“He’s been working tirelessly for the past three years, but he takes three days off every year. Do you know which three days? “It's April 15th, 16th, and 17th every year. Do you know why?

“He would be in California.”

Selena’s every word was like a wooden club that struck her heart.

Her birthday was on April 16th, and it would take more than ten hours by plane from Andalas to California.

It was no wonder Serenity had once seen someone who looked so much like him from the back outside school.

Serenity was convinced John no longer wanted her, so why would he be there?

And now, she realized that it had been him all this time.

John had just taken over Grant Group when the news of his divorce with Selena spread, causing their stock market to fall. In an attempt to rectify the situation, John had been working overtime these past few days.

As he drove out of the parking lot late at night, a person suddenly jumped out from the darkness in front of his car. The person's body was thin.

Serenity closed her eyes as she kept her arms raised to block his path. Asharp screech of brakes was heard, followed by the sound of the car door opening and slamming shut.

Serenity opened her eyes as her chest heaved up and down due to her earlier panic. Two steps away from her knees was the front bumper of John’s car.

John walked to her his handsome face ashened.

With a clear low voice, “Do you know how dangerous that was just now?”

Serenity bit her lip and looked at him. The nervousness and worry in his eyes reminded her of everything Selena had said to her. John wanted to reprimand her, but when he saw her reddened eyes, his words got stuck in his throat.

“What's wrong? What happened?”

She sniffed. The tip of her delicate nose was unusually red and her warm voice was hoarse as she said, “My sister told me everything.”

John stared at her, his thin lips quivering. “What?” The parking lot was a little dark, and only the lights of the car were on. She lowered her eyelashes to hide her emotions. “The reason you got married back then.”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

John was in shock. Unfortunately, his back was to the light so she couldn’t see his expression.

He raised his hand and held one of her shoulders as if this was the only way to feel her presence.

She flung his hand away and staggered two steps back. Her eyes were filled with sadness amidst her poignant beauty as her voice trembled.

“You knew | wasn’t doing well at Rivers residence after Willow Town. The one | needed the most was you. Even if you did it for me, you shouldn't... you shouldn’t have... abandoned me...”

Her voice was so choked up that she could not continue. She clenched her fists by her side and dug her nails into her flesh. John felt as if there were thousands of ants gnawing at his heart. The pain was so distinct and obvious.

His lips moved but the thousands of words he wanted to say turned into: “Serene...”

The tears that she had tried hard to suppress flowed out again. Serenity closed her eyes, trying to control herself.

“You want me to be happy for the rest of my life, but do you know that you were the one who destroyed it?”

Her mournful voice was filled with criticism, her thin voice striking his heart fiercely..
