After a long time—
—
A rain shower had lasted for over an hour.
The sky was completely dark.
The fresh scent of earth and grass wafted through the air, invigorating and refreshing.
Caiden Ward stood on the veranda, holding a cigarette, looking at a lotus in the pond not far away. Such a slender stem, yet it held a massive bud, and despite the storm, it remained unscathed.
Nature is truly miraculous.
He took the unlit cigarette out of his mouth and tossed it into the trash can a couple of steps away.
Just as he was about to return to his room, he heard footsteps approaching from afar.
The garden was too quiet after the rain, and those footsteps sounded like they were treading directly on his heart.
He saw Rosalie Tanny.
His charming peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and Caiden Ward's lips curved into a smile.
Rosalie Tanny came up to him, stood for two seconds with her lips pressed together, and smiled, "Kari, long time no see."
