Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

With a smile, Raynee shook her head to say, "Thank you, you've been of great help!"

Their gazes met. With a smile, both of them could sense subtle changes in the atmosphere. Wyatt nodded and said nothing else. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a hint of a brochure stuffed in the bag in Raynee's hand. With another glance at her simple outfit, it was obvious that she did not pay much attention to her styling as before. It was a stark difference from her previous fashion sense. Sitting idly in silence was stifling, so Wyatt casually sparked up a conversation.

"You and Stephanie..."

Didn't they have a good relationship?

If he hadn't witnessed the situation with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed

it. Although Stephanie's outfit was rather casual without wearing any priceless jewelry, he felt like they were drastically different from each other.

After all, Raynee was the eldest daughter of the Wagner Family. Why did it seem as though she had suddenly changed into a different person?

Wyatt was confused.

Bitterly, she tugged the corner of her mouth and hesitated for a moment. As if to tell the truth, Raynee honestly spoke from the bottom of her heart without hiding anything from Wyatt, "In fact, I'm not the biological daughter of the Wagner Family. I'm just... an adopted daughter! How should I put it? I don't know whether I'm blessed or the opposite. When my parents adopted me, they were diagnosed by the doctors as not being able to give birth, so they adopted me as their biological daughter and raised me. To everyone's surprise, they were unexpectedly pregnant with Stephanie. Back then, I was sensible, and the public knew about my existence, ** so..."

Raynee pursed her lips sarcastically, while Wyatt immediately understood that even if the Wagner Family no longer wanted to keep her by their side, they couldn't abandon her so as to avoid criticism and embarrassment.

It was no wonder. It was no wonder he felt that with the degree of love Mr. and Mrs. Wagner had for Raynee, she shouldn't have ended up in such a state!

So that was how it was!

It was no wonder that she had risked her life to prove herself. It was no wonder that she would postpone the marriage to continue breaking through achievements. Although it was all glorious and glamorous on the surface, she must have felt uncomfortable and not at ease in the Wagner Family. There must have been no sense of security!

"It's all in the past. I'm grown up! The Wagner Family has raised me up. It's my duty to repay them. I owe them. I'll try my best to do what's within my reach, but I don't want anyone around me to be affected!"

She had seen through the selfish face of the Wagner Family, so she wouldn't allow the parasite to lay a finger on her friends again.

She had lost too much and was tired of half of her life. For the remaining days of her life, all she wanted was simplicity and happiness with a few sincere friends by her side. She didn't want others to carry an invisible pressure like her and end up leaving her out of hatred.

Quill was right. In the past, she had been too obsessed with certain things.

Just as she was about to speak, Raynee's cell phone rang. It was from Quill. Standing up to her feet, Wyatt proposed, "I'm going to buy you a bottle of water! There's no rush. Take a rest!"

"It's nothing, it's nothing. It's just a mild sprain. It has healed! It doesn't hurt. If there's durian ice cream in front of me right now, it wouldn't hurt anymore." Giggles were heard.

When he turned out of the aisle, Wyatt vaguely heard such a relaxed and pleasant talk and laughter.

After wandering around for a while on purpose, only then did Wyatt buy a bottle of water. When he walked out of the elevator and arrived at a corner, he saw a familiar figure running to the chair in a hurry. Immediately after, he noticed an ice cream box in Raynee's hand.

"Wow! Why are you here? You bought it for me!"

"I happened to be nearby. Didn't you say you wanted to eat it?"

Sitting on one side, Quill's eyes scanned her leg. One of her legs was wrapped with bandages. Since she couldn't wear her shoes, she was wearing the hospital's disposable slippers at the moment, barely hiding her swollen ankle.

"Is it going to be fine? Why are you so careless? Didn't I tell you to call me if anything happened?"

"It's fine! I accidentally sprained my ankle, that's all! I'll be fine after taking a rest for two days. It doesn't affect me much!"

Licking the ice cream with her gaze on the man beside her, Raynee experienced the happiness of being spoiled for the first time. In fact, Quill had always treated her well. Yet, she had no idea if she regarded his actions as out of habit or had always viewed him with

preconceived thoughts; it seemed as though she had never developed any feelings for him. For some unknown reason, however, Raynee could feel her heart inexplicably palpitating right then.

It felt good to have someone by her side! Wyatt was different from Quill! Right then, Quill felt like the former Wyatt, while she sensed a distant unfamiliarity with Wyatt she had once been close to.

"Don't eat too much of it. It's cold! It's enough to satisfy your cravings! Since you're dreaming of eating durians but don't want to stink, there are many other options! Drumroll!"

While speaking, Quill stood straight and picked up another larger bag.

"Durian pastry and durian cake! They're all freshly baked! It's a pity that I didn't have enough time. The durian crepe has to be reserved beforehand, or I would have been able to give you a few more..."noveldrama

Quill opened the box and let her choose. At the same time, he took out the small forks and tissues.

Biting the spoon of the ice cream,

Raynee felt the sudden urge to burst into tears, Throughout those years Quill had sacrificed too much for her! He was indeed a careful and responsible man! She used to be taken, but right then, he was calm enough to reassure her that he treated her as a friend!"

"Thank you!"

Raynee took a bite of the pastry with her eyes full of smiles. "Emm, it's delicious! Have a bite!"

Taking a piece over, he commented, "It has cooled. It'd taste better if it's warm."

He came in a hurry and ran into a bakery that had not many choices available. "By the way, how did you get here? I'll send you back!"

How could a wounded person suppress her pain and crawl over snail-like? Biting her lips, a thought crossed Raynee's mind as she explained, "A friend sent me here!"

Knowing that Wyatt had given her space to allow her to answer the phone, a feeling of emptiness flashed through her heart before it was replaced by satisfaction.

Sure enough, it was a loss and a gain!

If it were in the past, she would definitely feel uncomfortable. Right then, however,

Raynee felt at ease after viewing his actions from a different perspective.

"He's too much. Why did he leave you here and leave? Why didn't he help you till the end?!" Quill complained.

"I'll send you back after you've eaten!"

Raynee smiled with her eyes curved. She didn't say much and took the opportunity to send Wyatt a

message. Right then, Wyatt, whonet

Ito the

had seen the scene, returned elevator with the delighted image of

Raynee eating ice cream appearing in his mind.

There was only one idea in his mind.

"Buy milk tea for Waverly!"
