I turned back, looking at him with a gentle smile. “Let’s go to the hospital.”
The night Landon proposed, he drank a lot. He held me and said so many things.
But in the end, I only remembered two simple sentences.
“Christine, we’ll never have a relationship like that.”
“Christine, we’ll never break up.”
Every time someone made a vow, they always meant it with all their hearts.
But when they broke the vow later on, people would wonder why anyone believed in them in the first place.
But I chose to trust in Landon.
I wanted to believe in myself too.
I wanted to believe that I was worthy of being loved. I wanted to believe that true love wouldn’t be betrayed.
On the day Landon and I got engaged, I received a package from Gold City.
Inside was the wedding dress I had once bought.
It was the one that Hansen had gotten a master tailor to restore.
There was even a handwritten card inside.
Hansen wrote, “Christine, I will always wait for you.”
Landon had been by my side, and he saw the card too.
He laughed confidently as he kissed me hard on the cheek. Too bad, I won’t give him a chance.”
That night, the wedding dress mysteriously disappeared.
But I no longer cared about trivial matters like that.
