Chapter 217

I had Allen take me to the Perez family, leaving Leland, with a severe heartache.

But losing is always losing in the end.

I stumbled my way to the Perez family, and to my surprise, the yard was filled with cherry trees.

I silently flipped through the plastic-sealed instruction manuals hanging on each tree.

A cherry tree, symbolizing that all the stars are you in my eyes. Kaylie, do you still remember your twelfth birthday? I attended the parent-teacher meeting for you, and you sat in my lap. You said you would always listen to me for the rest of your life, you are my little fool.”

Two cherry trees, symbolizing my deep love for you. On your 18th birthday, Kaylie, you confessed your feelings to me. I was overjoyed, like a child, spinning around the room while holding you. You said that in this lifetime, you would only love me.”

Three cherry trees, symbolizing my infinite love for you. Kaylie, I finally married you, you are like an elf who has taken up residence in my heart. On our wedding night, I cried with excitement, holding you, I vowed to cherish you for a lifetime.”

Four cherry trees, symbolizing my possessiveness towards you. Kaylie, do you know that you are about to graduate from college, and according to my investigation, there are three guys who are planning to confess their love to you at your graduation ceremony. I scared away one, chased away another, and the remaining one is said to have secretly loved you for many years. I had people block him a few times, but they were all knocked down by his bodyguards. I know that guy is not simple, so I can only make you stay at home and deceive you by pretending to be sick!

Five cherry trees, carrying my longing, bind you. Kaylie, do you know why I tried to stop you from going to the University of Oxford? It’s because I know the boy who has secretly loved you for many years is waiting for you there. I couldn’t wait to marry you when you were only 22 because I was afraid of losing you. I even don’t want you to know too much, I just want you to be clueless and be a happy little princess who relies on me for everything.”

“Six cherry trees, symbolizing my overwhelming guilt and deception towards you. Kaylie, do you know how crazy the outside world is? The intoxicating and materialistic lifestyle can easily lead one astray. Lost in the passion and excitement, I betrayed myself by treating someone new as my love, causing harm to you!”

*Seven cherry trees, symbolizing my deep apologies and helplessness. Kaylie, do you know how much I love you? I was afraid of the danger of you getting pregnant, so I planned to let that woman have a child for you. But I didn’t seek your consent beforehand, so you will never forgive me in this lifetime. I truly regret that I was so greedy for the passion and excitement she offered, and I neglected you.”
