After that night, Julian never went to see Vanessa again.

Vanessa left a week later, without a word to anyone. Even Evelyn was oblivious, and she cried for days because of it, her eyes red and swollen. This time, she didn't even know where Vanessa had gone, or where she was.

Adrian wanted to comfort her, but found himself at a loss for words.

After some inquiries, they learned that Vanessa had likely left with Harvey. They didn't know much about the man, only that he was Rose's cousin and came

    They were set to leave at dawn, but Vanessa hadn't returned all night.Cameron had called countless times, but there was no word from her even in the early hours. Vanessa wasn't picking up.Left with no choice, he managed to get Adrian's number. It was an ungodly hour to call, but fortunately, Adrian was still awake."Who is this?" His voice was slurred, hoarse with drink, and a woman's murmur could be heard beside him.Cameron's tone was grave. "Mr. Voss, it's me. Did you take Vanessa? She hasn't been back all night, and we have an early flight tomorrow, so...""Who?"Adrian shoved the woman off him, fastening the buttons on his shirt. "Who did you say was missing? Vanessa was perfectly fine with you; how could she vanish? Is this how you look after her?""I'm sorry, but Mr. Voss, I called you to resolve a situation, not to argue." Cameron, only a few years Adrian's senior, found his childish impulsiveness utterly exasperating.By comparison, even Harvey was far more mature.Adrian s

    With dawn marking her departure from M City, Vanessa returned to the hospital before nightfall, specifically to see Evelyn.Her condition had deteriorated severely. What began as an old ailment, prompting her admission for treatment at Adrian's urging, unexpectedly revealed a far more serious problem during her stay.Carrying her favorite lilies, Vanessa found her way to the hospital room door.Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this would be the last time she saw Evelyn. Once she returned to Dublin, she would never come back to the country.Arriving at the door, she noticed it wasn't fully closed. A sliver of light peeked through, suggesting someone else was inside. Vanessa paused, intending to wait, then heard Evelyn's cough. Evelyn sat up, leaning on the bed's edge, tears in her eyes, looking towards her husband.“I just want my Vanessa. Give Vanessa back to me.” Her hand was weak, but she tried to tug at Cameron’s clothes. He caught her hand, holding it gently.A layer of sorro

    A force from behind seized Adrian, dragging him back and pushing him away. In the evening breeze, bathed in the setting sun, Vanessa gently helped Cameron, patting his back with a tender heart to ease his breathing. Her gaze, fixed on Adrian, was filled with resentment."What do you think you're doing? Trying to kill someone?"Adrian casually brushed dust from his sleeve, unfazed. "He dared to trick you into marriage, so I'll kill him. What's wrong with that?"He said it with absolute righteousness.Vanessa was furious, her heart pounding erratically with anger. "My marriage to him is my business. What does it have to do with you? Who do you think you are to me? Don't be so conceited!"Supporting Cameron, Vanessa turned to him, her voice soft. "Let's go. Ignore him.""Vanessa, you can't leave. You're coming home with me." Adrian took two steps forward, reaching for Vanessa. But this time, Cameron was no longer frail; he shielded Vanessa behind him, protecting her fiercely.Adrian drop

    The evening light, a hazy, golden filter, enveloped the hotel terrace. It bathed Cameron, merging with his sickly complexion, yet paradoxically making his gaze appear even more resolute.Adrian, however, was at a loss. "Vanessa was with Julian, and they had a child. She can't have kids now. There are plenty of better women in the world; why are you clinging to her?""These things don't prove Vanessa isn't a good woman. To me, she's exceptionally good, nobody's better than her." Cameron was a good actor; he could portray the image of a deeply in love fiancé with vivid authenticity.He'd been acting for a year, completely immersed in the role.He was almost at the point where he couldn't distinguish between his own genuine feelings and his performance.Adrian suddenly took a step forward. Soft tactics weren't working, so he had to resort to force. "Then let me tell you plainly, I will not let my sister marry a man who's been married and has a child. And you're so much older than her – h

    She was getting married to Cameron and returning to Dublin the day after tomorrow. To prevent things from going awry, Vanessa could just keep up the deception. After all, once married, she'd be in Dublin and Julian in M. They might never see each other again in this lifetime.But she forgot, Julian wasn't someone to be easily fooled.His eyes held confusion and suspicion, as if he didn't quite believe her words. “A marriage of convenience? But you and Cameron are staying in the same hotel room.”“I slept on the sofa. He broke a bone and can't move around easily; he needs help.”Vanessa looked up, her clear eyes reflecting Julian's grim face, shadowed by a dark aura. “Julian, what happened between us is in the past. Whether it was real or not, we'll both have our own families now. Let's not see each other again.”“Don't call me that.”When she used to call him that as a child, it was a pet name, filled with affection.Now, it was only distant and sarcastic.It grated on his ears.“Fine

    After her injuries had healed, she was to return to Dublin, so Vanessa specifically went to buy a new suit. Before leaving, she had to pick up Lily, and Cameron always needed to look presentable. Vanessa remembered his measurements perfectly, reeling them off one by one, and chose a stately black.After ordering the suit, she noticed someone had been watching her the entire time.It was Julian's wife.It was just a cup of coffee, and Vanessa wasn't that stingy. Stacey still wore her familiar gentle smile, but after three years, there was a touch more pretense, less of the pure innocence she once had."You don't know, in the three years since you left, Julian has always been so regretful."She didn't need Julian's regret.Vanessa let out a short laugh. "By my reckoning, your child should be two years old now?""You don't know?" Stacey's eyes widened slightly, a look of profound surprise on her face. "That child was accidentally miscarried. I was in a bad place then, emotionally, and th

    A sigh of relief.Jerry hurried downstairs to bring Rose up.Without the engagement, she no longer bothered to put on an act in front of Julian. She sat down directly, tapped the table, and commanded Jerry, “Tea. A guest has arrived, and you, a secretary, don’t even know to pour tea?”Julian shot J

    Vanessa nodded with effort, "I'm fine.""I'll take you to the lounge."They were about to leave when Freda stepped forward, blocking their way. She pointed a finger at Jeremy's nose, "Where did you come from, are you blind? Didn't you see I was scolding her? Who told you to take her

    Three years ago, when Cameron brought back that lab report, Adrian only glanced at it hastily. She didn't rule out the possibility of it being falsified, but if it was fake, why would they have been willing to let Vanessa suffer for three years?These questions could only be answered when

    Clutching her bag, she shook her head, the refusal laced with bitterness, "You can decide the time for the next lesson. I'm free whenever.""Okay." Harvey didn't press, walking her to the elevator doors and watching her disappear inside.The way she looked, she really didn't seem to
