Immediately, the guard hurried off to deliver the information.
The members of the Turner family were having breakfast in the dining room. Upon learning of Hilliard’s arrival, Mario and Presley exchanged glances, rose from their seats, and made their way out.
Jennifer dismissed the notion, deeming it a prank and not worth her attention.
For over a year, she had gone after Hilliard relentlessly, only to be met with his unyielding indifference. The constant effort to please him had drained her spirit.
She kept on eating, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of her parents escorting a tall figure into the room.
When she lifted her eyes to see who it was, she was left utterly dumbfounded.
They’d been acquainted for ages. Every time Jennifer laid eyes on Hilliard, he was so distant and exuded an air of coldness and arrogance.
She had never seen him rain-soaked. His hair clung to his face, as though he’d just stepped out of a shower.
Stunned, she gaped at him.
“What made you…”
Hilliard smiled.

It was like warm sunshine in winter and cool breeze in summer.
Jennifer’s heart raced as tears welled in her eyes uncontrollably.

For so long, she’d yearned for this.
But now, the desire to be with him had waned within her.
She dropped her head to hide her sadness.
The smile on Hilliard’s face faded away, replaced by a cold countenance.
Sensing a shift in the air, Presley intervened, smiling, “Jennifer, Mr. Simmons is away on business in Forden. Had a little mishap, lost his phone and all his money. He endured the rain throughout the night. He’s hoping to stay at our place for a couple of days.”
“Okay,” Jennifer responded with a cold tone.
She never would’ve thought that Hilliard would bear such hardship.
But he wasn’t here for her. Perhaps he deserved it.
