Chapter 235 It's All Fate

I slowly lifted my head, and when I finally saw the woman's face, my eyes filled with tears. Bella grabbed the wine glass from the waiter, glanced at my shocked expression, and grinned, "Emily, you look so different now. Even the way you hold a wine glass screams 'successful woman.""

I was shaking as I put down the wine glass, my vision all blurry. I couldn't hold back my emotions and just threw myself into Bella's arms, hugging her tight.

"Bella! I've missed you so much!" I blurted out.

I could hear Bella's soft laughter right by my ear.

"Don't cry," she said with a faint smile, "People might think we're having an affair, that I'm the heartbreaker, and you're the wronged one."

Bella was still the same as ever.

I pulled back from her embrace, looking at her with tear-filled eyes. She had lost a lot of weight and looked a bit worn out, with faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. But at least her personality hadn't changed. "Bella."

I hadn't said her name in so long, thinking I'd never get the chance again. But here she was, right in front of me, and just saying her name made my heart ache, tears streaming down my face.

Bella pinched my cheek, saying, "I'm happy to see you here."

We grabbed our drinks and found a quiet booth to sit down.

"Bella, how have you been?" I asked.

She took a sip of her drink, put down the glass, and said lightly, "I've been fine."

Just three simple words, clearly she didn't want to say more.

In two years, it seemed like we had both been through a lot, and we couldn't just chat and laugh like we used to.

"Emily, I admire you for achieving such success today, and I'm really happy for you," Bella said.

I looked at her sadly, "Bella, why didn't you want to contact me?"

Bella didn't speak for a long time. After a while, she took out a necklace from her pocket, the one I had given her, but it was missing the pendant.

"Emily," she said seriously, "I wore this necklace you gave me all the time, even when bathing and sleeping, because it was a gift from you. One day last year, while walking on the street, the chain broke, and the pendant got damaged. Even though it was broken, I wanted to keep it as a cherished memento. But I found something inside the pendant."

Bella took out a small bag containing something that looked like a chip.
