Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 286 286: The only regret

Following the brief meeting, everyone went their own way, leaving Erna and Jonathan alone in their room.

Jonathan closed the door and turned to face his wife, who was delightful after meeting her people. He understood how difficult it was for Erna to avoid them, but his hands were constrained, and he wanted to protect her at all costs.

When he dared to take her hand, he understood what he was getting himself into. But he never regretted it since his love for her outweighed his responsibilities as a Miller.

He approached Erna slowly and sat next to her on the bed. "You are beautiful." His eyes never left her, but she did detect the glint of regret in them and slowly reached out to caress his face.

"And I'm sorry for putting you through this separation," he said, his remorse overwhelming him till his eyes welled up with tears.

Erna drew Jonathan into an embrace. "I never blamed you for that. I understand why you did it," she replied, touching his somewhat grey hair.

Erna and Jonathan had loved each other since they were young, but they never declared their feelings for each other for fear of ruining their friendship if someone rejected either of them. But things changed when his parents unexpectedly announced her marriage to his elder brother Jedrick, altering the dynamics of their relationship in an instant.

Fortunately, it proved to be a watershed moment, as they realized they couldn't get away from each other and couldn't envision any of them with alternative partners. But who could have predicted that their love would turn into a life-long nightmare that ruined everything in an instant?
