“Let’s break up. My parents are abroad, and I don’t want to stay in a foreign land for you. They’ve already arranged a marriage for me, and I’ll be getting married soon.”
He immediately went back to rescue Vivienne, hoping to ease his guilt.
Cian cried again.

He stroked the wheelchair, slapping himself hard several times.
His Vivienne, rejected by her father, mistreated by her mother,
shunned by her best friend.
Even the husband she trusted had mistreated her.
When Cian realized he had fallen in love with Vivienne, he often
had nightmares.
He always dreamed of that night when he hurt Vivienne.
Upon waking, she would be there beside him, looking at him
with concern.
He asked, “Vivienne, do you love me?”
She nodded, “Very much.“He felt much better in his heart now.
Every time he woke from a nightmare, Vivienne would hold him
close and say lovingly, “I love you.”
He began to forget about Grace, who had left him.
But he also felt disgusted with himself. He had promised Grace
that she would be his one and only for life.
Why had he fallen in love with Vivienne then?
He was torn and conflicted.
So when Grace returned to the country, he tried desperately to
prove he still loved her, favoring her at every turn.
His performance of deep love for Grace deceived himself and
hurt Vivienne…
He never gave up searching for Vivienne.

He never gave up searching for Vivienne.
Since he hadn’t seen a body, he refused to believe she was dead. He had to find her, tell her the truth, and kneel before her to
atone.
Even if Vivienne wanted to cut him into a thousand pieces after knowing the truth, he would accept it.
He didn’t want to live in nightmares every day anymore.
The love he gained through deception for three years brought him happiness, but even more pain.

In the second year abroad.
I had already been promoted to Vice President by Nolan. My face had fully recovered, and daily exercise made my legs more agile.
It turns out being a normal person is so wonderful.
After being disconnected from society for three years, I entered Mrs. Grey, feeling quite unaccustomed.
Fortunately, Nolan was there to guide me, leading me through
projects one by one.
Half a year later, I was able to work independently.
During those busy working days, I never once thought of Cian, as if this person had died in my world.
Nolan was my teacher, and also my husband.
It was he who made me feel what healthy, normal love is. After being together, he wouldn’t let me stay at home, he wanted me to shine in the outside world.
Our child was still young, but he didn’t want me to give up my
career, saying he was willing to stay at home.
That period of returning to work was painful, I cried and
doubted my abilities.
He watched all of this with a pained heart.
After marrying Cian, due to my disability and disfigurement, I
didn’t want to go to the company.

I had mentioned working from home to him.
He refused every time.
“My woman should just enjoy life at home, no need to work.”
Words that seemed sweet actually concealed a blade, cutting off my wings to soar high.
I thought I would have no more connection with Cian. In
the third year abroad, this person who had died in my heart appeared before my eyes.
I was surprised. Shouldn’t he be inseparable from Grace back home at this moment?
Why did he come to find me?
When he saw me, a flash of amazement swept through his previously lifeless eyes.
“Darling, so you really are here. I’ve been searching for you for three years,” he said, his voice choked with emotion.
“Darling? In all our years of marriage, you’ve never called me that. Are you sure you’re not mistaking me for someone else? Isn’t Grace your beloved?”
His face fell with disappointment.
“I’m sorry. Grace and I are over. I was too obsessed before, constantly living in the shadow of Grace’s departure. I thought I
loved her, but I had actually moved on long ago.”
He looked at me. “Your face… how did it heal?”

“You ruined my face. Am I not allowed to get it fixed?”
He dropped to his knees with a thud, covering his face as he
wept.
“So you knew all along. On my way here, I thought of many ways to confess to you, hesitating whether I should say it out loud. If I did, you might never forgive me. He sobbed, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably, “During these three years without you, I’ve been repenting every single day. I despise myself for all the cruel things I did to you.”
