00:00Stop it. Evelyn will find out.
00:02Then what are you afraid of?
00:03Am I better or is your Evelyn better?
00:05Don't mention the rigid one. You're the exciting one.
00:10Turn it off! Turn it off now!
00:11How disgusting! That beast in human skin!
00:17It is.
00:18This is St. Matthew Private Hospital.
00:20Mr. Adrian has been in an accident and is currently in emergency treatment.
00:26The patient is temporarily out of danger.
00:29However, the situation is rather complex.
00:32The patient experienced a sipsiation in the underground garage.
00:36Specifically, the patient used some accessories and an accident occurred during the process, causing airway destruction.
00:42The trachea has been cleared, but the patient needs to be kept for observation.
00:48Evelyn.
00:50It's not what you think.
00:52Shut up.
00:54Just an ordinary friend.
01:00The arranged marriage, I agree.
01:03In three days, I'll marry.
01:11Evelyn, let me explain.
01:13Go ahead.
01:15It's all my fault.
01:18Evelyn, I was drunk that day.
01:20I was the one.
01:21Enough.
01:29Evelyn.
01:30How have you been thinking about the arranged marriage?
01:36I agree.
01:37Evelyn?
01:38Evelyn!
01:40You're finally willing to come home.
01:42You're daddy's princess.
01:44No one is worth your tears.
01:46You're trading your daughter like a commodity.
01:47You've degraded yourself for a poor boy.
01:54Into Adrian's tiny 60-square-meter apartment, squeezed onto a queen-size bed with him, eating discounted frozen food from
02:01the supermarket.
02:02At that time, she believed that for love, everything was worthwhile.
02:06Evelyn and Adrian had been together for seven years.
02:08The entire New York upper class knew to what extent Adrian Cole had pampered his fiancรฉe.
02:13She didn't like the noisy nightclub environment.
02:15This once most sociable man turned down all his friends' party invitations, just because she had frowned once.
02:21In Wall Street's world of pleasure and temptation, Adrian Cole was practically an anomaly.
02:26No arm caddy models, no clubbing, and he even refused all the business entertainment arranged by partners.
02:31Everyone envied Evelyn.
02:33Every time, Evelyn just smiled faintly.
02:35Because at that time, she truly believed it.
02:38Adrian, what do you actually like about Evelyn?
02:40Honestly, she's pretty, but what kind of woman don't you have around you?
02:42She's different from other women.
02:44She's too pure.
02:45But no one knew.
02:47The only truly pure one was Evelyn.
02:49No one in New York's upper class dared to mention Adrian's brother's death in public.
02:54Not because of grief.
02:55Once called the son of Wall Street, a financial genius who managed billion-dollar funds at 26.
02:59The most proud eldest son of the entire Cole family.
03:02His photo had graced the cover of the Wall Street Journal.
03:05His name appeared on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list, and wherever he went, he was the focus of camera flashes.
03:09Then he died in a private yacht accident.
03:11The official explanation was, an accident caused by adverse weather.
03:15But everyone in the circle knew that the weather that day was impossibly fine.
03:17Not a cloud in the sky, the sea calm as a mirror.
03:20The so-called adverse weather was merely a dignified cover story.
03:23The real reason, alcohol, drugs, and describe-a-party recipients on the yacht,
03:26was suppressed by the Cole family at great expense.
03:28When Aaron died, Vanessa was on the yacht.
03:30She was the only one who wasn't drunk.
03:32And the only family member allowed at the scene.
03:34And Vanessa was the widow Aaron left behind.
03:36Vanessa had been living in the Cole family estate, that century-old mansion on Long Island.
03:41Adrian took on all the responsibilities that should have been his brother's.
03:43Taking care of her.
03:45Protecting her.
03:46Managing her finances.
03:48Supporting her at social events.
03:50Even stepping up immediately when she had disputes with Aaron's former friends.
03:53The outside world praised him for his loyalty.
03:56Adrian is truly a good brother.
03:57After Aaron passed, it was Adrian who held the family together.
04:00He's so good to his sister-in-law.
04:01Whoever marries him in the future will surely be happy.
04:03Only Evelyn knew.
04:04The way Vanessa looked at Adrian was never innocent.
04:06The first time she noticed something was wrong was last Christmas.
04:10On Christmas Eve, the Cole estate was lavishly decorated.
