If it weren’t for him, I would never have had any interaction with Isabel.
Her love for Asher was no less than mine.
But she hid even deeper than me.
She became my friend when she received my farewell letter and the video of me rushing to the airport in a frenzy.
Staying by my side, she could get closer to Asher every day. Our classmates laughed, saying our love was a threesome, while Isabel blushed and shook her head frantically.

Unfamiliar with human nature, I protected her with arrogance and scolded back those who m
ber.
But how did she repay me?
She imitated my every expression and every movement, but in the end, it was all in vain.
The crazy love she had for me ultimately destroyed me. Despite being a treacherous woman, Asher betrayed me for her.
Now that I have fulfilled his wishes, he is begging me to come back.
In his eyes, how lowly must I be, for him to think that as long as he speaks, I will turn back.
“Annalise, I know I was terribly wrong. I didn’t get married to Isabel, and the moment I entered City Hall, I regretted it!”
“I did cross some boundaries with her, but she wasn’t carrying my child. She got close to me just to seek revenge for me sending her to jail!”
“Annalise, where were you? I had no more connection with Isabel. I came to pick you up and take you home, okay?”
I used to think their love was noble, but it turned out to be a tale of revenge and deceit.
“Asher, we have ended.”
He got used to me silently waiting by his side. Now, trying to keep me, it’s just to minimize his own loss after discovering Isabel’s true face.
“Annalise, I disagreed with the decision to end it, have you already gone abroad? If you don’t tell me, I will go to your family and apologize, begging for forgiveness.”
“I would personally set up the proposal scene and propose to you, I would have custom–made pigeon eggs for you, I would accompany you to take the most beautiful ID photos and tie the marriage certificate, I would give you a dreamy wedding, I would cooperate with you to prepare for
pregnancy, please come back, okay…”
When he said the word “marriage,” his voice was filled with a sob.
After ten years of being in love, it was only after I completely gave up that I finally received his promise to marry me.
But I didn’t need it anymore.
I would not spend my life with a man who did not love me.
Even more unbearable, he fell in love with Isabel, whom I hated the most, and deceived me for a whole three years.
He always knew what I wanted.
But he didn’t achieve any of them.
After taking countless medicines, the child that was finally conceived was once again abandoned by him.
“Asher, thank you for risking your life to save me, but we are done now. It’s really not dignified to keep pestering. It was my mistake to leave a farewell letter and provoke you in the first place. Now I let go, and I wish you happiness.”
“Annalise, I will find you, apologize to you, and beg for your forgiveness! Wait for me!”
His persistence made me feel bored.
“Cherish Isabel and her child well!”
“You and 1, life is like the vast sea, no need to meet again.” I hung up the phone directly and blocked
him.
Mom and Leonel looked at me with worried expressions when they saw me hang up the phone.
But I felt that, by opening up and talking everything out with Asher, all the past had already dissipated with the wind.
A new day began, starting with being a happy little worm.
The breakfast prepared by my mother and aunt was so delicious that I almost wanted to eat the plates.
In just a short half month, I visibly gained weight.
Because the vitality lost due to the miscarriage has also been replenished.
I, looking radiant, followed my cousins to Leonel’s company
