Wrong Marriage and Sweet Love

Joyce returned to Eden Apartment in a daze.

When she got out of the cab, she saw Justin waiting for her downstairs. He was wearing light gray casual clothes and white sneakers today, and he looked youthful and refreshing today. She froze, in a trance, as if she had traveled back to the day when she just met him.

When he saw her coming, his handsome face showed a shiny smile and he hurriedly walked towards her.

It was just getting dark, and her arrival was like the brightest light in his eyes, shooting straight into his heart.

“Joyce, you’re finally willing to see me.” Justin stepped forward and gently held her shoulders with both hands. When he saw that she did not avoid his hands, only then did he dare to hold her arms, afraid that she would just disappear.

Joyce nodded, “Sorry, I was busy with work the other day and really didn’t have time.”

In fact, Justin was obviously much more of a gentleman than Luther, and would always ask her for her opinion before doing anything, and if she didn’t nod, he would never force it. He was unlike the overbearing Luther, who entered her house without her permission and violated her wantonly. More importantly, he took it even for granted!

She shook her head. Damn it, why did she think of Luther again and compare the two of them.

“You haven’t eaten yet? I’ll take you to dinner nearby. I know a restaurant that has a very special dish in a quiet, refreshing and tasteful setting.” Justin wrapped his arms around Joyce and carefully pulled her close to him.

“No need to go to that trouble, let’s just go to the congee store across the street, I don’t have much of an appetite.” Joyce returned indifferently.

“Good.” Justin answered instantly.

The two of them went to a congee store opposite Eden Apartment. Although the store was small, the décor looked elegant and the store looked clean. They then asked for a seat and both sat down.

Joyce ordered a beef congee for herself and a fish and chip congee for Justin.

“Joyce, you still remember what I like to eat.” Justin was slightly excited, his eyes overflowing with soft light, his face swept with infinite warmth. When he broke his both legs, she took good care of him, she knew all his preferences.

Thinking about it, he couldn’t help but blame himself.

He blamed himself for not holding on to her at that time, giving up on himself, wallowing in the pain of becoming an invalid, and bringing her into the abyss with him. It was clear that she had already treated him with such care, what else did he want?

Now, he was satisfied to have a chance to just see her.

“Yeah, you like fish, of course I remember that.” Joyce put down the menu, closed it up and put it aside. She answered him graciously, “After all, we lived together for over two years, how could I forget your preferences.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Joyce…” Justin’s thin lips twitched slightly, wanting to speak.

Joyce interrupted, “Justin, you don’t have to take it to heart. I won’t forget how good you were to me once. I took care of you until you healed, when you broke your legs because of me more than two years ago. And it was just what I should do. I am glad to see that you have recovered. Otherwise, I would always feel regrets.”

Justin was at a loss for words, should he tell her now the truth about how he had broken both of his legs two years ago? In fact, it was not directly related to her. For a long time, they both misunderstood, and he used this incident to tether her for two whole years, who could do nothing but to take care of him. Although, he also only recently learned about the truth. But his heart was still full of guilt.

He hesitated for a moment and said, “Joyce, the two years when I broke my leg, I know I have done many things wrong and made you sad. Please listen to my explanation, actually …”
