Chapter 1
The whole world knew that Mason Whitmore treasured his wife
above all else.
In order to fulfill my dream of becoming an actress, he was willing to spend several hundred million dollars to tailor a movie for me.
Simply because I said I missed him, he braved a heavy snowstorm and walked over a dozen miles to visit me on set.
Even on our wedding day, he had our love story broadcast on commercial screens worldwide, allowing seven billion people to witness our perfect romance.
But deep down, I knew that my child and I were nothing but pawns to make his first love regret her decisions.
Later, he got what he wanted, and I completely disappeared from his world.
Yet, he went crazy…

“Are you sure you want to take this international flight? It’s a 30–hour journey, and such a young child might not be able to bear it.”

“Yes, I’m sure.”

After receiving my affirmative reply, the airline staff on the phone asked for my personal information and remarked, “You and Mr. Whitmore must have a great relationship. Are you going to Acria for a vacation together?”
I smiled and didn’t respond.
I just gently patted my daughter, who was sound asleep in the stroller.
Acria was remote and sparsely populated.
There, no one would recognize me or Mason.
Only in that place could I give Anna a normal childhood.
A moment later, I received a notification on my phone that the flight ticket had been successfully booked.
The agent called, “Your flight ticket and documents are almost ready. The visa will likely take about another month to come through.”
I thought, “A month…”
I lowered my gaze, my eyes fixed on the printed itinerary by the bed.
In the past, Mason always avoided being on camera, but this time, he agreed to join a couples‘ variety show for the sake of our

daughter.
The destination for the final episode of the show was Uchya.
That was where I decided to marry him.
At that time, I was already a somewhat famous actress.
Afraid of being recognized, we always moved around in secret.
He was willing to stay with me without any complaints.
By the deserted arch bridge, he handed me a contract and knelt on one knee before me, saying, “Charlotte, I’ve acquired the best film agency in the industry to support you. I considered giving me a rightful place in your life? I promise I will give you the most perfect love in the world.
Back then, I didn’t know that, in truth, he had already broken his promise from the start.
His so–called perfect love was nothing but a massive lie.
The only person he ever loved was Harper Sterling, the first love who had resolutely abandoned him when he fell into a financial crisis.
Later, after returning to the country, the two of them got entangled once again.
And I, along with our child, were nothing more than tools he used to make her regret her choices after his success.

heartwarming scene.
But the next moment, a sharp ringtone broke the silence.
The caller ID showed a sun emoji.
My eyelashes fluttered, and I picked up Mason’s phone, which he had casually left on the coffee table.
As soon as I answered, a cry echoed from the other end.
“Mason, you already have a wife and a daughter. Why do you keep sleeping with me over and over again? What do you even take me for…”
What a dramatic, tragic storyline it was, if the male lead hadn’t been my husband, that is.
Mason, still unaware of what had just happened, gently shook Anna’s small hand in the kitchen and waved at me.
He mouthed to me, “I love you.”
The woman on the phone was still crying.
I forced a bitter smile at him but didn’t respond to his silent declaration of love.
After all, from that moment on, I no longer wanted that love.

love dies when snow falls
Chapter 2
When Mason returned with the milk bottle, his gaze automatically shifted to the two identical phones on the coffee table.
“Who called you just now?”
I answered honestly, “It’s your phone.”
The moment my words fell, his expression stiffened.
He quickly grabbed the phone and started checking the call log.
It wasn’t until his finger stopped on the sun emoji that I casually added, “Maybe it was a wrong number. I only said a quick hello, and then there was complete silence.
“I waited for over twenty seconds without hearing anything, so I just hung up.”
With that, I took Anna from his arms and, feigning innocence, asked, “What’s wrong? You look a little strange, honey.”
Of course, he shook his head.
With a smile, he gently pressed a kiss to my forehead and said, “I suddenly feel like I love you even more.”
After saying that, he awkwardly changed the subject.
