Harlan asked, confused, from the other end. Faintly, he could hear Maricela’s whimpering.

He thought about it. It seemed it was just because he hadn’t agreed to buy Maricela a new house.

He chuckled and hung up the phone.

The whole “only caring about him” and “as long as she was in his heart was enough” thing… he never actually believed it. Back then, he was just willing to spoil her.

Five years ago, when Maricela left, it was right when his business with Harlan and David was facing a setback.

Years of hard work were about to go down the drain.

She wanted to leave back then and broke up with him.

He wasn’t stupid. Of course, he knew the reason why. But he also knew his place; he couldn’t drag her down to suffer with him.

Later, he also heard that a rich kid had gone abroad with her.

He knew all of this.

His depression during that time was half from the breakup and half from his business failing.

He was often drunk, but it wasn’t all just drinking his sorrows away. Most of it was entertaining clients and investors, begging for help. But the night Lucille saved him, he was truly disheartened, because he had hit one wall after another until he had no confidence left and was about to give up.

Then Lucille saved him, trading her healthy legs for his new beginning.

From then on, he carried the weight of another person’s life. At that moment, he told himself: he absolutely could not give up, could not give up. Someone was waiting for him to take responsibility for, waiting for him to provide for.

Sometimes, fate is truly strange.

It was right after that car accident that things took a turn for the better.

When she was discharged from the hospital was when his company came back from the dead

After that, the company took off like a rocket. His wealth grew exponentially, and in five years, money just became a number

And at that moment, Maricela came back.

He faced her with a sense of defiance and resentment, thinking to himself: The man you looked down on back then has made it now, standing before you in all his glory. How do you feel?

Yes, he was holding a grudge.

Just like the new house he decorated when he got married; it was indeed done according to Maricela’s dream.

In reality, back then, his company had just started to turn around. He had funds, but not that much. The new house was bought with a loan, but what he was thinking at the time was: How

about that?

The decor you liked, the password you set, I’ve given them all to another girl. I can afford to.

So, when Maricela returned five years later, he carried this resentment and enjoyed her admiration and affection, feeling a childish satisfaction.

The person who abandoned him back then was now fawning over him, trying to please him. That grudge in his heart was finally settled.

But later, the scales in his heart tipped.

Just like Zoe said, he was shamelessly enjoying affection from two different people, getting lost in the ambiguity.

He basked in Maricela’s adoration, showering her with affection and indulgence out of spite, as if to prove to his former, pathetic self: I’ve made it. I’m all-powerful.

He never even stopped to think about whether he loved her or not.

He just desperately wanted to prove to Maricela how powerful he was, how he could make things happen, and that if he wanted to, he could spoil a woman rotten.

Of course, he hurt Lucille in the process.

But back then, he didn’t think that far ahead; he just slowly lost himself while spending time with

Maricela.

He explained to Lucille that he was just repaying a debt of gratitude to Maricela for being a
