To Defeat Scum, You Must Start Early, My Lady - Chapter 694

Chapter 694: Extra 107 From now on…for the rest of my life, I won’t leave or give up (Grand Finale, Final Chapter)

It was not the weekend, nor was it a holiday.

Xin Zaozao unexpectedly did not go to work.

Mu Cidian did not ask much.

Usually when Xin Zaozao was around, Mu Cidian didn’t hold Wanwan much and left Wanwan to her. However, Xin Zaozao was not interested in taking care of Wanwan today, this change was even noticed by the nanny.

The nanny asked, “Madam, are you feeling unwell?”

In that moment, Mu Cidian was sitting in front of the computer handling work, and the nanny’s words seemed to have caught his attention, causing him to glance over.

Xin Zaozao said, “Nothing is wrong.”

But inside, she was feeling really sad.

Her emotions were stuck in her throat, causing her discomfort.

“You seem a bit off today, Madam. You’re not pregnant again, are you?” the nanny voiced out loud.

“How could that be possible?!” Xin Zaozao quickly denied, her voice slightly raised.

Mu Cidian’s attention was diverted too.

Perhaps Xin Zaozao was just dealing with her own affairs.

After Mu Cidian finished his work in the morning, he started packing his luggage in the afternoon.

Xin Zaozao just watched him.

He didn’t have much luggage.

From the time he moved in with only a suitcase, up till now when he’s leaving, he still had only that suitcase.

Xin Zaozao wanted to say something several times, but she ended up falling silent again.

At night.

Mu Cidian was still busy taking care of Wanwan. After putting Wanwan to sleep, he didn’t go to bed right away but instead got up and walked out of the room.

Xin Zaozao suddenly stopped him.

Mu Cidian paused.

Slowly, he shrugged off Xin Zaozao’s hand.

Xin Zaozao felt a sense of emptiness in her palm.

Mu Cidian asked, “Is something wrong?”

“Are you leaving tomorrow?”

“So I have to tell the nanny how to put Wanwan to sleep when I’m not here.”

“Do you really have to leave?” Xin Zaozao asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

“Yes.”

Xin Zaozao bit her lip.

Mu Cidian didn’t pay attention to Xin Zaozao’s emotions and left the room.

There was an indescribable feeling of discomfort in Xin Zaozao’s heart as she stayed in the room.

It took Mu Cidian a while to return to the room.

He noticed Xin Zaozao sitting on the room sofa, showing no intention of taking a bath.

Mu Cidian did not urge her to do so. In fact, he never inquired about her daily habits. He simply said, “I am turning off the light.”

Because a too bright room would disrupt Wanwan’s sleep.

Xin Zaozao nodded.

Mu Cidian turned off the main light and continued to sleep next to Wanwan.

It was very quiet, very quiet as he slept, showing no intentions or any desire to talk to her.

She sat on the sofa for a long time, a very long time before she finally got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

The shower was unusually long.

Her heart was heavy with worries.

Actually, she and Mu Cidian should have separated a long time ago…

But…

But why did she suddenly feel so upset?

The thought of Mu Cidian really leaving filled her with an indescribable pain.

She came out after taking a bath.

Both Mu Cidian and Wanwan seemed to be asleep.

In the silent room, she could still hear Mu Cidian’s faint breathing.

She quietly watched Mu Cidian and Wanwan sleep. Under the dim light, it was a warm and tender sight. She suddenly remembered all those nights when she was awakened by Wanwan’s cries, and would see Mu Cidain, without a bit of complaint, get up to make Wanwan milk, to change Wanwan’s diapers, never seeming to tire. Though she sometimes wanted to get up and help, she would feel so sleepy that she just didn’t want to.

She really didn’t know if she could take good care of Wanwan alone if Mu Cidian left. The reason she could go to work without worry was because she trusted Mu Cidian, trusted that he could take care of Wanwan, trusted that only he could take care of Wanwan…

Her heart felt uncomfortable.

The suppressed discomfort made her stay out of bed and head to the balcony.

The wind was strong on the balcony, and she was just wearing a thin nightgown.

She looked at Jin City, the bustling city, with her thoughts swaying continuously.

