He knew she liked him since she was a child. She had followed him for as long as he could
remember,saying that she would be his bride in the future.
He did not expect that she would actually release him without so much as a pester after he broke off
the engagement.
After so many years of being engaged , he thought that she would at least want an explanation , but
little did he expect that they would separate so decently.
On the other hand, Zeta did not want to come at first.
However, it was Warren's eightieth birthday, and it would be inappropriate that she didn’t attend when
her parents did.
Besides, it had been so long since that incident.She believed it was time to move on, and there was no
need to keep avoiding Xavier.She just did not expect to run into him…She wanted to get some air on
the balcony.
When she turned around, she saw the man she had not seen in a long time walking toward her.She
gathered her composure , pretended not to see him, and walked past him.
Her arm was grabbed.
Xavier whispered in her ear with dissatisfaction, "There's no need to treat me like a beast,is there?”
Zeta hastily pulled her arm.
“Sorry.I didn't see you earlier." She nodded at him and greeted him.
“It's been a long time.” Her facial expression was detached yet polite.
No more, no less.She kept a polite social distance from him.
He laughed.
“Are you still angry with me?” She was puzzled.
“Why would I be angry with you?”
"About Daisy and I…” Before he could say it, she interrupted coolly.
"That matter has already passed, and you made it very clear.I have nothing against you two, and I wish
you a happy wedding soon.” After saying that, she lifted the hem of her dress.
“If there is nothing else, I shall leave first.” He stared at her, and his face did not look good.
“We’ve been friends for so many years.Do you really need to become so aloof just because of a
woman?” She frowned.
“I don’t think we are that close.Besides, she is not just a woman.She is your girlfriend…I think we
should not stay here and talk to avoid any misunderstanding.”
After saying that, she turned around and left without bothering about the look on his face.He stepped
forward instinctively, wanting to call her.
But when he looked at her back, a wave of inexplicable anger surged.Who was that face for? He
sneered.She was just a follower.
It did not matter if she went away.He turned around and walked in the opposite direction.He thought he
was very dashing, but a heavy stone lay on his heart, making it stuffy and blocked.
On the second floor, there was a room at the end of the corridor.
Weston pushed open the door and walked into the room.
The potted plants were already there.
He looked at the woman behind him.
“Come in." Stella nodded and followed him into the room.
She surveyed the room.It was spacious.She was going to stay here for a few days, so he purposely
arranged a large room for herto place her flowers.
"You could've just left them at home for a few days and let the servants take care of them.
You didn't have to go through so much trouble to bring them along.” Stella said, “You don’t understand
.All these have been grown by my own hands.I've gotten used to watering them every day and
watching them grow little by little…”
Disregarding her expensive dress, she walked to one of the potted plants, picked it up, and put it in the
best spot on the balcony.
Looking at the bright green leaves in the sunlight , she knew it would bloom in a short while.
