Handsome CEO's Darling Wife Chapter 3: TILL YOU SAY, “I LOVE YOU”
Previously on Handsome CEO's Darling Wife...
The season of autumn arrived, marked by the blooming of cherry blossoms.
As dawn broke under a pristine sky, I saw you for the very first time in a park, nestled beneath a cherry tree.
It was love at first sight.
That day remains etched in my memory forever.
Although your gaze was cool, it didn't feel intimidating to me.
For the next month, you served as our lecturer for computer language.
I truly believed it was destiny unfolding.
Initially, you were quite elusive! Hahaha. But you underestimated me; I have a knack for befriending individuals who are cold, reserved, and anti-social. Within a single week, we had become friends!
Our inaugural conversation, the first time you smiled at me, our initial project collaboration, your first compliment, the first time you patted my head, our first hug, seeking shelter from the rain under the same umbrella, sharing our first lunch together on the rooftop... all these moments are cherished memories.
You always treated me with gentleness and offered constant encouragement, making difficult tasks seem effortless.
When my group received the Talent Award for developing a new game, you were the first to congratulate me.
You recognized my disinterest in Computer Science and wisely advised me to pursue a path that would bring me happiness. Yet, I had already committed to the very field I disliked. Were you aware of this? Back then, who could have guessed you were the President of Li Corporation?
Those one month of blissful memories are indelibly imprinted in my mind.
Even after you departed, you maintained contact. Repeatedly, you deepened my affection for you. We even met your family, and your parents were incredibly warm and welcoming. Do you recall how they teased you when I was introduced? They even commented that I was the first woman you'd ever spoken to normally.
You even extended an invitation for me to join your company.
At that moment, do you have any idea how ecstatic I was? Could you fathom the depth of my love for you?
My deepest desire was to hear you utter those three words: “I love you.”
However, five months of happiness were abruptly shattered. Before I could comprehend what was happening, you began to distance yourself. Your tone towards me grew harsh and dismissive.
Why? Why would you do such a thing? Was it something I did wrong?
How could you suddenly develop such animosity towards me?
Did you understand the profound pain I endured?
If only I could have learned the true reason behind your sudden estrangement.
I’ve always believed that every action has an explanation, and that understanding takes time.
Nevertheless, that time never arrived.
You were married just a month later. The announcement was so abrupt that it took me considerable time to process the reality of the situation.
The agony was so overwhelming that I struggled to breathe for a period. My heart felt as though it would cease beating entirely. It was on that day I truly understood the meaning of a bleeding heart.
It was then that the realization dawned upon me: you wished to keep your distance, didn't you?
You had no desire to be with me.
Was it your intention to toy with my emotions?
Or perhaps your sole aim was to inflict suffering upon me?
I remain without answers, as the opportunity to discover them was never granted. Yet, one truth is undeniable.
You harbor resentment towards me.
That must be the reason you were capable of inflicting such hurt.
If your intention was solely to marry my sister, why then did you approach me with such kindness, a demeanor you rarely showed others? Why did you make me feel so uniquely special?
And now, you seek to erase me from your life entirely?
Very well, I give you my word. From this day forward, I shall cast aside all memories.
Until the day I finally hear you say, “I love you.”
Until then, farewell, cherished memories.
