Erland was silent, now feeling cornered, feeling that all of this happened because he decided to marry Tiffany even though he didn't truly love her."I don't know if these are just your excuses ... You're acting like you're the one suffering the most," said Miranda with a sarcastic smile. "How would we know you're suffering if you seem happy with our daughter? You acted like a happy husband, a fiancé preparing a luxurious wedding ... Isn't that something that won our hearts? Made us believe you loved our daughter? So why are you saying now that it was all forced? If you didn't truly love her, you shouldn't have bothered doing all that! Or maybe you did love her then but you're a jerk, getting bored of her after having her completely?" she questioned loudly.Erland remained silent."Now you've come back after leaving her pregnant, and now she's had a miscarriage, she's grieving ..." Miranda shook her head, her eyes reflecting anger at Erland before focusing on Maelie. "You even returne

"Whatever happens, I won't let you choose that traitor to be your next husband!" shouted Miranda with a sharp gaze, then pushed Tiffany onto the bed. "Now you'd better get ready. You're going to leave this mansion, even this city! I'll move you to Las Vegas to live with your brother; he'll watch over you, making sure you don't mash with the wrong men!" she continued firmly, then left without waiting for Tiffany's response.Tiffany took a deep breath, swallowed hard, and glanced around, feeling very sad about leaving but not wanting to see Erland with Maelie here either.'Is this my fate? I always get into trouble when I follow my heart, but I also suffer when I marry Erland, who was my parents' choice... So who can bring me happiness?' she asked herself, feeling so lost and nauseous, her mind filled with images of Erland, Leo, Maelie, and the moment she forced the doctor to abort her baby."I can't, I can't live like this, they're all bastards!" she screamed, pulling at her hair in fr

The cold atmosphere hit, making Erland quickly pull the blanket to cover his and his naked wife’s bodies, then hug her after making sure their bodies were covered up to their chests."I don’t like winter," he said."But I do," Maelie replied weakly, her eyes still closed. She rested her head on Erland’s arm, inhaling his scent, feeling his warmth from the skin-to-skin contact. "I like getting hugs like this... Warm, comfortable, and soft," she continued with a smile.Erland smiled, then bowed, brushing aside Maelie's hair that covered her forehead, making her look up at him."I feel like we’ve never had a moment like this since we got back together. This is the first time," he said with a happy blush on his handsome face. "It’s like we’ve never experienced separation... It’s like when I was still a deceiver in your life."Maelie gave a faint smile, but Erland quickly kissed her lips."I wish time would stop so we could stay like this," Erland said, pressing his forehead to Maelie’s."

Upon returning from the supermarket, Amanda locked herself in her room and did not want to talk to her sister at all, not explaining anything about what had happened between her and Leo.The girl was utterly devastated, refusing to eat, drink, or answer calls from anyone until nightfall."Amanda, I've made dinner, come and have dinner with us," Maelie said, leaning her head against Amanda's bedroom door.There was no response from inside."Amanda, please..." Name Lie sighed with a sad look. "Open the door... You need to have dinner. Come out. I won't talk about what happened at the market or anything else. I just want you to eat...""What's wrong?"The question from the living room diverted her attention, and she saw Erland, who had just arrived, carrying a briefcase and dressed formally in a black suit without a tie."Something happened to Amanda," she said, approaching her husband with a worried look. "We went shopping together at the market, and we accidentally ran into Leo...""Le

After seeing Amanda and Tommy decide to get married, and feeling she had no right to stop them, especially since Tommy seemed kind and capable of making Amanda comfortable, Maelie decided to go to her children's room, but they were already asleep after their two caregivers had read them a bedtime story. She then moved to her room and found Erland, who had just finished showering, looking fresh with slightly wet hair, bare-chested, and wearing shorts."Did you manage to get her to eat?" Erland asked."No, but Tommy will make her eat," Maelie replied, then sat on the couch while Erland sat next to her, his eyes fixed on the TV showing a motor racing program.She fell silent again, her feelings clouded by her husband's somewhat cold demeanor towards her, as if still resentful of her past behavior, and now she realized her actions had been frustrating to others, including Tommy and Amanda."Forgive me," she whispered.Erland immediately turned to her. "Forgive you for what?""I..." Maelie