04:14Evelyn had spent the entire afternoon helping the housekeeper prepare Christmas dinner.
04:19But just as they were having dinner, Vanessa came down the stairs, wearing an Adrian white shirt.
04:25Sorry.
04:26It was too cold last night.
04:28I just grabbed one.
04:30Didn't have time to change.
04:32Go change your clothes.
04:33Prepare a coat for Mrs. Vanessa.
04:35Yes, sir.
04:37Don't overthink it.
04:38That's just her easygoing personality.
04:40Evelyn looked at his smile.
04:41That smile was sincere, open, flawless.
04:45But now, standing in the hospital corridor, looking at those shocking red marks on Vanessa's neck,
04:51Evelyn finally understood.
04:53All the flirtation had actually been foreshadowed long ago.
04:56She had just chosen to be blind.
04:59Those work meetings that ran late into the night, those suddenly canceled dates,
05:03those my phone-dyed excuses, unfamiliar perfume clinging to his shirt,
05:06she hadn't missed them.
05:07She had simply refused to see them.
05:09Evelyn returned to the Sinclair estate.
05:1512 Ionic Columns, Bronze Eagle Lampulse, founded 1872,
05:19five generations, empire spanning the globe.
05:22Evelyn was the sole heir.
05:23For the past seven years, she had concealed her surname for Adrian's sake.
05:26In front of Adrian, she was just an ordinary girl from a decent family.
05:29Parents with businesses in New York, an Ivy League education, but nothing special.
05:32She never mentioned the estate, never mentioned the trust fund,
05:34never mentioned those headache and lasting asset exclication reports from the family office.
05:38She lived with him in the 60-square-meter apartment,
05:39ate discounted frozen pizza from the supermarket with him,
05:42squeezed onto rush-out subways to Wall Street with him,
05:43from a tiny startup all the way to the day of the IPO bell staking.
05:46On the day of the bell staking, Adrian's trembled with excitement on the phone.
05:49Evelyn's, we did it!
05:51I'm so proud of you.
05:52What she didn't say was,
05:54Adrian's company secured its first crucial round of funding
05:56because Sincli's capital management division had quietly pushed it through.
05:58His products made it Evelyn of the single medical group had put in a word.
06:01No one knew.
06:01His path to IPO was so smooth because the Sincli family's network on Wall Street
06:05had quietly cleared every obstacle for him.
06:07She was afraid of hurting his pride.
06:21You've lost weight.
06:23So much weight.
06:24Didn't he take good care of you?
06:26I'm fine.
06:31Are you leaving again after this return?
06:33Not anymore.
06:39Julian has been waiting for you.
06:43Julian Hart, heir to the Hart Medical Group,
06:45New York's youngest neurosurgery prodigy,
06:47dual doctor degrees at 32,
06:48seven papers in the lesson,
06:5098.6% surgical success,
06:52legendary in medicine,
06:53in social circles always pre-feased with
06:54that boy who's been following Evelyn since childhood.
06:56He was her childhood sweetheart.
06:58Their two estates were separated only by a private driveway.
07:01They met at three.
07:02She was squatting in the garden,
07:02feeding an injured squirrel.
07:04For the next decade and more,
07:04he quietly stood behind her.
07:06She learned piano.
07:06He read beside her.
07:07She went to boarding school.
07:08He followed to the same one.
07:09Every birthday,
07:10he sent her a white rose.
07:11Evelyn's eyes were full of Adrian.
07:12She never looked back.
07:14Julian never complained.
07:16He just waited.
07:17Waited for her to turn around
07:19or for her to be happy.
07:21But she neither turned around
07:22nor found happiness
07:24until now.
07:33Dr. Hart,
07:34the patient is in position.
07:35Vital tines are stable.
07:47A 2.3 centimeter mentoneoma
07:50less than four millimeters
07:51from the language center.
07:53Too much by one millimeter,
07:54she'd never speak again.
07:56Start the clock.
07:58Four hours later,
07:59the most dangerous phase,
08:01tumor dissection.
08:02Less than half a millimeter.
08:03Fifteen seconds to cut.
08:06Three tenths of a millimeter
08:07of precision.
08:08One wrong move.
08:09She'd never speak again.
08:11The final suture.
08:13Seven hours and 25 minutes.
08:17Vital signs stable.
08:18Language function to be assessed post-op.