She suddenly remembered the night Mu Cidian and Wu Qianyuan got engaged. That night, she stood on a balcony just like this, listening to their soft whispers, coldly accepting all the hurt Mu Cidian had inflicted on her. She endured it all then. But now, just thinking of that scene, she felt a torturing pain in her heart. She even wondered if, after Mu Cidian left this time, he would start a new life, find a new woman…and start living again.

A new life where he wouldn’t have to endure, where they would sleep together, maybe even have another child…

Her eyes twitched slightly.

A tear fell unexpectedly.

She actually burst into tears at the thought of Mu Cidian’s future.

The pain was unbearable.

So unbearable that she didn’t know what to do next?

She picked up her phone and dialed a number.

All this time, while facing the world alone, she had hardly ever asked anyone for help. However, now, in her pain, she called Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi sounded somewhat groggy, “Zaozao?”

“Did I disturb you?”

“It’s… almost 1 a.m.” Clearly, she had disturbed her.

“Sorry, I…”

“Go ahead, I’m awake.” The voice on the other end rubbed her eyes, trying to sound alert.

“I’m just feeling a bit uncomfortable.”

“Because of Mu Cidian?” Song Zhizhi hit the nail on the head.

Xin Zaozao did not hide, “Yes. We are getting divorced tomorrow.”

“What?” Song Zhizhi sounded somewhat agitated.

Baijian turned over and embraced her.

Song Zhizhi blushed, not daring to make a sound.

“That is… we’re getting divorced.”

“Weren’t you doing well? How can you suddenly decide to divorce?” Song Zhizhi was surprised, “Have things been bad between you?”

“It’s always been bad. The relationship deteriorated significantly after Lei Qian’s accident. Cidian wrote a divorce agreement then, but didn’t bring it up. I suppose he was waiting because Wanwan was still young. Now… now he must have finally come to a decision.”

Song Zhizhi became more suspicious.

By nature, Mu Cidian would never take the initiative to divorce. No matter how much Zaozao rejected him, as long as she didn’t bring it up, he wouldn’t. For Cidian, being with Zaozao and Wanwan was probably the happiest thing he could imagine. He would certainly not leave them.

Moreover. Even if Mu Cidian had given up, had decided to stop intruding on Zaozao’s life, he wouldn’t have waited until now, waited until this inexplicable moment to divorce. She felt like there was something wrong.

Just as she was about to open her mouth.

The Baijian beside her suddenly covered her mouth with his hand, signaling her not to speak.

Song Zhizhi caught the meaning in the gaze of her own husband and understood immediately.

She continued Zaozao’s words, asking, “What are you thinking right now?”

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t want a divorce, do you?” Song Zhizhi was forthright.

Zaozao gritted her teeth.

“If you wanted a divorce, you wouldn’t have called me.”

“I’m conflicted.” Xin Zaozao frankly told Song Zhizhi. “I was really repelled by Mu Cidian, I felt he had brought me so much unhappiness this life. For a long time, I really wanted him to stay far away from me, not to get close to me.”

“And then?”

“Then… I found that I couldn’t accept any other man apart from him. Be it Song Lifei, or Ji Baili… I couldn’t accept them.” Xin Zaozao gave a bitter smile. “Sometimes, I loathe myself.”

“Why are you so repelled by Mu Cidian?” Song Zhizhi asked.

The most important thing now is to clear this question up.

“Because… he once hurt me deeply, so deeply that I do not want to forget, do not want to forget the pain from the past.”

“Are you still afraid that Mu Cidian will hurt you again?”

“Maybe.” Xin Zaozao admitted.

“In fact, you already know clearly that everyone is angered by Mu Cidian’s present kindness to you,” Song Zhizhi said, “Instead of saying that you are afraid Mu Cidian will hurt you again, it’s more like you are looking for a reasonable excuse not to be with him.”

There was a stirring in Xin Zaozao’s heart.

What Song Zhizhi said was right.

She knew very well how kind Mu Cidian was to her now, so kind.

So kind that he would never hurt her again.

“Zaozao, I think I understand now. The real issue between you and Mu Cidian isn’t about whether there’s love or how good he is, but it’s about the pride in your heart,” he said.

Xin Zaozao frowned.

