President's Substitute Wife

“Keep quiet.” When I was scared, I heard Ming!

He and I hid at the door.

I heard a rush of footsteps outside!

He seemed to stop by the elevator.

“June!”

“June!”

I heard Sean calling out my name.

At that moment, my heart hurt like being cut by a knife.

I had pain in breathing.

“June, where are you! Come out! I see you!”

“June!”

There were not many people here at night. In the quiet corridor, I thought he was going to cry.

Was he crying?

Was he crying for me?

My heart hurt.

If Ming didn’t pull me from behind, I was afraid I would really rush out!

“Calm down.” I heard Ming’s gentle voice.

Then I heard the high-heeled shoes knocking on the floor tiles in the corridor.

I heard Cindy’s voice, “what’s the matter, honey?”

This name made my heart ache.

I called him that many years ago.

No, I called later, but he was disgusted.

After a while I heard Sean’s voice, “I’m fine.”

“Did you see Miss Carter again? This is the fourth time.” Cindy sighed, “the forensic results have come out. That body is Miss Carter’s, and she can’t be reborn after death. Although she died because she attended our wedding, you have to continue to live.”

“Well, I know.”

Sean’s voice was a
