Caesar was much more gentle and considerate than before.
He looked after Rose well. He spent the whole month accompanying her and didn't go to his casinos once.
However, Rose couldn't forgive him. Her innocent child disappeared from this world because of Caesar's love for Everly.
"Baby, do you like our new home in this style? I bought some flowers for the garden today."
"We will get married next spring when you are sound again. I promise to be good to you the rest of my life."
Caesar described Rose a beautiful future, which she once dreamed of before the tragedy.
Now, this blueprint couldn't arouse Rose's interests at all, and to make things worse, the existence of Caesar disgusted her.
"Caesar."
For more than a month, it was the first time that Rose spoke to Caesar.
"Yes!" Caesar was so hilarious that he felt like being hit by a prize in a lottery.
"Rose, are you thirsty? Or hungry? I am so glad that you talk to me now.¹

"I want to go abroad for fun."
"Okay! I will get your passport and visa ready. Where do you want to go? We can leave now."

Rose didn't go to bed. She revitalized after these days.
She looked up at the full moon on the balcony, feeling complex. The winter was here, and flowers in the garden already withered.
She had excited to be here. A few months passed, she had a different feeling now.
Caesar smoked in the courtyard instead of sleeping. He got addicted to tobacco in the past month.
Rose could smell the tobacco on Caesar from a distance, but he never smoked before her.
In the past month, Rose gained weight, while Caesar lost some. Rose was clear that Caesar had a bad time too.
However, she didn't know what to do with Caesar as she blamed herself too.
The sight of Caesar would keep reminding Rose of what Everly said and those photos.
Time didn't heal her misery but deepened it. She tried hard to forget that tragedy, but every detail became more vivid as time went by.

Adam dashed toward herself with a frown, while
