Chapter 166

I thought I could muster the courage to put this hopeless wait behind me, but reality slapped me hard across my face. My determination and pretense of staying calm were utterly shattered by merely listening to his wife addressing him as her husband. That man has permanently and thoroughly bonded with my body and soul. I'm destined to stay trapped in this lonely limbo and grieve over my heartache for the rest of this miserable life.

Meanwhile, Dwayne leaned against the wall outside the office with his head lowered, listening to the muffled cries on the other side of the wall in silence.

That outcome was within his expectation, yet he could not help but sympathize with her.

After all, they had borne witness to Lionel and Victoria's relationship and the special love they harbored for one another.

Many among their friends had stated that they had observed the best representation of love in the couple's relationship.

However, even a couple admired by so many people like them could not escape the irony of fate as their affection toward one another turned into hate, resulting in the two of them drifting apart.

Lionel and Victoria had ultimately become the sacrificial lambs in the power game.

Lionel had escaped that ill-fated relationship, married a wife, and fathered a child. He was doing well in his career and life. On the other hand, Victoria remained the only one who continued to be tortured by the unfruitful romance.

She could only rely on herself to leave her lingering feelings behind as no outsiders could help her.

Dwayne clasped the doorknob and hesitated to open the door for around five minutes. In the end, he gave up.

I doubt she wants anyone to see her current pathetic state while she suffers from an emotional breakdown. If I barge into the room, the atmosphere will only turn awkward and more unbearable.

Since Dwayne could not stay by her side to share her pain and despair, he decided to be her silent guardian.

He sincerely believed that a human's heart was not made of stone, so his feelings would one day reach and touch her.

Perhaps after all those heart-rending experiences, Victoria would slowly open up to others and try to accept him.

Dwayne figured they had a long future ahead, so he could afford to wait for Victoria.
