Chapter 12 The Miracle of Love
Therefore, I swallowed the original words and switched the topic.
“Let’s go.”
We left campus and ended up at a children’s home on the outskirts of town. I decided to get a job there.
I didn’t mean to involve Edward.
However, he insisted on working there with me.

He held up his hands, the ones insured for more than most people see in a lifetime, and waved them in my face like a madman.
“Hello? I’m a hacker. Give me a laptop, and I can work from literally anywhere. The moon. The Mars. I don’t care.” Finally, he stayed.
Since I might never have my own kids, I treated all the children there like they were mine.
Several years passed.
One evening, we threw a graduation party for a few of the teenagers who had gotten their acceptance letters.
By the time the kids wandered off to bed, Edward and I were the only ones left on the porch, sitting too close and a little drunk.
He looked at me. His eyes caught the light from the moon or stars.
We were so close to each other that I could feel his warm breathing.
His voice was almost pleading when he said, “Ella, I don’t need kids. I don’t need anything except you. Just marry me, please. I can’t lose you again.”
Under the moonlight, our shadows leaned into each other. Then we did too.
The next day, Edward dragged me out of bed without a word and took me to the county clerk’s office to get a marriage license.
At the door of the office, he cried like a child and said, “Ella, I swear. I’ll give you the best wedding in the whole world.”
On the wedding day, I saw Finn again.
He looked so miserable that I almost couldn’t recognize him.
His suit was wrinkled. There was no light in his eyes.
He stood there, staring at me for a long, long time.
It was as if he had turned into a statue.
He saw me in the pure white, 10-foot-train wedding gown, designed by one of the world’s top fashion masters.
He watched as Edward, his expression reverent, slowly slipped a dazzling diamond ring onto my ring finger. Suddenly, Finn gave a bitter smile.

He mouthed a sentence to me. “Ella, I’ll avenge you. Trust me.”
Soon, I heard the news that as a suspect, Grace had been brutally murdered.
Someone had left her dead body on the floor.
The picture made me gag.
Edward snatched my phone away before I could scroll further.
