head to look,
As Adetine and Devon were engrossed in their conversation, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind her. She instinctively turned her h only to see a familiar face.
Rent, dressed in a suit, stood tall behind her, his face slightly solemn as he looked at Devon standing beside her. “Adele, don’t you introduce us?”
He had always been calm, but this was the first time she saw jealousy in his eyes.
But why was he jealous? In his heart, there was only Mariah
“He was Devon, Devon, from when I was studying before,” Adeline cleared her mind and first introduced Devon before introducing Brent, “He was…
husband, Brent”
After a brief and simple introduction, Devon and Brent shook hands. As they parted ways, they both had some red marks on their hands,
The two of them discreetly hid their hands behind their back, and Adeline sensed a tense atmosphere.
suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and waved to Devon, “Well, I’ll go back first. Goodbye, Devon.”
- left side by side with Brent, without seeing the hint of sadness in Devon’s eyes as she turned around.
On the other hand, Brent did not let her go
“What did you come here for?”

“It’s been a long time since I last came back to school. Suddenly, I had a whim and decided to come back and take a look,” Adeline paused for a moment, casually came up with an excuse to brush it off, and followed him out. Then she turned her head and asked him, “Didn’t you say you were busy today?
Why did you come here?
When the words fell, the two of them had already walked to the side of the car.
Adeline habitually walked towards the passenger seat, but at that moment, the passenger window slowly rolled down, revealing a face she had never truly
seen before, yet it was not unfamiliar.
Seeing her gaze fall on Mariah, Brent remained calm and his expression unchanged as he explained, “I ran into an old friend and we caught up.”
A very normal explanation, but Adeline’s gaze fell on Brent’s hand holding the snacks.
She suddenly remembered that he had also been a student at this school. Now it seems that Mariah is too. As for whether they are here to reminisce or to remember their young love, only they know.
“Hello, I am Mariah. You must be Mrs. Brent, such a young and beautiful girl,”
Mariah smiled and waved at her, speaking in an affectionate tone

Adeline tugged at her lips and nodded, seeing that Mariah had no intention of getting up. She went straight to the back seat.
Perhaps because of her concession, Mariah gained courage. In the car, she completely ignored Mrs. Brent sitting in the back seat, and playfully frolicked with Brent as if no one else was present.
In Mariah’s arms was the snack that Brent had just handed her. She smiled and picked up a piece of pastry to feed it to him, saying, “Brent, the taste of this date–paste cake is the same as before. Would you like to try it too?”
Brent was focused on driving and didn’t think much. He turned his head and took a bite of the date–paste cake she handed him. Immediately, her voice of coquettish complaint could be heard in the car.
“How could you be so careless? You bit my hand!”
Brent’s eyes held a hint of amusement as he raised his gaze and suddenly met Adeline’s eyes through the rearview mirror. In an instant, a few traces of panic flashed in his eyes, and he quickly pushed Mariah aside, saying, “Adeline, have you eaten?”
“I didn’t eat these ” Adeline averted her gaze and shook her head, but Mariah started to ramble on
“Why not give it a try? It’s delicious. Back in the days when we were still in school, Brent would often sneak out to buy it for me!”
“At first, Brent was a model student in the eyes of the teacher, completely clueless about climbing over walls. Every time he attempted to climb over a wall, he would end up with some injuries. I told him it wasn’t necessary to go through all that trouble, but because I liked to eat, Brent went and learned how to climb walls. After that, he never got injured again.”
Mariah was reminiscing, subtly hinting at how good Brent had been to her
She kept glancing at the rearview mirror, hoping to catch a glimpse of Adeline’s displeased expression, anticipating her reaction. However, Adeline remained silent throughout, not uttering a word or expressing any opinion
Finally, I glanced at Brent with a strange expression and said, “Your little girl has a really good personality.”
Upon hearing this sentence, Brent chuckded lightly.
“She was very well–behaved. ”
