Howard paused for a moment, as if remembering something, but quickly his expression turned cold again.
“How could I still remember something that happened so long ago?” he said coldly, with a hint of anger. “Besides, Veronica didn’t do it on purpose. How could you just push someone like that?
Veronica’s eyes turned red, she pitifully tugged at his sleeve, saying, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault
Howard furrowed his brow, wiped away her tears with his hand, and said in a low voice “It’s none of your business.

His back was so warm, the rain hitting her felt sweet too.
What about now? He was driving a luxury car worth millions, but he wouldn’t even wait five minutes for
her
She took the medicine, then buried herself under the covers, and fell asleep
She didn’t dare to think about recent events. Just thinking about it, all the sour grievances and pain would
come flooding in
No one knew, what she wanted was never the prince Yaclax Howard, she just wanted that Howard who
squeezed with her in the shabby rental house, would laugh and call her Grete
