After the Parker family announced the engagement news, it
soon became a trending topic.
Some long–lost memories were dragged back.
Netizens were all talking about the rumors again–about how ! pushed Hannah downstairs back then.
Some netizens blessed them, and some cursed me.
Netizen A: “Finally, it’s official! Congratulations! I hope you live happily ever after.”
Netizen B: “Have This book had been added on your bookshelf.
Netizen C: “What a perfect match. I believe you’ll stay
together and be happy forever.”
Netizen D: “Where’s Seraphina?”
Netizen E: “I bet she’s hiding somewhere eaten up by jealousy.”
Netizen F: “I heard she was forcibly sent abroad.”
Netizen G: “She’s so vicious. Even if she managed to harm Hannah, Trevon would never fall for her.”
Netizen H: “No matter what she did, it was to no avail. She should rot abroad!”
I looked at those comments but didn’t feel a thing. Then I

During dinner, to my surprise, my dad went back with Trevon.
I happened to walk downstairs to eat, and I saw them.
Standing at the stairwell, I trembled violently.
Why was Trevon here?
He was such an influential figure and would know anything the second it happened.
Of course, he knew I was back.
Wait.
My dad wouldn’t dare to get me back without his permission.
This book had been added on your bookshelf.
My dad invited Trevon to the study respectrany.
Then he signaled for my mom to take me away lest trouble.
Still in a daze, I followed my mom while keeping my head down and sat in the living room.
The door to the study wasn’t closed.
Tilting my head, I saw Trevon’s tall, slender figure.
He was wearing a pure black suit, his hair neatly cut.
He was always the chosen one, more handsome and resolute than anyone.
I turned around and looked over.
It seemed my dad was looking for something.

He ignored the cup of tea on the table, took the thing, and was about to leave.
“Sera, what do you think of this bag?”
My mom wanted to distract me.
I turned back and looked at the picture she was pointing at.
“It’s gorgeous, Mom.”
Five minutes later, Trevon walked out of the study.
My mom stood up and offered politely, “Trevon, why don’t you stay for dinner?”
Everyone knew he wouldn’t linger here.
But no one could afford to mess with the Parker family.
Trevon turned around and, for the first time after he entered the door, glanced at me.
There was nothing but indifference in his eyes.
It seemed I was a mere stranger to him.
I sat on the couch motionlessly, my body stiff.
If it were in the past, I would have rushed over and clung to his arm eagerly, saying his name sweetly.
But today, I stayed quiet. He no longer mattered to me that much.
He nodded at my mom slightly.

“Thanks, Mrs. Duarte, but I’ll pass. I have things to do”
Then he looked away and was about to leave in big strides,
After he took a few steps, I suddenly clenched my fists and said, “Wait.”
He stopped in his tracks,
His body stiffened for a second before he turned around.
My mom grabbed my arm, panicking.
“Sera, what are you… Didn’t you hear Trevon? He has something to do.”
She clutched me so hard that I felt pain.
Meanwhile, Trevon’s eyes darkened.
“What’s up, Ms. Duarte?”
He addressed me as “Ms. Duarte” instead of “Sera“.
I felt nothing being addressed like this.
After all, I wouldn’t call him “Trevon” again either.
I took a deep breath.
Then I said, “Wait for a second. I’ve got something for you.”
Then I pulled my hand away and ran upstairs.
I entered the password, opened the innermost drawer, and took out a square box.
Then I ran downstairs.

Everyone looked at me coldly.
Maybe they all thought I was up to something again.

Yet, when they saw the dark blue box in my hand, they realized something, and even the cold expressions on my parents‘ faces vanished.
“I pestered Madam Parker for this. But it doesn’t suit me. It’s yours now.”
Trevon was surprised by my words. He’d expected something else.
His expression softened.
It was an antique bracelet in the box, a family heirloom passed down through generations of the Parker family.
No one had ever thought that Trevon and I would be an item, but Yvonne Parker, his grandma, adored me very much. When I was twenty, she gave me the bracelet, acknowledging me as her granddaughter–in–law.
I used to believe so firmly that I’d marry Trevon.
It took me a long time to realize it was just wishful thinking.
After a moment of silence, Trevon took the box.
Then he left.
My mom came over and patted my head soothingly.