08:21Seven hours.
08:22He finally replied,
08:23I'll be there.
08:24That evening,
08:25Julian appeared at the estate.
08:41Did he hurt you?
08:45It doesn't matter anymore.
08:53If you're willing,
08:54the wedding can begin at any time.
09:00Yes.
09:02I won't ask you why.
09:06But I want you to know something.
09:08I'm not waiting for a position to open up.
09:11You don't need to marry me to prove anything.
09:14Not to Adrian,
09:15not to your father,
09:15not to yourself.
09:17If you wake up tomorrow
09:18and change your mind,
09:19nothing changes.
09:20I'll still be here,
09:21just like the past dozen years.
09:25I'm not saying yes to escape him.
09:28It's because
09:29I'm tired.
09:31I want to be somewhere
09:32I don't have to make myself smaller.
09:35Then it's perfect.
09:36I don't need you to be smaller here.
09:38Julian, stay for dinner.
09:42After leaving the hospital,
09:44he went straight to the apartment.
09:50She had packed her things
09:52and left quietly.
09:58The number you have dialed
09:59is temporarily unisavable.
10:09Do you really love her?
10:11Of course.
10:14What about me?
10:23Mr. Aiden,
10:24something terrible has happened.
10:25The Sinclair financial financial
10:26pulled into its investments.
10:26What did you say?
10:27But now we're the Sinclair family
10:28with the Hart family.
10:49My God.
10:50She's the Sinclair heir?
10:52I thought she was just
10:53Adrian's ordinary girlfriend.
10:55Adrian never made this public.
10:56Is he insane?
10:58Does he even know what he missed?
11:01Whispers rose and fell
11:02like the buzzing
11:03of a swarm of bees.
11:04Just then,
11:05the doors opened again.
11:09The man's breath stopped.
11:10He spotted Evelyn at once.
11:11Evelyn was more radiant
11:12than ever before.
11:14Evelyn,
11:14let's talk.
11:16Who is he?
11:19Her future husband.
11:21Are you joking?
11:22I'm not joking.
11:23The wedding is set for next week.
11:25You're willing to gamble
11:25even just to spite me?
11:27Adrian,
11:28not everyone is as filthy as you.
11:32The GALA officially began.
11:34His presentation was ready.
11:36He knew the importance of this.
11:38If he could win over
11:39those key figures in the audience,
11:40the company's valuation
11:42would at least double next year.
11:48The host's voice rang out.
11:49Next,
11:50let us welcome the CEO of
11:52Cole Tech,
11:52Mr. Adrian Cole,
11:54to the stage.
12:01Good evening, everyone.
12:02First,
12:02I'd like to thank the organizers
12:04for the invitation.
12:05And now,
12:05here is the detailed report
12:06on this project.
12:07Please look at the screen.
12:14What appeared on the screen
12:15was not the meticulously
12:17designed presentation,
12:18came through clearly
12:19from the top-tier sound system.
12:21Stop it.
12:22Evelyn will find out.
12:23Then what are you afraid of?
12:24Am I better,
12:24or is your Evelyn better?
12:26Don't mention that frigid woman.
12:27You're the exciting one.
12:29The scene switched.
12:30In the office,
12:31Vanessa in a secretary outfit
12:33kneeling before Adrian's desk
12:34on the yacht's deck.
12:35The images grew
12:37increasingly indecent.
12:40In every day,
12:41Evelyn cooked for him.
12:43In every late night,
12:44she stayed up,
12:44organizing his contracts.
12:46She knelt in the rain,
12:47begging for investment
12:48on his behalf.
12:49He had been rolling
12:50in the sheets
12:50with another woman.
12:51The venue
12:52who should be explaining.
12:53The media cameras went wild.
12:55Guests were in uproar.
12:56Some knocked over wine glasses.
12:58Oh my God.
12:58He's actually sleeping
12:58with his own brother's widow?
13:00I'll discord this.
13:01This is you.
13:03Turn it off now.
13:05The crowd's murmuring
13:06instantly reached a boiling point.
13:08Female guests stormed out.
13:11It wasn't until
13:13the organizer's staff
13:14finally rushed up
13:15and cut the power,
13:16but it was all too late.
13:17The hashtag
13:18Politex scandal
13:19surged to the number one
13:20trending topic in America
13:21on Twitter,
13:22Instagram,
13:23and TikTok
13:24within 15 minutes.
