Sean’s breath hitched, but he had already anticipated her question, so he quickly recovered. He nodded and didn’t hide anything.
“Aliana, I don’t know if this is right or not, but I feel like Aaron wouldn’t want to see you like this. If you choose someone you truly love, I will accept it, support it, and bless it. But at least, he should be the person you truly love.”
She looked at him, her eyes filled with inexplicable emotions, “Even if it’s not you?”
“Even if it wasn’t me.” he nodded.
“Perhaps I should thank you, but…” Aliana was really happy to see Aaron again. She no longer had any regrets about not being able to continue with Wayne, after all, he said they were not meant to
- be.
From the moment his heart became a part of someone else, Wayne would be the continuation of his life, but he would no longer be himself.
Being able to untie the knot, perhaps she did need to thank Sean, but in those four years entangled
with him, she still felt she had a clear conscience.
She didn’t owe him anything. She approached him with a purpose, but she never mistreated him.
However, what Sean owed her couldn’t be erased either. He never responded with the same level of
respect she showed him. And now, with a casual “I’m sorry“, he thinks he can erase everything from the past?
How is it possible?
“Sean, from now on, let’s pretend we never knew each other.”
She walked briskly, and as she was riding the elevator downstairs, the elevator doors opened and
her gaze met Wayne’s inside the elevator. She pursed her lips and stepped in, pressing the close
button. “Thank you, Mr. Wyatt, for letting me go last night. When I check out, I will also ask Mr.
Wyatt to return the money, and I will repay Mr. Wyatt. Also, I will submit my resignation letter to
the HR Department today.”
Wayne’s gaze remained fixed ahead, but his peripheral vision kept drifting towards her direction. Upon hearing her words, he paused for a moment, then replied, “I’m sorry, I was too harsh with my words last night. You don’t have to repay me the money. The Wyatt Group is not so stingy as to make its employees bear their own hotel expenses during business trips.”
Aliana shook her head and, as she spoke, the elevator had already stopped on the first floor. She

walked out first and bid them farewell one by one.
“Mr. Wyatt, it has been a pleasure working with you during this time, and Douglas, thank you for taking care of me. Until we meet again in the future!”
She waved her hand, turned around and left. She hailed a taxi after leaving the hotel and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
When Sean hurriedly caught up, what he saw was her getting into a taxi and disappearing into the
crowd as the car started.
He hurriedly chased after her, but the car she had boarded had already disappeared into the traffic.
“Don’t chase her anymore, she wouldn’t stay anymore.
It’s strange that even though Wayne himself drove people away with his words, his heart feels empty at this moment.
But he knew that, even if she didn’t leave, she never belonged to him.
As for Aliana, she went to the airport and made a long–awaited trip back home.
Ever since Aaron had an accident that year, she subconsciously avoided going home, afraid that once she returned, she would be reminded of what happened back then. Now, she can finally face it
with composure.
When she suddenly appeared at the doorstep, her parents‘ eyes turned red, but there was not a w of reproach.
“Mom, Dad, I’m sorry…‘
Her voice choked, and she was held in her parents‘ arms, gently comforting her, “It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back.”
Not knowing if they heard the noise outside the door, the next–door room’s door was also pushed open at that moment. When they saw Aliana standing outside the door, Aaron’s parents were equally surprised and delighted.
“Aliana came back? It’s hot ourco come inside and cool down!”
Looking at the few elderly people who still treated her the same as before, she felt guilty and sad in her heart. Her throat felt sour, and in the end, she could only say those few words, “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault…”
Aaron’s loving parents gently patted her head, but tears still couldn’t help but fall. “Silly child, how

can we blame you? You were saved by Aaron at the cost of his life. You must live well and not let him down. People, after all, must always look forward.”
The comfort from her parents made her want to cry even more, but she held back her tears.
“It will get better. Everything will get better.”
She lived well, carrying Aaron’s share with her.
From then on, I couldn’t see you in the deep clouds, but you were everywhere.
