Chapter 2453

Walking back to her apartment late at night, after meandering through a couple of streets for what felt like half an hour, Sophia could feel the chill in the air biting at her cheeks.

She was dressed in a taupe long sweater, her bag slung across her shoulder, hands buried deep into her pockets, head bowed as she strolled leisurely towards home.

The wind played with her short hair, casting shadows on the ground that she fixated on until she brushed her hair behind her ear with a swift hand motion.

Suddenly, she paused, a sense of awareness washing over her as she looked up and saw a black Rolls-Royce Cullinan parked under the streetlight. There stood a man, leaning casually against the car, dressed in a dark sweater with one hand pocketed. His glasses glinted under the streetlight, his gaze fixed on her as if he had been watching her the whole time.

The moon wasn't as full tonight but still shone brightly, casting long shadows that mingled with the cool light of the streetlamp. Despite the cold ambiance, there was a hint of melancholy about the scene.

Sophia's heart raced, overwhelmed as if caught in a tumultuous wave, her senses flooded with the salty sting of seawater.

Sniffling, she hastened her steps towards the man, breaking into a run, and then a sprint until she threw herself into his arms in a desperate embrace, seeking solace like a drowning person clinging onto a lifeline.
