Second Option 9

Chapter 9 

On the weekend, Ethan prepared a romantic candlelit dinner. 

1/4 

I cut open the cake and found a beautiful diamond ring inside. He said he wanted to give me a grand wedding. 

But I fell silent. 

For the past few days, I’d had something on my mind. 

Ethan could tell something was bothering me, so he patiently waited for me to speak. 

After struggling for a while, I finally made up my mind. 

“Ethan, would you wait for me?” I asked. 

He looked at me, surprised. 

I said, “I got an invitation from a top design school in Falden. I want to go there and further my studies.” 

Ethan smiled, “That’s great. If it’s your decision, I’ll support you no matter what.” 

I wrapped my arms around him and softly asked, “Will you wait for me?” 

He gently brushed

I stood on tiptoe and initiated a kiss. 

“Ethan, let’s make a bet?” 

“Huh?” 

“I won’t let you lose.” 

“Alright.”

J Two years later, I returned from Falden, now an internationally 

recognized designer worthy of Ethan’s status. 

He threw me a grand wedding. 

I wore a white wedding dress, holding my father’s hand as I walked slowly toward Ethan. 

His gaze was full of tenderness. 

In front of our parents and friends, we exchanged rings and made our vows.

Samuel’s Story 

3/4 

I sat in the empty room, staring blankly at a photo I took with Selina. 

In the photo, Selina smiled brightly, but I looked reluctant. 

I still remembered how she had begged me before I agreed to take that photo with her. 

Back then, her eyes were always on me. 

I lit a cigarette, leaned back on the couch, and closed my eyes. 

I never thought I loved Selina that much. 

Her devotion to me seemed natural at the time. 

I even used to make her jealous on purpose. 

I firmly believed that no matter how much I hurt her, she’d never leave me. 

But when I saw her with Ethan, I panicked. 

I never thought I’d be so scared of losing her. 

But no matter how much I begged, she never looked back. 

Sometimes, one would not look back until he lost the things that were precious to them.

But by then, it was too late. 

In the blur, I thought I saw Selina coming back.

She was busy in the kitchen, smiling and asking what I wanted 

to eat. 

Tears filled my eyes. I whispered, “I just want you back.” 

But when I reached out to hug her, she disappeared. 

Selina would never come back. 

I had lost that girl who only had eyes for me.
