Chapter 1955

In that moment, the room seemed to fall into a hushed stillness, with only the sound of Landon’'s heartbeat echoing in his ears.The pages of this diary had turned yellow; Angelina must have used it for years.

With fingers wracked by tremors, Landon carefully opened the diary. Angelina's lack of formal education was evident, yet herhandwriting surprised him. It was neat and firm, almost masculine, mirroring his own.

Apang of bittersweet understanding shot through him. His father had taught him to write, and Angelina, ever-present by his side,had absorbed it all. More accurately, her life revolved around him, and this unconscious mimicry was a testament to thatdevotion.

The diary wasn't a daily record but a collection of moments Angelina deemed precious. One entry read, "Went to Mr. Bill's funeraltoday with Mr. Landon. Now that he's gone, the burden of the family falls on Mr. Landon's shoulders. The road ahead won't beeasy, but he doesn't have to face it alone. I'm here. Mr. Bill, rest easy. Even if the sky falls, I'll always protect Mr. Landon."

Another entry spoke in a lighter mood. "Mr. Landon's been acting strangely lately. Uncharacteristically cheerful during meals.Could he be seeing someone special? | wonder who unlocked the door to his guarded heart. I'd love to meet her."novelbin

One entry gushed about Lauren. "Ms. Lauren is such a charming lady. Mr. Landon has impeccable taste!"

Another entry read, "Mr. Landon, this marks our 14th New Year together. I've never experienced a family reunion, but now thatyou have Madam Lauren, this occasion must hold special significance for you. For me, it remains the same."

"Mr. Landon, the moon is particularly beautiful tonight. It reflects the love that I'll never confess to you."

Landon's hands trembled as he held the diary, tears welling in his eyes, one eventually slipping between the lines of writing,staining the page with his pain.

An old newspaper clipping, dated ten years prior, caught his attention, the image blurred by tears. It depicted the Harper familyvisiting Bill's grave.

In the photograph, Landon exuded confidence, handsomeness, and charm as he followed behind Cornelius, bearing the air ofthe head of the household. Close behind him trailed Angelina, dressed in a black bodyguard uniform, her high ponytail andyouthful features contrasting with Landon's mature demeanor.

Though the photo was slightly blurred, Angelina's gaze fixed on Landon's back shone with brightness and warmth.She had watched over him day and night, a silent guardian, even though her feelings remained unreciprocated.

"Today, you casually asked if | liked anyone. You said to let you know so you could check him out. Only God knows how my heartraced at that moment."

“You were always worried I'd become an old spinster if | kept following you around. You asked if | ever thought about gettingmarried. Truthfully, | have—I've been married to you in my heart all along.”

"Mr. Landon, I have only one wish in this life—to see you truly happy. Please don't let me down."

Clutching the diary tightly, Landon sank to his knees, tears streaming down his face. What began as sobs soon escalated intoheart-wrenching wails. Angelina had loved him for years, and he, a blind fool, had never noticed.

He loved Lauren deeply, so he understood the pain of unrequited love.

And yet, Angelina had endured this pain silently, standing by his side as he loved another. How could she not have felt hurt? Whywould she continue to offer her unwavering loyalty despite the constant ache in her heart?

Landon couldn't believe how stubborn Angelina was. What did he do to deserve someone so selfless?"If there is another life..." he choked out between sobs.If there was an afterlife, he desperately wished Angelina could be reborn as his sister, someone he could protect and cherish.

He swore to his beloved Angelina, his voice thick with emotion, that they would meet again, somehow, some way, in a differentlife.

Landon managed to gather Angelina's things with Jasper and Jordan's help.

Only two boxes were filled with simple belongings, a testament to her unassuming life. Like Angelina herself, these boxes couldeasily disappear from his life, leaving a gaping hole in their wake.

The pink diary was the only item Landon held close, a precious link to the woman he had failed to see.

The last photo in the album was a photo of Lauren taking a picture with him in a dog suit and Angelina in a rabbit suit.They had no proper picture together.

What a shame.

Then, Jasper's phone rang. It was Rory. "Mr. Jasper, is Mr. Landon with you?" Rory sounded anxious.

"Yes, I'm with Landon. What the matter?"

"Mr. Javier came to the hospital to visit Ms. Lauren. He spoke too hastily and informed her about Angelina's passing.""What?" Jasper's eyes blazed with anger. "I've warned him countless times. How could he be so careless?"

Silence enveloped the car as Landon vaguely registered Rory's voice on the phone, his heart twisting with sorrow.
