Crossroads

Chapter 338

Stephanie didn’t know why Vincent came to Caelorum. She hadn’t seen him for a whole week after they last met

She had originally planned to return to Havencrest, but Samantha, holding her hand, persuaded her to stay for a few more days with her hoarse sobbing. Overcome with kindness, she stayed for another week.

“I don’t have any luggage. I can just take a taxi straight to the airport. No need to see me off

Stephanie briefly packed her bags. And as she came out of her room, she saw Diana carrying a bowl of coconut soup. Diana said, “There are sull three hours left, so you don’t have to go to the airport so early. Drink this first.”
