“Thank you for the good times you gave me. And thank you for risking your life to bring me back from Velmara. I’ll never forget any of it.
“And thank you for the pain too. It taught me how to let go. How to move on. We started her So let’s end it here.”
A sharp, crushing pain tore through Raymond’s chest. He stood there, frozen, unable to spea
Blades came from all directions, cutting his bodies down. Even breathing hurt.
Pain filled his deep eyes, but Agnes’s face stayed calm. No emotion at all. She truly didn’t care anymore.
Agnes took out a document from her bag and placed it in his hand.
“I’ve already signed the divorce papers. Take good care of yourself.”
Then she walked away without hesitation.
Raymond reached out and grabbed her wrist tightly, afraid that if he let go, she would disappear the next second.
His lips trembled. His voice came out low and broken. “Don’t go.”
Agnes tried to pull her hand back, but he wouldn’t let go. She let out a soft sigh.
“It’s over. You need to learn to let go too. Maybe we both deserve a fresh start. There’s no point holding on anymore. I’m tired.”
Raymond’s eyes turned red, filled with pain and quiet pleading.
Slowly, he lowered his head, but his hand still gripping her wrist.
“Can you… give me one last chance? I’m begging you. Just one more time…”
Agnes froze for a moment. After a long silence, she said softly, “Let’s go our separate ways.”
Then she pulled her hand free and left.
Raymond stayed there, hoping she would turn back just once.
But she never did. Not even a single glance.

It wasn’t just the pain of losing her. It was the pain of knowing he caused it all.
For the rest of his life, he would never forgive himself.
After returning home, Raymond took out a notebook from his drawer and opened it.
He had found it before at the estate while searching through Daisy’s things.
The familiar handwriting pulled him back to his childhood.
This was a diary he and Agnes had written together. Every page was filled with memories o them growing up.
After Judy took him back to the estate, the rest of the diary was written by Agnes alone.
He looked at her neat handwriting. Every word was written to him.
Her daily life. Her complaints. Her thoughts. Her longing. Reading it felt like, he had never her world.
At the very end, there was her shy love confession.
And the moment she saw him with Hillary at the university.
The page was wrinkled, stained by tears.
Raymond closed his eyes. Silent tears slid down his face and fell onto the same page Agnes h cried over.
His breathing grew heavy. He had lost the girl who once saw only him.
“Agnes, no matter how hard the road ahead is, I’ll keep following you. Like a moth to a flame. won’t turn back. I’ll protect you forever. That’s what I owe you.”
For a long time after that, Raymond stopped trying to contact Agnes.
During that time, Agnes focused on finishing college.
After graduation, she put all her energy into her business. The business grew steadily. Its reputation improved. The company expanded day by day.
Sometimes, she still thought about Raymond. But the intense feelings she once had slowly faded into something calm and distant.
One night, after working late at the office, Agnes saw Raymond’s name flash on her phone.

She stared at it for a few seconds, then answered.
“Agnes…”
His voice was hoarse, tired, and low.
“Is something wrong? You need me?”
“Yeah… I just… wanted to ask. Are you doing okay?”
“I’m fine. What do you need?”
