Chapter 1

• Outside the airport, the autumn wind was blowing and people on the road were wrapping their clothes tightly. Nathan rushed out, his black trench coat fluttering in the cold wind, but his eyes were no more determined than they were now.
• Valentina, wait for me...
• He quickly gestured to hail a taxi, unable to wait to get into the car, he knocked and closed the door,"Go to Hyde Park, quickly!"
• The driver responded promptly and drove off.
• "Nathan!"
• Matt moved through the crowd and finally made it outside the airport, but he had just seen Nathan leaving in a car.
• "Nathan!"
• Matt chased the car a few steps and shouted:
• "Wait!! Nathan!"
• The car turned a corner and disappeared, leaving a trail of smoke.
• Matt's shouts only caught the attention of passersby, unfamiliar looks were directed at him, while Nathan's car moved further away.
• Nathan...
• Matt watched the fading car, his steps slowly came to a halt and his eyes were already filled with tears.
• Just a little... Just a little more, and Nathan would board the plane with him.
• "Hurry up! Speed up!"
• Nathan, who sat in the back seat, his anxiety and anticipation worsening,
• "Hurry up! Can you go faster?"
• He asked the driver eagerly.
• "The young man is in such a hurry, are you chasing after your girlfriend?"
• Nathan was stunned, was it that obvious?
• "Yes..."
• The man looked at Nathan through the rearview mirror and said.
• "I can't be wrong in seeing your excitement. Have you just returned from out of town?"
• Nathan shook his head.
• "Oh, I see. The driver nodded."
• "It's not good to go to your girlfriend empty"handed, bring a gift to see her, she will definitely be happy to jump into your arms.
• Jump into my arms?
• Just thinking about the way Valentina would throw herself into his arms, Nathan felt his heart beating uncontrollably.
• Looking out the car window, he looked from left to right, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
• "Stop!"
• The driver slowly parked the car on the side of the road.
• "Please wait a minute, I'll get down and be right back"Nathan said, immediately opened the car door and walked.
• "Hello" he said to the florist employee. "I want a bouquet of flowers."
• "What flowers do you need?"
• The employee smiled and asked.
• "99 roses" said Nathan.
• "Would you like red roses?" The employee asked.
• "No!" Nathan refused categorically.
• Jacob had sent red roses, how could he do the same?
• "Is champagne rose okay?" The employee continued to recommend.
• "Falling in love with you is my greatest happiness in this life, thinking of you is my sweetest pain, being with you is my pride, and without you I am like a ship that has lost its course."
• His floral language can also be "I will love you for all eternity."
• Nathan reached out and touched the delicate champagne rose petals and nodded,
• "That's it, wrap it up."
• Nathan remembered the moments with Valentina, whether it was one of her antics or one of her scoldings, she is his world, how could he lose her? Why didn't he realize it before?
• "Is that okay, sir?"
• Nathan replied, paid the money, and left with the flowers. He sat in the taxi, only hoping that the car could go faster and faster.
• He reached into his pocket, took out his mobile phone, and wanted to call Valentina, but suddenly remembered that Valentina's phone had been broken by himself.
• "I'm sorry, the phone I'm dialing cannot answer at this time."
• Nathan held the phone and an infinite guilt appeared on his face.
• Whether Valentina wanted to kick him several times or hit him, he would obediently accept her anger, as long as she could forgive him, as long as she could let him be by her side, he would do anything she imposed.
• "We have arrived" The driver spoke.
• Nathan took a wad of money from his wallet and handed it over, then hurriedly ran out.
• After getting out of the car, he looked up at the twenty floors that separated him from home.
• Unconsciously, the corners of his mouth lifted as Nathan entered the apartment building, rushed into the elevator, and pressed the number for his apartment.
• Nathan opened the apartment door, holding flowers in his hand, and shouted eagerly.
• "Valentina!"
• "My love! Where are you? " Nathan's tone was full of unmistakable smiles. " I'm back! Did you hear me? Valentina!"
