Oliver Green

On the day of the engagement, Caleb Grant disappeared, and no one could find him, nor could they reach him by phone.

It was not until the guests dispersed that he arrived, looking dejected, and explained that he had to work overtime unexpectedly.

I understood him and did not blame him.

However, I saw a post on Rachel Wong's social media.

The hand in the picture, with its distinct bones, belonged to Caleb Grant.

"A surprise return home, thanks to someone for coming to the airport to pick me up."

So all these years, Caleb Grant had never forgotten Rachel Wong.

A world of three is too crowded, so I chose to gracefully step aside.

To my surprise, Caleb Grant, with reddened eyes, grabbed my wrist, completely losing his usual polite demeanor:

"Emily Hayes, you are the only wife I recognize in my heart, and you are not allowed to leave me."

I chuckled disdainfully:

"What use is your recognition, when the law doesn’t acknowledge it."

On the Day of Engagement, His First Love Returned Home, I Chose to Let Go and Fulfill

I really like the job opportunity in M Country.


The resume I sent over was also met with approval from the other side.


Everything fell into place quickly, and I went abroad as soon as my visa expired.


Caleb Grant came to see me several times.


Each visit saw him looking more haggard, more disheveled.


By the end, I could hardly connect the person in front of me with the Caleb Grant I remembered.


I felt a bit rueful, but there was no hesitation or inclination to turn back.


"I've already fired Rachel Wong and blocked her," Caleb explained frantically. "There really was nothing between us."


"And even if there wasn't, so what? You did those things knowing full well they would upset me, yet you did them anyway." I closed my eyes briefly, took hold of my suitcase, switched off the water and electricity, and locked the door.


These actions all indicated that I wouldn't be returning anytime soon.


Ethan Blake stood by my side, and we started off as friends.
