The next morning, Nana was resting on the bed. The whole night she was raided with Jinhai's memories. The moment she tried to sleep, his face would suddenly appear in front of her eyes. When the morning sun rays hit the windows and lighted the room, Nana slowly got up from the bed. Surely he must have gone by now… Nana shifted the curtain just a little bit and peeked outside. It gave her a shock to know that Jinhai was still standing outside. He was standing like that for the entire night…? But…-

Jinhai lowered his gaze to look at her tear-stained face. His heart broke apart. He wiped her tears with his thumb, but Nana slapped his hand away. "I don't need your concern." Jinhai was utterly confused. On one side, he just wished to take Nana away with him and lock her somewhere from where she would never be able to run away. But on the other side, he couldn't see Nana in pain and tears. His obsession for her was in a war with his sanity. The thought of separation made him shudder in…

Liang villa? Jinhai looked at her stupefied. He knew she was going to start living in the Liang villa from tomorrow. But now, with what happened tonight, he knew that Nana wouldn't come back anytime soon. Nana ignored him and started looking around for a cab. "Nana!" Jinhai stopped her again. "H-How long will you be gone? Nana, please don't go. I-I will-" Nana cut him off. "Leave my way Jinhai." His heart thudded faster and faster as he heard the finality in her tone. "When will you be back?" Nana…

As another strong wave crashed across the shore, the situation Jinhai and Nana came to a standstill. "I love you, so naturally, I wished to be with you. But how could I have interfered when you had a wife! How could I have stepped in between you two? And if I had to make you mine, then I would have tried to ruin your marriage. I would have become the homewrecker. But if I didn't do it that, then it meant that I was against such methods." "You were not wrong in wanting to get out of that marriage. But it…

Nana roared in anger as she glared at him frostily. "Tell me, Jinhai. From the beginning to the end, what did you do that say that you did everything for me or us? All you ever did was stomp on other people's feelings and used them! And those were who didn't even ever hurt you!" Her chest was heaving up and down breathlessly. The kind and gentle Nana who once never knew how to be angry was nowhere to be seen now. "I-" Jinhai tried to talk to her. "Shut up!" Nana raised her hand and stopped him from…

"Was fate really on my side? It made us meet, then as I got the tiny flicker of hope in love, it instantly snatched it away, and when I was going to start with my plan, my own cousin stood in my way as the biggest threat." Jinhai pulled Nana in his embrace. He rested his head in the nape of her neck. The tip of his nose softly brushed on her skin. "I was so torn apart. Jianyu is my cousin. He is my brother. I knew how broken-hearted he was when Suyin left him. We had all seen the pathetic state he was…

Nana clutched his shirt and shook him hard. "Liu Jinhai. You know that I was engaged with Jianyu. Even if Huian falsely married you, you were still married to her! So how could you do that? Tell me, Jinhai. Please, this time…tell the truth and nothing else." Her voice was more like a plea to Jinhai. Tears continuously streamed down her cheeks. The hurt of her slap was nothing as compared to how torn Nana looked right now. He brought the situation where he forced her to beg for answers helplessly. That…

A strong wave crashed at the sea shoreline, making a thundering sound as if lightning had struck. Jinhai blinked his eyes. He didn't understand. "Why not?" Nana said nothing for a few moments. The silence was too heavy to bear even for Jinhai. It felt like some sort of suffocating pressure gripped his chest. Nana turned to face the seaside and watched the rippling salty water mingling with the sand. It sparkled so brightly under the moon. She took a few steps ahead, and her feet once again felt the…

Not a word came out of Nana's mouth as she watched every one of her pictures from the beginning to end in silence. The room was large, and yet there was not even a single piece of any furniture. There were only two things - walls and photo frames on those walls. Nana silently started walking from a corner. There were so many photos that she even herself never saw them. In one of them, there was her playing with the kids in Sunshine orphanage. In other, she was with the twins having fun. Most of her…

The next day, Jinhai had to go to the Liu Corps to check on some arrangements for the surprise he had planned for Nana today. He had asked Xin to fetch a bunch of stuff. He wore on his black coat and adjusted his tie. Sitting on the bed, Nana was drying her hair, who had just come out of a shower. "Are you going to the office today?" Jinhai warmly smiled at her. He placed a peck on her forehead. "Yes. Remember that today I have to give you a grand surprise? So I have to ensure that you will be just as…
