Chapter 2 The third time was when the truck came hurtling toward us . He pulled me into his arms , shielding me from the impact . A shard of glass pierced the back of his head , while I , protected in his embrace , escaped with nothing but scratches . Three times , he had saved me with his life .. How could I ever stop loving him ? Robert grew impatient at my silence . So , are you coming to see the meteor shower or not ? I snapped out of my thoughts and smiled at him . Lets watch it together tonight . Only then did his expression relax . He hailed a taxi . Ill drop you off at home first . Ill pick you up later to go to the observatory . Just then , he answered a phone call , his brows knitting together . Tiffany hurt her hand . I need to go check on her . You head home first . I nodded . He looked at me in surprise . You used to hate it when I went to see her . What , have you suddenly changed your mind ? I opened my mouth , but before I could respond , he sneered . Were married now . Shes no threat to you anymore . Text me when you get home . Ill see you later . He got into the car and left , never seeing the bitter smile in my eyes . In truth , I had never tried to stop him from caring for Tiffany . But once , Uncle Evans , Aunt Evans , and I had accidentally witnessed Tiffany kissing a middle aged man . After investigating , we found out she had long been kept as a mistress by different wealthy men . That was why I had desperately tried to keep Robert away from her . But he had never known the truth . And after her death , he had tormented himself for ten years . If I had to choose , I would rather let him be with Tiffany than see him suffer for the rest of his life and eventually die for me . 21:30 Chapter 2 Guilt and remorse can crush a person . I sighed , picked up my guaranteed admission documents from school , and headed home . Uncle Evans and Aunt Evans had already prepared a feast . Seeing me return , Aunt Evans beamed and took my hand . April , youre back so soon ! Why isnt Robert with you ? He had work to do . Aunt Evans frowned . Its your wedding day! He cant even take a break ? Uncle Evans chuckled . Its good for a man to be career driven . Theyre already married there will be plenty of family dinners in the future . Aunt Evans huffed in dissatisfaction . The warmth of their concern stung my eyes . I took a deep breath . Uncle , Auntie , Robert and I didnt register our marriage . Ive finalized my study abroad plans . In two days , Ill be leaving the country . Evans was instantly taken aback . What do you mean you havent registered your marriage ? Did Robert bully you ? That child may have a sharp tongue , but when it comes to you , he actually cares deeply . He truly likes you . And back then , you studied psychology on your own , staying by his side day and night to provide him with emotional support . We all saw how sincere you were . You two love each other , so of course , you should be together . Besides , you know that Tiffany is no good . We cant just let her have her way . Evans hurriedly chimed in , Robert is just being stubborn . Once you insist on marrying him , hell eventually soften up . These words were all too familiar . They had said the same thing before . But in the end , forcing it only led to regret for everyone . I held Mrs. Evanss hand gently and said in a soft voice , Please dont get upset . Listen to me first . As much as I dont want to admit it , a forced relationship really doesnt bring happiness . Robert … he never actually loved me . I had a dream last night . In the dream , Robert and I got married . But he refused to see me . He buried 21:36 Chapter 2 himself in work every day , pushing himself so hard that he developed a stomach illness . He wouldnt drink the porridge I made for him . He wouldnt let me take care of him when he was sick . He said that the pain I brought him outweighed any happiness . And at thirty , he … he died in an accident while trying to save me . H As I spoke , my heart clenched so painfully that I could barely breathe . Evans froze . That … that was just a dream . Robert wouldnt- 1 sniffled and forced a small smile . Uncle , Auntie , dreams are warnings . I think … he doesnt have to marry me . We dont have to be husband and wife . But I want him to live a long and happy life . Besides , everything has traces we can follow . Robert loves music , not business . He despises being forced onto a a predetermined path . If he hadnt injured his hand back then , he never would have gone down this road . And even now , if it werent for his parents arrangement , he wouldnt have agreed to marry me . I was the one who started all of this . It was all my fault . And I dont want to keep making mistakes . My study abroad plans are already set . I will always remember your kindness , and in the future , I will still be filial to you both . Evans discreetly wiped away her tears . Youre such a good child . Its Roberts loss not to marry you . I hugged her back , my eyes reddening , but I smiled . Its okay . If I cant be your daughter in law , I can still be your daughter . I will take care of you both in the future . Only then did Mr. Evans smile through their tears , finally giving me their blessing . I thought of the second wish in Roberts diary . Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
