Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 303

Grace’s utensils clattered to the floor.

This was…

This was C.

It was a line of code she had written in a love letter to Ethan on their wedding anniversary, years ago.

He had later mocked it as “the unromantic gesture of a science geek.”

But besides her, only one other person knew about this.

Damien.

This building was his.

This message was from him.

He was declaring to the world that he was waiting for her.

“Damien… you fool.”

Grace covered her mouth, sobbing uncontrollably.

“Didn’t you promise not to look for me?”

On the television, the news anchor was reporting in a standard, professional tone:

“Damien Clarke, Chairman of the Clarke family, announced today the global launch of ‘Project Homecoming,’ a plan aimed at funding the return of overseas research talent to start businesses in the country. It is reported that the initial investment for this plan is as high as ten billion dollars…”

Homecoming.

He was telling her: if you want to come back, home is here, and no one will dare to bully you again.

Grace looked out the window at the dark night sky.

Suddenly, a firework exploded in the distance.

Though it was just one, lonely and solitary, it illuminated half the sky.

“Happy New Year.”

She whispered into the air.

“Happy New Year, Damien.”

***

Across the ocean.

Jarrow City.

Damien stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, watching the fireworks light up the sky.

He held his phone, the screen displaying a photo just sent by Ivy Dawson.

In the photo was a bowl of peas, with the line of code on the TV screen in the background.
