His arrival left everybody stunned.
Cecilia’s mother was the first to react. Seeing that her son-in-law Christopher really was going to slip
through their fingers, she quickly latched onto Stefan instead.
“So you’ve come, Stefan! Cecy here has been talking about you just now. There’s been a
misunderstanding between you two. I think it’s high time you clear it all up!”
“The truth is,” she continued, “Cecy was inexperienced and very naive emotionally through those years.
That’s why she…”
“Mom!” Cecilia interrupted her, feeling humiliated. “Didn’t I tell you to stop talking about that?”
Both of these men once loved her deeply, but right now, neither of them wanted her. This came as,
without a doubt, a huge blow to a woman like her. If her mother kept on fawning over these men, trying
to please them so they’d take her back, she would soon be left without a shred of dignity!
Christopher, on the other hand, seemed unperturbed. He even casually patted Stefan’s shoulder and
half-joked, “I’ll leave everything here to you now. I trust that you’ll handle everything well.”
His calm and nonchalant attitude made Stefan seem like the groom who had wrongfully left his bride at
the altar, not him.
Stefan wasted no time and asked Cecilia, “Would it be convenient for you if we spoke in private?”
Cecilia bit her lips and nodded almost flirtily. “How could it be inconvenient when it comes to you?”
Stefan then followed Cecilia into the private ward. Once they were both inside, Stefan closed the door.
They were initially standing very close to each other, but when Stefan noticed that Cecilia was trying to
get nearer to him, he took a huge step back away from her.
“You fell into the sea and almost drowned,” he said. “I think you’d better lie down and rest.”
This made it awkward for Cecilia, but she then quietly stepped away from him and returned to her bed.
Yet when she looked into Stefan’s eyes, she saw that they were gentle and filled with affection.
“So you’re not as cold and heartless as you look!” she observed. “I still mean something to you, and
you still care about me, right?”
“Of course I do,” Stefan replied honestly, not trying to deny anything.’ You’re still the woman I used to
love very much, and you’re one of my few confidantes. I’m not a robot made of steel and iron, so of
course, you mean a lot to me, and I definitely do care about you.”
“Used to?” Cecilia smiled bitterly. There was such a painful expression on her face that it was obvious
how heartbroken she was. “I’d rather you never loved me at all. That way, I’d never have to endure this
agonizing pain of losing you.”
That feeling of being loved was so blissful and perfect that it made it that much more excruciating when
she realized that she had lost the love he used to feel for her!
‘Not this again!’ Stefan thought, helplessly massaging his temples.
He had no idea when the Cecilia Smith he knew, who used to be so level headed, independent, and
optimistic, would become so difficult, a person whose mind was filled with nothing but love and
romance!
“Let’s not talk about this anymore,” he replied coldly. “Let’s just let go of the past and move on. The
more you bring it up, the more you’ll make it
awkward between us. We might end up not even able to be friends with each other.”
“So you’re saying there really is no chance for us?” Cecilia asked, unable to take it anymore. With tears
in her eyes and having lost most of her self control, she began to raise her voice. “Even if both you and I
are not married, even if we’re both single right now, there’s no chance we’d be together again?’
“That’s right!” Stefan answered without any hesitation. Looking straight into Cecilia’s eyes, he attested,
“There’s no chance we’d get back together. I don’t love you anymore, and it doesn’t matter if you’ll
marry Christoper. Do you understand?”
Cecilia felt as if her heart was slashed into a thousand pieces. Because of the extreme agony she felt,
her face was drained of all color, and she looked frail and weak.
But this time, she no longer had any stupid notion of ending her life.
‘Men are just dumb pigs!’ she thought. ‘They’re just not worth it!’
Cecilia took a deep breath and wiped away her tears. Then, with a stony face, she asked, “Since you
have no feelings left for me, why pretend you cared and took the trouble to come all the way here?”
“There’s only you and me here now,’ said Stefan, getting straight to the point. “Can you tell me if Renee
actually pushed you into the sea?’
“Hahahaha!”
Cecilia, who had been weeping bitterly just moments ago, suddenly burst into laughter as if she had
just heard a hilarious joke. In fact, she kept laughing uncontrollably for a while.
Stefan frowned, visibly displeased. He asked her, “What so bloody funny?
