NovelEnglishChapter 142 She knew all too well that if she were to be with Samuel, happiness would likely follow her for the rest of her life. But she... she could never truly reciprocate Samuel's feelings.
Wasn't that a kind of cruelty in itself? So...
"I remember the first twe met was at the freshman orientation, which means you've had feelings forfor seven years." "Seven years, how many seven years does a person have in a lifetime?" Serena's voice was tinged with melancholy. "Learning to let go can be a form of happiness too." Samuel's eyes clouded over for just a moment before he smiled and said, "Unless you're a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish? I've never sought any outcfrom liking you." Serena was taken aback. "Even if there's never a result, you won't regret it?" Samuel pushed the plate of chicken wings the waiter had brought towards Serena. "Not at all." Serena fell silent.
But Samuel chuckled softly. "Do you remember what you said when you were chasing Aaron?" Serena asked, "What did I say?" "You said you'd keep going until you hit a wall.

"Finding a place!" they both exclaimed in unison.
It was a moment of perfect understanding.
They exchanged a smile.
Sunlight bathed them, casting a golden glow.
Across the street, Frederick sat in his Lamborghini, capturing the moment with his phone.
The two of them together looked like a perfect couple, golden and radiant. No special angle was needed; every shot was picture-perfect.
"Mr. Foster, have you taken a liking to the girl across the street?" The woman in the passenger seat, m noticing Frederick photographing another woman, felt a twinge of jealousy. Then she realized it was Serena, and the man beside her wasn't Aaron but someone else. Pouting her red lips, she asked, "Is Mr. Vance really done with Serena?"

Elsewhere, after Serena and Samuel finalized the rental arrangements, they got in the car to look for a place to live.
To avoid running into Aaron, Serena opted for a remote suburb.
As they drove, neither spoke. Though they had known each other for seven years, they hadn't delved deeply into each other's lives. For a while, words eluded them.
Finally, Samuel thought of something.
"Serena, only my family knew about your tin Moonhaven. Do you have any idea how Mr. Vance found out?"
