What's Done Is Done, What's Past Is Past

This was the tenth year of my pursuit of Victoria Anderson.

Despite finally marrying her and having a daughter, Daisy.

There has never been a place for me in her heart.

When I called, begging her to come back for Daisy's birthday.

She was at a restaurant, celebrating with her unforgettable first love, David Garcia, and his child.

She even coldly told me, "I've already married you, you got what you wanted. Why do you keep bothering me?"

What she didn't know was that this would be my last chance to celebrate Daisy's birthday.

After this, I would be completely erased by the system.

Today was the last day of my pursuit of Victoria.

And it's also Daisy's fifth birthday.

With excitement, she asked me if her mom would come back today.

In a daze, I remembered Daisy's last birthday.

That year, she promised me in person that she would return.

I prepared everything early in the morning.

But Daisy and I waited from day to night, interpreting every sound as a sign of her return. We lit all the birthday candles but never saw her.

Afterwards, I wanted to ask her.

But Victoria, on the phone, casually said, "So what? If you can't wait, then don't. Don't you understand that? Am I the one who made you wait? If you're waiting, that's your own stupidity."

Ten years ago, I was pulled into this novel world by a system, and only by successfully winning over Victoria could I leave this world; otherwise, I would be erased.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

I married Victoria as I wished, and we had a lovely daughter, Daisy Louis.

Over the years, I gradually fell in love with her, but she never felt anything for me.

She cast me aside like an old cloth, and even looked down on Daisy.

In Daisy's five years of life, she never celebrated a single birthday for her, simply because Daisy's birthday happened to fall on the same day as her unrequited love, David.

She believed it was a cruel twist of fate, that the universe intended to humiliate her by making her give birth to Daisy on that day, reminding her that she couldn't marry the man she truly loved.

She hated me.

She hated that I had used every means to be with her, binding her to a life with a child.

Victoria and I grew up together as childhood friends.

But like many stories, childhood affection couldn't compete with a sudden love.

During her school years, the aloof David bloomed gently in her heart.

As a pursuer, I watched helplessly as Victoria fell deeper and deeper for someone else.

However, Victoria's family background wasn't great, and David never ended up with her.

After graduation, David was pursued by a wealthy foreign woman and moved abroad.

Victoria had tried to keep him, but he left decisively.

After that, she worked hard, and I took my chance to support her through those tough years. Together, we built our lives from scratch, reaching the peak of success.

Even though I was always by her side, she still didn't like me, didn't want to be with me.

It was only after an accidental encounter during ...
