A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 1282

"I didn't want to see him live in loneliness and in grief for the rest of his life. I thought it would be good to have someone by his side. Maybe he would be cheered up..."

"But in the end, it turned out I was wrong. I overestimated myself. I could not make him happy. He hated me. I didn't get to live a single happy day either..."

"Well, I've talked so much. I'm feeling tired. You must be tired of listening to me out. I used to think that without love, just for Brad's sake, I should stick with our marriage." "But I'm so tired. I'm exhausted. It had been eight years, countless days and nights. He was no longer relevant to me now. I gave him my first love and my years of youth. That was enough."

"From now on, I want to live my own life. A s for Luke, I don't love him anymore. I used to be a blind moth flying to the fire. Now I don't love him anymore. It's getting late. I should leave now. I’ll bring Brad to see you i n a few days. You haven't seen him for a long time..."

Eileen said so much to the tomb and she felt relaxed. She was relieved.

Now she had really let go of everything.

For so long, she had kept these thoughts on her mind. She had no one to talk to.

Eileen smiled and waved her hand. Then she walked away slowly, dragging her limp leg.

The road was a little bumpy and Eileen stumbled on her feet. She almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she held onto a tree to steady herself.

When Eileen left, a tall figure came out from nearby.

It was Luke.

He also had a bunch of red roses in his hand.

Night fell. The whole cemetery seemed to b e covered with a haze of darkness.

The cold wind blew and the corners of his coat fluttered. It rattled slightly.

Luke stood in silence. He swallowed and he fastened his gaze on the distant figure walking away.

Just before, he heard every word Eileen had said.

After a long time, he walked over to the tomb and placed the roses with the ones Eileen had brought. The roses were crimson.
