Chapter 2
Evelyn’s thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door being pushed open, and she turned around to see Ethan coming home.
His expression remained as cold as usual, and he remained silent when he saw her. However, when he walked up to her, something seemed to have crossed his mind, and he suddenly paused and asked a questio
“Today is the deadline for volunteer registration, have you completed your volunteer registration?”
Evelyn nodded obediently and replied, “It’s filled out, Uncle.”
Upon hearing her calling, Ethan suddenly froze. It was the first time she called him “uncle” again since his heart was broken at the age of sixteen.
Today she was also well–behaved, she didn’t come up to him when he pushed the door open, but instead sat properly on the sofa, maintaining the appropriate distance.
A strange feeling crossed his mind, and he keenly noticed her change. Subconsciously, he felt that this change was good.
That was the right way.
He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, averted his gaze, and then asked, “Did you fill in Cyndale Institute of Technology?” Even though they have reached such a point of turmoil now, their relationship can never go back to what it
It used to be
The fact that Cyndale Institute of Technology was chosen is something that both of them agreed upon.
Cyndale Institute of Technology was one of the top universities in the country, and most importantly, it was right here in our city.
A long time ago, Ethan had already bought a house near Cyndale Institute of Technology, preparing to move there with Evelyn once she got accepted into Cyndale Institute of Technology.
Even though he already had a fiancée now, this thought had never changed.
He never thought that Evelyn would leave him.
Evelyn heard the certainty in his words and a hint of unease crossed her expression. After a long pause, she lowered her head and answered, “Yes,” Ethan was not surprised at all by this answer. He nodded and then walked towards the study. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to remind her.
“Before the start of the school, if you need anything, just go directly to my assistant, and he will help you resolve it.”
“Uncle, actually…”
Evelyn hesitated for a moment, just about to gather the courage to say something, when his phone suddenly rang.
Be took our his phone and glanced at the name on the screen, and in an instant, his expression softened.
“Sophia, what’s the matter?
The tone was a tenderness that Evelyn hadn’t heard in a long time. She watched as a hint of indulgent smile appeared on his face. He hurriedly walked
to the study, no longer paying attention to what she had just wanted to say.
After a while, she finally lowered her bead in disappointinent and completely swallowed the words she was about to say.
Actually, I didn’t apply to Cyndale Institute of Technology. I applied to Halewick University, which is the farthest university from this city. Actually, I was
She glanced at the time on her phone and saw that there were sixty days left until
Evelyn opened the countdown app and set a sixty day countdown for her departure.
That night, Evelyn did not sleep well and woke up late.
She finished washing up and walked downstairs to the dining room, but she paused for a moment when she saw Ethan sitting in the main seat, flipping througli a newsuper.
Evelyn continued to just nod obediently, her unusual compliance, without saying a word, caught Ethan’s attention.
He noticed something was wrong with her and was about to speak, but Evelyn asked first, “Uncle, why haven’t you gone to the office today? Are you going on a date with Sophia?”
Upon hearing her question, Ethan, who had just been calm and relaxed, immediately changed his expression and his voice unconsciously turned cold. “This was not something you should have worried about.”
His sudden cold tone caught Evelyn off guard, but in an instant, she realized and understood that he had misunderstood the intention behind her question.
But now she only regarded him as a younger brother, that sentence was just a simple question, with no other intentions.
Evelyn was about to
to speak up to explain, but Sophia walked in and pushed the door open at that moment.
“What were you talking about?”
She smiled gently and gracefully. It was said that when she heard Evelyn needed to buy things for the new school year, she even volunteered to take Evelyn with her, as if she was truly a caring elder for the younger generation,
Ethan frowned, seemingly wanting to refuse, and Evelyn shook her head upon seeing this, about to say it’s not necessary. However, Sophia had already started to act coquettishly towards Ethan.
“Ethan, we got engaged, I am Evie’s aunt now, let me do my best for her.”
Ethan seemed unable to bear this kind of coquetry, and after listening, he simply ignored Evelyn’s opinion and helplessly looked at Sophia, “Alright, then let’s go together.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wedding Dress that Ruined Everything
Ch 50 Beginning of 4th Short story. Only 1 page. Incomplete. Summary from reading elsewhere: The world’s perfect couple. Husband is famous CEO who deals in jewelry and designed signature pieces for his beloved and doted on wife. To the world, and to her, they are they perfect loving couple, until she finds out he is having an affair with his Secretary. I can’t remember if it was a physical one or emotional (I can’t recall the correct name for it) one. Long story short, since she told him when she first agreed to be with him that if he ever betrayed her she would disappear from his world, she staged her suicide whilst exposing his affair (I think he also made custom designs for that woman or let her wear his signature piece for her) to the world. She moved abroad and opened a flower shop or something. He eventually finds her but I think she had quietly started dating someone else. Trying not to mix up stories. End the end, she doesn’t go back, he is miserable and regrets, I think he works himself to death, dies early and leaves everything to her....
Ch 49 End of Short Story 3. Too Late to Regret, I’ll call it. I like that she didn’t change her mind and she had valid points because even after realizing Carina’s presence and neediness and his catering to her ruined his family, he still hasn’t sent her packing. He could have had another friend hire her as a Secretary after regaining all the memories, but even after losing his wife and son behind his dealings with her and neglect of his wife and how he started to see her, he still indulged this woman and kept her on. I don’t like how the child isn’t mentioned in the end or how Wayne ended up in the end....
Ch 48 Oh, I like how this went. They both remain the same age but their circumstances changed… well hers did, and they just popped into the life they would have had. But that means theirs a child somewhere without parents but with his memories intact of who his parents were supposed to be since they kept their bodies....
Ch 47 Nope. No need....
Ch 46 Well that took long enough…...
Ch 45 Was it a voice recording or video?...
If the changes he made back then affect her now, why aren’t these feelings she’s invoking in him reflecting in the current Wayne?...
H 43, so… he asked his wife about a gift box for a gift that belongs to his not lover on their anniversary? He doesn’t find it odd that she knew where it was and since it was pink she would think it was for her? He thinks she needs him so he can do whatever he wants. I’m already not liking her thinking to make him change their past to fix their future. Leave him. He had the opportunity to do things right the first 7 sevens and correct mistakes in the last 5 with Carina....
Ch 25 End of 2nd book Letting Go, I’ll call it....
Ch 37 Didn’t they already exchange contacts earlier at the private room....
