Never Blinded by Love (Linda and Wilson)

When Linda made her request, she knew William would agree.

In the past, many things had been uncertain, but not now. It seemed like the script had reversed itself as he would agree to whatever Linda asked for immediately. In the dead of night, Linda found herself dreaming of the days when they lived together.

If such happiness existed in the past, everything that followed might never have happened. They might have become the happiest family of three. Unfortunately, many things remained mere fantasies.

The scenes in her dreams mirrored the reality she faced. William never truly believed in her. The child they hoped for never came into this world, and she woke up in the hospital in Usna. She harbored resentment before, but she had come to terms with it.

Reaching this point wasn't just a matter of coincidence but was all under her control. She could have had a smooth, successful life, but in the end, she still fell into the abyss. Love, after all, was just a game. In the end, someone had to pay the price. Unfortunately, that someone was Linda.

A week later, Linda met with William at a private dining restaurant.

By the time Linda returned, the place was nearly on the verge of closing down.

In recent years, the entire city of Osmo had transformed. Many old stores had expanded into branches nationwide, while some steadfastly traditional ones were forced to shut down.

Linda remembered how much she loved this restaurant. Every time Linda had a falling out with William, she would come here to eat. The owner was a gentle woman. She would talk to Linda about personal matters and help soothe her troubled emotions.

Later, when Linda heard from Wendy that the restaurant was closing, she bought it without hesitation. After all, it was the only place she felt warmth after her marriage.

Linda reserved a private room for their lunch meeting and ordered dishes she particularly enjoyed. After all, she was no longer at the age where she would give up everything for William.

"I don't remember what you like to eat, so I ordered some of my favorites. If you don't like them, we can order something else," Linda said when William arrived.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

It felt like meeting an old friend after a long time apart, with a touch of formality.

William felt a tightness in his throat and took some time to find his voice. "It's okay. As long as you like it."

When the dishes were served, William's heart ached as he looked at them. It seemed she no longer remembered his preferences because she had long adapted her tastes to his.

"I heard from Lina that you have three requests. The first two have been agreed to, and the third one is to meet me. I'm sure you have something you want to discuss, so please go ahead. I have a meeting later this afternoon."