13:26Evelyn stood alone
13:27in the stairwell,
13:28waiting for Julian.
13:35You followed me here.
13:37I need to talk to you.
13:39There's nothing to talk about.
13:40Yes, there is.
13:41You owe me an explanation?
13:44Since when are you
13:45a Sinclair?
13:46Seven years.
13:47You lied to me
13:47for seven years?
13:49I lied to you
13:50for seven years.
13:51You lied to me
13:51for three.
13:52By my count,
13:53you still owe me four.
13:56I'm not here to fight.
13:58Evelyn, come back.
13:59I know I was wrong.
14:00I'll change everything.
14:01I'll drop the project.
14:02I'll end things with Vanessa.
14:02Whatever you want.
14:03Just come back.
14:04Three years ago,
14:05also in a stairwell.
14:06It was two in the morning.
14:08She had waited
14:08four hours in the cold.
14:10Working late.
14:10Where were you?
14:11What perfume is that?
14:13A colleague brushed
14:14against me by accident.
14:15Three years later,
14:16same man,
14:17same lies,
14:18tangled with the same pleas.
14:20Adrian,
14:20do you know why
14:21I never talked
14:21about my family?
14:23Because I knew
14:23if one day you found out
14:24I'm a Sinclair,
14:25you'd become a different person.
14:26Not because you love me,
14:28because you love Sinclair.
14:29I don't need someone
14:30who loves me
14:31because of my last name.
14:32So I chose to stay silent
14:34for seven years.
14:35I wanted to see
14:36if you could love
14:37an ordinary Evelyn.
14:39Turns out you love neither.
14:40You love yourself.
14:43Let go.
14:44Give me five minutes.
14:45You don't even deserve
14:46five seconds.
14:51Adrien chased out
14:52like a madman.
14:55Listen to me!
14:56Explain how you slept
14:56with your brother's widow
14:57behind my back?
14:58Or explain how you told me
14:59you loved me
15:00while sleeping with her
15:00for three years?
15:01But the one I love
15:02has always been you!
15:03Love?
15:04Your love is too disgusting.
15:11For the first time,
15:13he felt that something
15:14was completely lost
15:15and could never be found again.
15:17After the video incident,
15:19Coltec stock price
15:20plummeted 37% overnight.
15:27The board held
15:28an emergency meeting.
15:29With all directors
15:30unanimously voting
15:31to demand
15:32Adrien resign as CEO,
15:34partners pulled
15:34their investments.
15:35Suppliers began
15:36demanding repayment.
15:38Employees resigned en masse.
15:39The entire New York
15:41high society
15:42was watching the spectacle
15:43and Adrien
15:44completely lost control.
15:46He began searching
15:46frantically for Evelyn,
15:48went to her favorite
15:48French restaurant,
15:50went to Central Park,
15:52went to the seaside.
15:53He even staked out
15:54the Sinclair estate
15:55in the middle of the night.
15:56He knew she was inside,
15:58but he couldn't get in.
16:00Sorry, Mr. Cole,
16:01you're not on today's
16:02visitor list.
16:04Evelyn didn't see him
16:05even once.
16:07One week later,
16:08the Hart estate,
16:09the entire New York elite
16:10gathered.
16:11Julian stood at the end
16:12of the altar,
16:13waiting for the person
16:14he had waited
16:15over a decade for.
16:16And Evelyn,
16:17she walked toward Julian.
16:20Everyone marveled,
16:21this was truly a love
16:23between equals.
16:24But just as the officiant
16:25was about to pronounce
16:26the vows.
16:28The chapel doors
16:29were violently pushed open,
16:31Adrien burst in.
16:32Don't get married!
16:34The venue instantly
16:35erupted into commotion.
16:37Evelyn,
16:38his voice was
16:38harcy and desperate.
16:40I know I was wrong,
16:40give me one more chance!
16:41But Julian stood between them,
16:43like a wall
16:43that would never fall.
16:46Don't you love me anymore?
16:51I once loved you very much,
16:53but you destroyed that love
16:54with your own hands.
16:55Now,
16:56I don't want you anymore.
17:00Let's continue.
17:01Yes.
17:03And Adrien stood outside
17:05the crowd,
17:05like someone completely
17:06abandoned by the world.
