Chapter 840: The Encounter

Aurora listened quietly as Rebecca recounted her past with Mio. After a pause, she finally spoke.

"Love is one of the hardest things to explain," Aurora said softly. "And people... they're never entirely good or

bad.

"He has no friends, no lovers, no family-no one standing behind him. He only has himself.

"If he didn't fight his way up, he would have forever remained the one trampled underfoot. We might see his

methods as despicable, but do you think he ever truly wanted to live that way?

"During the family meeting, he voluntarily resigned. Even though the situation was in his favor, he gave all his

Rebecca was stunned. "You're saying that before he resigned, he gave all his shares to you?"

"Yes," Aurora replied. "Didn't you know? Mio's sudden change in behavior always puzzled me. Now | finally

"You hurt him, but maybe that's what made him realize his past mistakes. No wonder he said he'd spend the rest

of his life repenting for his sins before he left."

"He changed... for me?" Rebecca asked, her voice trembling with disbelief.

"| think so." Aurora said with a nod. "That day. the way he looked at, vou-it was the look

"Fate is such a joke," Rebecca sighed bitterly. "He fell for me, and | fell for him."

"If you love him, then go find him," Aurora encouraged. "He has no family, so he longs for one. | know how that

Aurora's eyes softened as she spoke. She remembered her own loneliness, the days when darkness consumed

longed for light.

It wasn't surprising that fell for Rebecca. Her eyes were as beautiful as the clear blue sky, and her smile was

irresistibly sweet.

"I hurt him so much. I don't think he'll ever loveagain," Rebecca said hesitantly.

"That's not necessarily true," Aurora reassured her. "If he truly loves you, nothing you've done will matter."

Aurora smiled warmly, hoping that everyone around her could find happiness.

Just then, Julian's voice interrupted them.

"Little Bunny, so this is where you've been! No wonder | couldn't find you anywhere. | forgot to mention-our

garden is huge, but not every part of it is safe. Sof the flowers are poisonous, so don't wander around too

much, okay?"

Rebecca glanced at Julian, who looked genuinely worried. Suddenly, a memory surfaced-of a day when she and

had been walking down the street, and she'd nearly been hit by a car.

had reacted instantly, pulling her into his arms. His expression back then was even more anxious than

Julian's was now.

"Are you okay? Did you get hurt?" had asked, scanning her for injuries. His hands trembled slightly as he

held her. At the time, she had laughed at how convincingly he seemed to act.

"I'm fine," she had said, teasing him. "Why are you so nervous? It was just a scare."

"Don't ever scarelike that again," he whispered. "Rebecca, you're all | have. Don't leave me."

Back then, she hadn't understood what he meant. She'd assumed he had said those words to countless other

women before.

Now, Julian's voice brought her back to the present.

"Julian, I'm fine," Aurora said with a smile. "Besides, Rebecca was with me. She's more careful than | am."

"That's true," Julian replied. "But from now on, I'll go with you wherever you want to go. You're pregnant, so no

running around on your own."

"Yes, yes," Aurora said with a chuckle. "I'll stay where you can see me."

The two walked off, Julian's arm around Aurora, their figures fading into the distance. Together, they painted a

picture of perfect harmony.

Rebecca stood still, her mind drifting to Mio. Ever since that last encounter at the office, she hadn't seen him

again. But every day since then, a bouquet of white roses had appeared in her office.

White roses-her favorite. She knew they could only cfrom him.

For a month, her desk had been filled with white roses. Swere fresh and vibrant; others had wilted. Yet

beyond the flowers, seemed to have vanished from the world.

He sold his house. He sold his car. He left the company. She had no idea where he had gone.

Finally, curiosity and longing got the better of her. She decided to find him.

After following the delivery driver for a day without success, Rebecca discovered where he lived. The next

morning, she waited for him to pick up the roses from a flower shop.

She followed the driver to a quiet, unremarkable neighborhood. Around the corner stood a small flower shop with

a simple name: My Love.

He had left everything behind-his job, his house, his car-and opened a flower shop? Rebecca's heart stirred.

White roses were her favorite. Could it be that all the bouquets she'd received had been handpicked and

wrapped by him?

She noticed how the packaging had evolved-from clumsy and simple to elegant and refined. She felt a wave of

emotion.

At the entrance hung a wind chime. It was the sone she had given him long ago. She had told him,

"Whenever the wind blows, it means I'm thinking of you."

had been so happy over that small gift.

Rebecca stepped inside. The shop was quiet, filled with the scent of fresh flowers. And then, she saw him. Mio.

He was there, just as she had imagined. But he wasn't alone.

A young woman stood beside him. was gently holding her hand, carefully

applying a bandage to her finger. The girl's eyes were filled with affection.

Rebecca froze. Every hope she had nurtured crumbled in an instant. She had been foolish to think he still cared

for her.

She turned to leave, but looked up and saw her silhouette.

"Rebecca? Is that you?"

Panicked, Rebecca fled. Her heart ached as she ran. She must have been crazy to think about him all this time.

His life was fine without her. He had someone new.

Lies. Everything had been a lie. She swore she would never trust a man again.

A car sped past her, its horn blaring. Suddenly, she felt herself being pulled into a familiar embrace.

Tears streamed down her face. The image of and the girl lingered in her mind, etched there forever.
