Nestled among them was a restaurant with distinctive architectural design, featuring large, luminous floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides. This allowed diners to enjoy a breathtaking view of the vast sea beyond the cliff. To enhance the romantic ambiance, the restaurant was decorated in an extremely cozy and romantic manner, perfect for couples on a leisurely date or celebrating their honeymoon

“Why so quiet? You want to plead with me not to leave you, but you’re too ashamed to say it? If you had realized this sooner, you wouldn’t have made those mistakes. You’ve come to understand, haven’t you? Pretending to be another woman won’t last forever. Once your real identity is exposed, you’re finished. So, you should rely on me, right?