17:07After the wedding,
17:08the first snow of the season
17:09fell over New York.
17:10Julian held her hand.
17:11He didn't say a word.
17:12He knew that some wounds
17:13couldn't be healed
17:14by a single wedding.
17:15After returning to the estate,
17:16Evelyn stood alone
17:17on the terrace.
17:22It's cold.
17:23Julian.
17:24Hmm?
17:25Do you think I was foolish?
17:28Why do you ask?
17:29Seven years.
17:31I nearly lost everything for him.
17:33Julian was silent
17:34because he knew better
17:35than anyone
17:35how deeply Evelyn
17:36had once loved Adrien.
17:38That year,
17:38Adrien's company
17:39had a cash flow breakdown.
17:41He hadn't slept
17:41for three consecutive days,
17:43sat drunk on the edge
17:44of the fooftop,
17:44saying he couldn't
17:45hold on anymore.
17:47Evelyn went home
17:48that very night.
17:49It was the first time
17:50she had set foot
17:50in the estate
17:51after a year
17:52of silent treatment
17:53with her father.
17:54She knelt outside
17:55the studio
17:55for a full six hours.
17:57From midnight
17:57until dawn,
17:58finally,
17:59she collapsed
17:59right there in the corridor.
18:01When she woke,
18:01she was lying
18:02in her old bedroom.
18:03Her mother sat
18:04by the bed
18:04with red eyes.
18:05Her father stood
18:06at the doorway,
18:07his back to her,
18:08shoulders trembling slightly.
18:11Was the funding approved?
18:13The Sinclair Financial Group
18:14secretly invested
18:15$300 million.
18:17Adrien survived
18:18the most dangerous period.
18:20But he never knew,
18:21because Evelyn
18:22wouldn't allow anyone
18:23to tell him.
18:24She was afraid
18:25of hurting his pride.
18:26Thinking of this,
18:27Julian's eyes
18:28darkened gradually.
18:29He suddenly felt
18:30a hatred for Adrien.
18:32Not because of jealousy,
18:33but because that man
18:34had once possessed
18:35such a woman,
18:36yet didn't know
18:37how to cherish her.
18:38I used to think
18:39that if I loved someone enough,
18:41he would never leave.
18:42Later,
18:43I realized that human nature
18:44cannot withstand the test.
18:46Julian suddenly reached out
18:47and gently embraced
18:48her from behind.
18:50It won't be like that anymore.
18:53You don't have to
18:54please anyone anymore.
18:55In that moment,
18:57Evelyn's yenching
18:57Thuranser turns home.
18:59Doe from grievance.
19:00Doe from nostalgia.
19:02Doe away for the first time
19:03she understood.
19:04But who'd really love you,
19:05Dorin,
19:05will never make you feel
19:06small.
19:07Meanwhile,
19:08Vanessa was smoking
19:09in a hotel suite.
19:11On the television,
19:12the news of Evelyn's wedding
19:14played on a loop.
19:15Why should she?
19:16She murmured to herself.
19:18Why is she always
19:19so high above everyone?
19:20The question she had carried
19:22since childhood.
19:23No one knew.
19:25Vanessa had lived
19:26next to the Sinclair estate
19:27as a child.
19:29Her mother was a servant
19:30at the estate.
19:31She woke at five
19:32every morning
19:33and didn't finish
19:34until ten at night.
19:35Her monthly salary
19:36barely enough
19:37to feed mother and daughter.
19:38From the moment
19:39she was born,
19:40she was a princess
19:40held in everyone's hands.
19:42When Vanessa was five,
19:43through the gaps
19:44in the estate's iron gates,
19:45she saw Evelyn
19:46sitting on a garden swing.
19:47In that moment,
19:49Vanessa looked down
19:49at her own dress,
19:50mended three times,
19:51and something quietly
19:52cracked inside her.
19:53They learned piano together,
19:55the same teacher,
19:56the same instrument,
19:59and the teacher
20:00always only praised Evelyn.
20:01Vanessa sat right beside her,
20:03and the teacher
20:03never even glanced her way.
20:06Vanessa fought her way
20:08into the Cole family.
20:09She used every means
20:11at her disposal,
20:12beauty, cunning,
20:13perfectly timed
20:14Aaron Cole's interest.
