All Chapters of Leaving You Bereft: Chapter 961 - Chapter 970

At last, Tessa and Jareth met again.The moment Benedict walked in, he saw Jareth. Before anyone else could react, he pulled his younger brother into a tight embrace, pounding his back several times—everything that needed saying was said in that gesture.Tessa stood beside Benedict and caught Jareth's eye.Their gazes met, and a rush of complicated emotions passed between them.But in the midst of a joyous reunion, with everyone celebrating, no one knew that they had once loved each other. Their youthful, innocent affection had been precious and rare, now lost to the accident that had separated them.Now, when they met again, she was Benedict's girlfriend, and he had married the daughter of the man who had saved him.Vivian was kind and capable, managing the household with care and treating him well. He liked her, respected her, and devoted himself entirely to their family.…The lights shimmered brilliantly. Their eyes grew moist, holding a secret that no one else could kn

The car was dim and quiet. Tessa leaned back in her seat, turning her head to watch the night outside.The neon lights gradually faded, and the streets were mostly empty, with only a few young couples lingering.Beneath the trees, they kissed intimately under the soft glow of the streetlamps.A single tear glimmered at the corner of her eye. It wasn't longing or desire, but the weight of how awkward and delicate her situation was.Jareth's meaning was clear—their secret would remain between them, and over time, they would grow accustomed to life together as a family.She clenched her fists at her sides and bit her lip.Suddenly, her phone rang.Seeing that it was Benedict calling, she hesitated for a moment but decided to answer. Her voice came out a little hoarse. "Hello?"Benedict had drunk a little, but he was still clear-headed.Hearing the strain in her voice, he assumed she was catching a cold and softly told her to take some medicine at home.He explained that he wou

20 minutes later, the car slowly stopped at the entrance of Maison Novelle, the most upscale salon in Brindley.Sapphire was a distinguished guest, considered an SVIP at the bridal salon.When Jareth arrived with Vivian, Darren, and Tabitha, the store manager, Madeline Wilkinson, personally came to the door to greet them, smiling warmly. "Mr. Frey, today we'll be taking care of you and Mrs. Frey."Seeing Vivian, Madeline treated her like a long-time client, showing no impatience at her slight unease.She knew that although Vivian came from a modest background, luck had favored her, and she had already made an extraordinary leap in social standing.Her wealth was far beyond anything Madeline could hope to achieve in her lifetime, so she treated her with utmost respect. "Mrs. Frey, you have such delicate features—styling you will be effortless."She also complimented Darren and Tabitha.Madeline knew how to prioritize and understood that today was the Frey family's event, so she w

As soon as Vivian spoke, the high-performance car swerved slightly, but Jareth quickly steadied it and said lightly, "Tessa and I went to the same college. We've seen each other around campus back then."Vivian nodded in agreement. "I thought so. You're both remarkable people."Jareth turned his head to glance at Vivian, his well-shaped lips pressed together, offering no further explanation."How could I explain?" he thought.There was no way he could admit that the girl he had loved in his youth had been separated from him by an accident. Now, seeing her again, he was married with children, and she was about to become his brother's wife.Neither Tessa nor Jareth wanted to tear through that fragile layer of pretense or upset the delicate balance—unless they were willing to give up their current partners.But Jareth would never do that. He had once loved Tessa deeply, but now he had a wife, and he could never bring himself to hurt Benedict.So, it had to be this way.After tha

Some people felt joy, some felt sorrow.Benedict had to leave for Valois that night after the dinner party. Tessa couldn't go with him.When the banquet ended, Benedict helped her into the car. Tessa fastened her seatbelt and turned to him. "What time is your flight?"Benedict reached out, brushing her cheek, his voice hoarse. "1:00 am."He glanced at his watch—it was 10:00 pm, which meant he still had an hour and a half.After a moment's thought, he asked softly, "How about coming over to my place? It's been a few days… I've been missing you."He was blunt and straightforward.At their age, subtlety wasn't necessary.Tessa thought for a moment and said, "I have an apartment in Elesvine. It's always kept tidy, so let's go there. It's only about a 20-minute drive from the airport. Saves us some trouble."Benedict's eyes lit up.His darling cared for him, and by even letting him into her apartment, she was showing that she fully accepted him—that he had a place in her future
