Audrey’s phone rang.
“Audrey.” Evans’s voice came from the phone. “It’s snowing in the capital. Can you see it?”
Audrey looked up blankly at the gradually increasing snowflakes and said, “Yes.”
Evans smiled and said, “The first snow has fallen in the capital. Do you remember…”
Audrey stared blankly at the flying snowflakes in the sky and replied, “Evans, thank you for always being by my side, but…”
Evans was stunned for a moment. Soon, the gift box in his hand fell to the ground.
“This is your choice?” Evans’ heart ached.
Tears welled up in Audrey’s eyes. “I’m sorry.”
Audrey choked up. “It’s only today that I know who I love.”
“He’s your brother!” Evans broke down and said, “Audrey, do you know what you’re saying?”
Audrey wiped the tears off her face and said, “I know.”
Evans’ lips quivered. After a long time, he smiled bitterly. “If we had met earlier, would you have fallen in love with me?”
Audrey closed her eyes. “I don’t know.”
Evans finally said, “Audrey, I wish you happiness.”
Audrey hung up.
The matter on the Internet continued to ferment. Audrey didn’t go on Weibo again and chose to turn off her phone.
She knew that soon, Anthea and the others would call her and urge her to go home for dinner or ask her what was going on online.
Perhaps everything she was experiencing now was because she had changed the original rules of this world.
Audrey went to a tavern.
The persons beside her turned into countless layers of afterimages. Audrey’s hand trembled, and the wine bottle in her hand immediately shattered on the ground.
The displeased voices of others could be heard from the side.
The dazed Audrey wanted to raise her head to explain something, but the alcohol made her collapse weakly in her seat.
The person who was looking for trouble wanted to do something bad to her. Suddenly, a pair of well-defined hands grabbed his shoulders tightly.
That person cursed as he turned around. When he saw that the man behind him had a vicious expression on his face, he could not help but fall silent.
“Get lost.”
The man hurriedly ran away in fear.
Audrey found the voice somewhat familiar. She struggled to raise her eyelids to see something, but all she saw was a blurry figure.
Soon, she fell into a warm embrace.
When midnight arrived, the entire Imperial Capital was immersed in the roar of fireworks.
Audrey woke up under such circumstances.
She stared blankly into the pitch-black interior.
The fireworks outside lit up the room.
She looked to the side in a daze—a tall figure was standing quietly by the window, motionless.
Flames bloomed in the air, then disappeared in an instant. The flickering light was reflected on Eric’s handsome face again and again.
He leaned against the window and silently looked at Audrey on the bed.
The two of them did not speak, as if they were in a silent confrontation.
After an unknown period of time, Audrey suddenly smiled.
“Second Brother.” Audrey’s voice was hoarse.
Eric looked sideways at the beautiful fireworks outside and said, “It’s Christmas today, so I came back.”
The side of his face lit up under the illumination of the flames, making him look unreal.
Audrey couldn’t help but lower her head and fall into endless silence.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little strange. Neither of them said anything else. All they could hear was the roar of fireworks.
Soon, Audrey’s eyes burned.
Bean-sized tears fell from her fair and flawless face, soaking a dark water stain on the blanket.
Eric seemed to notice Audrey’s abnormality. He was about to move forward when Audrey suddenly said, “Don’t come over.”
Eric froze on the spot.
Audrey wiped the tears off her face.
Eric was silent for a long time before he finally turned around and left the room.
For the next few days, Audrey and Eric didn’t meet again.
The villa they were in was built halfway up the seaside. There were no other residents around.
Apart from the part-timers who came to work regularly every day, Audrey couldn’t see a third person.
Eric didn’t seem to want to agitate her. He didn’t appear in front of her for a few days.
Audrey temporarily had no intention of taking the initiative to look for him.
Every day, when the sun rose, she would stand on the terrace and stare blankly at the endless sea. Even if the weather was bad, she could watch the snow outside for the entire night.
A week passed, but Audrey had no intention of charging her phone.
She didn’t want to see any news about herself online.
