My steps faltered as I suddenly remembered how she once begged me to quit my job at Toppest Law Firm and work as a minor legal consultant in her newly opened company.
At that time, I was still the eldest son of the Gray family, and she was just a poor student receiving financial aid.
My act of moving into a shabby apartment for the sake of love was even ridiculed by friends as "bravely running towards love."
Agnes also laughed, saying we were a couple bound by fate and even went to various temples to pray for a talisman of love, hoping we could meet again and fall in love in our next life.
But the talismans she prayed for were completely burned five years ago by a cigarette Milan left smoldering.
I was furious at the time, wanting to fire Milan, but she casually remarked.
"It's just some useless paper from those fraudulent guys trying to scam people for money. Nothing precious. I used to fall for that when I was younger, but not anymore."
I have asthma, so she was the one who initially forbade anyone from smoking inside the villa.
Back then, I didn't want to admit that Agnes no longer loved me, so I stubbornly stayed by her side.
