When Ashley arrived at their meeting spot, Ellie was already there waiting for her.
She smiled happily and walked towards Ellie.
When Ashely was already behind Ellie, she tapped Ellie on the shoulder gently and called out, "Ellie!"
"Ashley! You are finally here."
Ellie was so happy to see Ashley too.
"Let's go?"
"Okay."
Ashley and Ellie walked side by side towards their old apartment.
When they met the last time, they had a lot to talk about. But they didn't have enough time, and the
place wasn't appropriate, so they didn't get much chance to really catch up.
Finally, they are together again.
Ashley and Ellie were familiar with this place because they used to live here before.
"Do you want to go upstairs to have a look?" Ellie asked.
She was wearing a creamy white dress, and her shoulder-length hair was permed into small waves.
She didn't look like she was thirty years old at all.
"Do you still live here?" Ashley asked in surprise.
Ellie said nothing and just led Ashley upstairs.
Ellie didn't tell Ashley that she had already bought the apartment that they rented together before.
When Ashley left for no reason, she saved enough money, so she could buy it.
Ellie would occasionally come back here and stay for a few days.
For her, this was her home.
After all, this place had always been convenient to live in.
The surroundings were clean, and the neighborhood was safe. Moreover, there were elevators inside
the building that worked well.
That was the reason why even though the rent was expensive, they chose to live here in the past.
They didn't actually expect that they would live here for a long time until Ashley just left all of a sudden.
Ellie took out the keys and opened the door.
Ashley was so surprised that the furnishings inside were still the same.
As she looked around, she suddenly remembered her old days with Ellie in this place.
They were both young and inexperienced at that time. They had never expected that they would both
succeed in this city.
"How about the bakeshop? Is it still open?" Ashley inquired.
"Oh, you still remember that bakeshop? Ellie retorted. "Ash, why did you suddenly leave that time? I
didn't even know the reason."
"Ellie, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to leave you. It's just that, I didn't expect that I would run into trouble,"
Ashley explained.
"What happened to you?" Ellie asked.
Until now, she still couldn't figure out what really happened to Ashley all this time.
She had seen Andrew and Ashley walking side by side before.
But that time, they were just dating. They were not married yet.
"Nothing really. Anyway, let bygones be bygones. What's important is, I'm here now in front of you,"
Ashley replied.
"Alright." Ellie didn't push the topic anymore.
She was just worried about Ashley.
"Why don't we go for a walk?"
"Let's go."
Since it was in early September, and it was only seven o'clock in the evening, there were all kinds of
snacks and other things sold on the streets.
Outside the community gates, there were food stalls on both sides.
Those were the same food stalls that they regularly visited in the past.
Staring at them, Ashley suddenly felt hungry. She just realized that she hadn't eaten anything yet since
this afternoon.
Ellie glanced at her and walked to one of the food stalls without saying a word.
When she returned, she had already bought a lot of snacks.
"Let's eat," Ellie said to Ashley.
"Thank you, Ellie. I love you so much,"
Ashley said as she looked at Ellie. Ellie had never changed at all. She was still as thoughtful as before.
They ate their snacks while walking and talking on the street.
It was as if they never ran out of stories to tell each other.
Meanwhile, Jeremy had already memorized the WeChat ID of the person who sent the messages to
Angelina.
He had also kept the screenshots of the messages on his phone.
Now, it was easy for him to find that person.
In his heart, Jeremy was still unwilling to believe that the sister he had loved for five years was not his
real sister.
So, Jeremy secretly took a strand of Angelina's and Belinda's hair. He then brought them to the hospital
for a DNA test again.
The result hadn't come out yet, but Jeremy was so eager to find out the truth.
Right now, he was standing at the door of the Li family's apartment.
Rubbing his temples, he suddenly thought that he shouldn't have come here.
For no reason, he felt disheartened.
'If
Angelina is not my sister, it means that I've found the wrong person. Where is my real sister?
What should I do?' Jeremy thought to himself.
He couldn't help hitting the wall in despair.
Jeremy groaned as he felt the pain.
Eventually, he decided that he must know the truth today.
After plucking up his courage, Jeremy rang the doorbell.
"Who is it?" Tomas asked as he peered through the security peephole in the door.
He didn't dare to open the door at once.
As a matter of fact, the Li family was hiding. They got themselves mired in gambling debt, and some
bad people were after them.
They were scared to death at the moment.
As they were waiting for the person outside the door to speak, they were all holding their breaths.
"Who is that? Didn't we just pay some of our debt yesterday?" Jacob asked. His face looked horrified.
"Let me check again. If it's really that group of bad guys, let's pretend that we are not home. If no one
answers them for a long time, they might just leave," Tomas said.
"Okay," Jacob agreed.
Tomas looked through the peephole again.
"Who are they? Are they the bad guys who came here yesterday?" Jacob asked again.
"I don't think so. It seems that only one man is standing outside. And he is dressed smartly. He doesn't
look like a bad guy at all," Tomas replied.
"Let me have a look," Jacob said.
He pushed Tomas to the side and peered through the peephole.
But he couldn't recognize the man standing outside the door.
"Should I open the door?" he asked Tomas.
"Maybe you should. After all, we already paid our debt yesterday. I don't think those bad guys would
come back and ask for money again today. And if it's really them, we can ask for more money from
Angelina later."
"Yes, you're right."
After hesitating for a while, Jacob finally opened the door.
