Love's Farewell: Never Turning Back

Alan was planning a candlelight dinner with me, but I didn't hear a word.

His purchase records and that reply always sting like a thorn.

It hurt my heart.

I couldn't figure out what went wrong.

Alan and I had mutual feelings since high school, and we got together when we were eighteen.

We'd known each other for ten years, and been married for eight years. We both believed that the other was a steadfast lover.

He once filled the university playground with roses and proposed to me in front of all the classmates.

"I, Alan Winston, will only love Donna Todd in this lifetime!!"

"Donna, will you marry me?"

Many people loved him. But Alan never changed and chose me firmly in the ten years.

But I didn't know why he actually cheated on me with Bailey, whom he used to dislike the most.

I was so upset that I trembled all over. I threw the rose with no interest, not even looking at the so-called gift.

Alan noticed my abnormality.

He knelt in front of me with one knee and asked me gently, "Honey, is there anything I didn't prepare well that made you unhappy?"

I stared at his eyes in silence, feeling cold all over.

I asked him, "You haven't mentioned Bailey for a long time. Is she still in your company?"

Alan was stunned.

Perhaps he didn't expect me to mention Bailey. He's a little unnatural.

...

Then he smiled and said, "She is just an ordinary colleague. What's worth mentioning? Besides, today is our wedding anniversary. Let's not talk about work, okay?"

I remained silent and didn't say anything.

But my heart was getting colder and colder.

Things that I hadn't realized before were becoming clearer in my mind.

Those cute emojis that Alan used more often during our chats.

More smiles when he looked at the phone.

More and more frequent overtime work.

It seemed that everything became traceable.
