Cecelia Anderson's gaze fixed on Wayne Adams' injured abdomen for two seconds, but in the end, she turned back.
Before, she thought Wayne's thick-skinned nature was a flaw, but now it seemed that him becoming more thin-skinned was an even bigger flaw.
Seeing Cecelia leave, Wayne couldn't help but slap himself: "You've upset her again!"
He deserved Cecelia's disdain.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, Anne Bacon was right. Cecelia was so outstanding and likable that her remarriage was only a matter of time.
By the time his career rebounded and he became successful again, she would probably have remarried already.
With this possibility in mind, he suddenly felt as if he had entered a dead-end. He had been striving for success to be worthy of her, but if he lost her, what meaning would all of these efforts have?
