It was warm that day, but Starry was frozen.


    She felt like drowning in an ice river that she couldn’t get out of.


    Jackie wanted to get rid of Edward but failed.


    After a few seconds, Edward took back his hand. Jackie wheezed, ncing at Starry coldly. “You knew better than anyone about what you have done, Starry! If I were you, I won’te here to annoy Sebastian even more.”


    Jackie went abroad half a year after Sebastian died. After the ident, Starry disappeared. The funeral was organized by Jackie and Edward. Jackie had heard a lot of stories of Starry since she came backst year.


    Starry’s life was splendid, while Sebastian was dead. That was unfair!


    Jackie didn’t want to say such words on such an asion if she didn’t happen to meet Starry today.


    She was angry, for herself, and for Sebastian.


    Sebastian was so good to Starry. If Starry didn’t argue with him that day, if she didn’t smash his phone on purpose, he wouldn’t have been locked in the storage room and burned to death.


    Starry caused his death indirectly.


    “Jackie!”


    Edward’s face was frozen. He grabbed Jackie aside and said from his teeth, “It wasn’t easy and she is finally getting better. Are you trying to kill her?”Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Edward kept his voice low, and at the same time nced at Starry.


    Jackie sneered. “Where was she the half year after your brother died? Look at her now, she is living her life. And you are speaking like she is a nice person. Do you even care about your brother?”


    “It was an ident.”


    “It won’t happen if it weren’t for her.”


    Jackie’s eyes turned red while arguing.


    Edward felt sad too thinking of the ident. “No one wanted it. Starry suffered too.


    “She doesn’t look like suffering. She had been the rich wife for five years. How did she suffer?”


    Edward kept his voice low, yet Jackie finally lost control of her tears.


    “Do you know why she married Filip then?”


    “For money. Everybody knows that!”


    Edward saw Starry staggered to the car and felt worried. He had enough of the argument. “Look at Filip carefully. Don’t you think he resembles my brother? His side faces.”


    After that, Edward ran to Starry without paying attention to Jackie anymore.


    Starry reached for the car door but failed to open it.


    Edward rushed over. “Starry, I’ll drive.”


    He looked at her very carefully while speaking.


    Starry was shaking. ncing at Edward, she said, “Alright.”


    “Starry, are you…”


    Edward looked at Starry, who was walking to the other side of the car. She lost her bnce. Seeing so, Edward subconsciously reached out, wanting to support her.


    Starry supported herself up with the car and refused Edward’s hand. “I am fine, just kind of cold.”


    But it was not cold today. It was sunny and warm.


    Edward took back his hand. He watched Starry get to the other side of the car and opened the car door with great force.


    Starry looked at Edward, “Get in.”


    Then, she got into the car.


    It was kind of muggy inside the car, yet Starry was still cold.


    Edward looked at Starry from the driver’s seat.


    Starry frowned a little. “What’s wrong?”


    “Seatbelt, Starry.”


    Only then did Starry realize that she didn’t fasten her seatbelt.


    “Alright now.” She put in on.


    Then she leaned back like a deted balloon.


    Starry closed her eyes slightly and looked out of the car window with her head sideways unfocused.


    Edward pursed his lips and started the car after a while.


    Jackie watched the ck car drive out of sight. Edward’sst words kept repeating in her mind.


    She took out her phone and searched for Filip’s photo, but there was none.


    Jackie bit her lip, turned around, and walked towards the cemetery with the flower.


    There was a bunch of roses in front of Sebastian’s tombstone. She didn’t need to think to know who had put them there.


    She frowned, put her flowers down, and picked up the roses. “You better not ept anything from Starry.”


    There were many people in the cemetery today. Jackie stood in front of Sebastian’s tombstone for a while, then left with the roses.


    “Filip.”


    Hearing such a sound, Jackie looked back subconsciously.


    She just happened to see a man with his head lowered, whom she had almost thought to be Sebastian for a moment.


    Jackie was so stunned.


    Noticing the gaze, Filip frowned and looked over.


    At a nce, he saw the bouquet of roses in the woman’s hand, which Starry brought.


    Filip looked in the direction of the tombstone again. As expected, the roses were gone, reced by a bouquet of white asters.


    Florence noticed Filip’s gaze and nced in Jackie, only to find that it was a strange woman.


    “Do you know her?”


    “Nope.”


    He said and walked to Jackie. “The roses aren’t yours, right?”


    Jackie came back to her senses.


    She raised her head and met Filip’s cold eyes, saying with aplicated expression, “No.”


    “They belong to my friend, give them to me.”


    He sounded cold, harsh, and somewhat oppressive.


    Jackie snorted. “Alright, take them then!”


    She threw the rose in her hand into Filip’s arms and walked away in high heels.


    She didn’t believe that Starry married Filip because he looked like Sebastian. Even if that was true, what could it change? b


    Sebastian had died for so many years. What was the point of all these?


    Ridiculous!


    The Pearsons were all surprised by Filip’s behavior.


    Frances said she wouldn’t care about Filip’s affairs. So, she left with Martha without asking.


    Florence walked over, “What’s the matter with you? Why did you ask a stranger for roses?”


    Filip nced at the rose in his hand, “Those are not hers.”


    “Whose then?” Florence asked subconsciously.


    Filip didn’t answer. He nced at Florence and continued to walk with the roses in his hand.
