The moon was bright in the night sky, with no stars in sight.
The Maybach halted at Tideview Manor. Mr. Salvador stepped out alone, instructing the driver, âTake
Mr. Harris back. Iâll go in by myself. No need to follow.â
âBut, Mr. Salvador, itâs going to rain. I heard thunder on our way back.â Ian was concerned. There is still
some distance from the main gate to the manor. It might be better to escort you in.â
âNo need.â
Justinâs features were cold and deep. He lightly tugged at his Windsor knot tie and said, âI feel a bit
stuffy, so I want to take a walk. You may leave.â
âYes, sir.â
Ian leaned against the car window like a loyal guard dog and watched Justin until the car completely
disappeared into the night.
Justin took a deep breath and turned to walk toward the manor. However, before he could take more
than a few steps, a loud clap of thunder echoed, and it began to pour.
By the time Justin entered the house, he was completely drenched from head to toe. The harsh rain
and fall winds were chilly and unyielding, and the stuffiness in his chest was particularly bothersome.
Wilma rushed over in a panic. âOh my goodness! Young Master! How did you get soaked like this?!
Whereâs the driver? And whereâs Ian?!â
His face was pale. His jet-black hair that covered his twinkling eyes was soaked, and his lips trembled.
Water dripped from his arms that were hanging at his sides. He looked like a stunning sea god that had
just emerged from the sea and transformed into his human form.
âWilmaâ¦â
His throat tightened, and he asked in a hoarse tone, âIs there any wine? I want a drink.â âYouâre
soaked, and you still want to drink alcohol? Are you out of your mind? Iâll go make some ginger tea for
you. Hurry upstairs and get changed!â Wilma was deeply concerned. She turned to leave, but Justin
grabbed her.
âI just want to drink wine. Let me drink.â
âYoung Master, whatâs going on with you?â Wilma had a sense that something was not right. Unable to
bear it any longer, Justin said, âI ran into Bella tonight.â
âYoung Madam? You saw the young madam?â Wilma was initially pleased, but Justinâs next words
made her furrow her brows.
âSomeone is with her.â
âWho?â
âShe has a boyfriend.â The words came abruptly from Justinâs lips, his voice husky and broken.
Wilma gasped, inhaling a cold breath and staring in astonishment. âSo soon?! Well, I guess thatâs
expected. Young Madam is outstanding, beautiful, kind-hearted, and has a prestigious background.
Even after a divorce, she will surely have plenty of suitors. She wonât have trouble remarrying.â
âRemarry?â
Justinâs eyes turned bloodshot, and his heart pounded heavily.
âSo, is it because Young Madam has a boyfriend that youâre like this? You drenched yourself in the rain
and want to drink away your sorrows?â Wilma looked at him with a serious
expression.
âI donât knowâ¦â Justin shook his head absentmindedly.
âYoung Master, if youâre feeling uneasy because Young Madamâs love, which was originally meant for
you, has been given to someone else, I advise you to quickly adjust your mindset and let it go. It will be
good for both you and Young Madam. But if you genuinely desire Young Madam as a person, even
though you two are separated now and it may feel like itâs too late, I still hope you can figure out your
own heart and try to chase Young Madam back.â
Wilma placed her warm hands on Justinâs damp shoulders. Her gaze was intense. âYoung Master, even
if it turns out to be in vain in the end, at least you wonât regret trying. Besides, Young Madam deserves
it.â
âFigure out my own heart?â Justin kept shaking his head, continually denying something in his aching
heart. But with each denial, his heart would ache even more.
After graduating from the Royal Music Academy in Inalia, Zoe was selected to join the Royal
Symphony Orchestra. However, she ultimately gave up the position and chose to return to
Savrow.
Despite being an economic center, Savrow lacked the cultural richness of Inalia. It was permeated with
the scent of money and materialism, making it an unwise decision to come back for someone seeking
an artistic atmosphere.
However, she had her own secret plans-plans even Ryan, her elder brother, was unaware of.
Upon learning from her elder brother that Justin had definitively broken up with Rosalind and that there
was no possibility of reconciliation, Zoe was reignited with hope. In a hurry, she returned to Savrow,
ready to embark on her mission to conquer the man.
With nothing else to do that day, Zoe invited Bethany to her home.
Accustomed to being pampered, Zoe was haughty, arrogant, and self-assured in her beauty. As a
result, she generally looked down upon women in Savrowâs elite circles.
