At that Time, I Thought that True Love was Invincible
Chapter 8
Later on, a senior confessed to me, but Liam chased him off and then confessed to me himself.
On the day we made it official, he stuffed a large bouquet of roses into my arms, grinning like a fool.
"Nina, from now on, you'll be Mrs. Liam."
"I'll love you forever."
I smiled and agreed, feeling like my heart was filled with honey, so happy it felt unreal.
At that time, I was constantly anxious, afraid that happiness was just a dream.
When Liam found out, he ruffled my hair and laughed indulgently.
"Silly girl, it's not a dream."
But after discovering Maya, I finally understood.
It wasn't that happiness was a dream. It was that the sunlight had long since stopped shining in my world.
……
The next morning, when I woke up, I was alone in the empty room.
I reached out and touched the space beside me—it was cold.
The sunlight streamed in through the window, adding a warm touch to the room, but I couldn't feel happy.
So, it wasn't a dream!
I walked into the living room, seeing the breakfast on the table and Liam fixing his hair in front of the mirror. I felt a bit lost.
"You're awake? Come have breakfast!"
Liam pulled me to sit down, placing the breakfast in front of me, his eyes brimming with joy he couldn't hide,
"Nina, I'll be on a business trip for a few days. Take care of yourself."
He stood up, ruffled my hair again, and turned to leave. As I watched him put on that blue scarf, I bit my lip and hesitated.
"Can you not go, Liam?"
He gave me a reassuring smile, "The company's car is already downstairs. Be good, I'll be back soon."
"But..."
The door was slammed shut before I finished speaking.
I stood on the balcony and looked down.
Sure enough, that girl Maya was excitedly holding Liam's hand, and he gently patted her head.
I laughed bitterly at myself. How foolish.
