Sure enough, it was this matter.
Marissa nodded, “I had already thought that, with the Holloway family’s resources, they would eventually discover that I faked my death.”
“If you… need any help, the Acevedo family can help you. My parents both really like you, Dwayne said tactfully, causing Marissa to smile.”
“It’s okay, Matt won’t do anything to me. I will meet him sooner or later. Let’s not talk about him today, otherwise I won’t even enjoy my meal.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you, but when you encounter difficulties, you must remember me. I am currently in the state of pursuing you. I will do anything for you, even if it means going through fire and water. Dwayne said boldly, always able to lighten the mood.”
Marissa couldn’t help but laugh again, “So tell me, what do you like about me?”
“Is it time for honesty now? I’ve been waiting for you to ask me.” Dwayne suddenly became serious, but the next second, he put on a smile. “I’ve liked you since before you returned to your home country. Five years ago, I wanted to come find you because Aunt told me you had a serious car accident. But before I could set off, I heard the news that you were already planning to marry Matt. At that moment, I knew I had no hope, so I stayed abroad. But I never stopped thinking about you. I just never expected that we would meet again for this reason.”
“Marissa, you had a tough time those years, I don’t want to put you in a difficult position, so it’s okay if you don’t agree with me, I just don’t want to regret again.”

Such serious and solemn words left Marissa stunned. She never expected that there would be someone in such a distant foreign country who had been silently loving her all along.
She couldn’t help but wonder, if Dwayne had really come to America to find her five years ago, would the outcome have been different?
It is highly unlikely. Five years ago, it was when she loved the most deeply. Even if she really broke up with Matt, there would be no one else in her eyes.
Only now is the best time.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something in response to the words, but the next second, the waiter pushed the door open.
“Hello, your dishes are ready.”
The atmosphere between them was suddenly interrupted. Dwayne didn’t say anything, just directed the waiter to place Marissa’s favorite dishes closer to her. Marissa looked at his thoughtful gesture and quietly smiled in resignation
It’s good to say no regrets, but in reality, she was still afraid, so she deliberately didn’t listen? She didn’t expose Dwayne’s thoughts, but this meal was more satisfying than before.
After finishing their meal, Dwayne still pretended casually to hold her hand. “There are no street lights on this road, be careful.”
Marissa nodded and walked quietly and slowly with him along this dark path.
Upon seeing the lights, the hand let go, and Marissa took the initiative to hold it. “Take me back,” she said.
She turned her head and smiled, causing Dwayne to pause for a moment.

Then, he tightened his grip even more.
Behind her, the waitress at the restaurant opened her phone in confusion, and her colleague tapped her on the shoulder.
“What are you doing? I just finished serving the table and noticed that you were distracted the whole time.”
“I think… the lady at the table just now looks like the one I’m searching
for online.”
The waiter took out his phone, on the internet were photos and information of Marissa sent by Matt.
When Matt received the news, he had been searching for almost three months with no sign of her. He even began to doubt if Marissa was really dead. It was all in vain, he would never see that person again.
But today, he finally received a message from overseas, although it was just a very blurry photo, Matt still recognized Marissa at first sight.
She was still alive!
He could see her again!
Matt immediately ordered the butler to investigate and found out that the place was in Canada, and Marissa’s parents were also in Canada. Why hadn’t he thought of it before? Matt was overjoyed as if he had been reborn, realizing that Marissa had been right in front of him all along, he just hadn’t noticed.
He bought a ticket to Canada, and Matt can’t wait a moment longer.
When he boarded the plane, his heart was very nervous. He was afraid that Marissa would not forgive him and would not want to see him. But then he thought, he and Marissa had been in love for so many years, how could she really be willing to leave? As long as he handled everything

well, Marissa would definitely come back after seeing his sincerity.
Ten hours later, Matt landed in Canada and went straight to his parents‘ house.
Outside the door, he was stopped by the bodyguard.
“I came to find Marissa! I knew she had come back, I just needed Marissa to see me for a moment!”
