Umeed by imagination7047

I'm not great at writing descriptions, so I'm not adding a description of the story. However, I hope you give the story a chance. It's something different that I'm trying to write, and I hope you enjoy it. Please take a moment to read it. Tropes : Age gap Second chance Forced marriage Unrequited love Melo - Drama Single-Parent Happy ending NOTE: Dear readers,I have edited the book and added English translations for the dialogues. This is a standalone story, and while I've used the same names in different books, they are not related to the characters here. It's just a matter of not having new name ideas. Please consider this a separate book with no connection to my other works. This is my second book, so there might be some mistakes-please ignore them. I'm open to suggestions for improvement, but kindly refrain from leaving negative comments. While the age gap might not appeal to everyone, please remember this is a fictional story, and you can interpret it as you wish. Some chapters contain mature content, which you can skip if you feel uncomfortable. Thank you for reading and supporting my work. Happy reading!
