At that moment, I dialed her number straight away. Texting felt too slow and impersonal, so I just called her. We had a lively conversation, and I invited her to stay at myplace when she arrived in Metropolis so we could hang out again.

Even before we reached the Kenway residence, I noticed a tall, princely figure in the distance against the wintry backdrop. My heart raced, and I suddenly felt bashful!

I had assumed Soren would be at his office today! I didn’t expect him to be home!

The Bentley pulled up, and Soren opened the door for me. smiled nervously, trying to mask my sudden unease, and said, “Wow. Look at you, taking time off work.”

“I wish that were true. I’ve only just returned home,” he replied with a smile.

Under the warm winter sun, his smile was dazzling, and his eyes glearned.

I wondered what he meant by “just returned home.” Did he rush back just to see me, especially after we missed each other the last time?

We entered the Kenway residence, and I was immediately struck by the contrast between the wintry, barren landscape outside and the lush, thriving greenery within the estate.

This had to be the power of wealth and status! Not even the seasons could make your garden yield to the rest of the world.

Soren noticed my silence and studied me closely. “Are you alright?”

“Hmm? I’m fine! Actually, I’m doing pretty good,” I answered, a little startled.

“You seem… tired. Maybe the proceedings have affected your mood?”

I panicked slightly. I hadn’t expected him to be so observant and considerate.

Yes, lately, whenever my thoughts drifted to Edward, I felt a little upset. I had even started distancing myself from Soren because of it somehow, I didn’t want to interact with him too much.

I had already finished altering his suits, yet I kept putting off giving them to him. I only started talking to him again because the centennial was approaching.

I thought I had hidden my feelings well, but Soren noticed anyway!

“No, of course not! All I want is to end this with him–and now, I’m finally free! I’m ecstatic!”
