Chapter 4942
Yehua had even made him promises. She said that if she ever married him, she wouldn’t hand all her money to her parents the way she did now.
“When I marry, my husband and my own family come first,” she’d told him. “I’ll just give my parents a small gift during holidays, nothing more.”
She’d urged him to stop letting his relatives from his hometown drain him dry — to stop taking responsibility for everyone’s needs.
“They only care about appearances,” she’d said. “You deserve to live your own life, not theirs.”
Joaquin had listened, half-drunk and half-lost. He’d told her he couldn’t let go of Aitana — that he’d loved her for years, waited for her for years, and finally had the courage to confess. How could he give up now, just because she’d rejected him a few times?
