Past Love's Expiry Date

He grows up with Sabrina Reed, who used to be his brother's fiancée. He's always respected her as his future sister-in-law.

But after his brother's untimely death, she slowly becomes the woman who holds his heart. He thinks she'll eventually marry him… until she shows up with her hand in another man's.

She says, "I'm getting married. From today onward, you can only think of me as your sister!"

"Mr. Scott, I've made up my mind. I'm going to Euressa to pursue my career."

On the other end of the phone, Jefferson Scott was all smiles. "You should've done this sooner. With your talent, if you'd come earlier, you'd definitely be an internationally renowned photographer by now."

Hendrix Gorman smiled politely. "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Scott."

"When are you planning to come?"

Hendrix thought for a moment before responding, "Probably in about two weeks. I still have some things to wrap up here."

"Alright. You know, Nicholas passed away early. Sabrina has been looking after you for all these years. She's been incredible to you. Now that you're planning to settle abroad, you should have a proper talk with her."

Unfortunately, Nicholas had passed away at a young age, and their engagement had never been fulfilled.

All these years, it had been just Hendrix and Sabrina growing up together.

Even the elders had joked, "Why are you two always sticking together? People might start thinking something's going on."

Sabrina had asked, "What would they think?"

"They'd think you two are a couple!"

Sabrina had looked at Hendrix with that gentle smile on her lips just like now and replied, "Let them think whatever they want."

Back then, Hendrix had felt a mix of confusion and surprise. But when he had looked into Sabrina's warm and loving eyes, his face had turned slightly red.

People lived in moments. And that moment had become the happiest of his life.

He had been waiting for Sabrina to confess to him so he could marry her in the grandest ceremony without hesitation.

But as he waited, what he got was her eyes looking toward another man.

Rowan Shepard was her secretary.

At the time, Sabrina had laid several resumes in front of Hendrix and said, "Hendrix, help me pick one."

Hendrix had been hesitant. "I'm not good at this. You should let HR handle this."

But Sabrina had insisted, "My secretary
