Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 655

When Lucy left the mansion, she wore a long and thick down coat that Yanni had bought for her. He complained that she had worn too little, so he bought it and forced her to wear it.

It was snowing, but she felt warm.

She got into the taxi and took one last look at the mansion as she left. The memories she had with Yanni were sweet. He spoilt her and treated her well; she was the luckiest woman in the world. The only other person who treated her that well was her sister.

"Miss, where do you want to go?"

She replied flatly, "To the bus stop."

"Sure. Look at tonight's weather! The road might be filled with snow tomorrow, and the traffic would be horrendous."

Lucy smiled; it did not matter to her since she would not be there tomorrow.

…

Yanni slept until six the next morning. He had not been sleeping well for days, plus he was still a little hungover, so he had slept soundly that night.

When he woke up, he realized that the place next to him was empty.

He went down to find Aunt Yen preparing breakfast. She said, "Sir, you're awake! I've made breakfast. Why don't you get Ms. Lucy to join you?"

He looked at the marriage contract on the table. There was a letter next to it. He opened it; it was a farewell letter from Lucy.

[Yanni, I've thought about it. I don't think we should get married. This would not be fair to you, me, or my sister. We met because of my sister, and I left because of her, as well—consider this a full circle]

[I really did hope that I could be with you as myself. But I realized that it was impossible. I'm selfish. I can't marry another man who has someone else in his heart, not even my sister. There's a saying which I think rings true—sisters may share anything, but not the same man.]

[You were my sister's man; in this life, that's who you'll always be. Yanni, I beg of you. Don't come looking for me. Staying apart will be good for both of us. Lucy."]

Yanni held the letter in his hands as he sat down in a daze. He noticed that Lucy did not sign the marriage contract, as well. It was as if something was missing in his heart.

Aunt Yen was confused. "Sir, should I get Ms. Lucy to join you?"

"That won't be necessary. She had left."

…

Peak Valley.

It was the countryside. Lucy had been there for a week, and she was already used to the pace of life there.

Peak Valley was still pretty underdeveloped. There was no 4G network; they had 3G sometimes, but it was almost always 2G only. No internet connection meant things were further away from the world outside.