20:15Wearing an expensive
20:16wedding dress,
20:17standing in the church,
20:18she finally caught
20:19she had finally won,
20:20but Aaron never loved her.
20:21That man had
20:22countless women outside,
20:23spending less than
20:24a hundred days a year
20:25at home combined.
20:26Vanessa lived in extreme
20:27repression after marriage,
20:28guarding in M. Defty gowns,
20:30drinking red wine alone,
20:31on every lonely night.
20:33Until after Aaron's death,
20:35Adrian began taking care of her.
20:37She discovered that
20:38even the man
20:38Elilin possessed
20:39could lose control for her.
20:41That feeling of seizure.
20:43It became addicted.
20:45So after that,
20:46she deliberately tested
20:47the waters,
20:47again and again,
20:48wearing Adrian's shirt,
20:50knocking on his door
20:50in the middle of the night,
20:52step by step,
20:52finally fell.
20:53Vanessa looked down
20:54at the remaining red liquid
20:55in her glass
20:56and suddenly laughed coldly.
20:58Too bad,
20:58in the end,
20:59she's still the one who won.
21:00Three days after the wedding.
21:05This is the Sinclair Financial Group's
21:07investment records
21:07from back then.
21:08Mr. Adrian,
21:09I think you should see this.
21:10He frowned
21:11and took the file.
21:12He turned to the first page.
21:15He froze completely.
21:17Adrian's hands
21:18began to tremble.
21:19Actually,
21:20when your company
21:20was about to go bankrupt,
21:22it was Miss Evelyn
21:22who saved you.
21:23To persuade the Sinclair
21:24board of directors,
21:25knelt outside the estate
21:26all night.
21:27His mind
21:28went instantly blank.
21:29He finally remembered.
21:30During that time,
21:31Evelyn had indeed been ill
21:32for a long line.
21:33She said it was a cold,
21:34running a high fever for days,
21:36so weak she could barely walk.
21:37He was busy saving the company,
21:39briefly of hot water
21:40and left it again.
21:40She never told him the reason,
21:42because she had always
21:43protected his property.
21:44And him?
21:45What had he done her?
21:46At the time she trusted him most,
21:47he was entangled
21:48with another woman
21:49for three years.
21:51Took her seven years of love
21:52for granted.
21:54The outside world
21:55always thought Julian
21:56was gentle.
21:57Only Evelyn knew.
21:59This man's possessiveness,
22:01deep in his bones.
22:02Mrs. Hart,
22:03you're even more beautiful
22:04than in the news.
22:05A young millionaire approached.
22:14Excuse me.
22:15My wife doesn't like
22:16strangers getting too close.
22:19She suddenly thought of Adrian.
22:21Don't overthink.
22:21That man who never
22:22admitted his jealousy.
22:24Only using cold silence
22:26and the silent treatment.
22:29But Julian was different.
22:32And laughed.
22:34He admitted it.
22:35Because you're too charming.
22:36Openly, without concealment.
22:38Truly mature love,
22:39but about devotion.
22:41Five years later,
22:42Evelyn brought her children
22:43for a routine checkup.
22:44She heard arguing
22:45from a corner
22:46and followed the sound.
22:48If it weren't for you,
22:49how would I have gotten
22:49this disease?
22:50You blame me?
22:51You couldn't control yourself
22:52and now you're putting it on me?
22:54That woman got a venereal disease
22:57and passed it to the man.
22:59Serves them right.
23:00I heard they used to be
23:01quite wealthy.
23:02Now they can't even borrow
23:04enough for treatment.
23:05He raised his head
23:06and saw her.
23:07She was still beautiful.
23:08Julian stood beside her,
23:09one hand holding their son,
23:10the other cradling their daughter
23:11like the happiest family.
23:15He began to suffer
23:16from insomnia every night.
23:18In his run-down rental apartment,
23:20her old photos remained.
23:21What do you regret most in your life?
23:22He would watch her interview videos
23:24over and over and over again.
23:26Do you regret it?
23:28He was silent for a very long time.
23:32The biggest regret of my life
23:33is losing Evelyn.
23:35Sadly,
23:35once a rising star of Wall Street.
23:37In the end,
23:38he died without a sound.
23:39When Evelyn learned the news,
23:40she was painting with her children.
23:41He chose not to tell her.
23:43Not yet.
23:44Small son
23:45drew blue hand rays beside it.
23:49Evelyn.
