I Only Love You, Is That a Problem?Chapter 1
A week before our engagement, Robert Lockman told me that our engagement ceremony would not be held at the appointed time, instead it would be postponed for another months.
He explained, "Diana told me that it's so happen that day she would be performing her first solo concert. It is a very important thing in her life and I refuse to miss it. Besides, we're getting engaged anyway. It doesn't matter if it is a week early or at a later time."
This was the third time he had postponed our engagement for Diana's sake.
The first time he did it when Diana, who was abroad, fell ill and said she was scared and missing him.
The second time when Diana wanted to go on a spontaneous trip, Robert became very worried and chased after her.
So, this was the third time.
I put down the phone and turned to look at my childhood friend and the prince of the Royal City, Anthony Norton. Then asked, "Do you need a fiancée?"
On the day of our supposed engagement ceremony, Robert was affectionately hugging Diana at the celebration banquet for Diana's concert when he saw Anthony's engagement with me. The event was broadcast all over the city and as he watched, his eyes turned red.

Anthony looked at me and asked, "Have you thought this through? Can you really forget about Robert?"
I spread my hands helplessly. “I gave him enough chances. This is the third time he’s canceled our engagement for the same woman. Maybe this is fate telling me we were never meant to be together. Even the warm feeling can't thaw a frozen heart, can they?"
Anthony smiled. "If you're sure about this, I want to hold a grand engagement ceremony. The Norton Family has quite a list of guests to invite and I want everyone to know exactly who I’m marrying.”
I looked at him, trying to peer into Anthony's heart. What I saw was unwavering determination. Summoning a courage, I didn’t know I had, I answered, “Alright.”
I went home and began packing my belongings. When Robert came back home and saw my suitcase, he sneered, "Are you running away from home again? Trudy Peyton, aren't you tired running away every time we quarrel? You've done this thing for the entire four years we are together."
