Falling for My Contractual Wife

Charles nodded slowly.

He gazed into the distance and said slowly, "I've let her down."

Charles spoke about his relationship with Madam Lily.

Charles came from an average family. He and Lily grew up together.

Lily grew up in a single-parent family and was very rebellious. Her grades were not good, and her only hobby was painting.

At that time, she didn't draw watercolor paintings; instead, she drew his portrait the most.

Their love took root while they were young.

When they were in high school, to ensure she could enter the same university as him, Charles brought her home almost every day to tutor her. At night, he would send her home.

That period was the happiest and most carefree time in Charles's life.

Unfortunately, good times did not last long.

The West family quickly realized that something was up between the two of them.

On the same night Charles confessed to Lily, he learned that he actually had a fiancée.

His fiancée was Samantha Gibson, the daughter of the Gibson Group.

Charles's father had once saved Samantha's life. The Gibson family was very superstitious. In the past, a fortune teller predicted that Samantha would suffer a bloody calamity when she was ten years old. The fortune teller advised that if Samantha survived, the family would have to do more good deeds.

In the end, Samantha indeed encountered a calamity when she was ten. Therefore, her parents decided that as a form of good deeds, Samantha would be betrothed to the West family.

The adults of both families had long agreed that Charles and Samantha would get married one day. Samantha was arrogant and overbearing. She looked down on Charles at the time, so they had never met before they got married.

It was not until Charles expanded the Gibson family's business and displayed outstanding business acumen that Samantha slowly fell in love with him.

At first, Charles resisted marrying Samantha after finding out about the engagement, but he did not dare to tell Lily about this.

Right before Charles and Lily's

college entrance examination, the West family met with Lily and told

her to break up with Charles for his own good.

From that day on, Charles never saw Lily again. She didn't even take the college entrance examination.

On the day of his wedding to Samantha, Charles received a painting. The characters in the painting were him and Samantha.

Since then, Lily had never drawn a portrait.

As for Charles, he lost all connection to Lily. It was as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth. Tears blurred Charles's eyes as he told Grace the story.

He raised his hand to wipe his eyes. He asked, "She's the only woman I've ever let down in my life. Is she doing well now?"

After listening to Charles's story, Grace had mixed feelings.

She replied, "Madam Lily is living quite well. She's obsessed with flowers now and often goes to listen to musicals. She has a small island in Merion. She has a villa there, There are all kinds of green plants and flowers around her house. I've been there twice. It's as beautiful as a paradise."

When Charles heard Grace's description, he could imagine Lily sitting comfortably in the rocking chair under the flowers.

Tears welled up in his eyes again. What Grace said was a life he had promised Lily!

In the end, Lily achieved the dream life they had envisioned alone.

"Did her husband treat her well?" Charles finally mustered up the courage to ask the question he was most concerned about.

Grace looked at him in a daze. After a long time, she said, "Madam Lily has never married."noveldrama

Charles widened his eyes in disbelief. He exclaimed, "Are you saying she has always been single?" Charles's heart ached even more.
