In order to force me to break off the engagement, my fiancé caused my father's company to go bankrupt and owe tens of millions of debts. My father suffered a heart attack due to the shock and was sent to the emergency room.

When I knelt down to beg my fiancé to help with the surgery, my childhood sweetheart Jacob suddenly returned to China. He helped my father arrange a doctor and stayed with me by my father's bed day and night.

But a week later, my father had another heart attack. In order to let my father leave with peace of mind, Jacob knelt in front of the bed and vowed to marry me and take care of me for the rest of my life.

After the funeral, I was disheartened and canceled my engagement with my fiancé. I married my childhood sweetheart Jacob instead.

But five years later, I overheard the conversation between my ex-fiancé and him.

"Your trick is still good. You made Louisa, a dog-skin plaster, give up on me willingly. Do you think she would want to kill you if she knew that it was you who killed her father back then?"

My hand paused as I pushed open the door of the box and the teasing voice of my ex-fiancé continued to ring in the box.

"You are so cruel. Louisa grew up with you and treated you like her own brother. I guess she would never have thought that it would be you who bankrupted her father's company."

"If it weren't for Amanda, I wouldn't have been blamed for you for so many years. Although I hate her, I can't do anything to make her father angry to death."

The wine glass was placed heavily on the table and Jacob said angrily with a drunken look.

"I will spend my whole life to make up for Louisa. I helped you back then because I wanted Amanda to be happy. If you dare to let Amanda down and make her shed a tear, I will kill you."

The man opposite sighed, "You are so infatuated. It's a pity that Amanda met me first. You should protect your Louisa well. After all, you killed her father. Be careful not to be killed in your dreams at midnight."

Suddenly the glass hit the door hard and shattered on the ground. The footsteps approached and I took a deep breath and ran to the bar downstairs.

I raised the glass and drank it all in one gulp. I, who never drank, choked and tears filled my eyes. The words I just heard echoed in my mind again and again. The person who bankrupted my father's company was not my fiancé, but Jacob, who paid for his surgery.

A week later, my father had a heart attack because of what Jacob said. No wonder my father stared at Jacob before he died.

At that time, I naively thought that this was my father's gratitude and entrustment to him.

The husband who slept with me for five years and held me in the palm of his hand was the indirect murderer of my father. And the marriage and false love over the years were just the so-called compensation for his guilt. It was ridiculous. Sadness and anger surged in my heart.

As soon as my eyes fell on the wine glass at hand, Jacob suddenly hugged me gently from behind, buried his head in my neck and his drunken voice was full of tenderness.

"Louisa, why did you leave for so long? I miss you so much... Let's go home, Louisa, I love you so much... I love you so much..."

Over the years, Jacob would murmur his love for me every time he got drunk. His brothers all said that the truth came out after drinking and Jacob really loved me. But now, all this seemed particularly ridiculous.

I pushed him away calmly and helped him into the car. Jacob fell on my thighs, his brows relaxed and his breathing even as if he was asleep.

"Amanda... Amanda... Why didn't you choose me, why..."

This time I finally heard clearly, the name that appeared in his dreams countless times.

Amanda, Amanda Sweeney.

The woman who stole my fiancé was also Jacob's white moonlight. It turned out that Jacob had never forgotten her and even pretended to be affectionate to marry me. I underestimated his love for Amanda.

The phone fell out of the man's belt with a clang and I bent down to pick it up and a message popped up on the screen.

"Thank you, Jacob, for blocking my drink tonight. I can't take the necklace you gave me, it's too expensive."

The next second I saw Amanda's updates on Twitter, "Love is priceless." The picture was a dazzling necklace, the only one in the world that was bought by a mysterious rich man for 100 million dollars in the news.

I knew Amanda sent it to me specifically.

This week Jacob was too busy to eat, so he had a stomachache and was sent to the emergency room, but when he opened his eyes, he flew to England. I was angry and distressed that he was willing to give up his life for work.

Later I learned that he was going to attend an auction. Even if he couldn't straighten his back due to pain, he had to bid for the most precious necklace in the world and dedicate it to his white moonlight.

I entered the lock screen password for some reason. After entering the last number, the lock was successfully unlocked. It was Amanda's birthday. Jacob never let me look at his phone, saying that we should leave each other personal space.

As soon as I unlocked it, Amanda's bright smile came into my eyes. No wonder Jacob's eyes would be inexplicably gentle every time he unlocked his phone.

I clicked on the album, all the names were the same.

[Amanda, 10 years old] [Amanda, 11 years old]... [Amanda, 25 years old]

Each album recorded Amanda's smiling face at different times. None of the thousands of photos belonged to me, not even to him. Only Amanda. Just like his heart, there was only Amanda from beginning to end.

