At the same time, after a day and a night of flying, the plane finally landed.
Tamara’s new company’s partners had already been waiting at the airport exit.
The other person was dressed in a sleek dark suit, tall and slender, with a handsome and unique face that was completely different from the person in Tamara’s memory.
The only thing that remained unchanged was the look in her eyes.
“Mara, long time no see.”
Karson reached out his hand and smiled at her.
The moment he spoke, Tamara even had a momentary illusion.
It was as if time had suddenly gone back eight years, back to the starting point of the story.
Back then, she and Karson were childhood sweethearts admired by their classmates on the college campus. Whenever they had time, the two of them would gather together to plan where to work part–time on the weekends and how much equity each person would have when they started a business together in the future.
Due to growing up together since childhood, they were the closest to each other when they were young.
Two people once tacitly believed that they would be together forever.

In the end, one cannot resist the whims of fate.
From the moment Darwin appeared, Tamara and Karson drifted further and further apart, never to be the same again.
Eight years have passed, enough to make once closest people become strangers.
Just like Tamara at this moment.
She didn’t even know how to address the person in front of her who had grown up with her.
On the contrary, Karson seemed much calmer.
He first had dinner with Tamara, and then took her to the company they had founded together.
Up until this moment, Tamara finally felt a sense of fulfillment as her heart had finally landed in a place of contentment.
Over the years, she had had enough of the life of licking blood on the edge of a knife. When she thought it was the right time, she told Darwin her thoughts, hoping that he would come back to their country with her and live a normal life as an ordinary couple.
Before she could act on her inner thoughts, that person dealt her a heavy blow.
When Bella had just returned, Karson had also called her, saying that he
was or
to start a design company and asking if she was interested in investing.
But at that time, she still held a glimmer of hope for Darwin, so she refused.

Until half a month ago, Karson dialed her number once again.
This time, Tamara didn’t even think twice before agreeing.
Darwin was not coming back, at least, she had to bring herself back.
The designs of the company were all in her favorite style, so they must. have come from Karson’s hands.
She and Karson studied the same major in college, both majoring in Design.
They used to be the closest companions, as well as the strongest opponents to each other.
So no one knew Karson’s design style better than she did.
“I can’t believe that after so many years, we actually achieved our dream from college. Mara, are you happy?”
Karson had a smile playing at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes. sparkled when he looked at her.
Tamara did not answer his question, she just remained silent and stared at him.
“Karson, you have changed a lot.”
In the past, he was still young and naive. When talking to her, his eyes always unconsciously avoided hers.
Now, he has gained maturity and composure in his gestures and expressions, which have been accumulated over the years. When he looks at her now, his gaze is also firm enough.
After hearing her words, Karson just smiled.

He said, “You have changed a lot too, but Mara, do you know? Some things will never change.”
The tactful yet straightforward way he spoke made it difficult for Tamara to defend herself.
She turned her head slightly, avoiding eye contact with him, pretending not to understand the implied meaning behind his words.
If she were still her eight–year–ago self, maybe she would have shown a lot of courage and bravely taken a step forward.
But unfortunately, she was already thirty–two years old this year.
Many brutal lessons in the past have extinguished her passion.
She didn’t believe in love anymore.
She had no strength to respond to others‘ love, let alone to love someone again.
The first half of her life had been tumultuous enough, and for the rest of her days, she just wanted to live in peace and stability.
