Your Heart Didn't Recognize Me novel Chapter 4

Keira returned home after being discharged from the hospital and started clearing everything that had to do with Vincent. The journal she'd written in when she was younger, love letters she'd penned, photos she'd secretly taken of him, gifts she'd wanted to give him, surprises she'd prepared…

These were things she'd wanted to give him after getting together with him. She'd wanted to tell him the story of her secret love for him.

But now, she knew that there was no way they would ever be together. These things would never be put to use.

Keira threw them all away. When she turned around, she ran into Vincent, who was dropping Kimberly off. He glanced at the trash can before looking at her, his gaze as cold as ever.

Kimberly also saw the things and clung to his arm, smiling as she turned on the charm. "I think she's really learned her lesson this time, Vincent. I'm sure she won't bother you anymore. She's my sister, after all. Don't be so cold to her."

Vincent looked at Keira coldly. "I've always been cold to people I don't like. I can't bring myself to be nice to them."

Keira listened to them without saying anything. She merely took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions as she returned to her room.

…

It was Kimberly's birthday the following day, and she had a grand birthday celebration. The guests milled about in the banquet hall and chatted among themselves.

"This is a birthday celebration Mr. Slater has thrown for his fiancée. It's truly a grand affair! I heard that the flowers were imported from Iropa this morning, and fireworks are going to be set off for three consecutive days in celebration.

"You see the jewelry set that Ms. Kimberly has on now? It's worth billions of dollars. Mr. Slater went to Sutherbye to bid on them himself!"

"He's gone all out to please his beloved, hasn't he? Ms. Kimberly is truly fortunate to be able to marry him, and the York family's status has skyrocketed because of this. It's too bad they have a ticking time bomb like Keira, who constantly covets Mr. Slater. She's so shameless!"

"Tell me about it. She and Ms. Kimberly are sisters, yet she can't compare to Ms. Kimberly at all, whether in terms of appearance or personality. Yet she has the nerve to pester Mr. Slater! She's truly twisted! If I had a daughter like her, I'd want nothing more than to kick her out. Mr. and Mrs. York are truly kind to still have her around!"

Keira listened to them, her heart calm and unaffected. She stood in a corner like she was invisible. She didn't want to attract anyone's attention.

Nearby, Frank, Melinda, and Vincent surrounded Kimberly like she was a star in the sky. They helped her arrange the train of her gown, field the people who wanted to toast her, light the candles on the cake for her, and sing her a birthday song.
