“Nonsense.” Kaneeta laughed. “Him? To me now, he’s no
different from trash.”
After learning those cruel truths, the Kaneeta who once loved
Edmund deeply had completely disappeared.
She had indeed been foolish before, but if she kept being foolish
even after knowing the truth, she would lose respect for herself.
“That’s good, then. Let’s not think about him. Wouldn’t it be
better to come back and happily fall in love with our great
artist!”
Kaneeta instinctively replied, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
“How am I talking nonsense? You two are about to get engaged,
isn’t that basically the same as falling in love?”
To Cora’s words, Kaneeta found herself unable to refute.
“Let things take their course.”
“Alright, I’m off to play games. You should go to bed early. I’ll be
waiting for you to come back, mwah!”

With that, Cora hung up the video call.
Kaneeta picked up another face mask and put it on.
At this moment, she was very calm, her mind especially clear.
Since she had personally agreed to the engagement, she had to
take responsibility for her own words.
Perhaps, at times, her heart had indeed rippled slightly because
of someone who had unexpectedly entered her world.
But in the end, everything would return to calm.

On the morning of the fifteenth, Kaneeta arrived at the airport
on time.
Woodrow was already waiting for her at the airport.
Seeing him, Kaneeta smiled calmly. “Mr. Hartwell, good
morning.”
“Good morning, Ms. Drayton.””
Woodrow gazed at her intently.
For some reason, he felt that something about Kaneeta was off.

Her smile seemed polite, calm, and perhaps… a little relieved?
He thought, maybe it was because she was about to leave
Calchester, and wanted to let go of everything in the past.
The two of them boarded the plane together.
Woodrow’s private jet had separate small rooms. After
boarding, Kaneeta chatted with him for a bit before going into
her own room.
Woodrow stood at her door, raised his hand as if to knock, but
in the end, decided against it.
After all, they would soon be back in Roseburn.
Once they arrived in Roseburn, they would have plenty of time
to get to know each other slowly.
The plane landed in Roseburn.
The moment she stepped off the plane, a surge of complicated
emotions welled up in Kaneeta’s heart.
It had been a long time since she had come home.
She took a deep breath of the dry air, her fingertips
unconsciously rubbing the handle of her suitcase.

Woodrow’s assistant stepped forward to take her luggage. She
thanked him politely, but refused.
The assistant looked at Woodrow.
“Let me take you back to the Drayton’s villa first,” Woodrow
said.
“Thank you, Mr. Hartwell, but my family sent a car to pick me
up,” Kaneeta said with a smile. “It should already be waiting at
the airport entrance.”
Hearing this, Woodrow did not insist.
“Mr. Hartwell…”
Kaneeta looked at him, wanting to thank him again, but the
debt she owed him could not be repaid with a simple thank you.
So in the end, she simply said, “Goodbye”
Woodrow looked at her as well, his tone unreadable. “Yes, we’ll
see each other again soon.”
Given the current relationship between their families, what he
said was perfectly normal, so Kaneeta didn’t think much of it.
She pulled her suitcase and turned to leave.
The crisp, resolute sound of her heels striking the ground

gradually distanced itself from Woodrow’s footsteps behind.
