Because of that, he had missed so many of her brightest, most triumphant moments.
Now, bathed in the spotlight, she was practically glowing. Woven into her undeniable confidence was a touch of profound, delicate tenderness.
Finnian stared, captivated. Was it because she was in love?
In the past, her gaze had always been fierce and distant, radiating an intimidating drive to crush her competitors.
But today, in her elegant dress, she was as warm and radiant as a spring morning.
Even Finnian found himself entirely breathless at the sight of her.
He noticed Kaia's eyes were fixed on someone just behind and to the left of him. He turned to look.
Simon Quinn was sitting right there.
Dressed in a crisp white shirt, Simon looked composed and effortlessly elegant. Unfazed by the bustling crowd around him, his gaze remained fiercely locked on the woman on stage.
Finnian pulled his gaze away from Simon and looked back at the stage.
He couldn't even describe what he was feeling—just a crushing, unfamiliar wave of bitterness.
Now, Simon was the one who could openly, proudly show up to support her.
Kaia stepped off the stage, weaving gracefully through the crowd, and walked straight over to sit beside Simon.
She handed the heavy trophy to him, accepting a small bouquet of fresh flowers in return. She laughed softly as she leaned in to whisper something to him.
Finnian turned his head, watching them speak in hushed, intimate tones, a wide smile pulling at the corners of Kaia's lips.
His heart plummeted straight into the abyss.
He suddenly remembered the fourth year of their marriage. Kaia had just won an award and came down to sit beside him. He muttered a quick 'congratulations.' She had looked like she wanted to say more, but he immediately turned away to chat with a business associate.
Kaia had waited quietly until they finished talking before softly admitting that she had been incredibly nervous on stage, her palms sweating.
