I asked my boyfriend to marry me 101 times, and he finally said yes, and then he did this after he got married.
I cherished Gideon more than anything. I proposed to him a hundred times just to marry him. As I was about to propose for the 101st time, Gideon was suddenly kidnapped.
In my desperate attempt to save him, I took a fatal blow that was meant for him.
When I awoke from a coma, Gideon willingly put on the wedding ring I had prepared. “Adeline, let’s get married? From that moment, I became the envy of everyone, Mrs. Gideon.
After our marriage, Gideon’s behavior didn’t change. He brought countless women home, but I didn’t mind, I even stood by and opened small
umbrellas for them.
Outsiders thought I was pitiable, unwilling to let go of the luxury and wealth Gideon provided,
But no one knew that my relentless pursuit to marry Gideon was never about him or his money. It was for the heart beating in his chest.
I watched the drunken, sleeping Gideon and placed my hand over his beating heart. “Gideon, you must live a long and healthy life”

A soft, melodious sound came from the guest room. I looked at the closed door, unable to recall how many women Gideon had brought back.
Since he agreed to my 101st proposal, aside from a brief period of being a faithful husband shortly after marriage, he quickly reverted to his old ways.
His handsome demeanor remained unchanged. An hour later, the noise from the room finally ceased. Following his usual habit, I opened the door and offered a glass of freshly poured red wine.
Gideon watched me walk in calmly, a satisfied smile on his face. He pulled me onto the bed where he had just been with another woman, holding me tightly in his arms.
He gently tapped my nose with his finger and said, “Adeline, you are the most understanding”
“Marrying you was indeed the right decision.” He drank the wine in one gulp and went into the bathroom to freshen up, leaving the woman and me staring at each other.
Once the bathroom door closed, I discreetly rubbed my nose where Gideon had touched. The woman Gideon chose this time was different from the usual ones. She was pure, with a face so fair it seemed to glow.
Seeing my indifferent reaction to my husband’s betrayal, she boldly flaunted her good figure in front of me.
Despite her innocent appearance, her eyes were full of mockery and disdain. “You’re the ‘pathetic‘ Mrs. Gideon everyone talks about.”
In a lowered voice, she revealed, “I’ve been with Gideon for two months. He often tells me he likes me very much. If he weren’t already married, he would definitely marry me.”
Worried about Gideon overhearing, she leaned closer and whispered in my ear, “I advise you to leave Gideon soon, or I won’t let you have an easy time.”
Before I could respond to this familiar threat, the bathroom suddenly went quiet.
When Gideon emerged with a towel wrapped around his waist, she suddenly fell backward, hitting the floor hard. Before he could help her up, she tearfully accused, “Gideon, she hit me!”
Pointing at me, she continued, “She threatened me to leave you, or she wouldn’t let me go easily.” Watching this scene, I found it amusing. Such poor tactics, Gideon wouldn’t fall for it. But this time, Gideon showed a worry I had never seen before. He nervously held the woman in his
arms.
“Cora, where does it hurt? Do you need a doctor?” Gideon looked at me standing emotionlessly and frowned, “Adeline, you pushed Cora, Apologize to her now.”

I glanced at Cora’s smug expression in his arms and remained unmoved. Seeing this, Gideon became furious, “Didn’t you hear me? Apologize now!” Perhaps sensing my unyielding attitude was different than usual, despite his repeated orders, I remained unmoved.
Suddenly, Gideon clutched his chest, breathing heavily. This sudden change left Cora bewildered.
Seeing this, I immediately took out the medicine I always carried, pushed Cora away, and forced the medicine into Gideon’s mouth. Listening to his gradually calming breath, I glanced at the surgical scar on his chest and said to Cora, “Ms. Lin, I’m sorry.”
