On Valentine’s Day, Rich Girl Rejects Poor Guy, She Appears on His Doorstep Years Later – Story of the Day

Simon proposed to his girlfriend on Valentine’s Day, but she ran away, never to see him again. Years later, there was a knock on his door, and a homeless woman asked for help before fainting. He recognized her immediately and finally asked why she rejected him. The truth was not what he imagined.
