Dalena, on the other hand, tried every possible way to get in touch with Dmitry. The withdrawal from his absence left her drowning in longing
She scoured through her phone’s photo album, only to find a handful of photos with him.
They were mostly selfies she had sent to Fabio before, where Dmitry happened to be in the background
“How could this happen. Did I truly never care about him?”
A wave of pain surged through her, spreading to every part of her body. She finally understood the saying, “You only realize the value of what you’ve lost after it’s gone.”
When Dinitry left those few days, Dalena had thought she was merely unaccustomed to not having someone around to serve her.
But after learning the full truth, she realized she had already fallen for him.
Not only had she married him, but she wouldn’t even have resisted giving herself to him.
It was just that Fabio’s dazzling presence had overshadowed the love buried deep in her heart
Only love that remains after illusions shatter can be called true love.
“Ms. Dalena, I found a clue,” her assistant suddenly called.
“Tell me quickly.”
“Mr. Dmitry has repeatedly suggested donating to a specific charity home that’s where he grew up
“It’s said that he has a close relationship with the director there. She might be able to help you contact him.”
Upon hearing this, Dalena rushed to the orphanage inmediately.

The director replied slowly, “Ms. Dalena, surely you jest. You’ve been married to Dmitry for ten years and can’t contact him. How could an old woman like me have the means to do so?”
Her assistant stood by, not daring to breathe. In his experience, no one in New York had ever dared to speak to Dalena like this.
In the past, Dalena would have been furious.
But instead of showing any anger, she bowed deeply. “director, I failed Dmitry In the past. Now I just want to make it up to him. Please, give me a
Seeing her humble demeanor, the director let out a long sigh.
“Ms. Delena, I’m not trying to make things difficult for you. But back then, Dinitry endured so much as your live–in husband to pay for my cancer Treatment. I owe him my life. I don’t have the right to decide for him. Please inderstand.”
Delran Troge al those words
It turned out that Dinitry had signed the marriage contract to save the director’s life.
For ten years, he had given selflessly to others, never opre uttering a complaint.
How kind and selfless he truly wast
After saying goodbye to the director, Dalena walked through the orphanage dormitories.
Seeing the humble conditions where Dmitry had spent his childhood and learning more about his background, her heart ached deeply.
Denitry had been abandoned as a child and had never known the warmth of family.
When he had married her, he must have dreamed of being loved, even just a little,
