Welcome Party for My Wife's First Love

Louisa's first love, Simon, had returned to the country, and our old classmates organized a welcome dinner for him. He had once left due to financial issues, but now, during the gathering, he asked Louisa publicly, "Am I now qualified to stand by your side?" Louisa fell silent. Everyone thought he was joking, but then she firmly said, "You’ve always been my only choice."

In the sudden hush that followed, I was the first to raise my glass and toast them. Simon's gaze toward Louisa was filled with a love that had been pent up for five years. They were once the couple everyone in school envied.
