The Ex and Her Riches

Why did he pretend to be jealous when I deliberately mentioned Treyton to provoke him then? Was he toying with me? How mean of him!

Gwendolyn was furious. After suppressing her desire to punch him, she continued reading.

Gwenny, by the time you read this letter, I might’ve already left you forever. This is the last thing that I’m doing for you. You don’t need to feel guilty or blame yourself. I wonder if my death would elicit some tears from you. Although I’m hoping that you’ll cry, I’m afraid that you actually will. I don’t want to see you unhappy. Forget it. Save your tears and become a happy, carefree princess of the Harris family.

It was only then that tears started to stream down Gwendolyn’s cheeks uncontrollably.

Wiping her tears away, she tried to regain her rationality and calm down before continuing to read.

Both of us have met the right person at the wrong time. Ever since you saved me from the car thirteen years ago, I’ve been deeply attracted by your clear eyes. From then on, I couldn’t stop loving you, who was only ten years old. Natasha impersonating you and claiming credit for saving my life remains a thorn in my life. Even if I’ve never touched her, even if she’s already dead, I can never forgive my foolish self. What I regret the most is failing to recognize you when you were brought to the Wright residence. Even during the three years that you were married to me, I didn’t treasure you. You stopped loving me by the time I wanted to make things right again. However, all of that doesn’t matter. Even if you treat me as a pet or a housekeeper, I’m satisfied just by being able to see you at the villa every day. Ever since I realized that I’ve fallen in love with you, I’ve become riddled with insecurities. My self-esteem plummeted, and I became a coward.

I’d melt in happiness every time you smile at me. Even when you coaxed me lightly, I’d be so excited that I couldn’t sleep for a few days. You must be feeling happy while reading this, right? All that man, who used to be so aloof and untouchable, could see is you. He’s begging for the slightest bit of affection from you like a clown. How amusing and pathetic! That’s right. I’m afraid of losing you. Although I don’t dare to ask for your love, I secretly wish that you could save me even the smallest spot in your heart.

Knowing that I’ve hurt you far too deeply in the past, I don’t deserve your forgiveness. You’ve saved me before, so I owe you my life. This favor can never be returned. The only way is to repay it with my life. You’re right about one thing. I encapsulate everything that a bad man is. While hoping that you’ll forget me and find a good man who’ll dote on you well, I also wish that you’ll remember me forever. I’ve contemplated between the two for a long time. It was so painful and conflicting. Eventually, I decided to selfishly use this life of mine to make it impossible for you to forget me. You must eat well. Don’t be picky with your food. Drink less coffee and tea. Even if there’s a lot of work, you must remember to wear more clothes when the weather’s cold. Goodbye, my…

Although the letters of the last two words had been smudged by tears, it was obvious that they spelled out “dearly beloved.”

Gwendolyn knew his handwriting, which had always been neat and pretty.

However, the handwriting in the letter was squiggly and untidy, as if the tip of the pen was unsteady. There were quite a few words that were smudged by tears.

How was he feeling when he wrote this letter? His hands were trembling so much that he could not even hold the pen properly. He must have been feeling so sad and reluctant.
