Chapter 20
Braeden never expected that while he had been searching for her abroad for five years, Angela had been in the country all along, together with
Shane.
Braeden rushed back to Los Angeles by plane, arriving the next day.
He went straight to the Xandros Group and barged into the CEO’s office.
To his surprise, the first person he saw was Angela.
His eyes reddened instantly, and he rushed over, pulling Angela tightly into his arms.
His whole body was trembling.
“Angela, Angela, I finally found you.”
Angela knew that Braeden had been searching for her all over the world these past years.
With the wedding now public, Angela had already anticipated that Braeden would return.
“Braeden, this is my husband’s office.”
Braeden’s body stiffened. He said angrily, “No, I won’t agree to you marrying anyone else. You can only be mine. I’ve been looking for you for so, so long.”
“Braeden, I only stayed abroad for one year. The other four years, I was in Los Angeles.”

Angela looked at Braeden with coldness in her eyes.
She spoke calmly.
Braeden said excitedly, “It doesn’t matter. From now on, I’ll always be with you. We’ll be together forever. I know you’re angry with me, but Angela, we’ve been together for a full twenty–seven years.”

Angela looked at the despondent Braeden. Compared to the spirited man he was five years ago, he was truly a different person.
Angela didn’t know whether it was losing the Hernandez Group that had changed Braeden, or losing her.
Angela took out a card and handed it to Braeden.
“In these five years, I’ve come to understand something, Braeden. This is five billion dollars–the money from selling my shares in the Hernandez Group back then. I’m returning it to you. Now we’re even.”
Braeden’s face turned deathly pale.
“Angela, I’m begging you, marry me again.”
But what Braeden received was a marriage certificate.
On it, the names Angela and Shane were written clearly.
Braeden coughed up blood, his reddened eyes staring at the very real marriage certificate.
“Angela, I swear I didn’t mean it. I love you. I never imagined it was you who had been saving me all along.”
Five years later, facing Braeden again, Angela was much calmer than she had imagined.

Being with Shane was something her parents approved of. Their
relationship was natural and easy–not full of passionate declarations, but it gave Angela an unparalleled sense of peace.
Perhaps it was because Braeden had exhausted all her love.
Angela’s hand brushed Braeden’s temples, where a few strands of white hair had already appeared.
“Braeden, I won’t save you anymore. Take care of yourself. And don’t look for me again. Shane and I will spend the rest of our lives together.”
Angela let go of him and looked at Shane, who was standing at the door.
She walked toward Shane.
Braeden watched as Angela was embraced by Shane.
His rose had finally entered another man’s city.
His mind was filled with memories of freshman year, when Shane wrote Angela a love letter and Braeden found it. He had sought Shane out and given him a thorough beating.
But Shane had only sneered, “Braeden, I’ll keep writing love letters to Angela. Unless you two get married, I have every right to pursue her.”
And every time Braeden saw a love letter, he would fight Shane again.
It wasn’t until after graduation, when he married Angela and Shane went abroad.
Braeden’s eyes were red, his voice hoarse beyond measure: “Angela, I won’t give up on you.”
Braeden did not take the card.

Chapter 20
Angela and Shane’s wedding proceeded as planned.
Doschers
Angela wore a snow–white wedding dress, while Shane was dressed in a black suit.
The high society of Los Angeles had all attended Angela and Braeden’s wedding before.
But this time, as Angela married again, the groom was someone else.
As the wedding began, the screen displayed 999 love letters.
All the guests saw that the date on the last love letter was just a year ago.
“Angela, you finally accepted my proposal! I’m so happy you’re marrying me. I will give you the most perfect love.”
Time began to rewind, and the guests saw the very first letter, dated seventeen years ago.
The guests were all astonished.
It turned out to be a secret love that had lasted seventeen years.
Seeing the dates, Angela’s eyes were filled with shock.
