This was the world they lived in.With just a single sentence, many things were said and done... and it was truly over!Seraphine felt deeply unwilling, but what could she do?They just...!"I know there are things you're dissatisfied with. I can only promise you that your marriage won't be tied to the interests of the Holly family."In the end, Seraphine was the daughter she raised, so Eleanor still felt a pang of reluctance. But if she could make it so Seraphine's marriage had nothing to do with the Holly family's interests, then it meant Seraphine had more choice.But at this moment, Seraphine had lost her composure. How could she accept this? Just thinking about it made her...!But no matter how dissatisfied she felt, she could only nod reluctantly in the end."I understand, Mother!"Was she dissatisfied?She was extremely dissatisfied, but what could she do even if she was? It seemed like she couldn't do anything now...!Bianca!When this name came to mind, Seraphi
But everyone was disappointed.Bianca was gone for a long time. Time passed slowly—two weeks, a month, even three months went by. Yet, she hadn't contacted anyone. It was as if she had vanished from the face of the earth. No matter how many people looked for her, they couldn't find her.Eleanor remained in Verde City, staying in the house where Bianca used to live. The place still carried Bianca's scent, untouched since she hurried off to Simeria. So, most of her belongings were left as they were, preserving her original presence.When Curtis arrived, he noticed the tight security outside. Undoubtedly, Eleanor had been staying there during this time, but Seraphine was nowhere to be seen. Several times, Seraphine tried to see Eleanor but was turned away at the door. All she got was a promise of good arrangements and nothing more.Each rejection drove Seraphine closer to madness, feeling completely pushed over the edge by Eleanor's actions. Curtis entered the house and found El
Eleanor stayed in Bianca's house for about two months. Perhaps during this time, she was always waiting for Bianca—waiting for her to come home! However, Eleanor couldn't hold out until the end. The last time she entered the operating room, she didn't make it out alive!Her daughter in this world ultimately left her with endless regrets. Curtis brought her ashes back to Simeria. After confirming the funeral date, he went to see Natalie right away."If she contacts you, tell her the funeral is on the 20th." The 20th? That was a week away. Wasn't that a little too long?Obviously, the Holly family also hoped Bianca would get this message. Natalie nodded. "I'll let her know if she contacts me." However, whether Bianca would contact Natalie was another matter. News of Eleanor's passing was everywhere now. Natalie didn't believe Bianca hadn't heard about it.But even if Bianca had, she hadn't shown up.It was clear she didn't intend to return. It seemed that Bianca had trul
In the countryside of Weiss Town, Bianca looked out at the snow-covered landscape. The spruces were already buried under heavy snow, and the road was covered with thick layers of snow. She glanced into the kitchen. There were only a few ingredients left in the fridge, and the snow had been falling intermittently for half a month now.Before coming here, Bianca had done her research. They said the four seasons here felt like spring, but now she wondered if those people had misunderstood the seasons.Just then, the sound of a snowplow outside caught Bianca's attention. She hurriedly went upstairs to change her clothes. Today, she had to go out no matter what.The tires made a crunching sound as she drove on the icy road, and Bianca drove slowly. After all, she had never driven on such a road before.However, even on this slow road, there was an accident. When a figure suddenly appeared in front of her car, there was a screech as Bianca slammed on the brakes. The sound of the tires
It was Bianca's first time entering a police station. The cold, sterile atmosphere made her feel frustrated. Even though she had sent many people who had committed major offenses in their marriages to such places, she never thought she would end up here because she had assaulted someone.But, if one were to ask her if she regretted it, she... would say no! After what she had gone through with Malcolm, she hated men who were violent in marriage even more. She only regretted not hitting him harder!"Do you have any immediate relatives?" The cold question came with the sound of a pen scratching on paper.Bianca was already cold from the weather. When she heard those words, she felt even colder!Immediate relatives?After her grandmother passed away, she had no one left in her life. That woman was an accident! And now, that woman... was also gone from this world!Bianca had nothing left. She had no one left in this world."I don't have any." When she uttered these words, she
A few hours later, Natalie arrived in Weiss Town and then contacted Austin. "Have you arrived?""Yeah, but you have to help me cover my trail a little." Natalie's voice was playful over the phone. Ever since she accepted being with Austin, her feminine charm had become increasingly irresistible.From the other end of the line, Austin replied, "Nat, it's been two months since she left. It's hard to say about Zane, but you've seen Malcolm's attitude. Don't you think he deserves another chance?"Natalie paused. Zane was unpredictable, as he was a complicated man. When Zane had been her assistant, she hadn't noticed anything. Even during his time in Simeria when he did those things, many people couldn't see through him. He seemed emotionless, like someone ruthless who was set on power. It was like nobody could get into his heart. Who would have thought that this time, because of Bianca, he would eventually be willing to give up everything he had built in Simeria for years? Wit
Watching Natalie walk away to take a call, Bianca continued to load groceries into the cart. She couldn't hear what the man on the other end of Natalie's call was saying, but she heard Natalie hastily speak into the phone. "Okay. I'll be back soon."Bianca was silent. Was Natalie leaving already?Clearly, although these past few months had been a rare respite for her, they had also been lonely for Bianca.Natalie had always been her emotional anchor.It seemed that no matter how much her world changed, their bond would remain steadfast.Yet now, as Bianca heard that Natalie was leaving again, a tinge of sadness flashed in her eyes. But she also knew that Natalie wasn't in the best situation herself.Eventually, as Natalie turned back towards her, Bianca's expression revealed an unprecedented ease."Bia, I probably can't stay with you for now," Natalie's tone was somewhat apprehensive as she spoke.Bianca nodded. "It's okay, you should head back."After all, Simeria had jus
Nancy had dropped the hot cocoa in her hand. Bianca turned around to see the mess on the floor, and Nancy looked at her in panic. "I-I'm sorry! My hand hurts too much...!"Upon hearing this, Bianca looked at Nancy's hand. When she saw her swollen fingers and the scratches on the back of Nancy's hand, she couldn't help but wonder how cruel that man must be! How could he treat his own wife worse than an animal?!Bianca always despised such behavior, and seeing Nancy's injuries and the old scars on her arm from yesterday softened her heart a bit. "Does he... often hit you?"In Bianca's world, domestic violence by men was as unforgivable as infidelity. Once it started, it would surely happen again from time to time. So, in her opinion, there was no need to endure such a man.Nancy didn't answer Bianca's question. But like yesterday, she cried and covered her face when Bianca asked the crucial question.Bianca fell silent. Listening to Nancy's despairing cries, she recalled h
