Wild joy forcefully overwhelmed her heart. The happiness seemed to explode in her mind like countless fireworks.

When she left his villa earlier today, her heart had been aching, cold, and bitter. Seeing the video of him and Marilyn at the courthouse had plunged her into a sea of despair. She couldn’t believe the turn of events—that he would actually say he loved her.

The trees of fireworks were still blooming in her heart and mind, leaving her speechless. As she was drowning in this boundless joy, she heard Victor’s voice again, thick with frantic insecurity. “You left without a word and refused to acknowledge me. Is it because you hate me that much?”

I hate him? That misunderstanding was simply too absurd.

Adeline was not a melodramatic girl. She loved him, and now that she knew he felt the same, she would wholeheartedly rush to him. She wouldn’t let a misunderstanding ferment and cause them to miss their chance.

She quickly explained, “I didn’t leave without a word.”

“I woke up before you did that morning. I heard a knock and someone outside saying you’d ordered breakfast, so I got out of bed and opened the door. I didn’t even get a good look at the person’s face before she threw powder at me. I instantly lost consciousness. Luckily, a kind person helped me and took me to the hospital. When I was discharged, I intended to find you and explain everything. But then I got a video call from Marilyn. She said you were getting married and asked me to be a bridesmaid, and I clearly saw her in your room. I despise mistresses. I didn’t want to interfere in someone else’s relationship. I thought you two were already together, so of course, I didn’t try to find you. Later, she told me she was pregnant and that you were very happy. That made it even more impossible for me to bring up that night.”

Victor instantly understood. The person who had knocked on the door pretending to be hotel staff that morning must have been Marilyn. Marilyn must have drugged Adeline, dragged her away somewhere, and then rushed back to the guest room to make him think she was the girl who saved him.

He was desperate for Adeline not to think he had been involved with Marilyn before that night. He quickly clarified, “I had no prior contact with Marilyn before that night. She was in my room only because I believed she was the girl who saved me. Even though she wasn’t attractive to me at all, I felt obligated to take responsibility for her. I never spent time alone with her. When she was in my room, I wasn’t even there. Marilyn has done many bizarre things. The first day she came to my house, she stole many of Lily’s valuable jewels and brazenly claimed they belonged to her. I hated myself then. I thought my inability to control myself had brought so much trouble onto my family. I convinced myself I had to marry Marilyn out of obligation. I thought my life was over. Thank God the girl that night was you…”

Finished

Thinking of his recent pain and struggle made Victor’s fingertips tremble. He couldn’t imagine what his life would be like now if Lily hadn’t found that charm and called him just in time.

He was relieved that the truth was out. He didn’t have to be shackled to the pest Marilyn for life, and he still had a chance to share a long life with Adeline.

The more he thought about it, the more relieved he was, and the more grateful he was that the girl who had made him lose control that night was the one who made his heart beat: Adeline.

He still believed he couldn’t be her senior. If the baby in her belly was his, it couldn’t be the senior’s. He assumed she had used her senior as an excuse to deny him.

But her deep, sincere love for that senior was real. The memory of her drunkenly mumbling about how much she loved her senior made Victor feel as if his heart were submerged in old vinegar.

But even if she still loved another, he wasn’t going to let go.

He tightened his grip on her hand, carefully and stubbornly pulling her into his arms. “Adeline, I know you love your senior very much. But last night, when you were drunk, you said he was going to marry someone else… He made promises to you, then turned around and left you for another woman. He is faithless, heartless, and not the right man for you. I will treat you wonderfully. I will be a good father and take good care of our child. I will spoil you, love you, and protect you. Will you please… please stop loving that heartless bastard and give me a chance to pursue you? Will you try to love me?”
