Chapter 877
Carrie bit her lip, her brows furrowing as she softly recounted, “Two years ago, one night, I couldn’t
sleep and found myself wandering around the house. I saw Annie entering Justin’s room alone. Back
then, Justin wasn’t fond of her, and they rarely shared the bed. Most of the time, they slept in separate
rooms. The three years Annie spent married to Justin were incredibly difficult. I could see that she
loved him deeply but was too afraid to approach him. Annie could only silently watch over him. During
quiet nights when Justin was away, she would sometimes lie on his bed for a while, secretly wear his
shirts, and spray his cologne. However, she never let him find out about all of this. Annie truly loved
Justin. She loved him so humbly Sometimes, I feel heartbroken for her.”
Even Ryan found it difficult to listen to this, feeling Be’s pain was
undeserved.

Perhaps the most agonizing thing was not when two people drifte apart, but having the person you love
deeply within reach, yet knowing you could never truly have them.
“That night, I saw Annie enter Justin’s bedroom. Soon after, Justin came home,pletely drunk and
reeking of alcohol. His face was
flushed like he had a fever.”
Ryan seemed to remember the asion. It was the anniversary of
Justin’s mother’s death, and he had organized a gathering with
friends to help Justin cope.
The night was chaotic, and Justin must have had numerous drinks,
Later, Ryan escorted Justin back to Tideview Manor. Justin was then helped into the house by the
housekeeper. Ryan had no clue about what happened after that.
“And then?” Ryan hurriedly asked.
“And then… Justin headed back to his room, and for the entire night, neither he nor Annie came out. I
got worried and curious. So, I pushed the door and walked in. Through the bedroom door, I heard…
I…”
Carrie bit her lip, her face flushing as if she were burning up, too
embarrassed to continue.
Ryan’s pupils contracted gradually, shocked and speechless.
So, they had already slept together once while they were still married?
But his clueless best friend, who was too drunk to remember anything, had no recollection of sleeping
with his own wife?!
Damn… Men really could not remember anything after they were do
with their business, huh?
“Have you not mentioned this to Justin in the past two years?” Ryan
asked.
“How could I? Besides, Annie obviously didn’t want Justin to find out,” Carrie replied.
“How would you know? If you had told Justin, maybe he would have treated Be better! After all, they
had already been intimate!” Ryan’s
tone grew a bit harsh, with a hint of urgency in his voice.
Carrie shrugged with a hint of fear in her eyes.
Ryan quickly pulled her into an embrace, gently patting her back as he apologized. “I’m sorry… I
shouldn’t have spoken to you like that. I was just impatient. I just really hoped they could get back
together.”
“At that time, Annie was always careful around Justin. She knew he wasn’t fond of her and even
despised her… She was afraid that if he found out that they had slept together, he would resent her
even
more, thinking she took advantage of him.”
With tears welling up in her eyes, Carrie continued, “So… I had no choice but to help Annie keep this
secret. Ryan, do you think I did something wrong?”
“No, no… Carrie, you did nothing wrong. You just wanted the best for
Be.”
Kissing Carrie’s ear gently, Ryan spoke with a voice filled with resentment toward Justin. “The one
who’s in the wrong here is Justin. He’s made such a big mistake! He took advantage of a
without even realizing it.”
“Is there anything else that I can do? I really want Justin and Annie to reconcile, too.” Carrie sighed
sincerely.
“And they will. They’re bound to reconcile.”
Ryan sighed, though heckedplete confidence. “I believe that
deep down, Justin still holds an important ce in Be’s heart.
They’ll find their way back to each other eventually.”
