At this moment, at the backstage of the concert.
Dorothy’s eyes were flushed red in Quinn's lounge as she personally helped Quinn to take off her wedding dress carefully. She was a little distressed as she choked up and said, "Quinn, I really do not understand. Since you already decided to wear a wedding dress for the performance at the concert tonight, why didn't you name that guy, Charlie, directly?"
As she spoke of this, she was somewhat indignant as she complained, "If it was up to me, you should have just forced him to marry you directly in front of tens of thousands of viewers and in front of all of your fans in the country! After you put on the wedding dress, you should call out his name directly and ask him to come up on stage. After that, you can ask him when he will b e honoring his promise in front of everyone when the both of you are up on the stage."
Quinn looked at her reflection in the mirror as she carefully removed her shiny diamond earrings and smiled as she said, "You must have watched too many idol romance dramas. Feelings and marriages are not t o be forced. So, why should I use my own influence to put the other party in an awkward spot? It’s not as though no one has ever done this kind of thing in the
entertainment industry before, but didn't they end up i n divorce anyway?"
After she was done speaking, Quinn said very seriously, "Today is the first time that I'm celebrating Brother Charlie’s birthday after so many years. I do not want to take advantage of this opportunity to force him to get married to me. Instead, I simply wanted to personally tell him the kind of feelings that I’ve always had for him all these years. Moreover, I've already made a promise to wait for him for three years. If I were to call his name on the spot at this time and ask him when he would be honoring his promise, I would be the one going back on my own words." 1
Dorothy said dejectedly, "But your love confession scene today was really too big. Moreover, you have also decided to retire from the entertainment industry completely. You have already given up so much for him, so if you don't force him a little more, what if he decides to go back on his word, then? What if he decides not to honor his promise after three years? What are you going to do then?" 4
Quinn said seriously, "I will not blame him if he really cannot keep his promise."
"What?!" Dorothy was dumbfounded, and she said, " You will not blame him?! Quinn, let me tell you, if Charlie Wade does not honor his promise to you after three years, then I, Dorothy Chan, will be the first person to deal with him! When the time comes, I'll certainly expose this heartless and fickle man on the
internet!” 2
Quinn hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense! Brother Charlie's family has been very kind to our family, and his father has helped our family out a lot in the past. Brother Charlie was also the one who saved my father’s life. Since we owe Charlie for his kindness and life-saving grace, no matter what decision Brother Charlie makes, I'll fully and willingly accept it." 3
Dorothy was very upset, and she said, "Quinn Golding, how can you think like that?! He might have shown kindness to your family, but does that mean that you have not shown any love to him? Isn't the video that was played at the beginning of the concert proof of your silent dedication to him for so many years?
Could it be that he could just let you down completely despite your many years of dedication just because he saved your father?!”
Quinn said more or less impatiently, "Sigh, that's enough! You really talk the most! Hurry up and help m e take off this wedding dress. I still have to catch a flight later."
Dorothy hurriedly asked, "Are you leaving tonight?"
"Yes." Quinn said, "Since the concert has already ended, there is nothing else for me to deal with here anymore. You can just stay here and take care of the aftermath with the executive company. I'll go back to Eastcliff first so that I can prepare for my next concert."
Dorothy said, "There is still no need for you to catch such a flight so late at night. Wouldn't it be the same if you rested for one night first and waited until tomorrow before you leave?”
