s expression was already as cold as ice at this point, and complicated emotions flashed in his eyes. His friends got worked up, and one of them whispered to Andrew, “Say something, Andrew! If you let this continue, the situation will blow out of proportion!” Even so, Andrew said nothing. Finally, tears streamed down Eve’s cheeks, and despair filled her voice. “Do you like her or not, Andrew? Tell me! Look, they’re all saying that it just takes one word from you, but you’re refusing to say it. Do you know why that is?” Emotions flickered in Andrew’s eyes, and at last, he spoke, but his voice was still as cold as ice. “Eve, are you done with this entire farce?” But Eve, too, still acted as if she did not hear him and continued, “I’m not! Not only am I not done, but I’m also going to blow this entire

With the luggage behind her, Willow walked out of the airport, and the cold wind immediately assaulted her, which made her instinctively hunch her shoulders and tighten the scarf around her. Northvalley’s winters were bone-chillingly cold. As for Southvalley, while its winters were cold as well, they were also gentle, with a slight humidity aspect to it. She looked up and searched among the crowd of people who came to pick up their loved ones. Soon, she saw a familiar figure. Rias stood not too far away. He wore a black trenchcoat that made him look tall and lean. In his hands, he held a pink hot water bag that stood in stark contrast to his stern countenance. Touched, Willow went over to him quickly. Once Rias saw her, he smiled and walked toward her as well. She threw herself into his arms and said in a sweet yet worried tone. “Didn’t I ask you not to pick me up since it’s too cold?” Rias just patted her head and said gently, “I wanted to come.” Willow said nothin

The car came to a stop in front of the dance studio. Suddenly, Willow grabbed the door handle and refused to get out. “Rias, let’s just wait a little longer! I’m… not ready yet.” Rias’s gaze turned even more profound, but he spoke with a determination that implied that he would not allow Willow to postpone the meeting any further. “No. He’s been waiting for you for a long time. Since you’re finally here, he won’t wait any longer.” Stunned, Willow asked, “He’s been waiting for me for a long time? Has he… had a crush on me for a long time?” Rias said nothing. He just got out of the car, walked to the side, opened the car door, and pulled her out. Willow’s heart raced in panic, but she could not win against him in terms of strength, so she could only go into the dance studio with him. Once they were in, Willow was stunned by the sight before her eyes. The dance studio was decorated in the style she loved. It had wide floor-to-ceiling windows, soft wooden floorboards, and even a w

Northvalley’s nights were freezing, so the streets were practically deserted. Andrew’s mansion was dark. The air was thick with the smell of alcohol. He sat on the floor beside the couch with a bottle of whiskey in hand. His eyes were dull as if his life had been sucked out of his body. He had been drinking himself to the brink every day for a month. Over the past month, he went nowhere and did nothing aside from drinking. His friends came over to advise him to get back on his feet, but he refused to listen to any of them. To him, the only things left in his world seemed to be alcohol and the woman who had already left. His friends stood not too far away as they watched Andrew in his dejected state. They stood together and started whispering. “What’s with Andrew? He never acted like this before, no matter how huge the problem was.” One of them frowned in worry. “I think it’s because of that plan. He’s been at it for three years, but it came to an end so suddenly,

The group flew overnight to Southvalley. When the plane landed, the sun was not up yet. The cold wind blew at their faces, but Andrew did not feel cold in the slightest. He felt as if a fire was burning in his heart, and he eagerly wanted to see Willow. After they walked out of the airport, his friends lamented. “Andrew, remember how both you and Rias Warma said that you wouldn’t step foot into each other’s regions when you two fought with each other? You said that you’d stay in Northvalley, and he’d stay in Southvalley. To think that you’d come here on your own accord...” Andrew said nothing. He just smoothed out his cuffs with a determined glint in his eyes. One of them asked, “Are you sure you like Willow? If you look for her this time, you’ll be at a disadvantage.” “I can give up on everything. I just want her back.” His friends were stunned, and then they laughed. “Sacrificing everything for love isn’t embarrassing, anyway.” Andrew fell silent after that and hu
