Chapter 760:

“Ms. Marsh, you’re finally back.” His face was filled with worry.

Rachel paused and turned to him. “What happened?” she asked. The guard sighed and pointed toward a tall figure standing near the entrance. “It’s him. He’s been waiting for you for a long time.” Rachel froze. Even in the dim light, she recognized that figure instantly. Years of shared history made it impossible for her not to.

She had gone to great lengths to avoid him ever since she returned, yet here he was—waiting.

A flicker of hesitation crossed her face, but it lasted only a moment. She turned to the guard and said flatly, “If he asks again, just tell him I haven’t come back yet.”

The manager hesitated, then sighed. “But, Ms. Marsh… He’s been standing there for hours in the freezing wind. He’s barely dressed for the cold. Even the strongest person wouldn’t be able to endure it for long.”
