Watching their backs as they laughed and left, I was stunned. I didn't even notice the lunchbox in my hand had fallen.
Clarice always had a weak stomach. To make her comfortable, I rented an apartment near her office just to cook for her.
I never thought she looked down on me so much in her heart.
In my previous life, I always believed I wasn't loved because I wasn't doing enough.
I tried even harder to please her. On our wedding anniversary, I started planning over a month in advance, hoping to surprise her.
Yet, when I got into that car accident, I saw her rushing to take another man to the hospital.
At that moment, I felt utterly hopeless.
I suddenly realized that my decades of devotion to her had been for nothing.
In my previous life, Clarice only treated me kindly in front of my parents.
Maybe it was because she felt grateful to them for helping her family keep their business.
Whenever she was around my parents, she would always act very gentle and considerate.
And only in those moments could I briefly feel Clarice's tenderness.
I never truly knew what I meant to her.
I felt she might have seen our marriage as just a way to repay a debt and fulfill her mother's last wishes.
I also understood that love and gratitude were two very different things.
Just then, the voice on the phone spoke again.
"Mr. Moreno? Are you still there? How would you like us to handle the flower situation?"
Snapping back to reality, I steadied my emotions.
"If the flowers aren't available, don't worry about it. Just cancel the order for me."
In my past life, I had nearly blown half a year's worth of living expenses on this proposal.
I opened the shopping app and saw that the luxury handbag I had bought for her was en route.
Without hesitation, I canceled the order and booked a ticket to Azuria.
Messages of support from my fans flooded the livestream chat.
[Is the streamer about to log off and go confess? Good luck with your confession, streamer!]
Every day, the fans who accompanied me would hear nothing but gaming and my love for Clarice.
This proposal had been planned for a long time with my fans' help and ideas.
However, what I said next caught them all by surprise.
"I'm not going to confess anymore. Does anyone here have any connections with pro clubs in Azuria? I'd appreciate any recommendations.
"I might stop streaming for a while. I'll be back once I'm settled in Azuria. Guys, wait for me!"
