Elin was Annisâ daughter, around the same age as Raegan.
They used to play together when they were little.
Although they lost touch after Raegan went missing, fate brought them back together five years ago.
Upon reuniting, Elin and Raegan instantly hit it off.
Raegan realized she hadnât filled Erick in on the plan and added, âOh, by the way, I have decided to make Elin the design director of my studio.
So, she will be staying here for a while.
Janey loves her.
Isnât that fantastic?â
Raegan expressed her excitement, but Erick remained unresponsive.
After a prolonged silence, he tersely replied with a âyes.
â
Raegan suddenly remembered something and said vigilantly, âKeep an eye on Dayton, Erick.
Just in case he bothers Elin again in Ardlens.
After all, it was your idea to introduce Dayton to Elin.
He not only cheated on her but also mistreated her.
You remember when he nearly killed her, right?â
âDonât worry.
I wonât let it happen again,â Erick assured.
âGood.
Iâm counting on you to deal with that jerk.
â
As planned, Erick picked up the car key and headed to the airport.
Upon reaching the airport, Erick saw a familiar slender figure from a distance.
Elin was wearing beige trousers and a simple white and black T-shirt, lacking any noticeable flair.
As Erick walked toward her, memories of Elinâs once passionate and innocent nature, especially when she adorned herself in red dresses, flashed through his mind.
His eyes couldnât help but narrow when he realized that ever since she got married to Dayton, she rarely wore dresses, even during the summer months.
As Elin caught sight of Erickâs cold and elegantly handsome face, she was taken aback.
The last thing she expected was for Raegan to arrange for Erick to pick her up.
Stubbing out his cigarette, Erick greeted, âGlad to see you, Elin.
â
Nervously clutching her Luggage, Elin responded, âNice to see you too, Erick.
â
The two exchanged greetings with stoic expressions.
Following the brief interaction, Erick impatiently adjusted his tie before assisting Elin with her suitcase, stowing it in the trunk.
Opening the passenger door, he gestured for her to take the seat.
âI actually prefer sitting in the back seat,â Elin said.
With the passenger seat door open, Erick rested his hand on the door frame.
He fixed his eyes on Elin, maintaining a stoic silence but wearing a somber expression.