23:50He told her.
23:51I won't go.
23:52It's all over.
23:56Outside the window,
23:58the light was beautiful.
23:59Today is another brand new day.
24:06Your dress is dirty.
24:08They were three when they met.
24:13When they were ten,
24:14she left for Switzerland.
24:16He waited at the window
24:17every morning for three years.
24:19At thirteen,
24:20she came back
24:21down the driveway
24:22with a white rose.
24:23Julian,
24:24you've grown so much.
24:26He smiled.
24:27The same smile
24:28as when she was three.
24:30At fifteen,
24:31they were at the same boarding school.
24:33He always walked
24:34three steps behind her.
24:36Close enough
24:36if she turned around.
24:38Far enough
24:39not to disturb her
24:40if she didn't.
24:44What are you doing?
24:45It's your birthday.
24:46I'm making blueberry pancakes.
24:49Fifteen years of white roses.
24:51This pancake is the best thing
24:53I've ever had.
24:53He saw her with Adrian
24:55for the first time
24:55at twenty-four.
24:57She stood beside another man,
24:59her weight tilted
25:00five degrees toward him.
25:02The three-step distance
25:04he'd kept for a decade
25:05became zero.
25:07For someone else.
25:09The rare winter sunlight
25:10spilled softly
25:11across New York.
25:12Evelyn sat on the carpet
25:14inside Julian's study,
25:16helping him organize
25:17old documents.
25:18After marriage,
25:19she gradually realized
25:20something about Juliet.
25:21he had a slight obsession
25:22with order.
25:23Medical journals
25:24had to be sorted by year.
25:25Pens had to face
25:26the same direction.
25:28Even the colors of file balds
25:29had to match perfectly.
25:30So disciplined,
25:31almost severe
25:32in his self-control,
25:33he indulged
25:34every little flaw she had.
25:35Thinking of this,
25:36Evelyn couldn't help
25:37smiling faintly.
25:38Then suddenly,
25:39her eyes landed
25:40on a locked black box.
25:41Evelyn paused,
25:43because Julian rarely
25:44hid anything from her.
25:45After hesitating for a moment,
25:47she reached down
25:48and picked it up.
25:49At the very top,
25:50lay an old photograph,
25:51slightly yellowed with age.
25:53It was 15-year-old Evelyn,
25:55standing beside a grand piano.
25:56Her head lowered slightly
25:57as warm light brushed
25:59across her delicate profile.
26:00Slowly,
26:01she turned it over,
26:01and on the back,
26:03in calm,
26:03restricted handwriting,
26:04was a single sentence.
26:052009,
26:06her first public piano performance.
26:08And gradually realized,
26:09everything inside
26:10was related to her.
26:11Her high school interview clippings,
26:13photos from university
26:14debate competitions,
26:15a Christmas card she had casually
26:16to Julian years ago,
26:17even an old movie ticket
26:18she had accidentally left behind.
26:20These were things
26:21even she herself had forgotten.
26:22Yet Julian had kept all of them,
26:24for over 10 years.
26:26At that moment,
26:27the study door suddenly opened.
26:28Julian was back.
26:30Silence filled the room.
26:32Evelyn slowly looked up at him.
26:35Julian,
26:37why did you keep all these?
26:40Because I couldn't bear
26:42to throw them away.
26:44But these were all
26:45from so many years ago.
26:47But to me,
26:49I never forgot a single day.
26:51Rain poured heavily over New York
26:53at one in the morning.
26:54Evelyn sat on the floor
26:55of her apartment living room.
26:57The room around her was a mess.
26:58Financing documents
26:59scattered everywhere.
27:01Coffee gone completely cold.
27:02And her trembling hands
27:04after too many sleepless nights.
27:06Adrian hadn't come home
27:07for three days.
27:09Coal Tech had recently fallen
27:11into financial trouble
27:12and the entire company
27:14was on the verge of collapse.
27:15Evelyn had practically handled
27:17all the investor negotiations alone.
27:36The room instantly became quiet.
27:43Evelyn froze.
27:44Because even Adrian
27:45didn't know that habit of hers.
27:48Ms. Sinclair,
27:49this is dinner ordered for you
27:50by Mr. Julian Hart.
27:52Inside the insulated bag
27:53were all her favorite dishes.
