---- Chapter 168 Lance was going back to the Swain Manor to celebrate Anton's birthday the next day. That night, he had three dreams. In the first dream, he saw Shawn snatching Tara away from him. As he tried to look for Shawn, he stopped his car by the road and suddenly lost his memories of Tara. After that, the last thing he remembered about her was when she tried to seduce Jonah. He just watched as she showed up and left again. When Lance saw Tara again, two years had passed.

It turned out that the girlfriend that Soren had been doing his best to protect was none other than Tara. Lance was surprised to learn that. However, he just watched everything unfold like a movie, ignoring the jealousy in his heart. At that moment, he never would've thought that Tara was actually his girlfriend. When it was time for the event, that weird jealousy became stronger, and he didn't even know why it was happening . He just couldn't watch Tara being intimate with another man.

So, he went to the restroom to wash up. Then, he looked at his cold and aloof face in the mirror. ---- He tried to calm himself down. He felt like something was clutching his heart, which was filled with jealousy he didn't understand. Just as he was about to leave, he heard someone talking about something weird between him and Tara. After listening to the gossip, Lance told everyone that Tara was still his girlfriend. Then, he could clearly see how nervous Soren looked.

Soren leaned against Tara and held her in his arms. It was obvious that he was worried Tara would really return to Lance's side. Then, Tara said something that surprised Lance. He would truly like her personality. He suppressed the uncomfortable feeling deep within his heart. In the end, he didn't interfere with her relationship with Soren. When the event ended, he saw Shawn and Soren fighting, and Tara was so anxious that she was about to cry.

She kept trying to pull Soren away, and when she saw Lance showing up, she became even more anxious. Due to that, Lance felt worse. He wondered if he really was that despicable and terrifying. After all, why else would she be so afraid? Later, he found out that Shawn and Tara hada complicated past as well. Then, Lance became confused , wondering why she had a past with each of them. Despite that, he didn't look further into it, let alone stand ---- between Soren and Tara.

One day, Lance was working on his art, and a cloth was suddenly blown away. He turned to the painting that was revealed and suddenly felt his heart ache for some reason. It felt as if it was trying its best to remind him of something important. While his memories were in a mess, Lance couldn't sleep or eat well at all. Then, when he heard about Soren and Tara's wedding, he couldn't sleep anymore. On the night before the wedding, Lance remembered everything about Tara, and his eyes turned red.

He was hit with a huge wave of anger and sadness, and his heart ached terribly. He went to the wedding and looked for Tara. Then, they talked non-stop as great friends.

When it was time to leave, Lance's eyes turned red once more due to the extreme agony in his heart. He thought it was unfair. After all, he was Tara's actual boyfriend, and he never said he would break up with her in the past. ---- After half a month, Lance continued working hard, and he seemed better than before. He was so busy that he didn't have the time to entertain his parents , who were telling him to get married soon. He also silently kept track of Tara in the meantime.

When he found out that Tara was unhappy in her marriage, he tried to call Soren. However , Soren had blocked both of his contact numbers. Realizing that, Lance asked his secretary, Jeremy Banner, for his phone. However, Jeremy said something that woke Lance up. "Why do you want to interfere, Mr. Swain? Don't you want to see Mr. Farrell break up with his wife?" The feelings Lance had finally suppressed flooded him again.

When news of Tara and Soren's divorce got out, Lance immediately went looking for her. However , she just said she was exhausted and asked him to leave her alone. Her words were like a pail of cold water dumped over him. He was shut out of her house with the gift he had brought for her. Even though she had rejected him, he still never gave up. He would also see Shawn sometimes , and they only saw each other as love rivals. Meanwhile, Tara ignored them both.

Since they would ---- always find her no matter where she moved, she just pretended they didn't exist. Instead, she just focused on her work and did everything she had to do. Although Lance and Shawn kept their eyes on her, Jonah still managed to win her heart in two and a half years without them realizing it. Then, Lance just watched as she married Jonah, and they lived a happy life together. Meanwhile , Lance never got married throughout his life.

After that dream ended, Lance had another dream. He went back to the day when Soren and Tara first got married and saw how Soren had changed .

Soon, a familiar sight showed up in front of him once more. In this dream, he had chased Tara out of the villa, not knowing that it was all part of Stella's devious plan. When Jonah returned and asked about it, he didn't believe what Lance had said. Instead, he checked the surveillance ---- footage and dug out the truth.

Jonah managed to clear Tara's name and fired Stella that night. No matter how much Stella cried, Jonah was indifferent. He gave her two choices. First, she could either leave on her own in the rain, or he would get the guard to kick her out. Seeing how there was no turning back, Stella had no choice but to leave the villa like Tara had previously done. However, this time, Stella was crying as she left. After that incident, Jonah didn't speak to Lance anymore.

Then, they all left the entertainment industry and returned to their own respective businesses. After two more years, Lance heard that Jonah was about to get married, which stunned him. After all, Jonah never really cared about relationships previously , and Lance couldn't believe that he was really about to get married.
