His arms wrapped around Fitch's neck, his gaze as deep and clear as the midnight sky.

Fitch assumed the little guy was just hungry and kept walking forward, unfazed.

But as the observation elevator began its descent, Fitch's eyes inadvertently swept across the lobby below, and there it was - a woman's silhouette.

For four years, every detail of Zoey - her face, her silhouette, her voice - had been etched into his very bones.

Even from this distance, his heart trembled.

He froze, his grip on Nolan tightening instinctively.

Seconds later, he began frantically pressing the elevator button.

The hotel manager by his side didn't dare to speak up. He wanted to say that pressing the button now was futile; they needed to wait for the elevator at the designated floor to move down.

But Fitch knew this all too well.

He was just panicking, hence the repeated pressing.

When the elevator finally started moving down, he strode out with Nolan in his arms.

He arrived at the spot where Zoey had stood, but she was gone.

His gaze wandered aimlessly into the distance as his phone began to ring.

It was Tyler.

"Tyler, what's up?"

"Fitch, your mom has been calling me since yesterday. She and lan are helping you look for a potential bride. You're seriously considering getting hitched?"

Fitch's attitude had been ambiguous last time, so Sharon assumed he'd agreed.

But after discussing it with Nolan, the boy's stance was a firm no.
