After the Love Fades, I Love You In the FogChapter 1

As I fell into the sea, Ethan was still on the shore, indulging in sweet moments with his secretary.

I drifted further away, and despite the many people jumping in to rescue me, he merely coldly remarked, "Don't bother; she loves to put on a show."

Then he took his secretary out for a candlelit dinner.

When I returned home, still shaken, I saw the secretary emerging from the bedroom in my pajamas.

Ethan explained, "She's so clumsy that she got her clothes dirty at dinner. I figured you wouldn't mind her borrowing your sleepwear."

I smiled and nodded, genuinely not caring this time.

"Thank you, Emma. You have great taste in clothes," Sophie said sweetly, like a charming neighbor.

Ethan shot me a disdainful glance and replied, "She's just a tomboy; how could she have any taste? She doesn't even wear skirts."

My heart tightened at his words; did he really not know why I stopped wearing skirts?

Back when Ethan was starting his business, I used to pick him up late at night after his meetings because I worried about him.

It was during one of those nights that a car accident happened.
