Falling for the Best Man, A Second Chance at Love - Chapter 5

The reason they were finally able to secure funding that year

was simply because the new products developed by the company possessed enough market potential.

And those products that turned the tide-

they were the result of my painstaking efforts, leading the R&D team through countless days and nights during my pregnancy.

Yet due to excessive exhaustion,

in the end, I couldn’t keep the child.

Just like that, I lost the three-month-old fetus.

At that time, he was busy running everywhere trying to bring in investments.

I didn’t even have the chance to tell him I was pregnant.

I concealed my involvement in the R&D, as well as the loss of our child.

I didn’t want him to blame himself for it.

He always thought that the reason the company survived the crisis and flourished

was because of the R&D team, and all the wheeling and dealing between him and Ye Kelin.

Anyway, the marriage is over.

There’s nothing left for me to hide.

“Actually…”

He suddenly interrupted me:

“Did you know, later on, at a friend’s wedding,

when I saw his bride walk down the aisle,

he couldn’t stop smiling. He was so happy to be marrying that woman.

At that moment, I suddenly realized that my feelings for you… seemed to have changed.

As I watched the end of the aisle, I pictured Linlin in a wedding dress in my mind.

In that instant, I knew I could no longer lie to myself or to you.”

…

Back then, we’d just graduated from university, and money was tight.

We registered our marriage and held only a simple, small wedding.

At that time, he often held my hand, eyes turning red as he told me he owed me so much.

He promised that once we had money, he would give me the most beautiful and grand wedding.

Later, he did become wealthy.

But he always used being busy as an excuse.

He kept delaying the time to take our wedding photos.

Now, I watch him confess his deep feelings for another woman with such devotion,

as if the man who once loved me so deeply, through mountains and seas,

was no longer him.

Time has silently replaced the bride in his heart.

I lowered my eyes, swallowing the words I never got to say.

Forget it.

There’s no need to tangle with the past anymore.

Let it end here.
