7 Yet all she got was the same phone is off message .
Meanwhile , I had already arrived in the capital city .
Though I was worried about my parents before leaving , I knew they were in relatively good health .
Besides , I wasnt cutting ties with them forever .
A lot had happened lately , and with the early stages of a startup being hectic , I just wanted to focus on making money and didnt have the mind to think about anything else .
After meeting with Ethan Harrison , he led me straight to the company .
You were the top student in our class .
I trust you completely with the tech part .
As for the investment , Ive already brought in a few shareholders .
Now that youre here , we can officially start the research .
He said while studying me .
I heard from someone that youre getting married soon ? Planning to start a family ? I paused slightly while flipping through files .

It didnt seem necessary to hide this , so I admitted it directly .
The weddings off .
Im single now .
What happened ? Did you fight with your girlfriend ? Or was the dowry not settled ? But wasnt your girlfriend your childhood betrothal ? How come its suddenly off ? I didnt explain much , just shook my head .
Probably noticing I didnt want to talk about it , Ethan Harrison didnt press further and focused on updating me on the projects progress .
Though Id been out of school for years , I quickly got up to speed with the project and had a general technical direction in mind after just a few hours .
The days in the capital city passed quickly with the startup .
Maybe it was because I had hope and goals , so every day felt fulfilling .
But what I didnt expect was for Nora to track me down in the capital .
Just as our first project was reaching a milestone , and we were heading out for a meal , we bumped into Nora at the company entrance .
The moment she saw me , tears streamed down her face , and she ran toward me .
Ethan Harrison gave me a knowing look , even giving me a nudge on the shoulder .
Whatever it is , talk it out .
You grew up together , know each others families .
Dont let a small thing ruin a relationship and miss out on a life partner .
Maybe in a past life , I would have believed that .
But this time , I wasnt willing to repeat the same mistakes .
There was never any misunderstanding .
If Nora truly had feelings for me , she wouldnt have been ambiguous with me for twenty years while secretly interacting with my brother .
So from the beginning , she never had me in her heart .
Given that , no matter how we talked , the result would be the same .
The reason shes here now is because she discovered the truth , realizing that Declan wasnt as great as she imagined .
So she feels guilty towards me , mistaking that guilt for love .
While thinking this , Nora stood before me , holding my hand , her eyes red with tears .
< I was wrong before .
I shouldnt have misunderstood you , shouldnt have doubted you .
Please dont be mad at me .
You dont know how hard its been for me .
I almost thought you died in a car crash .
For a moment , I wanted to follow you .
