“Ophelia, don’t you like me?” Jonathan asked, confusion lacing his voice. “So why does the idea of marrying me not seem to make you happy?”
When he woke up, Ophelia was the first person he saw. Since then, he saw Ophelia as his everything.
Ophelia couldn’t bring herself to talk about the past, and with a weighty tone, she sat beside him on the bed. “Jonathan, if you want to marry me, I'll say yes. But once I’m married, divorce isn't an option for me. Even if you remember those things from before, I won't leave.”
It wasn’t just about the two of them; it was about uniting their families. A divorce would be a devastating scandal for both families.
Jonathan, grinning, took Ophelia’s hand and caressed it gently. “But I’ve never thought about leaving you.”
Ophelia searched his face for any hint of deception but found only sincerity in his eyes.
Suddenly, she softened. “Alright then, let’s get married.”
On all accounts, Jonathan was the perfect match. Besides, the engagement was set, and turning back wasn't an option.
Holding her hand tight, Jonathan promised, “Ophelia, I'll love you right, and I swear you'll never have to endure hardship because of me.”
Ophelia let out a chuckle.
Such a fool!
...
Saskia’s wedding was imminent.
Holden transferred a part of his savings to her. “Saskia, here’s a cool two million, consider it a wedding gift from me.”
Tears welled up in Saskia's eyes as she took the bank card. “Holden, I’ll miss you.”
“Make sure you come back and visit me after you're married, okay?”
Holden’s only family was Saskia. He hated the idea of her leaving, but now that she had come of age, he could only offer his blessing.
The siblings talked for nearly two hours. Holden carefully advised her not to be capricious or reckless in her marriage.
Saskia listened attentively.
After Holden left, Saskia transferred the money into her personal account.
