A knock sounded at the door, accompanied by the faint rustle of movement outside.
It was around the time when Mrs. Tilley usually brought her food. Without hesitation, Terri opened the door.
But the moment she saw who it was, she instinctively took a step back.
Blayne—the man she had longed for yet could never seem to meet.
——
“H-hey… why are you here?”
She hesitated for a moment, asking in surprise and uncertainty.
Blayne—her fiancé in name and the man she had loved in silence for so long.
But it was obvious. She loved him, and though he had once liked her, his love for her paled in comparison to his love for her sister.
Ever since their engagement, he had vanished.
And today was no special occasion. His sudden appearance wasn’t something that brought her joy—it only surprised her.
Because ever since Valerie returned to Massachusetts, Blayne’s eyes had only ever been on her.
“I came to check on my lonely fiancée in this empty room.”
His words were casual, yet every syllable dripped with ridicule.
Watching Terri’s face turn slightly pale, Blayne’s lips curled into a smirk, unable to hide his satisfaction.
Yes, he did it on purpose.
He looked down on Terri.
