Master Jeon's Pampered Wife

0:08

She had changed a lot in the past three years.

The once-peaceful Lisa was nowhere to be found anymore. What replaced her was the current distant and hostile Lisa. She emitted the aura of someone detached yet capable and firm.

Hanbin looked down at the cold street lamp, then glanced up to the girl across him. After some thought, he went up to her.

"Lisa, I admit that I betrayed you in the past..."

He stopped behind her and then looked at the direction she was facing. The sky was dark outside with thick clouds covering it. It appeared all grayish. He blinked, then sighed, "Sorry, Lisa... If this can make you feel better, I hope you don't blame it on anyone else... Just blame it all on me..."

For a brief moment, Lisa felt a heavy pressure on her chest and she almost passed out.

However, her proud and stubborn self would never allow her to show her weakness in front of everyone else. She chuckled without even looking at him as she gazed at the gray sky. "I thought like many others you'd ask me 'Hello, how are you?', but it seems..."

She did not want to think about who was the traitor anymore. She did not want to relive the suffering she had experienced all these years. She did not want to know anything about them, yet her heart still felt like the gray clouds. Without a huge downpour or a violent tornado, it would not go away.

Lalisa Manoban, you've overestimated your determination.

Why are you so sad?

Because you never stopped caring.

Why?

I'm not sure...

She took a breath and turned over to look at the cold shadows below and then realized the sky had grown dark. The street lights started to light up, the refracted and unbalanced light seeming lonely on the ground.

She watched the crowd walking about in the plaza and sighed, "I really wished... we never knew each other... that I never met you. Then, at least, I wouldn't have to suffer."

She turned away and walked towards the row of streetlights. She did not look at him, her slender figure passing through the evening streets. "I've already let go. We're strangers from this point onwards, so please don't bother me ever again and I'll do the same..."

She left him with these words and her figure disappeared among the lonely street lights like the wind.

As Hanbin watched her slowly disappear from his vision, he felt something in his chest as if something was leaving him. He clenched his fists as if he was trying to grab onto that something, yet his hands were empty. He simply could not catch anything...

He looked up at the lonely street lights and was suddenly reminded of many things —

Many years ago, a girl with two movie tickets stood under these street lights and waited for him for an entire night just to invite him out for a movie.

A long, long time ago, that girl would go a thousand miles through several cities just to get him Eason Chan's autographed CD.

A long, long time ago...

Back then, things were really simple. They were very innocent.

He was grateful for everything she had done for him. During his time abroad, he would sometimes ask his friends to check up on her and was relieved to know that she was doing well.

Gratitude was not love. Many people could spare gratitude for others, but not love. He could only apologize to Lisa.

However, when he saw her turn her back on him and leave, he felt sorrow well up inside him as if he had just lost something important, something he could never get back again...
