Lost to Cherry Trees and the Wrong Man Chapter 8
Lila's POVOne year passed by quickly.I learned to recognize quite a lot of words. Marissa taught me how to write my name and Cyrus's. She said, "These are the two most important names in your life."I made a lot of new friends.Mike would take me to the park to feed pigeons. George taught me how to bake.

He went forward, about to grab me."You used to look forward to marrying me every single day! It's only been half a month and yet you've changed. Even a lost dog who's been gone for

He will be able to spend more time with you for a long time now!"I excitedly jumped off the swing with the unfinished cherry bracelet in my hand.When I saw a figure coming over, I excitedly ran over and hugged him. "You're back!"He caught hold of me and patted me on my head gently.Just when I was about to hand him the bracelet, I looked up, only to be caught off guard.The man in front of me was wearing the black suit that Angelo would usually wear, but he was not Angelo.I blinked in confusion as the bracelet fell to the ground. I asked in bafflement, "W-Who are you?"…As the storm went on, rain hitting on the glass windows, Cyrus sat on the leather couch looking at me with a warm gaze.He chuckled. "I see. There I was, still wondering why there was no information of a Lila in the Hayes family. I know that Valentina Hayes, the one that I was supposed to marry,

He was afraid it might get dirty."His men were secretly teasing him.
