The Love That Withered Over Time Chapter 1
On my 22nd birthday, my uncle Scott discovered my diary. After he found out about my secret love for him, he sent me overseas. He then spent hundreds of thousands, marrying the love of his life.
In the airport, my uncle Scott Miller warned me with a cold tone. "Don't ever harbor feelings you shouldn't have."
When I came back to the country with a little child in my arms later, he was shocked. "Yours?"
I nodded with a smile. "Yeah."

About a month after I gave birth, I was in an airplane. I was still feeling a little spaced out. I never thought I would have had the chance to return home after staying overseas for five years. Scott had told me to "never appear in front of him ever again." However, he was also the one who had personally bought me the air ticket.
We finally landed after transiting twice, just so I could come back to join his and Bethany White's wedding anniversary. When we were on the plane, Alanna had been sleeping soundly. But the moment got off the plane, she started throwing a tantrum.
"Mommy, my feet hurt." When I heard Alanna sobbing quietly, I quickly picked her up and walked over to the exit.
Once I was at the exit, I pulled out my phone and was going to get a cab. However, it started to ring as soon as I pulled it out. I looked at the string of familiar numbers that appeared on my screen and I wasn't sure if I should pick it up. In the end, I decided not to. However, the second call quickly came in. I let out a sigh and picked it up.
Scott's voice came from the other side instantly. Despite not speaking with him for a few years, I found his voice hadn't changed at all. "You're out of immigration? I've arranged for my personal assistant, Robin, to pick you up."
When Scott said those words, he sounded like he was conducting business. It was as if he was trying to avoid sounding familiar with me. I let out a bitter smile. "I can get a cab."
There was a short moment of silence. Scott probably didn't expect me to say that. He had taken extremely good care of me for a few years in the past, with people taking care of my every need. I never needed to take a cab.
After a brief pause, Scott calmly said, "I think it's better for Robin to come over. I've bought you something to use as a gift for your Aunt Bethany. You'll find it in the trunk. When you're over for a meal, you can take the gift with you."
