Facing Mabie's inquiry, Sam answered each question appropriately. The two of them chatted for a while.

Mabie poured some tea for him and asked, "Did you just come back? Why don't you go back and rest for a while?"

Sam thought of something and spoke sincerely, "I've already rested, so I came over."

He had already rested? Mabie lifted her eyebrows. If he has rested, how did he still have a travel-worn face? Even little girls would not believe such words, let alone a person like her who had lived out most of her life.

Since Sam's answer was proper, Mabie did not intend to expose him as she said, "It's fine if you've taken a rest. You're busy; you should take good care of yourself when you're still so young. Don't be like Vivy. She has recently gotten into a relationship and has lost herself. She doesn't sleep at night and always clings to her phone, giggling."

Upon hearing that, Sam's hand that was lifting a teacup paused, spilling tea.

That subtle movement naturally did not escape

Mabie's eyes.

However, she had to make it clear. Although Sam might not feel comfortable at that moment, he still had to get through it.

"You youngsters cling onto your phones when you're in love. It sure is convenient for you guys to talk. Unlike how it was for us. When we wanted to chat, we can only write letters or something. It's very inconvenient."

The smile on Sam's face slightly faded. Although he had vaguely guessed the outcome, he did not expect it to be so sudden.

It was so sudden that... he was caught off guard.

He had known that he might not stand a chance, but he didn't know that it was already too late.

Sam took a sip of tea.

The bitterness lingered in his mouth, filled his throat, and went straight into his heart.

After a long while, he smiled faintly.
