At the age of eighteen, Eleanor clung to Garett's arm and asked, "Garett, when are you gonna marry me?"
Garett was reading a book, smiled, and poked her nose with his pen: "When I have the ability to marry you."
Eleanor pouted, discontentedly said, "When will you have that ability?"
Garett picked up the book in his hand and said to her, "When I finish learning all this knowledge and become a capable man, I'll have the ability to marry you."
Eleanor held her chin with both hands and pouted, "Don't you dare forget about me after you become a capable man, okay? Don't give up marrying me."
Little did she know that her words would come true. Garett finally became a capable person but forgot about her.
By the time he remembered, she was about to leave this world...
But that silly man, even at her death, wanted to marry her.
Eleanor held the marriage certificate to her chest and cried uncontrollably again.
He didn't care about anything and married her, but she came back to marry Ethan...
This kind of missed opportunity made Eleanor's guilt grow infinitely.
Hailey held her arm with red eyes, quietly accompanying her...
When the sun was about to set, Eleanor finally calmed down and asked Hailey, "Can I have this marriage certificate?"
Hailey nodded and said softly, "Of course, it belongs to you."
The witness on it was Eleanor, left for her by Garett.
And the one with Garett as a witness was torn to pieces.
Hailey saw the torn marriage certificate when she rushed to the cemetery.
She didn't know why Garett tore up the marriage certificate and left this world.
Hailey nodded, "Yes, I did. After you left, I couldn't bear to touch anything about the past, so I changed everything."
No wonder Hailey didn't receive any of the messages.
Turned out, she couldn't bear to touch those memories after the sudden death of two loved ones...
Feeling guilty, Eleanor apologized to her, "Sorry, Hailey..."
Her face full of guilt made Hailey's heart ache, "Eleanor, life is always unpredictable, how could you foresee what would happen in the future? So there's no need to blame yourself, there's nothing wrong with you living on..."
Hailey's words made Eleanor's guilt a little lighter, but it was only a temporary peace that she tried to suppress.
Thinking of Austin kneeling in front of Hailey, wanting to know what happened to Hailey in these three years, she couldn't help but ask.
"Hailey, I went to your house to find you, but I found Allysha instead. Last night I also saw Austin come to beg you, what has happened?"
