“May I ask, Ms. Sutton, why did you choose to become a psychologist? Was there a specific reason?”
Selene’s eyes were clear and shallow, yet they did not conceal anything.
“It was because there are too many joys and sorrows in the world, I didn’t want my lover to always be frowning, I wanted to understand him.”
Afterwards, Lucian buried his head in Selene’s arms and whimpered, “Who is the lover you mentioned? Is it Preston? Selene, even though you love me now, I still feel jealous. You have suffered so much in the past, always thinking of others, but never truly being treated with sincerity.”
no
Selene was somewhat surprised by Lucian’s response.
If you really trace it back, she wanted to become a psychologist because of one thing.
At that time, Lucian was very quiet and indifferent to others, especially cold and sarcastic in front of his family. Only towards her, he was passionate and warm. But Selene didn’t want him to always be like that. At that time, she saw Lucian as a friend, and she just wanted her friend to be happy.
So at that time, she made up her mind that she would definitely become an excellent psychologist in the future.
But Selene did not explain, she enjoyed Lucian being jealous because of
her.
Perhaps, at some point, she would tell Lucian that after all, there are no secrets between lovers.

On a very ordinary day, Lucian proposed to her. The romantic roses filled the entire venue, Lucian dressed up for the occasion, and she also attended in a bright red dress, beautiful and elegant, following Lucian’s
hint.
She smiled gently, happiness wafting in her eyes.
There were people who remembered her words and cared about her feelings.
Lucian gently wrapped his arms around her waist, carefully taking out a shiny pink diamond ring from the ring box, which complemented Selene’s delicate and fair hand.
“Would you marry me?”
Lucian once again gave the choice to Selene.
He knew that Selene had too much on her plate and was overwhelmed, so he repeatedly handed the decision–making power over to Selene.
Despite having a crush on Selene for so many years, he still does.
Selene blushed and nodded, then hugged Lucian back.
At their proposal spot, Preston stood silently in the corner.

His eyes were dull and dark circles appeared underneath them, his spirits were low, and he often experienced hallucinations. However, he was unwilling to seek treatment because only when he was sick could he see Selene. Once he received medication, Selene would no longer appear in his world.
After Mira came out of the police station, she once came to see him. Upon seeing his miserable appearance, she begged him to seek treatment, but Preston couldn’t bring himself to listen to her.

He treated Mira as if she were air, completely ignoring her.
However, Mira was still talking to herself.
“Preston, she already doesn’t care about you anymore. Do you still want to embarrass yourself like this? You need to move forward, don’t you know? Are you unable to live without Selene?”
She intended to provoke Preston, but she didn’t expect to become Preston’s motivation.
Upon hearing this, Preston walked straight towards the rooftop and was pulled back by Mira just before he was about to jump.
Memories of Mira’s past actions replayed in his mind, simultaneously fueling his disgust towards her.
He viciously grabbed Mira by the neck and gritted his teeth, saying, “It’s all because of you! It’s all because of you deceiving me. If it weren’t for you repeatedly lying to me, repeatedly causing me to misunderstand Selene, how could she have left me? It’s all because of you!”
Mira was pinched so hard that she saw stars, struggling to come down from the rooftop railing, but was firmly restrained by Preston.

The suffocating feeling left her powerless to struggle, but the sense of grievance spread endlessly in her heart.
She clearly only liked Preston and wanted to be the only one in his eyes, but why did it have to be like this?
Struggling, Mira fell from the tall building. Until the last second of her life, her gaze never left Preston.
Preston smiled bitterly and left before Selene came down to toast, his figure fading into the background.

I heard that Selene’s wedding was in a month, and time was running out.
At the same time, San Francisco also began to pursue Preston.
Preston could only try his best to stay out of sight, but on Selene’s wedding day, he still took the risk of being caught and showed up.
Watching Selene’s bright, gentle, and beautiful smile at the wedding, Preston was momentarily stunned.
She was so beautiful.
She wasn’t always aggressive after all.
She was actually so easy to conquer.
He cried uncontrollably, pouring whiskey into his stomach one glass after another, until he looked dazed.
Selene noticed Preston in the corner, her gaze briefly lingering on him for a moment before quickly shifting away.
For her, Preston was already the past tense.
She no longer dwells on the past.
Lucian casually grabbed her palm and teased, “What’s wrong, Ms. Sutton? Is the handsome guy next to you not enough for you?”
Selene smiled and flicked Lucian’s nose, saying, “Alright, I didn’t see anything, I was just casually glancing around.”
Lucian didn’t trouble her anymore, he just took her hand and greeted the guests politely.
The wedding had just ended when Preston was arrested by the police. In fact, the police had known his whereabouts for a while, but Preston

voluntarily turned himself in. His last hope was to attend Selene’s wedding.
After seeing the person he had once loved in his youth go off to happiness, his wish had been fulfilled.
But when he thought that he would have nothing to do with Selene from now on, he felt a deep fear again. So he thought about turning himself in, but he was afraid of ruining Selene’s wedding, so he consulted with the police.
He didn’t see Preston look back again until the car drove away from Selene.

Preston thought to himself, this was truly the greatest punishment for him, to never see his loved one again.
Lucian patted Selene and explained to her, “He pushed his girlfriend off the rooftop, even though he has a serious mental illness. The sentencing over there won’t be light, he may spend the rest of his life in prison.”
He gazed quietly at Selene’s profile for a long time before reaching out to embrace her.
“Wife, you have suffered too much in the past, I know all about those things. The night before we got married, he came to see me and asked me to take good care of you.”
“I will definitely treat you well, after all, I pursued you for so long before finally winning you over, he doesn’t need to say that.”
Selene gently looked at Lucian’s triumphant expression, her smile reaching her eyes.
But she didn’t say anything. In that moment of eye contact, a thousand words were just that.
