When Eliana agreed, Nathan’s face darkened in an instant.
He reached out, gripped her arm tightly, and said earnestly. “Eliana, you really don’t have to agree to this.

“He has nothing to do with you anymore. If you miss Samuel, we can fight Logan in court for custody, but you can’t let him use the kid to control you.”
As Nathan spoke, his hand around Eliana’s wrist was shaking.
He knew he ought to respect Eliana and give her the freedom she deserved, but watching her get ready to leave with Logan, Nathan’s heart clenched instinctively. He couldn’t help the surge of panic that hit him.
He’d spent ten long years without her. There was no way he could let her slip away a second time.
Seeing Nathan like this, Eliana felt bad for him at heart.
She reached out and gripped Nathan’s hand in return, her voice earnest. “Do you trust me?”
Nathan took a deep breath and nodded. “I trust you, but I don’t trust him.”
Eliana couldn’t help but smile. She looked at him seriously and said, “I promise you, I won’t let him get to me. I just want to talk things through with him, once and for all.
“Whether it’s about the past or Samuel, after this conversation, there will be nothing left between him and me.
“Can you trust me?”
Nathan looked at her intently, then nodded. “I trust you.
“I’ll wait for you here. When you get back, we’ll pick out the wedding dress together.”
Eliana nodded, then stood on her tiptoes and kissed Nathan softly on the lips. “Wait for me, okay?”
Nathan finally smiled, but he still teased. “Hurry up, okay? I don’t have much patience.”
Eliana couldn’t help but laugh. “I get it.”
With that, she looked over at Logan. “Let’s go. We can talk somewhere private.”
Logan was a little dazed, and it wasn’t until Eliana called his name that he came to his senses.
Watching Eliana kiss Nathan just now, Logan felt awful. He was jealous, his face contorting with bitterness.
But he knew he had no right to say anything, so he just forced a pale smile. “Okay”
As he spoke, Logan instinctively reached out to help Eliana, but she pulled away without a second thought and walked on

Logan’s eyes were clouded with sadness, but all he could do was trail after her.
In the bridal shop’s lounge, Eliana sat down across from Logan, her wedding dress shimmering.
From the moment she took her seat, Logan couldn’t tear his eyes away from her.

He’d never imagined Eliana could look this breathtaking in a wedding dress, and the first time she ever wore one, it was for another guy.
He’d barely paid attention to Eliana in all their six years together, but it had never crossed his mind that she’d end up marrying someone else.
Only now, as he saw her dressed up for another man, did it finally dawn on him just how beautiful and extraordinary the woman he had once called his wife truly was.
But it was too late.
Logan took a deep breath, unable to hold back as he looked at her and said with genuine emotion, “You look beautiful today.”
Eliana was a little taken aback by his words, but she responded with quiet composure, “Thank you.”
The second she spoke these words, Logan’s heart plummeted like a stone.
He knew if Eliana still had any feelings for him, even just a little, she wouldn’t have replied to him like that.
But now, she was calm and polite, so distant it was written all over her. She really didn’t care about him anymore.
Because she didn’t care, his words didn’t mean a thing to her now.
That thought made him feel uncomfortable, but he knew he’d lost the right even to look upset.
Logan clenched his fists, his eyes locked on Eliana as he said sincerely, “I’m sorry, Eliana. It took me all these years to finally see the truth about what happened back then. I just found out it was you who risked everything to save me.
“All this time, I thought it was Isabella and always sided with her. Only now do I realize how much I truly owe you.
“I know I failed you as a husband for so many years, and I get that I don’t deserve your forgiveness. But I know I messed up. Can you give me one more chance? For Samuel’s sake. He deserves a real family.”
As Logan spoke, he saw Eliana start to say something, and his eyes filled with anxious dread. He was terrified she was about to reject him.
He cut in quickly, his voice tinged with urgency. “Wait, just hear me out before you say no, okay?
“I know you’ve completely lost faith in Samuel and me. That’s why you were so determined to get a divorce, and even gave up on Samuel, too.
“But ever since Samuel was born, I’ve seen how much he means to you. I know you could never truly let him go.
“This is all on me. Samuel only said those hurtful things because he learned them from me. But no kid in the world doesn’t love their mom. He’s been asking to see you every single day. He still loves you, Eliana.
“So, could you give us another chance, for Samuel’s sake?”
As Logan spoke, he kept his head down, too ashamed to meet Eliana’s eyes.
He knew just how miserable and pathetic he looked right now.
He was actually trying to use Samuel to hold onto her. He thought, ‘How despicable I am!
But right now, this was the only move he had left.

Without Samuel, he had no idea what else he could say to convince her to stay in this marriage.

He didn’t want to admit it, but the truth was, there was nothing about this marriage worth cherishing anymore for Eliana.
He wanted to make things right. At this moment, Logan was genuinely sincere. He truly wished Eliana would come back to him, so he could finally make up for all the hurt he’d caused her over the years.
But what scared him most was that he might not even get the chance to make amends.
After he finished speaking, Logan sat in silence, his nerves stretched taut, as if he were waiting for a judgment to be handed down upon him.
Hearing Logan’s words, Eliana couldn’t help but find it a little funny.
Then, she said earnestly, “Logan, I’m getting married. I’m in love with my fiancé. There’s no going back for us.
“Since you’re here, you can bring Samuel to the wedding.”
Eliana gave a small, genuine smile of relief. “Honestly, you don’t need to do this. You don’t need to feel guilty, and I don’t hate you. I just think everything turned out just right.
“Our marriage didn’t work out, but it’s because of that failure that I realized how amazing Nathan truly is.
“He waited ten years for me. This time, no matter what, I won’t let him down.”