27:55Warm milk,
27:56creamy mushroom soup,
27:57and pumpkin porridge
27:58she only ate
27:59whenever her stomach hurt.
28:00Evelyn froze at the denment
28:02for of a very long time,
28:03only to suddenly notice
28:05a familiar black Benti
28:06parked across the street below.
28:07Rain crashed heavily
28:09against the city.
28:10The windows were dark,
28:11yet Evelyn recognized
28:12the car instantly.
28:13It belonged to Julian.
28:14The next day,
28:16Evelyn finally went
28:17to the hospital to see him.
28:18Julian had just finished surgery,
28:21still dressed in his white coat,
28:22but the moment he looked up
28:23and saw her,
28:24his cold expression
28:25sopened almost instantly.
28:27What brings you here?
28:29Last night,
28:30were you downstairs all night?
28:32It hasn't been safe lately.
28:33You're living alone.
28:34I was worried.
28:35After that night,
28:36Evelyn couldn't stop
28:37thinking about Julian.
28:38She remembered him
28:39fixing her windblown hair
28:41in the hospital,
28:41and how he softly said
28:43he was worried about her.
28:44She always thought
28:45he was gentle to everyone,
28:46but she was wrong.
28:47He was cold to everyone else.
28:49Only to her,
28:51he was different.
28:52One afternoon,
28:53she went to deliver documents.
28:56Have you been in love
28:57with Miss Evelyn
28:58for many years?
29:00Is it that obvious?
29:01Then why have you
29:02never told her?
29:05Because she used
29:06to love someone else.
29:07I couldn't bear
29:08to make things
29:09difficult for her.
29:20What's wrong?
29:24Julian,
29:26all these years,
29:28were you very lonely?
29:30It was the third month
29:31after their marriage.
29:32Evelyn came to the Hart estate
29:34for the first time.
29:35After dinner,
29:37Julian was called
29:37to the study
29:38by the elders.
29:39Evelyn stayed alone
29:40in the lounge.
29:42Master Julian
29:43finally got to marry you.
29:46Waited for me?
29:51Waited for me?
29:56What do you mean?
29:57You really didn't know?
30:02Master Julian
30:03wasn't like this before.
30:04He was cold and quiet
30:06when he was young.
30:07The entire Hart family
30:08believed he would simply
30:09marry according to
30:10family arrangements.
30:12Until later,
30:13you appeared.
30:15The first day he met you,
30:17after returning home,
30:18he sat alone in the garden
30:19the entire night.
30:20No one knew what had happened.
30:21But after that,
30:22he began remembering
30:22things he never cared about before.
30:24Your birthday,
30:25your piano performances,
30:26the flowers you liked,
30:27even a dessert shop
30:28you mentioned only once.
30:29There was a period
30:29when he often stayed out
30:30the entire night.
30:31He had simply gotten used
30:32to driving near your university.
30:33Sometimes he would
30:34stay there for hours.
30:35Why?
30:37Why did he never tell me
30:38any of this?
30:40Because Master Julian
30:42couldn't bear to.
30:44He couldn't bear to
30:45make you feel pressured.
30:51What's wrong?
30:56Don't wait for me
30:57alone anymore.
31:01Six months after marriage,
31:03Evelyn realized something.
31:04She hadn't had stomach pain
31:06for a long time.
31:07She used to skip meals,
31:09live on coffee,
31:10and stay up late.
31:11Now she eats on time,
31:13warm water always waits
31:14by her bed.
31:15Even her office coffee
31:16was quietly replaced
31:17with decaf.
31:18She never thought about
31:19who did all these.
31:20One afternoon,
31:22she came home early.
31:23She saw Julian
31:24quietly reading a cookbook.
31:25She froze.
31:26He never looked
31:27like a kitchen person.
31:29You came home early today.
31:32If your stomach worsens,
31:34it'll get serious later.
31:39Evelyn's eyes stung.
31:40No one cared like this before,
31:42not even herself.
31:44That night,
31:45she realized
31:45what true love is.
31:47It's not loud.
31:48It's in everyday details.
31:49Remembering every small habit
31:51she ignored.
31:53Julian never said,
31:54I love you.
31:55He hides love quietly
31:57in daily life.
31:58Quietly,
31:59slowly,
32:00patiently,
32:01tenderly.
32:02Love is in the unspoken care.
32:04Always quiet.
32:05Always there.
