Then his mother found him and took me and my brother to the Lawrence family, giving us a job to make a living.
I knew my status was different from his. I didn't dare to pursue Joe, so I never thought about being with him.
Unexpectedly, Joe confessed to me to avoid an arranged marriage in the year I graduated from high school.
I thought that years of secret love would finally come to fruition. I agreed without hesitation.
His mother knew this, feeling angry. She used all means to obstruct us. Joe didn't care as he protected me.
I was immersed in his love, thinking that I had met a good man.
Then he met the carefully selected blind date arranged by his mother, Scarlett.
The rebellious Scarlett made him fall for her at first sight.
He brought Scarlett into his social circle and introduced her to all his friends.
The two passionately kissed at a serious party, declaring their intense love to the world.
After that, I became a joke in everyone's eyes.
Everyone was waiting for me to be abandoned by him, but I foolishly believed that he would change his mind.
And now, my one-sided persistence should finally come to an end!
