Dominic grabbed his phone , his fingers trembling slightly from the force as he booked a flight . The flight information on the screen nade his eyes burn with heat . he office door was suddenly pushed open , and Letty rushed in , her face pale . Dominic , where are you going ? " Dominic grabbed his coat and headed straight for the door without a care . he hurried after him , grabbing his arm , her nails almost digging into his flesh Just because of a name in the news , you're going crazy ? " She's already dead ! Even if you search the entire world , she can't come back to life ! " Dominic shook off her hand , his tone as cold as ice : It's none of your business . " etty refused to let go , screaming hysterically . Even if she's not dead , she won't forgive you ! This whole year , you've only had her in your heart ! What am I to you ? " Don't forget - I saved your life ! " Dominic stood with his back to her , his shoulders rigid . This past year , Letty always had the words " lifesaver " on her lips , like invisible shackles . - Chapter 11 He had been cold to her to the extreme , but she relied on that favor to stay by his side , using the word " repayment " to hijack his life . He knew she wanted the position of his wife , but he couldn't give it to her , would never be able to give it to her . That position belonged to Mia , and always would . ' Move aside . " His voice carried not a trace of emotion . Letty looked at his resolute back and suddenly became hysterical : " You just can't forget her ? For someone who might already be dead , you're going to abandon me ? Dominic , you can't treat me like this ! " Dominic didn't turn around and walked out , pulling open the door . The moment he closed the door , he seemed to hear Letty's suppressed crying , but his footsteps didn't pause for even a moment . The New York wind carried a chill as it blew against Dominic's face . He looked up at the towering glass building and had been stationed there for two days . ' rom day to night , his gaze never left the revolving door , afraid of missing anything When that familiar figure finally appeared in his line of sight , Dominic's heart almost stopped beating he had cut her hair short , wore a sharp business suit , and walked with confident , elegant steps in high heels . his was completely different from the haggard , sady Mia in his memory , but those eyes , that profile - there was no mistake . Dominic's heart began beating frantically , blood rushing to his head instantly most instinctively , he rushed over , his throat tight , thousands of words stuck in his chest , finally becoming just a trembling call : Mia ... " Mia's body visibly stiffened . She slowly turned around , and after seeing who it was , the color drained from her face instantly . A flash of surprise crossed her eyes , then she regained her composure , looking at him like a stranger . le reached out to embrace her but froze mid - air when he saw her step back . Mr. Cross , please conduct yourself appropriately . " Her voice was terrifyingly calm . That " Mr. Cross " was like a knife , stabbing viciously into Dominic's heart . He looked at the coldness in her eyes - there was no love , no hate , not even a ripple of emotion , only complete estrangement His chest felt blocked by something , making it hard to breathe . He frantically pulled out the wedding ring he had been carrying with him from his pocket and knelt on one knee : " Mia , I was wrong . I was deceived by Letty . After you disappeared , I learned the truth . Please forgive me - come home with me , okay ? " His voice carried pleading , his eyes reddening . A year's worth of longing and guilt poured out in this moment . Chapter 13 Passersby began to stop and watch , some even taking out their phones to record . Mia's expression showed no change , her voice remaining indifferent . ' We're already over .

Mia , look at me - give me another chance ... " A cold male voice came from behind them . Let her go ! " Before Dominic could react , a heavy punch landed squarely on his face . le staggered and fell , sprawling on the ground in a sorry state , blood seeping from the corner of his mouth . ooking up , he saw a tall man standing protectively in front of Mia Mia walked to the man's side , naturally taking his hand , and for the first time showed a hint of emotion when looking at Dominic . Mr. Cross , please conduct yourself appropriately . " I already have a new life and someone I want to cherish . " Please don't appear before me again or disturb our lives . " ifter speaking , she didn't spare him another glance and walked away hand in hand with the man beside her . Jominic knelt on the ground , still clutching the ring bax tightly .
