For some reason, when tears fell from my cheeks, Alexander felt his heart suddenly jolt.
An inexplicable pain surged through him. <fn837b> Chapters first released on ?ovelFind</fn837b>
He stared at my retreating figure for a long time, unable to snap out of it, until a passing child softly called out.
‘Mister, why are you crying?”
Only then did Alexander instinctively touch his face-it was already wet with tears.
But his mind remained nk.
Alexander stood dazed for a long while, until Sophie’s gentle voice came from behind.
River, let’s go to the estate.”
Don’t worry, I’lle with you. I won’t secretly go back to the vige alone anymore.”
lexander came back to his senses.
he moment he saw Sophie, he forgot everything else.
le smiled and ran over, taking her hand.
Whatever you say.”
As long as you don’t want to leave me, I’ll listen to you about everything.”
he third floor of the estate was my and Alexander’s marital bedroom. But Alexander resisted strongly, refusing to stay there no matter what. After uch consideration, Mrs. Whitmore finally arranged for them to stay in two guest rooms on the second floor.
ut before leaving, Mrs. Whitmore couldn’t help mentioning.
Would you like to go upstairs and see the third floor? That’s where you and Victoria used to live.”
The doctor said the brain hemorrhage will subside within three months, and your memory will gradually return. If you take a look, you might emember something earlier. Victoria is a good girl-I really don’t want you two to divorce. If you regret it, there’s still time…”
lexander directly took Sophie’s hand, his tone firm.
I won’t regret it!”
Since we’re registering for divorce tomorrow, Mom, I want to get engaged to Sophie tomorrow. Then we’ll use the thirty-day cooling-off period to repare for our wedding. The moment I get the divorce certificate, I want to marry Sophie openly!”
Mrs. Whitmore’s unfinished words werepletely blocked.
After a long sigh, she still nodded.
Early the next morning, the weather was nice, but my body wasn’t cooperating. I swallowed two painkillers and drove to the estate to pick up
Alexander.
Gardeners bustled past me.
From afar, I could hear Sophie’s shy yet sweet voice:
“River, I only mentioned liking jasmine casually. You don’t need to make such a big fuss!”
Alexander bent down to kiss the corner of Sophie’s lips, his tone indulgent.
“Everything Sophie says isw to me.”
“I never really liked tulips anyway. I don’t know why the garden had so many. Might as well pull them all out and nt flowers you like.”
Watching the precious tulips being broken, destroyed bit by bit, and buried in the soil, my breathing becamebored.
This entire garden of tulips was actually nted by Alexander for me.
The year we graduated high school, Alexander wanted to give me a proper confession. Knowing I loved tulips, he had them shipped from overseas and tended them for a month until they bloomed, finally presenting them to me.
“Victoria, I like you. Let’s be together!”
The sunlight that day was as beautiful as today’s.
Iughed and scolded him for making such a big deal.
Alexander took my hand and told me solemnly.
‘Liking you is the most serious thing in the world!”
The voices from memory and reality rang out simultaneously. Watching Alexander say the same words to Sophie, I couldn’t help but feel my nose ting.
inally, I stepped forward and spoke up.
Sorry to interrupt, but it’s about time. Should we head to the registry office?”
stood among the flowers, wind blowing through my dress. From a distance, our eyes met.
he scene was so familiar it was disorienting.
he moment Alexander saw me, the headache struck again, but this time apanied by countless shing, blurred fragments.
le couldn’t help but frown and moan in pain, looking at me with difficulty.
I think… I’m starting to remember something.”
