She didn’t tell anyone about this, but Lucas and Sadie knew.

After Claire disappeared, her parents cto the school to cause trouble several times. Since she was missing,
everyone speculated she might have had an accident or been abducted, leading to all sorts of rumors.
However, the three of them suspected she left voluntarily.
Lucas was upset, feeling that Claire’s sudden disappearance was both ungrateful and a waste of Natasha's
kindness.
Moreover, because the money was given to Claire, Natasha had a difficult tright after leaving the Clark
family.
The Clark family couple even specifically asked several close families not to let their children help Natasha,
aiming to force her back home.
Later, Natasha found a part-tjob, and Sadie secretly sent her money from selling things. It was only after she
endured those initial days that she gradually recovered.
Natasha never regretted her decision. Just as she never believed Claire had escaped with the
money.
The reason Natasha wanted to attend the class reunion to see Clair was not to confront her, but simply to
reassure herself that she was doing well.
She knew that back then on Mount Misty, Clair had gone to Lucas to save her.
She cherished all the kindness she had received in her life.
Moreover, a hardworking, diligent girl who defied fate deserved to live her true life
No matter how dire her situation, the Clark family was not as ruthless as the Hartley family.
“Will you continue to stay abroad?”
Meeting her old friend again, Natasha felt much more relaxed, seeing that Clair was living even more beautifully
than imagined.
They didn’t dwell sentimentally on the past. A simple “thank you” and “it’s okay” covered everything.
Claire shook her head, a determined light in her eyes. “I'm returning home. | want to assemble a team to shoot a
formal film.”

Clair had already conceived the thand story. She hoped to bring the lives of marginalized young women to a
wider audience.
Natasha's eyes curved with a smile. “I wish you success.”
Claire also smiled. “Your blessings always ctrue.”

Just as they were about to have a deeper conversation, Natasha's phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the non the screen, she smiled and told Claire, “Excuse me, | need to take this call.”
Claire nodded in understanding.
She was about to go thank Kiara when she heard someone call her name. “Claire?”
Claire turned around, surprised to find it was Lucas.
‘Then why did Natasha's sweet-sounding phone call just now?’ She raised an eyebrow.
Lucas looked at her with surprise and delight. “Great, can you helpwith something?”

Someone chuckled. “I heard there will be a meteor shower tonight. | wonder if we'll see it.”
“What if we do see it? Are you going to confess your feelings to someone?”
Playful laughter rang out. While everyone was enjoying the pleasant atmosphere, the music from the band
nearby had turned into pure piano music.
Wearing a crisp white shirt and black suit pants, the pianist’s striking features caught the eye. On a night with
stars overhead and a gentle breeze, they looked just like the ideal first love from a cherished memory.
He was playing “Fir Elise,” and a bright, romantic love flowed from his fingertips with the
music.
A classmate recognized the pianist and exclaimed in surprise, “It’s Lucas!”
“Wow, | haven't seen him at all. I thought he wasn’t coming.”
“The decorations around us have changed, didn’t you notice?”
“So many flowers! Is he going to confess to someone?”

“Is it her?”
“No way. Her boyfriend is Alexei! Even Lucas can’t be that tactless!”
“But he liked Natasha back in school. Everyone knows that.”
“Don’t spread rumors. Lucas and Olivia are already engaged.”
Suddenly, everyone had something to say.
A group of people watched Lucas curiously as he played his instrument.
However, someone realized something was wrong.
The other protagonist was missing.
Everyone looked at each other blankly.

Natasha found a quiet place to take Alexei’s call. As soon as she hung up and stepped out, a familiar classmate
stopped her.
A rose was presented to her.
“He said he never forgot the promise made when he was 18.”
Next, another person.
“When he was 20, he went to the appointment at the library, but you had already left by the
the arrived.”
Another flower.
“If he could start over, he wished he had never gone to sea that day.”
“My love for you didn’t begin the day | confessed, but much, much earlier, every second we spent growing up
together.”
Natasha watched them approach with a cold expression, not accepting a single flower.
Those people grinned awkwardly and placed the flowers on the steps.
The situation was different from what Lucas said.
Natasha didn’t find all the explanations and expressions romantic. Instead, she felt choked and intensely
nauseated.
Lucas clearly remembered every the hurt her. He wasn’t insensitive. He merely

It didn’t matter if he had his own difficulties. At the end of the day, he didn’t choose her.
He wouldn't understand that back then. After finally leaving the Clark family, Lucas and Sadie were the only two
people Natasha trusted and relied on. Yet, it was Lucas who gradually betrayed her by getting close to Olivia,
who had brought her the most pain.
That was even more hurtful than the actions of the Clark family members who had sided with Olivia from the
beginning.
Natasha even felt a brief moment of confusion at first; as if she had done something wrong.
She wondered if she misunderstood Olivia. Or she was too extrand harsh.
Later, Natasha understood. It was just that her grievances couldn't outweigh their peace of mind after they
made amends.
Because she had previously received preferential treatment, she was more attuned to noticing the
inconsistencies.
No matter the reason, if it wasn’t genuine, she didn’t want it.

Lucas was now trying to make her relive old memories, unaware that there was nothing good
in them.
Even without Alexei, she wouldn't turn back.
Intense disgust made her step over the flowers, her face taut, ready to call someone to kick
Lucas out.
However, in this environment that made her bristle all over, a calm voice broke through the
confinement.
Natasha turned her head towards the sound, and her stormy expression suddenly cleared.
She suddenly felt wronged.
“Alexei!”
The man she had just spoken with, whom she thought was still far away in Stieca, suddenly

arms.
The tall, well-built man had a stern expression. And even when standing casually, his mere presence
commanded awe.
He held her gently, yet his sweeping gaze made people inexplicably shiver.
The piano piece “Fir Elise” was still playing, and everyone felt nervous.

away.

It turned out that young love didn’t always last.
The beauty of the past only highlighted the ugliness of the outcome.
Lucas evidently didn’t understand this truth.
Claire thought there was no need to ask. Everything already had an answer.
Her final plea was, “Can we start over?”