• Nathan walked from one room to another to find the empty living room, she was nowhere to be found, she...
• Looking at the door that someone had kicked open, Nathan was a little stunned.
• Kevin told him that someone had taken Valentina,
• She hadn't returned since then?
• Nathan was a little nervous and ran back to the living room, and indeed, he saw the mobile phone still lying silently on the carpet.
• "Jacob!"
• Nathan's eyebrows furrowed.
• "It must have been Jacob who took her!"
• Thinking this, Nathan quickly turned around and ran out.
• Valentina, don't do it, don't be with Jacob....
• I have to apologize to you, beg you to love me, give me a chance, you can't be with him.
• As he left the complex, Nathan flagged down another taxi and gave Jacob's address, and the car sped off like an arrow.
• When Nathan arrived at Jacob's house, he was about to go out for dinner, and was very surprised to see Nathan running towards him with a large bouquet of roses.
• "Where is Valentina?! " Nathan asked Jacob immediately, looking at the closed door behind him and said "Is she here?"
• Jacob frowned and asked.
• "Valentina is not here with me, shouldn't she be at your house?"
• "Don't lie to me, are you trying to hide her?!"
• Nathan suddenly grabbed his collar " Did you not take her?"
• "What are you talking about? " Jacob's doubts grew even more, and he asked eagerly.
• "What happened to her? Where should I have taken her from?"
• "Wasn't it you?"
• Nathan was still a little incredulous.
• "You really don't know where she is? Valentina! Are you there?!"
• Jacob grabbed him by the collar and said.
• "Tell me what the hell happened!"
• "Open the door first! " Nathan said in a cold voice.
• Jacob looked at him and took the key to open the door.
• The moment he opened the door, Nathan rushed in,
• "Valentina! Valentina, are you here? Valentina!"
• "I told you she's not here! " Jacob followed him and said.
• "Has she left?"
• Nathan continued to search from room to room, and indeed, he did not see Valentina's figure.
• "She really isn't here?"
• "What the hell is wrong with Valentina? " Jacob asked.
• "She's not at home, and she's not here " Nathan said with a hint of panic on his face"" where else could she go?
• "Are you intimidating Valentina again?!"
• Jacob approached immediately, looking at Nathan.
• "I ... "Nathan pursed his lips, looked at Jacob, and suddenly his eyes sharpened, and he roared.
• "Why did you send flowers to my wife? Why are you sending her such ambiguous text messages?"
• "How do you know?! " Jacob's eyes suddenly narrowed.
• "I've seen everything! " Nathan shouted angrily.
• "I advise you not to get your hopes up! She is my wife, now and even after death she will still be my wife!"
• "Aren't you gay?! Aren't you with Matt?!"
• Jacob also roared " What are you doing clinging to Valentina?"
• "I like Valentina! " Nathan shouted.
• "I love her, I'm in love with her!"
• Jacob froze, opened his mouth, and forgot to react.
• "Did I hear correctly? Did Nathan say he loves Valentina? Is he in love with her?"
• He snorted indignantly and turned to leave.
• She's not in the apartment, she's not with Jacob, then, the hospital... Nathan was surprised, she must be in the hospital.
• Running out of Jacob's house, Nathan ran to the hospital without stopping.
• Jacob then ran out of the house, drove his car, and followed Nathan to the hospital. At the hospital, Nathan ran to Valentina's mother's room.
• "Valentina!" Nathan opened the door to the room.
• "Who are you looking for?" Sitting on the bed was an old man, looking at Nathan, who appeared at the door of the room shouting.
• "You..." Nathan paused, looked at the room number, it was the right one.
• Nathan asked, "Where did the patient who was in this room go?"
• "I don't know, I was admitted here."
• "Oh," Nathan nodded apologetically. "I'm sorry for bothering you."
• With that, he closed the door and left, suddenly having a bad premonition in his mind.
