Chapter 62

Author: Lightmoon
Lucian remained steadfast. "I've sent orders to get you another gown. It'll be here in a while."

However, how could a gown prepared on short notice be as good as one from Velours? And one that the founder of Velours herself crafted was rare beyond measure. There would be none other like it!

Nevaeh didn't want to take it off. She was about to make a fuss over it, but when she saw Lucian's icy expression, she dared not say another word.

Still, she was very much unwilling to give in like this. "I'll take it off after my speech—"

"No," Lucian interjected frankly.

Nevaeh clenched her jaws. She didn't have the courage to say anything else, but still, she asked, "Lucian, who's trying to bring me down?"

Lucian cast her a glance. "I've already settled it."

He was telling her to stop probing.

Nevaeh had no choice but to take it as that, but she held a grudge against whoever it was. She would find out who the person was. She would never forgive those who dared wrong her!

Soon, the gown L

    Lucian stayed silent for a long time before blurting, "You want me to take responsibility?"Marisol took a deep breath. At that moment, she wanted nothing more than to find a brick and smash it against his head. "Stay calm," she thought. She couldn't win a fight against him after all. If she actually hurt him, she could end up detained. With graduation approaching, her future was too important to risk. She forced herself to stay calm. After a moment, Marisol regained her composure. She replied, "No. I want you to stay far away from me. I have no idea what you're thinking, and I've long since stopped expecting anything from you. I don't think you can give me what I want, and I don't want it anyway. "I want nothing to do with you. I don't even want to see you again." …With that, Marisol turned to leave, convinced she'd made herself clear. But Lucian's cold voice cut through the air. "So, can Nick give you what you want?" he asked. Marisol's brow furrowed. She and Nic

    Evening had fallen, and they were at the corner of the dorm building.Marisol looked up slightly at the tall, imposing young man in front of her. She felt somewhat surprised, but more than anything, she was confused. It had been a year since they last saw each other. Now that they were face to face, she could see that Lucian looked haggard and weary. His handsome face bore an added fragility.Had something happened?Then again, what did that have to do with her?They were supposed to be less than strangers. The fact that Lucian had stopped her at all already caught her off guard.Marisol instinctively took a few steps back, putting some distance between them. Her expression was cold and guarded, and without saying a word, she turned to leave. There was nothing to say.However, her arm was grabbed, and with a forceful pull, she was slammed against the wall. Lucian forced her against the wall, trapping her there with no escape. Marisol panicked and instinctively looked around

    Marisol was still in a daze. Even after getting into the car, her expression remained distant.Zachary glanced at her while driving and asked curiously, "Marisol, what's up? Did you find what you were looking for at the monastery?"She shook her head, unsure how to respond.Zachary didn't press as he was just making small talk. Finally free of altitude sickness, he happily chewed on buffalo jerky while humming along to a song playing in the background.The black SUV moved forward steadily.Not long after they set off, Marisol started feeling dizzy. Since she had basically done all the driving yesterday and had gone out that morning, she was getting tired and worried she might be getting altitude sickness too. So, she took a small breath of oxygen, wrapped herself tightly in her down jacket and blanket, and closed her eyes to rest. She fell asleep shortly after....Before long, winter came. It was the weekend, and with a break in their project, Marisol and Nick had planned a

    The monastery was surrounded by mountains. Built into a natural depression in the slope, it was surrounded by layers of red buildings with golden roofs, which rose upward. They were tiered and majestic.Walking up the slope, many red-robed devotees hurried past Marisol, and the sound of chanting echoed continuously through the narrow streets. As she passed the buildings, she occasionally caught the ethereal scent of smoldering herbs.Looking up, she saw several vultures spreading their massive wings. Their calls were piercing and powerful as they soared across the sky toward a mountaintop. It felt like standing between a sacred realm and the mortal world.Marisol paused midway up the hill, watching the vultures vanish into the horizon. Just as she was about to keep climbing, a deep, warm voice called out from behind her. It was so steady and gentle that it seemed to reach into her soul."Young lady, do you know where the vultures are flying to?"Marisol froze. Turning around, she

    Everything was too difficult to put into words. While Marisol struggled with what to say, her phone vibrated, and she quickly pulled it out to see Alinta's call. After gesturing to Nick, she answered the phone.Alinta immediately reported, "Mari, I found out about what you asked me to investigate. Nevaeh and Lucian don't really have an engagement. "It was something their families casually mentioned when they were kids, like a play-date promise; nothing was ever official. There was no engagement party, no real confirmation of a relationship."She added, "But I'm not entirely sure, you know? After all, these two did go abroad to study together, so I guess things will probably be settled by the time they come back."No formal engagement party, and no confirmed relationship. Marisol's emotions churned as a huge weight suddenly lifted from her chest. If that was the case, then she hadn't actually interfered in someone else's relationship. Besides, she'd been forced and deceived

    The rain fell softly, and maple leaves scattered around them. Under the white umbrella, Marisol looked up slightly, and the man's handsome face gradually blurred in her vision. Yet somehow, she had never seen him more clearly than now.Tears rolled down her cheeks. She opened her mouth. She wanted to say so many things, but it all came out as a sob. Complex emotions swirled inside her heart, and the ache was unbearable.After a long while, Marisol managed to utter only one sentence. It was as if it had drained all her strength. She said, "I'm in so much pain."That was the most honest thing she could say at this moment. Facing someone who had once seen her at her lowest, she had no defenses left. Nick instantly became teary-eyed. He couldn't hold back his emotions anymore and crouched down, gently pulling the rain-drenched, shivering girl into his arms. He held her close as he softly patted her back in silent comfort.The two embraced in the rain, and neither spoke. Yet, Marisol
