That was not something anyone would know. At tha moment, a shiver coursed through Sean's body.
When he walked out of the office, he felt completely drained, as if his soul had been sucked out.
He didn't want to lose his job. After all, Cecilia's well-being was on the line. In the end, he had no choice but to make the statement.
He didn't deny his relationship with Cecilia. Instead, he took full responsibility.
"In light of the recent online rumors, I want to provide some clarification. Cecilia Lambert and I have known each other for many years and were once in a relationship, but we broke up long ago. Afterward, I became engaged with Ms. Annie Steward.
"However, during the engagement, I realized I could never forget Cecilia. After careful consideration, I chose to follow my heart and requested that Ms. Steward release me from our engagement.
"I solemnly declare that I only got back together with Cecilia after officially ending my engagement with Ms. Steward. The so-called 'homewrecker' rumors circulating online are completely false.
"This whole situation is entirely my fault. My failure to manage my personal emotions has caused great harm and distress to both women. I extend my sincerest apologies to Ms. Steward."
Sean's long post spun the story his way, portraying himself as a passionate man returning to true love. Cecilia, in turn, became his first love, who had been let down, only to be cherished once more.
Once the post went live, public opinion shifted immediately.
The previous wave of insults instantly turned into sympathy for the "star-crossed lovers".
"Oh, so that's how it is. I knew Dr. Frost wasn't that kind of person!"
"Wow, that's so touching. That's definitely true love!"
"Reuniting after a breakup? I wish Dr. Frost and Ms. Lambert all the best!"
Scrolling through the comments, Sean finally felt some of his stress ease up.
He'd kept his job, saved his reputation, and even gained a wave of sympathy.
It seemed this move had paid off.
After handling the online drama, Sean rushed to Cecilia's ward.
She was scrolling through the forum on her phone. Upon seeing him, her face lit up with a bright smile.