“To put it bluntly, you can’t accept Mu Cidian. You can’t accept that after he hurt you so much, you are still in love with him. You can’t accept that after all he and the people around him have done to hurt you, you are willing to let bygones be bygones,” Song Zhizhi analyzed, “With such an attitude, when you and him are just getting along peacefully, everything will be fine because you are not someone who likes to create troubles. However, you will explode with hatred and rejection towards Mu Cidian whenever there’s an issue arising from him.”

Xin Zaozao bit her lip.

It was because Song Zhizhi had hit the nail on the head.

“Now, Mu Cidian wants to divorce you, and you can’t accept it. This fully shows that deep down, you really want to be with him, and you love him. It’s just that you are too proud to show weakness or give in,” Song Zhizhi said, sighing a little, “Zaozao, I know it’s hard for you to forgive someone who has hurt you. After all, nobody is Mother Mary; we can’t be that magnanimous and selfless. But, think about it, can’t everything that Mu Cidian has done for you over the years make up for his past mistakes? Can’t it make up for all the harm he’s done to you because of family pressure?”

Xin Zaozao did not know.

She did not even know, often she even deliberately ignored this issue.

“Zaozao, the past is the past after all, you will never find happiness by living in it. As the saying goes, ‘look forward, the past will eventually become history’. If you hold on to the past, you will only hurt yourself and the ones who are good to you,” Song Zhizhi advised patiently, “Open your heart, cherish the person in front of you.”

Open your heart, cherish the person in front of you!

Cherish… Mu Cidian?

Should the past just stay in the past?

She held her phone, not knowing how to respond to Song Zhizhi.

It seemed like Song Zhizhi had sensed her hesitation, and said, “Mu Cidian is going to divorce you tomorrow.”

When Xin Zaozao heard this, her heart hurt.

Clearly, she couldn’t ignore it.

She said, “Zhizhi, what should I do?”

Song Zhizhi smiled slightly.

It seemed like Xin Zaozao’s feelings for Mu Cidian were much deeper than she thought.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have admitted her feelings and wanted to try and save their relationship when Mu Cidian was about to leave.

“There’s nothing between spouses that can’t be solved by sex. If once is not enough, then twice.” Song Zhizhi chuckled wickedly, “Until… you are satisfied.”

Xin Zaozao’s heart fluttered.

“Trust me, this is the most direct and effective way.”

“I…” Xin Zaozao bit her lip, “Okay.”

“I’m looking forward to hearing good news from you tomorrow.” Song Zhizhi laughed.

“Okay.” Xin Zaozao nodded repeatedly.

It seemed like she was also trying to cheer herself up at that moment.

“Good…night.”

Song Zhizhi hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, she felt that the gaze of the man holding her had changed.

“What are you looking at me for?”

“Who told you there’s nothing between a husband and wife that can’t be solved by sex?”

“Ji Baijian, don’t make a mess, you have a flight to catch tomorrow… ”

“Mu Cidian also has a flight to catch tomorrow.”

“It’s not the same…”

“Do you think I’m not as physically strong as him?”

“…” I’m just so fucking tired!

Damn it.

…

Xin Zaozao hangs up the phone.

The night breeze is actually cold, but her heart suddenly feels warm.

As for Mu Cidian, she has been thinking about him… for the past few days.

She clenches her lips.

Since she doesn’t want him to leave…

She entered the room.

The room is still dim, lit only by a faint illumination.

She bends down, suddenly lifting Wanwan.

Mu Cidian woke up at once. He opened his eyes and looked at Xin Zaozao’s sudden movement. Seeing her holding up Wanwan, he was somewhat surprised, “Is she awake?”

“No, I’m thinking about handing Wanwan over to the babysitter,” Xin Zaozao replied.

Mu Cidian furrowed his brows.

“She…I have some insomnia. I was thinking, maybe it has something to do with her…” Xin Zaozao attempted to explain.

While she was explaining, her cheeks turned crimson.

However, the room was so dim that her blushing face was hardly visible.

Mu Cidian got up from the bed and said, “I will take her over, you go to sleep.”

Xin Zaozao hesitated for a moment before answering, “Okay.”

She then handed chubby Wanwan over to Mu Cidian.

Mu Cidian then left with Wanwan.

Xin Zaozao felt her heart beating faster in the room.

She had never been forward with Mu Cidian except for that one occasion. She was under the influence of a substance that time, but now that she was fully sober, she felt nervous.

