"Marry me. I know you have always liked me."
Dale's words caused great mood swings in my heart. I knew that I could never stop loving him.
The joy filled my mind. For me, Dale's affection was like a belated birthday gift.
Although I knew that he only wanted to use me to get over the shadow of losing Grace, I didn't care.
Everyone's heart could be warmed. I believed Dale would one day see how good I was to him.
Everything between us seemed to go smoothly, but after that day, I never saw Dale again.
He deliberately avoided me, I knew. Because someone had tampered with the survival map of the wilderness survival training in the freshman year of me and Jerry Watts.
We took the wrong path. The steep cliff was almost impossible for us to climb. I held onto Jerry's hand tightly, afraid to let go. I didn't wanna die.
Jerry knew that I had a heart condition, so he let go of my hand and asked me to find someone else to save him.
But Dale had always thought that I caused Jerry's accident.
So, Dale hated me. Even though he was forced to marry me later, he had always been unwilling to get close to me.
