Looking at the faint tears in Julian Keaton’s eyes, Cecilia Lynch felt even more distressed.

She really wanted to selfishly stay by his side and never part from him again.

However, she couldn’t.

If they continued to stay in contact, it would ruin him!

Cecilia Lynch responded, choking on her words, "Okay, I’ll leave first, Julian... goodbye..."

After she finished speaking, she didn’t move her feet.

She still stood there, looking deeply at Julian Keaton.

One glance, a thousand years.

After this separation, they would really never meet again!

He was the high and mighty Young Lord of a large company, while she was just a little girl worried about making a living.

Their life’s paths were completely different — she couldn’t go to the places he went to; he wouldn’t fancy the places she went to.

They would never meet again.

Cecilia Lynch kept a smile on her face, wanting to leave Julian Keaton with something other than her tear-streaked face.

Julian Keaton was always like that, always appearing strong and as if he could destroy everything, but in truth, he was exceedingly kind-hearted.

Being able to have a brief romance with such a man was a blessing from above!

Some beautiful dreams, once awakened, must end. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

With a heavy heart, Cecilia Lynch turned around and continued down her own path.

Every step forward felt like stepping on the tip of a blade, the pain piercing her heart.

Yet she had to pretend as if nothing had happened, walking confidently and freely, without any hint of reluctance.

Only then did she realize that when overflowing with attachment, the only outward expression was heartlessness.

Cecilia Lynch covered her mouth, preventing herself from sobbing out loud.

Again and again, she told herself in her heart that this was the right thing to do, and she had to persist.

In the future, when she saw Julian Keaton living well, her life would be fulfilled.

As long as he was well, that was enough!

Everything else, she no longer dared to hope for.

Julian Keaton stood there, watching Cecilia Lynch’s silhouette, countless times wanting to step forward and hold her in his arms, but ultimately restraining this despicable thought.

He couldn’t.

He couldn’t continue allowing her to sacrifice for him.

Her youthful years called for a normal life, such a minor request.

How could he... ask her to sacrifice her own life to be with him?

Even when Cecilia Lynch’s silhouette had disappeared, Julian Keaton remained in place.

He seemed to be waiting for Cecilia Lynch to return.

Yet deep down he understood, she would never come back.

Their relationship... was over!

The sun was blazing, the sunlight fiercely falling on Julian Keaton, as if trying to roast him, a stream of sweat trickling down the contours of his face, and an intense bitterness surged through his heart, sweeping through every cell in his body...

Life seemed to have returned to normalcy, with Evelyn Morgan facing a pile of tasks assigned by Caden Lockwood every day, without the right to say "no."

Countless times she regretted, thinking she shouldn’t have come for the internship.

Yet countless times she resolved that she must make Caden Lockwood see her differently!

What made Evelyn Morgan the happiest was that Cecilia Lynch was doing well.

Cecilia Lynch already had plenty of part-time experience, often going all out to sell products and earn commissions.

Now, the experience she accumulated turned into a powerful weapon; along with her good looks, swift actions, and polite speech, her performance was excellent.

Every time she thought of Cecilia Lynch, Evelyn Morgan’s lips curled up with a broad smile.

She had always said Cecilia was a rare talent, and definitely, hiring her would be a profitable decision for Caden Lockwood.

Seeing Cecilia Lynch gradually walk out from the shadows cast by Julian Keaton, Evelyn Morgan felt relieved.

Compared to Cecilia Lynch, Evelyn Morgan felt utterly lacking.

At this moment, Evelyn Morgan saw Shannon Dunn approaching, and her heart tightened involuntarily.
