Chapter 5 Chapter 5 This time , when she woke up , he would personally apologize . When Robert stepped out of the room , Evanss mother had already wiped away her tears . Evanss father looked at him , coughed lightly , and asked , I heard that Tiffany got into a car accident . What exactly happened ? Hearing this , Roberts brows furrowed , and a trace of anger crept into his voice . After April complained to you , you called to make things difficult for her . That distracted her while crossing the road , which led to the accident . Evanss mother sneered upon hearing this . That wretched woman is really something . I knew she wasnt up to any good . She actually dared to sow discord ? Good thing I was cautious and prepared . With that , Evanss mother played a recording . From the speaker came Tiffanys voice , full of calculation and provocation . Auntie , do you really think forcing Robert to marry April will make him love her ? All I have to do is wiggle my finger and make up some lies , and hell come running to me like a loyal dog . He believes everything I say without question , and the only person in his heart is me . Even if I keep stringing him along for a lifetime , hell gladly take it . But honestly , hes just a backup for me . Compared to unrequited love , I prefer the thrill of different men . In the recording , Evanss mother was furious , cursing . You shameless woman ! Arent you afraid of divine retribution ? Tiffany merely chuckled disdainfully , and the recording cut off . Robert was stunned . This was completely different from what he had imagined .. Evanss mother patted his shoulder and spoke earnestly , I dont know what kind of spell she put on you , but that girl is manipulative . She acts one way in front of you and another behind your back . This is her true face . April is a wonderful girl . Even though she knew exactly what kind of person Tiffany was , she never spoke ill of her . She suffered grievances from both you and that woman , yet she never once mentioned it to us . 21:37 My Atonement : The Death of Hi TË April never hurt you . In fact , shes been quietly protecting you all along Its a pity you two never got married. But now , shes leaving for her studies abroad , and we should respect her choice With every sentence Evanss mother uttered , Roberts face grew paler . When he heard the last sentence , he immediately caught onto the key point . Studying abroad ? What do you mean ? Evanss mother looked at him in surprise . You didnt know ? April is about to leave the country for her studies . She said she didnt want to hold you back , so she called off the wedding Impossible ! We already got our marriage certificate ! Suddenly , he recalled what she had said to him yesterday- Just wait until tomorrow . There will be a surprise . Robert quickly pulled the marriage certificate from his pocket and flipped it open . The name listed under Bride was shockingly Tiffany . His hands trembled violently as he muttered in disbelief , How could this be ? How did this happen ? Tears dripped onto the marriage certificate , smudging the red seal . His heart felt as if a piece had been gouged out , leaving a hollow , unbearable pain . In a fit of despair , he tossed the certificate into the trash , then walked into my room . He knelt beside my bed , gently holding my hand as tears fell uncontrollably . So , I was deceived all this time … And in the end , the only person who was honest with me was you . Now , I finally see my heart clearly . From the beginning to the end , the only person Ive ever loved …. He bowed his head in anguish , struggling to rein in his emotions . After a long while , he stood up and softly tucked the blanket around me . His eyes were red as he murmured , April , when you wake up , I will confess to you in person . From now on , I will protect you for a lifetime . When I left the hospital back then , something compelled me to rush home . The moment I stepped into my room , exhaustion overwhelmed me , and I collapsed into a deep sleep . y Atonement . The Deathir Chapter 5 I knew it was time . The time traveling machine had reached its limit . When I opened my eyes again , I instinctively grabbed the wall beside me and pressed my throbbing temple. A flood of memories surged into my mind . I went back five years later , five years ago , after lying unconscious at home for a full day and night , I woke up to an unexpected sight Robert , uncharacteristically , confessed his love to me . But by then , after loving him for so many years , my heart no longer wavered . I firmly rejected his confession and left for my studies abroad alone . After graduation , I worked at a famous tailors shop . Meanwhile, Robert , realizing the mistake in the marriage certificate , immediately filed for divorce the next day . That surprised me , but at least his actions didnt disrupt my future . I secretly breathed a sigh of relief . Over the past five years , Robert no longer quarreled with me like before . He also avoided developing the stomach problems that had plagued him in the previous timeline . Now , compared to his younger , reckless self , he carried a more composed , older brother like presence . And just like that , he had remained quietly by my side for five years . As I sorted through my memories , an angry voice interrupted me . April ! What are you staring at ? Your phone has been ringing for a long time , is it for me , the boss , to answer it ?
