That year, I changed my name back to Willow
Lewis.
Mom told me, “Willow, you’ve used your name
for so long. You don’t have to change it.”
“No, I want to change it back.”
く
That man wasn’t my dad anymore.
I didn’t want to share a last name with
someone named Chelsea.
I always remembered my grandpa, who loved
me, and my mom, who was killed while trying
to clear my name.
I only wanted their name.
My mom cried. “Good girl, your grandpa can
rest in peace.”
On my 28th birthday, my mom held a birthday
party for me. Many of the city’s entrepreneurs
came and introduced their sons to me and my
L
mom.
I realized that my mom wanted to find a
talented young man for me.
Chad came without an invitation.
While I was changing dresses, I saw him
waiting at the stairs with a bouquet of roses.
When he saw me, he smiled. “Willow.”
I was confused. “My dad and mom are divorced. Chelsea doesn’t live here, right?”
“I know,” Chad said awkwardly. “I’m not here
to see her.”
<
I stopped and listened.
“I’m here to see you, Willow. I heard your
mom is going to choose a husband for you
tonight, but we’re already engaged, right?”
I laughed. “Chad, have you lost your memory?
Our engagement was cancelled. You’re
engaged to Chelsea.”
ו!
Chad hesitated. “Willow, if you hadn’t been hiding your abilities, my family wouldn’t have
wanted to change the marriage candidate.”
I thought it was funny. I wasn’t hiding my abilities in my past life, but what happened? He still fell for Chelsea.
r
I didn’t argue and rushed back to the party.
Chad grabbed me again. “Willow, I was wrong before. I realized that Chelsea can’t compare to you.”
Chelsea had been sent abroad to study, but
she couldn’t graduate.
She had affairs with black men.
Compared to my talents, the Bennet family
regretted their decision.
When they heard that my mom was looking for a husband for me, they rushed over.
く
Chad’s parents were talking to my mom.
It was ridiculous. When my mom and I were
being mistreated, the Bennet family didn’t
help us.
I felt sick and avoided him. “Chad, we can’t
be together. Leave me alone.”
Chad didn’t leave. He cornered me.
“Willow, don’t be angry anymore.”
He wrapped his arms around my waist and
tried to kiss me.
I didn’t expect him to do that. I pushed him
<
away.
The next second, I was slapped.
“Willow Lewis! You shameless bitch! How
dare you seduce my fiancé!”
I was dizzy. Before I could react, someone tore my hair
I was pushed to the ground.
The security guards pulled them apart. I saw
Chelsea and her mom.
Everyone gathered around.
<
My mom hugged me and fixed my hair.
“Security, kick them out!”
“No,” I said. “Don’t kick them out. Call the
police!”
“Call the police! Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Chelsea shouted. “I’m going to show everyone how you seduce my fiancé!”
The police came.
They checked the surveillance.
Chad described Chelsea’s behavior in
America and said that he wanted to get back
together with me. The crowd whispered.
<
“Oh, my God, she had affairs with black
men!”
“Yeah, her dad is bankrupt, and she’s useless.
She has to cling to the Bennet family! But the
Bennet family isn’t stupid. They want to run
away!”
“They’re sisters, but they’re so different.”
Chad turned pale and tried to retreat, but
Chelsea grabbed him.
“Chad! I’m your fiancée! I had a baby for you!
How could you do this to me?”
Chad shouted, “Did you think of me when you
<
were with black men? I’m going to call off the
engagement! You’re trash! You’re nothing
compared to your sister!”
Chelsea and her mom went crazy and
attacked Chad. The police couldn’t stop them. Chad was pushed down the stairs.
Chad hit his head and broke a rib.”
Chelsea and her mom begged Chad for forgiveness, but Chad refused to forgive them.
Chelsea and her mom were sentenced to
three years in prison.
<
Chelsea and Brandi asked my dad to help
them, but he never showed up.
Brandi had been unfaithful to my dad.
After leaving my dad, she found other men.
My dad realized that his one true love and his
daughter couldn’t be trusted.
Two years later, I married the man I loved.
The wedding was held at the city’s biggest
hotel.
My dad appeared backstage.
I asked, “What are you doing here?”
<
My dad whispered, “Willow, the past is over.
I’m still your dad. People will gossip if there’s
no dad at the wedding. We’re still family. Your mom and I can get back together.”
I smiled and said, “Mom.”
My mom wore a red dress and walked out of
the lounge with the city’s famous
entrepreneur.
My dad trembled. “You, you…”
I giggled. “Dad, this is called a second spring. Are they a good match?”
My mom smiled. “I forgot to tell you. Our
<
wedding is next month. Don’t forget to
come.”
“Bride and groom, get ready!” The staff
reminded us.
The wedding march played.
I ignored my dad, took my groom’s hand, and walked toward the front of the stage.
He cheated when he was young and
abandoned his family. Now he wants to come
back when he’s old.
There’s no such thing.
Iotting him live along was the grootst morou
There’s no such thing.
Letting him live alone was the greatest mercy.