Then I opened the memo turned out to be Jacob's diary.

[20×× Sunny, Amanda scratched her leg today by a branch. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have planted trees in the yard. ]

[20×× Sunny, Amanda got married today. As long as she is happy, everything I do is worth it. I live to make her happy. ]

[20×× Rainy, I got married. The moment I saw Amanda in the audience, I wished that the person standing next to me was her. ]

The car just drove into the yard. Looking up at the bare yard, my hands and feet were cold all over.

There were originally two peach trees in the yard, which were transplanted by Jacob from the old house of the Lovato Family. They were planted by my father when I was ten years old. Whenever I see them, I feel that my father had never left and he was still with me.

But suddenly one day, the roots of the two trees that were originally full of peaches rotted inexplicably. Jacob hugged me and coaxed me for three days and three nights with tears streaming down my face. Now I know that it was him who destroyed the only thought my father left for me.

The message from his assistant popped up,

[Mr. Nolan, according to your instructions, your will has been made and all your property will be left to Miss Amanda.]

[It will take effect only after you sign it.]

I seemed to see in the hazy tears.

The man who hugged me affectionately and promised me at the funeral that year.

"Louisa, I will give you a home and everything I have belongs to you."

As I putting Jacob on the bed, I didn't take off his shoes and take care of him as I did in the past, but I turned around and went directly to the guest room. When I closed my eyes, all I could think of was how he loved me over the years.

The morning sun shone on me and I opened my eyes to meet Jacob's gentle eyes. He leaned over and gently kissed me on the forehead.

"Louisa, were you angry last night? I'm sorry I drank a little too much last night. I promise you I won't do it next time." He explained as he looked at me as tender as ever.

I hummed softly and pushed him away. Then I went into the bathroom to wash off the remaining warmth on my forehead.

The table was full of breakfast. If it were before, I would be very happy. But after reading Jacob's memo, I couldn’t be happy anymore. This table was all Amanda's favorite food.

The sound of the key opening the door came from the entrance and Amanda was wearing a clean white dress. She walked in naturally and sat down at the dining table.

She smiled at me and said, "Louisa sorry to disturbed you. Jacob and I had a photo shoot this morning, so he asked me to come for breakfast."

I didn't say anything, just looked at the key chain in her hand that was exactly the same as mine. Jacob keenly sensed my emotions and came close to me to explain in a low voice.

"Amanda is my best friend, it's normal to have the key to our house..."

Before he finished speaking, his voice suddenly changed and he stood up anxiously to snatch the soy milk from Amanda's hand opposite. "Amanda, you can't drink soy milk. How come you still can't remember it after so many years?"

Amanda smiled shyly with pursed lips, "Yes, fortunately you are here all these years."

They looked at each other affectionately, like a couple of lovers for many years.

I was not interested in watching their affection anymore. So I was about to go out when Amanda called me.

"Louisa, I remember you studied photography. Can you help me take the photo today? I don't trust the new photographer."

Since my father passed away, I had never touched a camera again. Because as soon as I picked up a camera, I would think of my father who taught me photography since I was a child and my mind was filled with his unwilling and fragile appearance when he left. I no longer had the courage to press the shutter.

Jacob knew about it. He locked all my cameras in the cabinet and told me not to force myself. He would accompany me to slowly walk out until I was willing to pick up the camera again.

But at this moment, he didn't wait for me to speak and pushed me to the back seat of the car. Then he said, "Louisa, you know that Amanda is carsick, so I wronged you to sit in the back."

But he forgot that I was more carsick. I didn't eat two bites of breakfast and my stomach was churning all the way.

When we arrived at the location, Jacob carefully held Amanda's skirt and bent down to follow her into the shooting room.

I leaned against the side of the car and breathed in fresh air.

Jacob shouted at me from a far, "Louisa, the shooting is about to start. Don't be willful and shoot well. This shooting is very important to Amanda and me."

Suddenly Jacob came closer and pulled me in with great force. I didn't stand firmly and almost fell to the ground.

Picking up the camera again after five years, unfamiliar and fearful, my hands couldn't help but tremble slightly. I tried to restrain the sadness in my heart and pressed the shutter again and again.

During the intermission, only Amanda and I were left in the studio. She flipped through the photos with a mocking smile on her face.

"Louisa, you are just as useless as your father. You can't do anything right. Like father, like daughter."

My nails dug into my palms and I trembled slightly and I saw that my anger was about to burst out.

Suddenly a slap fell hard on my cheeks. I felt a burning pain on my face. Amanda shook her hands and looked down at me with contempt.

"Louisa, you are so shameless. I didn't expect that you would immediately hook up with Jacob after being rejected. How can you be worthy of him? I tell you, whether it's your ex-fiance or Jacob, they are all mine. You don't deserve it."
