Chapter 4
I used the money I earned from all kinds of part–time jobs and four years of my youth to make him the most popular guy on campus.
Grace was the girl my husband loved during his college days.
ris was the gentle senior from the Law School, and Grace was the school beauty. Back
then, some people even shipped them as a couple.
After all, he was handsome and she was beautiful; they were a perfect match made in
heaven.
Kris often mentioned Grace in front of me, saying,
“Grace comes from such a good family, and she’s intelligent and beautiful. I wonder who the lucky one will marriage her.”
I’d always feel jealous and tease him back then, saying,
“If you think she’s so great, why don’t you go for her?”
Upon hearing this, Kris would shake his head, affectionately saying, “Grace is different
from you. With such a good background, she’ll go abroad for further study someday. How
could I possibly catch up with her? Besides, I need you, Winne, to earn money and support

and worthy of his love.
But after so many years, I’m still no match for Grace. When I needed Kris the most, he only thought of Grace.

Until today, I haven’t had a proper conversation with him for a long time
Just as I finished reminiscing, my phone rang My old phone, surprisingly will hanging on
after the car accident
The shattered screen displayed an unfamiliar number.
I answered the call, and the voice on the other end was unexpectedly familiar
“Hello, this is Kris, Ms. Grace’s attorney.”
Kris’s professional opening was polite yet distant. He didn’t even realize in was his wife’s number.
After seven years together, I know everything about Kris, but he never remembers anything
about me.
Perhaps he never needed to call me proactively because I always took care of everything
for him.
“Kris, it’s me, Winne!”
