Chapter 28
Grace walked on the street, with huge subtitles in the distance.
“The century wedding of Miss Walton from the Walton family and Miss White from the White family.”
The striking headline and photo made Grace’s eyes turn red.
She sat in the corner of the coffee shop, the coffee in her hand had long gone cold, and her eyes were empty and lost.
Looking back on the moments spent with Zackery, all those sweet memories have now turned into endless pain.
She was aware that the Walton family had immense power, and Lina’s decision might have had deeper considerations. She didn’t want to put Zackery in a dilemma because of herself.
“I couldn’t be a burden to him, he should have a bright future.”
Grace murmured to herself, suppressing the emotions deep within her heart.
The phone received a message that Norburn’s visa had been approved, along with an acceptance letter from Wisteria University.
A look of relief flashed across Grace’s face. Once, her dream was to continue studying, but those hopes seemed to have been completely worn away in the days of getting married

and having children.
But now, nothing can hold her back anymore.

I sent a farewell message to my few good friends, until the last person…
She trembled as she sent a message to Zackery.
“Zackery, I wanted to meet you and have something to say to you.”
After sending the message, she stared blankly out of the window, her thoughts drifting far away.
Not long after, Zackery hurriedly arrived at the coffee shop.
The moment he saw Grace, a wave of unease surged in his heart.
“Grace, what happened to you?”
Grace lifted her head and tried to force a faint smile, although it was filled with bitterness.
“Zackery, I saw the news of your marriage with Evelyn being made public.”
Zackery opened his phone news and it was blank, he hurriedly explained.
“Grace, don’t believe those, I had no idea about this, I never agreed to marry Evelyn.”
“I had been working at the company, and I wanted to get my parents‘ approval for our matter.”

Grace shook her head gently, interrupting his words.

“Zackery, I know you were good to me, but there are some things that were beyond our control. You had your
responsibilities.”
“Are you able to let go of everything, being the only child of your parents?”
Zackery held her in his arms.
“Grace, believe me.”
“I have been working hard for us all along, even if it doesn’t work out in the end, I will go back and become a small rural teacher, and I will not let you go.”
Grace’s tears couldn’t hold back any longer and streamed down her cheeks.
“Zackery, you don’t understand, I didn’t want to become an obstacle in your future, I didn’t want our relationship to end up in ruins.”
Zackery’s eyes were filled with regret.
“Grace, what future would it be if you were not in it?”
Grace’s heart shook, and she couldn’t help but shed tears in the end.
Zackery took out a ring from his bag, and a small diamond sparkled in the sunlight.
He felt a little embarrassed, but he solemnly put it on Grace’s hand.

“Grace, this ring was bought with the money I saved as a teacher. I believed that no one would be more suitable than you to own it.”
“He used to be my everything, and I was willing to give it to you. Now, I would still give everything to you.”
“I went back and told my parents that I would definitely not marry her. Will you wait for me?”
Grace nodded with tears in her eyes, but her heart was filled with remorse.
Zackery, I’m sorry, but I couldn’t afford to lose anymore.
She had thought that she could detach herself from the wrong love and find herself back in her original state.
But now, she is falling apart and is no longer the brave and courageous person she used to be.
