After the Last Tear: Rising from the Ashes of a Broken Marriage By Cassila K

Chapter 115

He turned to his desk, opened his computer, and began working.

In the days that followed, Nolan acted as if nothing had happened.

He ate meals with Evangeline, went shopping, watched movies, and even shared photos of them on social media with captions like "Having you for the rest of my life is enough."

Evangeline smiled sweetly, holding his arm, her eyes filled with happiness. "Nolan, you've been so good to me lately."

Nolan glanced down at her, his lips curving into a faint smile. "You're my future wife.It's my duty."

Evangeline's smile brightened as she leaned against his shoulder, as if she were the happiest woman in the world.

Seeing Nolan's change, his father sighed with relief.

He patted Nolan's shoulder, his tone satisfied. "Nolan, you've finally forgot her. Evangeline is a wonderful girl. You two will be happyniess."

Nolan nodded, maintaining a subtle smile. "Don't worry, Dad. We will."

Only Nolan himself knew how much he was suffering inside.

In the quiet hours of the night, he couldn't help thinking about Aurelia.

Her smile, her tears, her tenderness, her betrayal.

These memories were like knives repeatedly cutting into his heart, causing excruciating pain.

Then one day, he received an invitation to a class reunion.

Nolan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, holding the invitation, his brow slightly furrowed.

He hadn't planned to attend. Those memories of his youth had been sealed away, and he had no desire to revisit them.

However, Evangeline approached him excitedly, taking his arm with a playful tone. "Nolan, it's been so long since we've seen our classmates. Let's go together, shall we? We don't have anything else planned."
