The passenger seat of that car, half covered by the window, revealed a handsome face. Even in the dim street lights, Hailey recognized who he was.
She froze for a few seconds, then hurriedly trotted towards the car in her high heels.
"Garrett."
Her voice trembled as she called his name.
The man in the car smirked, "Hailey."
His voice made Hailey's eyes glisten with tears: "What are you doing here?"
These past few days, whenever she called Garrett, either his phone was off or he didn't answer. She even went to B City to look for him, but he refused to meet her.
His coldness made it seem like he wanted to cut ties with her completely.
She thought she would lose him forever, but surprisingly, he showed up on the day Bernard proposed to Eleanor.
Did this mean Garrett was keeping tabs on them all along and just never bothered them?
Garrett reached out to catch a snowflake outside the window, his eyes were filled with unvanishing sorrow.
He stared at the snowflake melting in his hand, and after a moment, he finally responded to Hailey, "I was just passing by, saw the beautiful scene here, and decided to take a look."
Passing by?
Who the hell would go out of their way to pass by a place so far from the city center?
Hailey naturally didn't believe him, but she didn't call him out on it; she only asked with teary eyes, "I heard you're getting engaged?"
Garrett gave a bitter smile and said, "Yeah, getting engaged."
There was no hint of joy in his smile.
Hailey felt terrible. "You're not getting engaged just to let Eleanor and Bernard be together, are you?"
