The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1048

"Bright Town."

When Elijah spotted Amber approaching, he quickly walked over to her, his usual stern demeanor softening into one of warmth and politeness as he took the items from her hands. "What took you so long?"

Feeling his grip on her hand, Amber chuckled lightly, "I wanted to pick up some gifts for your parents, got a bit held up."

"You didn't have to, your presence is more than enough."

As Amber glanced at Octavia still kneeling on the ground, she inquired, "Who's that?"

"Just a passerby."

Elijah shrugged off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders, "It's getting late, let me show you around. My mom will be moving back in soon."

"Sounds good."

Octavia, witnessing Elijah's tenderness towards someone else, something she had once exclusively enjoyed, couldn't help but regret her decisions. Had she known Elijah would rise again, she might not have severed ties with the Ulbricht family.

But who could predict the future?

Amber, well-acquainted with Elijah, guessed that Octavia was here to beg for mercy. The only mystery to her was whether Elijah still harbored any feelings for Octavia.

In the end, it didn't matter. She and Elijah were married now.

Elijah led Amber into the Ulbricht residence.

"Bright Town, can't you spare us?" Octavia pleaded humbly, "What do you want me to do?"

Elijah didn't stop walking, "Octavia, this is simply tit for tat."

"Stay out of my life from now on."

With a loud thud, the door to the Ulbricht residence shut. Octavia remained kneeling outside, unable to leave for a long time.

Noticing Elijah's dampened spirits, Amber set aside the gifts and turned to him, "Bright Town, are you—"

"It's been a while since I've been home." Elijah cut her off, his eyes filled with nostalgia. "After three years, I've finally returned."

The Ulbricht mansion had changed hands and undergone many alterations. Remembering every inch of the original setup, Elijah had it restored to its former glory.

"Amber, it's over between me and Octavia." Elijah sensed Amber's concern. "From the moment we got married, we became a family."
