The new house Isabella and Max moved into was located in a recently developed neighborhood, where only a few families had settled in so far. The whole area was quiet—too quiet. Only the sound of the wind rustling through the thick trees and the faint noise of distant engines broke the silence.

That night, Isabella stood near the bedroom window, her eyes fixed on the glowing moon and the scattered stars above. Her gaze soon turned empty as her thoughts spiraled back to her marriage.

“Dear God, why does my life have to be this complicated? Marriage used to mean everything to me—something sacred and real. Now it’s just an act. What did I do wrong? Am I really that terrible?” Isabella thought bitterly.

A sudden knock on the door snapped her out of her thoughts. She quickly opened it, revealing Max standing there, holding a box of tea bags that hadn’t been brewed yet.

    Once they arrived home, Jason took a shower while Adeline prepared clothes for him.That night, they had dinner together, chatting lightly over the meal. After finishing, they both went back to their bedroom. Adeline picked one of her thick books from her collection and settled on the bed, leaning comfortably against the headboard.Jason, however, couldn’t help but think about Andrew and Odette. Curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to ask Adeline.“Sweetheart?” Jason called, lying down on his stomach beside her.“Hmm? Yes?” Adeline replied.“Does Odette… have a boyfriend?” Jason asked. Adeline paused and glanced at him, her eyes narrowing slightly.

    Odette excused herself to the kitchen, hoping a little food could help ease her sadness. She rummaged through the fridge, filling her arms with snacks and leftovers.“Miss Odette, let me help you,” the maid said, approaching her.“No, thank you, Auntie. I can manage,” Odette replied with a small smile, carefully walking back to her room, making sure none of the food she carried fell.“Odette… why are you bringing so much food?” Adeline asked, her tone curious.“I’m starving! Let’s eat,” Odette said cheerfully, shutting the bedroom door behind her. She set all the food on the bed.“Let’s eat on the floor; your bed will get dirty otherwise,” Adeline sugges

    The next morning, Adeline sat in the car as Jason drove her to Odette’s house. He would then continue on to work at his office.

It seemed she was worried, thinking about her only friend.“Darling… are you feeling unwell?” Jason asked gently, touching her cheek.“Hmm… no, I’m fine,” Adeline replied softly.“But you don’t look well. Wouldn’t it be better if you stayed home?” he pressed, concern furrowing his brow.“No, Jason, I’m fine! I need to see Odette—she seems to be having some trouble. She suddenly told me yesterday that she plans to stay in Japan permanently,” Adeline explained.

    Will walked side by side with Odette toward the back of the vacant lot.The ground beneath their feet was still covered with rough gravel. Beyond the empty land, a plantation came into view—lush plants and tall trees growing thick and shady. They walked through it for about five minutes.Then, suddenly—A garden appeared before them.It was breathtakingly beautiful and soothing to the eyes. A gentle stream flowed through the center of the garden, its soft rippling sound filling the air. Odette’s eyes widened in awe.“Wow… this is so beautiful,” she said. “How did you even find a place like this?”Will smiled broadly.“Back then, every time we finished playing basketball, Jason, Andrew, and I would look for somewhere quiet to relax. That’s how we found this place. Sometimes, after practice, we’d come here.”The moment she heard Andrew’s name, Odette&rsq