So nervous that she felt helpless.

She forced herself to remain calm. Quickly running to the cloakroom, she rummaged through all sleepwear. The one she was wearing was quite revealing already, but she wondered if there was something even more provocative. Eventually, she found a piece, a bold red silk slip dress, the back of which was nothing more than a few thin ties, and the front barely covered her. This dress was a gift from Lina.

Thank goodness, she didn’t throw it away.

She put it on, and sprayed a little perfume.

Only then did she return to the bedroom from the cloakroom.

Mu Cidian had not yet returned.

Was Wanwan awake?

After laying on the bed waiting for a while…

She waited for quite a bit.

If Wanwan had woken up, been fed and put to sleep, he should have returned by now.

She got out of bed barefoot and opened the door.

Outside the door, on the living room sofa, a man was asleep.

Xin Zaozao stopped not far from the sofa, watching Mu Cidian sleeping there.

So he had no intention of returning to the room at all.

Without Wanwan, he never intended to share a room with her.

That makes sense.

They were about to get a divorce, so how could he possibly consider sleeping alone with her?

Her eyes reddened slightly.

Mu Cidian’s rejection really punched her in the heart.

For a long time, she was the one rejecting Mu Cidian. Now, she finally knows how it feels to be rejected.

At this moment, instead of turning around and leaving, she walked towards Mu Cidian step by step.

When she reached him, she squatted down in front of him.

Was Mu Cidian asleep?

She had been tossing and turning all night and yet, he slept so peacefully.

Her heart, it stings a bit.

It stings continuously…

Her cheek leaned towards Mu Cidian, her lips gently pressed against his.

She kissed him.

…

Her body was suddenly pushed away.

Mu Cidian sat up from the sofa, “Xin Zaozao?”

Xin Zaozao bit her lip and looked at him.

“Are you sleepwalking?” Mu Cidian asked.

Xin Zaozao did not answer.

Mu Cidian stood up from the sofa, held her arm, probably thinking she was sleepwalking, and took her back to her room.

Xin Zaozao merely followed behind Mu Cidian.

Mu Cidian brought her back to the room and told her to go to bed.

Xin Zaozao remained still.

Mu Cidian bent over to pick her up. But as he lowered her, Xin Zaozao abruptly held onto his neck, kissing his lips harshly.

Mu Cidian was taken aback.

Mu Cidian pushed her away.

He said, “Xin Zaozao, snap out of it.”

Xin Zaozao’s eyes were very red.

Being pushed away, truly didn’t feel good.

“Sleep now, it’s late.” The tone in Mu Cidian’s voice softened a bit.

He covered Xin Zaozao with a blanket, hiding her too-thin pajamas.

After covering her with the blanket, he turned around to leave.

“Will you… truly never touch me again?” Xin Zaozao asked him.

Mu Cidian, who was leaving, paused.

“I wasn’t sleepwalking,” she declared.

Mu Cidian’s throat moved slightly.

“I want to… sleep with you.”

Mu Cidian, his body stiff, turned around to look at her, thinking he heard wrong.

“Mu Cidian, I want to sleep with you.” Xin Zaozao enunciated carefully, making sure he understood.

Mu Cidian’s eyes flinched, “What’s wrong with you?”

Nothing.

Just that I miss you, I miss you, I don’t want you to go.

Xin Zaozao rose from the bed.

She got down from the bed and went in front of Mu Cidian.

Her tiny and exquisite figure, under the cool clothing, was vividly in display.

She stretched out her fair arm and cautiously grabbed Mu Cidian’s hand.

Mu Cidian’s palm trembled.

His heart was beating.

“Mu Cidian, are you truly never going to touch me again?” She asked him carefully, her eyes downcast.

Mu Cidian pursed his lips.

He didn’t answer.

What exactly happened to Xin Zaozao tonight?

He even felt that the current situation felt like a dream.

Xin Zaozao didn’t get an answer from Mu Cidian.

She suddenly let go of his hand.

The moment she let go of his hand, Mu Cidian instinctively wanted to grab it, yet he forced himself to let it go.

He looked at Xin Zaozao, expecting her to turn around and leave. But in that moment, Xin Zaozao suddenly tiptoed, her arms around his neck, offering herself up completely to him.

