When Thalia woke up, it was already the next day.
She looked at the empty living room and suddenly sat up on the sofa. She quickly ran upstairs toward the study.
She pushed open the door to the study, only to see a cup of unfinished coffee and a trash can filled with discarded papers.
She knelt on the ground, poured out the discarded papers from the trash can, and unfolded them one by one.
Each piece of paper contained a sketch of a wedding dress. Some of them were half-completed. Some only had a veil...
As it turned out, everything that happened last night was not a dream. Adam was indeed designing the perfect wedding dress she dreamed of...
Thalia smiled and put the discarded papers into the drawer of her own desk, as though they were her most precious treasure.
When she was about to close the drawer, she saw a document in there.
The smile on her face gradually became sorrowful.
It was the document that her company had filed for its stock market launch.
Cloud-Umbra was a jewelry design company that she founded. It had been around for three years. A month ago, it finally became a publicly-traded company.
She thought that her career would make up for the disappointment she felt from her failed marriage. But she didn't expect that she would be diagnosed with stomach cancer as soon as Cloud-Umbra became a publicly-traded company.
Now, she had less than three months to live. What would happen to the company?
Thalia sat at the desk for a long time. Eventually, she stood up, took all her company's documents, and took a taxi to the Cloude family's residence.
When Mrs. Cloude saw her, she was very shocked.
Thalia walked into the yard with a faint smile on her face. "Mom, am I not welcome home?"
Mrs. Cloude snapped out of her reverie and said, "Of course you're welcome. Come in and take a seat. How do you find the time to visit us today? Aren't you busy with your company?"
The look on Mrs. Cloude's face was cheerful. As it seemed, she was indeed happy to see Thalia come home.
Thalia stepped into the house. She looked at the white hair on Mrs. Cloude's temples and said in a low voice, "Mom, I will divorce Adam soon. Although I was the one asking for a divorce, I still feel awful..."
