Chapter 382 The Paper That Changed Everything

Even though Lily would be living with Jackson now and never return to the Luke family, James knew–he had no right to barge into her room.

But he missed her too much. And late at night, when everything was quiet, he couldn’t stop himself.

“Lily…”

It felt like he was possessed. The moment he pushed the door open, he half hoped she’d be standing there with a bright smile, throwing herself into his arms, saying, James, I’m right here!

But when the cracked door swung open, and warm lamplight spilled into the room, all it illuminated was emptiness and cold detachment.

The room was spacious. A princess bed, draped with pink floral sheets, sat quietly in the center. On it, a plush dog nearly as large as she was rested against the pillows.

Clearly, she’d been sleeping with that stuffed dog in her arms all this time.”

Unable to help himself, James stepped forward and picked it up. It still carried the faint, sweet scent of her.

But she would never stand beside him again. Never run into his arms again.

He held the stuffed dog for a long, long time before letting it slip from his grasp like a lost dream.

He turned to leave–but his feet carried him to her bookshelf.

It was also a soft pink, decorated with hand–drawn sketches any girl would love.

Lifting his gaze, he noticed a particular book on the shelf.

He remembered when they still knew each other as Elias and Lily–back before he learned she was Leila- she once told him she’d had a phase where she adored the poet Nalan Xingde. She admired his deep loyalty and devotion.

But love that deep rarely ends well.

Nalan had never lived to grow old with the one he loved.