Mu Cidian clenched his fist.

…

The night passed.

Xin Zaozao watched Mu Cidian leave.

He still left dragging his luggage behind.

He didn’t stay for her after all.

He didn’t even let her know when he was leaving.

If she hadn’t been up all night, she might not have known when he left.

The moment the door closed.

Tears fell from her eyes, one after another, wetting her pillow.

Who knows how long it had been.

The phone rang.

Xin Zaozao wiped her tears inconspicuously as she looked at the incoming call and answered, “Zhizhi.”

“What happened?”

“He left,” Xin Zaozao admitted, her voice hoarse.

“I know. I saw him.”

“Hmm?”

“Is he going abroad?” Song Zhizhi asked.

Xin Zaozao’s heart flinched.

Was Mu Cidian not only leaving her but also leaving Yanshang Country?

“I’m at the airport now heading abroad for an inspection with Ji Baijian, and I happened to run into Mu Cidian. Weren’t you with him last night?” Song Zhizhi asked anxiously.

“Yes,” Xin Zaozao nodded.

Mu Cidian had refused.

Last night… she had done everything she could.

She had given it her all.

Yet today he hadn’t changed his mind.

“Sigh. You guys didn’t communicate properly at all.” Song Zhizhi was somewhat frustrated, “Hurry and come to the international airport. Mu Cidian is still here and hasn’t boarded the plane yet.”

“Come for what?”

“Naturally to stop him from leaving. Do you think he will come back if he goes abroad? Will you guys still meet if he goes abroad? I just overheard Mu Cidian talking with Ji Baijian about settling down abroad. Hurry. If you don’t come, Mu Cidian will be gone. He will really never come back again…”

“I’ll be right there!” Xin Zaozao didn’t hesitate a moment.

She hastily changed her clothes and rushed out without putting on makeup.

The nanny was completely startled by Xin Zaozao’s urgency.

She had never seen Xin Zaozao in such a rush. Not even when she was late for work was she this frantic. It was as though the world would end if she were any slower.

Xin Zaozao had not driven in a long time. She was somewhat reckless on the roads, completely forgetting her fear as she drove nonstop to the airport. She ran in as soon as she parked.

Running, while dialing Song Zhizhi’s phone, “Where are you? Has he left yet?”

“Not yet, but it seems like he is about to go through security. I’ve been trying to stall. Where are you now?”

“I’m at the airport.”

“Come to the international flights area, near the floor-to-ceiling windows. We’re here.”

“Okay.”

Xin Zaozao rapidly ran in the direction Song Zhizhi indicated.

From afar…

She saw Mu Cidian. She saw Mu Cidian and Ji Baijian standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, seemingly discussing something.

At that moment, Song Zhizhi was standing on the other side of the two men, looking around as though waiting for her.

The moment he saw her, he hurriedly waved.

Xin Zaozao clenched her teeth and ran over, hugging Mu Cidian from behind.

Mu Cidian’s body tensed up.

In just a second, he could tell it was Xin Zaozao.

He slightly moved.

He had been so tired last night and had tried to be quiet this morning to let her sleep. Why would she suddenly come to the airport?

He was about to turn around.

But Xin Zaozao held onto him and said loudly, “Mu Cidian, don’t turn around.”

Mu Cidian’s body turned rigid.

“I’m afraid that if you turn around, I won’t be able to say what I want.”

Mu Cidian’s throat tightened slightly.

Ji Baijian glanced over at Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi gave a triumphant smile.

Ji Baijian sighed helplessly, and beckoned to Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi obediently snuggled up into Ji Baijian’s embrace.

After several seconds of silence, Xin Zaozao gathered up her courage and said, “Mu Cidian, I love you.”

Mu Cidian’s rigid body seemed to petrify in that moment.

“I love you, I really love you. I don’t want you to leave me, I don’t want you to leave Wanwan, I want to be with you, I want to be with you forever.” Xin Zaozao said and her tears started to flow uncontrollably, “I don’t want you to go, I don’t want a divorce, I don’t want you to belong to another woman, I don’t want…”

Her voice choked off, sobs making it impossible to continue.

At that moment, it wasn’t just Xin Zaozao who was choking back tears.

Mu Cidian’s eyes were also reddening.

