Chapter 255
William remembered all those moments they had once shared, what he couldn’t change was the fact that he no longer loved Rachel. Rachel actually tell a trace of regret,
it will still loved her now, and if all of this had truly been for her, she would’ve been over the morn with joy. But right now, everything he did just made het leel sick. I felt take and utterly repulsive
She was certain William must be feeling just as miserablile,
After all, pretending to be in love with someone you didn’t care abia and putting in all that time and effort for these so–called surprises must’ve been exhausting.
William smiled in satisfaction. He then turned to her and asked, “Do you like it?”
Rachel forced a stiff smile. “I do.”
William took her hand and led her to the window. The sky outside had already turned dark Standing beside her, William suddenly snapped his fingers.
A thunderous boom echoed outside, making Rachel flinch. But before she could even react, dazzling fireworks burst open in the night sky like blooming flowers.
Colorful sparks lit up the darkness and were reflected on Rachel’s face.
She instinctively covered her mouth while watching those beautiful displays as they exploded, one after another
William signed, “There’s an even better one coming
Rachel looked at him in confusion.
”
Another loud bang sounded in the sky. William patted her shoulder and pointed upward, signaling her to look again. Rachel lifted her gaze just in time to see the fireworks bloom into glowing words written in the air.
“Rachel, may you always be safe and happy.”
It wasn’t ‘I love you‘, but ‘May you always be safe and happy
Rachel’s smile froze.
Of course, he was probably worried Samantha might see this.
William rested his hand on her shoulder and asked, “Do you like it? Did you have a good time tonight?”
Rachel felt her throat dry up. She opened her mouth and finally squeezed out two words. “I did.”
William slowly leaned in toward her. His warm breath brushed against her cheek, Rachel knew exactly what he was trying to do.
Behind them, a few watters murmured in envy.
“I’m so jealous of Mrs. Lewis.”
“Right? Mr. Lewis is not just handsome, but he’s still doing romantic things after seven years of marriage. Most guys bother by now.”
“Exactly. You can’t find a husband like Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Lewis is really blessed.”
“I remember when they got married, Mr. Lewis personally designed an insanely expensive wedding dress for her.”
“Ugh, don’t remind me. My husband feels like absolute trash in comparison.”
But Rachel didn’t feel touched at all. The admiring words from outsiders were like salt on an open wound.

The most dangerous kind of betrayal wasn’t the blatant, shameles kind. It was when the love was already gone, but the person still acted like they were pouring their whole heart out to you.
It was this that cut the deepest.
Just as William’s lips were about to meet hers, Rachel suddenly felther stomach churn violently. The next second, she pushed him away and rushed to the nearby trash bin, retching.
Startled, William quickly ran to her side. Pante flashed in his eyes as he signed frantically. “Rachel, what’s wrong? Are you feeling sick?”
Rachel had no idea what was happening either. The moment the image of William kissing her flashed through her mind, she felt physically nauseated.
But she had eaten barely anything all day. There was nothing to throw up. She just dry–heaved a few times.
She waved him off. “It’s nothing.”
Nearby, the staff began whispering and speculating. “Mrs. Lewis vomiting. Could she be pregnant?” that pretty normal? They’ve been married seven years, Having a baby now would make sense.” “I’m already curious who the baby would look like. Mr. Lewis or Mrs. Lewis? They’re both gorgeous.” “No doubt about it. Any kid of theirs is going to be stunning.”
