And the root of all this...She hadn't told Daphne, and hadn't Daphne come to ask?"I'm going back to my country in a while."This should be the type Zak would like, according to Lena McCarthy's understanding of her.Lena McCarthy looked at her somewhat surprised expression, proudly saying, "Because I've been studying hard and can graduate early, you know? Impressive, right? Surprising, huh?" Zak was indeed surprised, as in her memory, Lena McCarthy wasn't the type to study hard to graduate early. She loved to have fun and had always been the type to just get by."Nothing." Lena McCarthy looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky. "You rarely come to country A, you should enjoy yourself. And since I'm free during this time, I want to take you out and have some fun." "How about you don't leave tomorrow, and I'll take you to see the Northern Lights? There's a small town two hundred kilometers away from here, with glaciers and Northern Lights. Hey, don't you remember? You promised
"Oh, that's a pity then."If it were before, she wouldn't have been like this...Surprisingly, Zak had a hard time answering this question. He indeed could be her type, but for some reason, she wasn't very interested."Zak, are you staying for a few more days?" At a red light, Siena Wolfe turned to ask her from the driver's seat.Lena McCarthy looked at her somewhat surprised expression, proudly saying, "Because I've been studying hard and can graduate early, you know? Impressive, right? Surprising, huh?" Zak was indeed surprised, as in her memory, Lena McCarthy wasn't the type to study hard to graduate early. She loved to have fun and had always been the type to just get by.Snow was drifting outside the window, the streets were cold and deserted, the winter in country A was much colder than in Utah, with thick snow covering the streets, rooftops, and greenery."Are you saying your sister is now in need of a girlfriend?"The man suddenly leaned in close, Zak frowned, and Lena McCarth
"And you see, you told me so long ago that you would take her to get treatment and let her leave your home, but now? I feel like you've really healed from your wounds and forgotten the pain. Nobody reminds you, and you've just lost yourself in it. When did you become so irrational—"Zak's heart ached."Zak, Daphne is an adult, okay? Don't worry about her safety as if she were a lost child or pet. Let me tell you directly, I booked her a ticket, and she has already left Utah."Zak felt like she might really have a bit of a saintly heart, or something else... but she didn't have time to think about it now. She headed towards Utah Station.Zak's expression dimmed as she looked at the completely darkened sky, feeling that this day was particularly absurd.It was a bit far from her house, taking an hour to get there. Anxiously standing in front of the door Jamarion had mentioned, she knocked urgently, only to be greeted by another former classmate.But the vast Utah Station really made it
Each word felt like a stab to Zak's heart. "Daphne, what's wrong with you?" Daphne grabbed the fabric of her shoulder, tremblingly pleading, "My mind is so confused right now, can you please hug me?" At this moment, what reason did Zak have to refuse her? All he felt was aching for her. Leaning forward, he willingly embraced her."Are you feeling better?" After a while, Zak asked again."Why would I lie to you? What's the point?" Zak found it amusing.Daphne was waiting for her at the airport, while she was celebrating her ex-girlfriend's birthday and planning to go see the aurora with her. It sounded so heartbreaking. In fact, Daphne had once made her feel the same way. She understood that feeling so well, as if her heart had plunged into a deep abyss, dark and hopeless."No, thank you," Zak declined. The officer nodded and left them alone. Zak continued to pat Daphne's back while she continued to sob uncontrollably, finding solace in releasing her grievances."Really?" Daphne's voic
Daphne glanced at Zak, who was also looking at her, but her expression was different from when she was misunderstood as his girlfriend before. It didn't seem like she was in a bad mood anymore...Clearly, no matter what, she should be the one feeling most wronged, yet she apologizes like this. Zak's heart softens, how could she blame her? She just regrets not telling her about the delayed return to the country, or... why delay the return?The policewoman nodded in satisfaction, "That's more like it.""But Zakky already promised her... Does Zakky really have no intention of getting back together with her? She's clearly his ex-girlfriend, why would he agree to such a request..."Zak finds it strange too. How did Daphne know that Lena McCarthy was her ex-girlfriend? When they were dating, Zak had posted a few photos together on social media, but Daphne had long since deleted her Snapchat, so Daphne must have really gone back to Utah to peek at her, and she could remember her face so clea
The next morning, Daphne had completely recovered from the fever. Zak had been tired for a long time, and now she felt relieved, going back to her room to rest, almost falling asleep as soon as she lay down.She sat on the windowsill alone, browsing her phone, and Zak couldn't see what was on her phone.Zak's breathing became heavy.Zak, as she wished, didn't leave and stayed with her almost the entire night.She looked at the woman sleeping on the bed. Perhaps because she was sweating from the fever, she didn't sleep very well. The neatly arranged blanket had somehow slipped off her fragrant shoulder.Was it like this? Was she so attached to him?Everything now had developed into a situation she had never expected before. Hopefully, this time, Daphne wouldn't repeat the same mistakes.It wasn't until the morning of the day she agreed to return home that Daphne took great care in dressing up. She eagerly went out to pick her up at noon.So she took out her phone, put on her earphones,
A third of the progress bar of the campus movie had passed, and Daphne hadn't said a word since.The steadfast Utah University, which had always been firm in her mind, was now shaken so easily.Daphne's eyes suddenly dimmed. "Is that so?"But now...Compared to Utah University, Capital University was definitely better, but the difference wasn't significant. Zak didn't care much about these pros and cons; she just wanted to stay in Utah. That's always been her thought, never wanting to change.Daphne leaned close to her ear. "It's for Zakky to watch. Seeing how fascinated you are by her makes me feel like my figure isn't as good as hers."Upon hearing this, Zak's mood plummeted slightly, realizing that their goals seemed to be somewhat different.She pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Don't you know that this is the most enticing?"So she felt reluctant to leave Daphne. Without Daphne by her side, everything seemed bleak and meaningless.The actress was very sexy, and seeing Zak seemi
Zak propped up his chin and glanced at her. She held her coat, no longer peeling fruit for her or sneaking sips of her milk, keeping a distance of half a meter, is she sulking? This was Daphne's first time sulking at her. How should one describe it? Spoiled and arrogant?Zak was quite curious. How long could she stay angry? In the end, wouldn't she still come to break the ice with her?Zak found it amusing.Suddenly, a loud knocking interrupted the moment of tranquility."Zak! Zak, come out, Zak! Um... open the door for me!""Zak, you jerk..."Despite the soundproofing being so good, the drunken voice behind the door could still be heard. Zak could tell who it was, feeling irritated, he clicked his tongue impatiently. Daphne got up first to open the door.The person outside the door was Cora, and Zak remembered Daphne's hostility towards Cora that day.She pretended to be Cora's girlfriend, and now Cora was coming to find her in the middle of the night. Would Daphne misunderstand?Wha
