You wanted this, right?”Joy sparkled inside Catherine and her mood was elevated once more the moment she saw the photo.

Will it be okay to let Georgie take care of you that day?” Stanley Batton asked.There were some important tasks regarding the foreign branch of his company awaiting him.

With a face like that, it would be difficult for her to live a decent life, not to mention revenge. Ron Batton was Xyla Quest’s life savior. However, she broke the promise between them. Her heart sank whenever she reminded herself of her irresponsibility and incapability. She found herself standing as rigid as a pole at the gate, her legs frozen to the ground. It took some time for her to recover from her dejection before she dragged her suitcase and strode into the courtyard.

It looked the same as it was before she left. Spring was definitely the most beautiful time of the year. The cherry blossoms in the courtyard were fully bloomed and the petals were dancing in the air as the cooling wind blew across the house, carrying a tinge of floral fragrance with it.Stepping across the ground covered with fallen leaves
