Chapter 4 Puzzle
Bryson paused, his beautiful eyes glancing at Iliana’s back casually.
Iliana had her back straight and her pace decisive. Soon, she disappeared.
Iliana had always been cold and stubborn.
Thunder growled all of a sudden. Bryson frowned and was about to chase after Iliana when Bryanna said pitifully, “It’s going to rain. I will be scared if I’m alone…”
In the end, Bryson didn’t chase out.
Bryson knew that Iliana wouldn’t go far.
Iliana had no family or friends in this city. She could only rely on Bryson.
Where could Iliana go?
She would come back soon.
Iliana indeed had nowhere to go. As soon as she left the house, the pouring rain started.
Iliana left in a hurry and didn’t even bring her phone. She could only hide from the rain at the door of the convenience store in a mess.
Staring at the rain fog, Iliana felt bitter.
It was the rainy season when she arrived in this city three years ago.

Chapter 4 Puzzle
One day, it rained, but Iliana and Bryson didn’t bring their umbrella,
They were only a few steps away from the car. But Bryson still took off his customized high–end suit to shield her from the rain.
In the car, Iliana felt sorry because Bryson’s expensive suit was soaked in the rain and couldn’t be worn again. But Bryson smiled and said to her, “It’s just a suit. You are way more precious than it.”
In the dim car, Bryson’s beautiful eyes were shining.
But now, Bryson didn’t even want to send over an umbrella.
Iliana smiled bitterly.
Next to Iliana, the glass door of the convenience store was suddenly pushed open. Warm air gushed out as the cashier said, “Thank you.” Then, a man with broad shoulders and a thin waist walked out.
“Iliana, take this umbrella.” A cold and deep male voice sounded.
Iliana looked back and met the man’s long, sharp eyes. Those eyes looked icy cold.
The man looked even more handsome than Bryson.
Iliana was stunned for a while. Then, she realized who he was.
“Maurice?”
Maurice Andrade and Bryson were rivals in the business industry, but Maurice and the Carson family had cooperation.
That was why Iliana had met Maurice a few times. But because of Bryson, Iliana had always been rude to Maurice.

Iliana had complex feelings as she took the umbrella. She hesitated for a while. “Could you…lend me some money?”
Iliana felt embarrassed as she was in a mess, her ears blushing.
Maurice glanced at her faintly. “Had a fight with Bryson?”
“Yes.”
“No need to pay me back,” Maurice sneered and took a stack of bills out of his wallet. “He leaves his girlfriend here alone when it’s raining so hard. Does he really like you?”
With that, Maurice left without waiting for Iliana’s response.
Iliana’s lips twitched. Subconsciously, she clutched the stack of bills tightly.
Even an outsider could tell that Bryson didn’t like her.
But it took Iliana three years to find it out.
That night, Iliana used the money to make do with a shabby motel.
The next day, when Bryson should have gone to work, Iliana went back home to get ready for work.
Although Iliana was Bryson’s secretary, she liked her job.
As soon as Iliana arrived home, she heard a cute female voice bossing around. “Kelly, throw these things out as well.”
Iliana was stunned. Then, she saw that many things piled up in the living room.
They all belonged to Iliana.

Chapter 4 Puzzle
The customized puzzle Iliana had spent half a year putting together for Bryson was also included. She had planned to use it as Bryson’s birthday gift.
It was unsealed, so the pieces were everywhere.
Iliana raised her head and saw Bryanna standing on the second floor. Bryanna was instructing Kelly Elmer to throw Iliana’s things out.
Seeing Iliana coming back, Bryanna smiled at her and turned around to enter her bedroom.
Iliana went upstairs and saw Bryson.
Seeing Iliana, Bryson felt uneasy for a moment. But he still wrapped his arm around her shoulders like he always did. “Why did you stay the night? I was so worried.”
Worried?
Iliana pursed her lips.
Iliana stayed in the motel near home. Bryson could have found her if he had wanted to.
“Why did you move my stuff?” Iliana asked.
Iliana looked at her things in the living room. Many of them were broken.
Bryson sounded casual as his gaze brushed past her. “Bryanna said the shadows of the trees outside the guest room window scared her, so she wanted to switch to another room.”
The shadows of the trees?

Because of that, they threw out Iliana’s stuff casually without asking for Iliana’s permission.
Iliana pursed her lips. Seeing Bryanna’s proud expression, she felt tired.
Iliana nodded without saying anything, watching as Bryanna closed the door in front of her.
Iliana had lived in that room for three years. Today, it belonged to someone else.
Iliana probably also needed to give Bryson back to Bryanna.
After all, Iliana was the substitute.
Iliana clutched her fists subconsciously. She lowered her eyes and went downstairs.
Bryson followed Iliana downstairs.
Seeing Iliana’s expression, Bryson raised his eyebrows. A smile crept up his handsome face. “Lia, are you angry? Give you room to Bryanna and live with me. What do you say?”
Iliana looked at Bryson quietly.
Bryson was still carrying his casual smile. He probably thought that he had given Iliana a better option.
Bryson thought Iliana should be grateful since he wanted to live with
her.
Looking at the scattered puzzle pieces on the ground, Iliana said faintly, “No need. I will take the guest room.”

After all, it was Bryson’s house, and he could allocate the rooms at will.
After Iliana went back home, she could pick whatever room she liked.
Bryson chuckled and teased Iliana, “Are you shy?”
Bryson put his arm around Iliana’s waist, his voice flirting. “I see. Girls are always shy.”
With that, Bryson stood up and left.
When Bryson walked past the scattered puzzle pieces on the ground in the living room, he paused for a while. “You had put it together. What a pity. But it’s OK. I will put it together with you.”
Iliana didn’t raise her head, her tone calm. “No need. It’s nothing important. Just throw it away.”
It was just a puzzle. Iliana would let it go.
Just like her love with Bryson.
Iliana would let it go as well.
Bryson was shocked that Iliana didn’t complain. He looked back at her.
“Lia, you’ve grown up.” Bryson curved his thin lips. He walked over and kissed Iliana on the forehead. “Three years ago, you would have started to complain.”
Iliana shook her head and dodged Bryson’s touch casually.
Iliana would never complain to Bryson again.
After Bryson left, Iliana helped Kelly clean up the guest room.

Kelly was indignant. ” Ms. Carson, it took you such a long time to put that puzzle together. You wanted to give it to Mr. Jefferson on his birthday and asked me to keep the secret. But now, the puzzle…”
Iliana smiled, “Just pretend this puzzle never existed.”
Iliana would also pretend that she had never liked Bryson.
When Iliana was packing her stuff, her phone vibrated.
A close colleague of Iliana’s sent her a text.
“Iliana, hurry up and come to the company!”
