“I’m busy these days. We’ll talk about it later,” George replied impatiently.
Amanda’s eyes filled with tears as she looked at him in frustration. “How much longer do you want to wait? Do you think by waiting Kelly will come back?
“She went to a research base, she can’t come back in this lifetime!” she said
loudly.
Suddenly, George’s face darkened. He glared at Amanda. “Try saying that again. I dare you.”
Amanda froze. His words sent shivers
down her spine and her heart turned cold.
“George, I truly love you,” Amanda said. softly. “Do you remember the beautiful days we shared before? Don’t they mean anything to you?”
George was everything she had ever

wanted. The man was handsome, capable and leagues above her former partner.
It hadn’t taken long for her to fall head over heels for him. To win him over, she had employed every trick in the book.
Now that they were so close to marriage, she was determined not to let him slip
away.
Seeing his resistance, Amanda decided to change her tactics.
She went to the kitchen and warmed a pot of wine, then placed it in front of him with a gentle smile.
“George, I know you‘ ve been under a lot of pressure lately and there are things you don’t want to talk about. If my presence annoys you, I’ll take my leave.”
“However, I have some wine for you. Drink some, it’ll help you sleep at night.”
After she said that, she quietly left the room, pretending to be a considerate

fiancée.
George, consumed by his longing for Kelly for the past few days, didn’t think twice. He poured himself a cup of wine and began drinking the wine.
Outside the room, Amanda watched
through the window, a cold smile forming on her lips.
Then she slipped into Kelly’s old room and donned one of the dresses Kelly had left behind. She combed her hair to be the
same hairstyle as Kelly in front of the mirror,
If George hated her, that was fine. She would simply turn herself into Kelly.
Η
“Kelly… Kelly.. George whispered. As he drank the wine, he could not help but recall the little bits and pieces of his time with Kelly.
It turned out that he had been in love with her all along. Why was he so blind and refused to admit it?

Through blurred vision because of the tears, George suddenly saw a figure resembling Kelly standing at the door.
“Kelly?”
“Kelly” looked at him with a smile on her
face. She stood still.
Overwhelmed, George‘ s nose stung with emotion, so he rushed forward and pulled her into his arms.
“Kelly, you finally came back. Do you know how much I missed you….”
Amanda also reached out and wrapped her arms around George’s waist. She bit her lips in death and forced herself to bear this humiliation. Although her pride shattered, she could not stop now.
“George, I’m back. Aren’t you happy?”
she asked.
George‘ s heart raced. He couldn’t believe his eyes. “I’m happy, of course, I’m happy! Kelly, in the future, don’t you ever

leave without a word again. You have no idea how much I’ve missed you….”
Amanda’s lips curled into a cold smirk. She thought to herself since George was so reluctant to marry her, then she had to make sure they had consummated the marriage first.
At that time, even if George wanted to deny that, he could not.
“Don’t ever leave without a word again. You have no idea how much I’ve missed. you…” he pleaded.
She began taking away her outer clothes, leaving only her undershirt. She then took his hand and guided him toward the bed.
“George, let me help you take off your clothes first….”
As Amanda reached for his chest, he suddenly grabbed her wrist, his gaze icy and sharp.
“Amanda,” he said coldly, “Kelly would

never undress in front of me like this. Your act isn’t convincing at all.”
Amanda looked at him with startled eyes.
