The cruelest thing wasn't that she had long been buried in that shipwreck, but that she was still alive.
Still living well, living well and no longer remembering him, and already having a daughter with another man, and that man was even his...
***
Falling in love with him at eighteen, marrying him at twenty, giving birth to his son at twenty-one, and divorcing at twenty-four, Naomi Shaw had never imagined her love and marriage would end up in such a shattered state.
She had always thought she would love one person, bear his children, and then grow old with him hand in hand.
Only later did she realize that dreams and reality could never be compared after all.
He had his unforgettable first love, yet she loved him to death. After falling into utter despair, she was finally able to leave everything behind.
***
When they met again, she was with her daughter, who had been diagnosed with mild autism, and he mocked her coldly,
"Naomi Shaw, the daughter you had with some other wild man is indeed not sound!"
She replied indifferently,
"And you are?"
***
He had always been fond of those cold, glamorous, and enchanting women, and had little interest in a sweet and innocent girl like her.
He never thought that one day, after the hurt he had inflicted and the hardships of life she had endured, she would finally become the woman he desired, only to no longer belong to him.

Sean Donovan fell silent on the other end of the line, not speaking for a long time. A wave of unease washed over Naomi Shaw. She remembered vowing to Sean Donovan that she would have no more contact with Julian Donovan. But now, here she was with Julian. As Sean Donovan's girlfriend, she knew full well that this could easily cause a misunderstanding.


That was all Sean Donovan said before hanging up. His simple response only made Naomi Shaw's guilt more intense. After ending the call, she ignored Julian Donovan completely. 'If he hadn't kept pestering me, I wouldn't be in this awkward situation.'


Julian Donovan was in no mood to talk to her either. The thought of Sean Donovan coming back, of her being so intimate with him again, felt like something was viciously tearing his heart apart. He couldn't stand another day of this. He desperately needed to snatch her back to his side and cherish her properly.
