Jessica Webb didn't even have time to say thank you before he had already left, not looking back once, nor taking a single lingering step.
She remained stiff on the sofa… her expression dazed as she watched the door Edward Noah Jackson closed when he left.
The villa was very quiet… so quiet there wasn't a single sound.
And this silence almost made her believe that everything that had happened today was just an illusion…
Had Edward Noah Jackson truly appeared at all?
The pain in her feet told her it was all real.
However… thinking about Edward Noah Jackson's indifference once again, Jessica Webb felt somewhat odd inside.
The man she saw now seemed completely different from the one who, over a year ago, had asked her to come back in an email, promising to change for her.
She didn't know why, but there was a sense of loss deep down…
Was it because she understood too late, and came back too late?
