Chapter 1280 ‘I was thinking at that time, didn’t she want me to marry her? Her
cautions, her understanding, and all her grievances were all fake?
‘It was not that I didn’t sympathize with her, but whenever I sympathized with this
woman and wanted to make up for her, she gave me a feeling that she didn’t need me
to sympathize with her.
‘Was she heartless? I didn’t know, and I didn’t want to know. Even though I had a fling
with Sandy, and she actually knew about it, she had never stopped me. Was she so
self-abased?
‘Actually, no, she was not self-abased. She was just colder and more heartless than any
ordinary woman.
‘I started to feel like I could never see through her. She would be happy whenever I
treated her better.

Even if I offered to accompany her to dinner, she would always come up with any kind
of excuse to avoid me.
‘Yes, she started avoiding me.
‘Perhaps it was because I had already gotten used to her being obedient and doing things my way all the time. I
could not get used to it when she suddenly stopped behaving in that way.
‘And Sandy had already returned to me. Wouldn’t it be best to terminate the engagement?
‘But I didn’t want to terminate the engagement. I didn’t know what went wrong, let alone why I wouldn’t want to
terminate the engagement. Was it because I had fallen for her?
‘But how could that be possible? How could I fall for such a filthy woman? Sandy was perfect, she was the ex I
couldn’t get my mind off and the woman I loved. So how could Pearl even compete with her? she didn’t even
deserve a chance to compete with Sandy.
‘But it was not until the other day when she ran into the indescribable scene between Sandy and me. A trace of
surprise could be seen on her face at that time, and the disappointment that flashed across her eyes seemed to
vanish in an instant. I clearly saw the loneliness that surged from the bottom of her eyes, but it was soon replaced
with indifference.
“‘Sorry for disturbing you.” she stood still at the door for a second or two, then turned away and left.
‘“ Pearl! ” I panicked at that time. I put on my clothes and chased after her. I stepped forward and pulled her back,
but instead of apologizing to her as I intended to, I let it slip out of his mouth. “Since you ’vé seen it, I won’t explain
anything to you, but I don’t want anyone to know about this.”
‘I was shocked by my own words after they escaped my mouth, why wouldn’t I want her to talk out about it? I would
be able to get the engagement terminated if she were to speak up about my relationship with Sandy.
‘The moment Pearl looked at me expressionlessly, I panicked. I was afraid that she might misunderstand or realize
something, so I explained, “I don’t want to see anyone humiliating Sandy in public.”
‘She lowered her gaze and pursed her lips. “Got it.”

believed that Sandy was the one that I loved.
‘Except for that one time, I had never touched Sandy again. And when Sandy asked me
if I didn’t love her anymore, I affirmed that I still loved her, but the reason that I gave
her was that Pearl and I still had a marriage agreement. Thus, to protect the two
families ' reputation, I could no longer get it on with her until the agreement was
officially canceled.
‘I thought this explanation was reasonable too, but when I saw Sandy’s hesitation and
melancholy, I began to ask myself if it was truly like that.
‘But I didn’t expect that Sandy would get pregnant after that one time.
‘When Sandy appeared at our wedding and told me she was pregnant with my child,
my mind went blank. I stared at Pearl, but there was no expression on her face. She
was calmer than anyone else present.
‘I didn’t want to leave her and take Sandy away. I would have stayed if she were to ask
me to complete the ceremony at that time.’
