Later, when Liam was going abroad, he broke up with Joanna, and she often walked alone late at night.

Worried about Joanna's safety, I made excuses to accompany her.

Gradually, we became close.

At a drinking party, I mustered the courage to confess to Joanna, and she readily agreed.

We got to know and love each other, and there were many happy days.

We went to the library together every day, ate together, played together, and eventually graduated.

We planned to get married and even thought of names for our children.

But everything changed when Liam returned from abroad.

Joanna seemed to be bewitched, and with the help of her friends, she contacted Liam more and more frequently.

At the same time, she became increasingly impatient with me and changed her attitude toward marriage.

We had an appointment to take wedding photos, but Joanna canceled it without telling me.

When I found out, I was very angry, but Joanna said I was pressuring her.

Was that really the case?

Actually, I should have realized that Joanna was conflicted.

Now she was suddenly being nice to me again.

Was Joanna regretting?

I wasn't sure. Maybe she just didn't want to lose me as a tool.
