The Wedding Game That Cost Him Everything Chapter 38
Before leaving, Sierra asked if I planned to return to the United States.
“The Moretti Family wants to apologize to you in person.”
“No need.”
Once, they had opposed me because I had no Family background and was an outsider who knew too much.
Later, when they helped me leave, it wasn’t because they had suddenly come to like me.
It was simply because, compared with me, Sloane was more likely to ruin their heir.
The assets I could no longer return were enough to sever the last tie between us.
Sierra nodded and didn’t press.
At the door, she stopped.
“Thank you for giving me the video.”
“You don’t have to thank me.”
I looked at her.
“The truth was yours to begin with.”
After she left, I put the ruling away.
I didn’t keep it as a souvenir.
That very day, it went into the files with all the other case materials.
When I got off work, it still wasn’t dark.
I walked slowly along the road outside the hospital.
Before, every time I saw streetlights, I would think of Tucker standing downstairs in that wrinkled groom’s suit.
On that day, all I thought about was what I would have for dinner.
Only after I had gone a long way did I realize that the sound of that balloon bursting had not returned to my ears in a very long time.
