But then, when I heard their conversation, my long-dead soul felt a chill once again.
Eden leaned into Monica’s arms and sighed in mock grievance.
“Monica, are you still heartbroken about Theodore’s betrayal? Actually, this whole thing started because of me. If I hadn’t driven the company to the brink of bankruptcy, Theodore wouldn’t have been so eager to run away with the money. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have fallen in love with you, I shouldn’t have ruined your marriage…”
Monica kissed Eden’s forehead with a pained look. “It’s none of your business. Theodore is willing to degrade himself. I should thank you for letting me see his true colors!”
Eden sighed, resting his head on Monica’s shoulder. As their lingering conversation progressed, I gradually learned.
It turned out Monica had been cheating on Eden long before my death. She fell in love with him at first sight at the campus recruitment fair and made an exception to hire him to stay with her.
Monica even admitted it herself. Eden was the love of her life. To me, it was just a responsibility.