He had never thought that he would hear Xin Zaozao say “I love you.”

She would never know how much these three words had shocked him.

How much these three words could change his life.

These three words were enough for him to endure all the pain in the world.

“Mu Cidian, I messed up before, I wasn’t brave enough, I wasn’t determined enough, I was selfish, I was too scared to express my feelings, even though I love you, I couldn’t forget the past hurt, even though I love you, I said so many hurtful things! I really regret it, please don’t leave, please don’t abandon me… can’t you just stay with me?”

Xin Zaozao broke down in tears.

Mu Cidian turned around.

He looked at Xin Zaozao’s tear-streaked face.

He lifted up her chin.

He looked at her, crying so heartbreakingly.

“I won’t abandon you, not in this lifetime,” he said.

He had been prepared to be ignored by her for the rest of his life.

If she didn’t want to break up, he would never leave.

“Can you please not leave, I beg you,” Xin Zaozao clung to his clothes, really scared that he would leave.

“No, that’s not possible,” Ji Baijian suddenly interrupted.

Xin Zaozao looked at him through her blurred, tear-soaked vision.

She didn’t care about appearances anymore.

Ji Baijian said, “Once the time has been agreed, you cannot go back on your word. In addition, discussing cooperation with international leaders, if you break your promise, it represents the breaking of a promise by our entire nation. You can’t let personal feelings affect our national honor.”

What?

Xin Zaozao was clearly bewildered.

What agreed time, and what negotiation with international leaders?

Mu Cidian’s gentle voice said, “I will be back soon.”

“Aren’t you going abroad permanently?” Xin Zaozao asked.

Mu Cidian paused.

He didn’t know what Xin Zaozao was talking about.

Xin Zaozao seemed to realize something at that moment.

She turned to look at Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi looked calm, “As long as you two get back together, that means everything is alright.”

Xin Zaozao suddenly understood, she couldn’t help but ask, “Your departure today is just… for business abroad?”

Mu Cidian nodded.

“Your leaving doesn’t mean you want a divorce?” Xin Zaozao asked again for confirmation.

When did he ever mention divorce?

Xin Zaozao clenched her teeth.

Her face reddened in that moment, and she felt unbearably embarrassed.

She suddenly turned around.

Just now, she had acted like a madwoman, and at this moment, she really wished the earth would swallow her up.

So, from the beginning to the end, it was all just a misunderstanding on her part.

Yet, she had done such a crazy thing.

She really wished she could find a hole to crawl in.

Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi are both very tactful people, Song Zhizhi said, “Mu Cidian, we’ll go in first, it’s almost time for boarding, don’t dawdle for too long.”

Mu Cidian nodded.

Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi left.

Only Mu Cidian and Xin Zaozao remained.

Xin Zaozao did not turn her head to look at Mu Cidian. Seeing Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi leave, she clenched her teeth and said, “I’m going back first.”

“Zaozao.” Mu Cidian suddenly hugged her from behind.

He pulled her into his arms.

Xin Zaozao bit her lip, her heart pounding wildly.

“Thank you,” Mu Cidian said.

As he said those words, Xin Zaozao felt a lump in her throat.

“Thank you for telling me you love me,” Mu Cidian’s deep voice whispered into her ear.

Xin Zaozao’s eyes began to redden.

“Do you remember when I sent you to the airport?” Mu Cidian asked in her ear.

Xin Zaozao thought back.

She was leaving that time, deciding to leave this heartbreaking city forever.

Back then, Mu Cidian had escorted her.

He sent her away.

“I wanted to tell you then, I love you.”

I love you so much.

Xin Zaozao’s eyes were red and swollen.

After all these years, after all the time she spent with Mu Cidian, they had both loved each other all those years.

“Wait for me to come back,” he whispered, his lips softly kissed her earlobe.

Xin Zaozao’s heart jolted.

Her body shivered unexpectedly.

Mu Cidian reluctantly let her go.

Reluctantly, he headed towards airport security.

Xin Zaozao watched him, watched him until he disappeared from sight.

At that moment, she seemed to understand the feelings Mu Cidian had when he sent her off that one year.

He must have been desperate at the time.

But now, she was full of hope.

Full of hope, waiting for him to come back.

From now on… she would never leave his side for the rest of her life.

End of Story
