With a sullen face, Hartwell sat in the driver’s seat. She knew how he felt. Joslyn sighed heavily.


    “Don’t be mad. It’s ir’s choice. She can’t be with the man she loves the most, so she settled for this


    guy.


    ALL the other men mean the same to her.”


    Hartwell was good at hiding his emotions. He was quick with a smile when he had to be. It was his job.


    But he could be himself now. He pulled a long face and med the girl who was already on the ne.


    “Maybe it’s all the same to her, but there are still a ton of better men I could find for her. Why Miller?


    He’s nearly ten years older than she is. Even if age doesn’t matter, he’s still so mediocre. What was


    she thinking?” Hartwell was eager to find out who was the man ir really Loved. He wanted to know


    who had hurt ir, but no one told him about it. Adalson didn’t allow him to look into it, either.


    Joslyn, of course, knew the answer, but she said it wasn’t her secret to tell. She wouldn’t betray her


    best friend like that.


    Joslyn caressed his cheek and soothed him.


    “Okay, no more frowns. Look on the bright side. ir’s gonna be out of the country for three years. A


    lot can happen in three years. Maybe they will break up tomorrow. Then you can set her up with the


    perfect guy.”


    Hartwell gave her hand a gentle squeeze. His mood was a little better now.


    “Okay.”

    Ever since she set down in Ennd, ir had been busy with admission procedures and getting her


    bearings. A month Later, when everything had settled down, she finally had the time to hit the London


    streets.


    The weather was quite cool these days. She feltfortable walking outside.


    School life kept her busy, and she found it fascinating. Her ssmates were friendly, and always invited


    her to different events. All the better to practice her English. They even invited her to their family parties


    so that she could get a better handle on the local culture.


    Time flew by quickly. The New Year was just around the corner.


    In Alorith, Hartwell had juste back home when Wesley arrived at the


    Jenkins family’s house. The steward led Wesley inside. The two men engaged in small talk before


    heading upstairs to Adalson’s study.


    Adalson was practicing Chinese calligraphy in his study. He was a little surprised to see the two show


    up together. He gestured for them toe in, then greeted Wesley with a nod and asked his son,


    “Something up?”


    “Yeah, It’s about ir. I called her just now. She said she had a part-time job and would be staying


    there instead ofing back for the


    New Year. Dad, she’s been studying hard all the semester. I’m afraid she’ll get lonely if she doesn’t fly

    Adalson secretly nced at Wesley. He was pretty sure that would be a touchy subject. But Wesley’s


    face was as calm as usual, as if he hadn’t heard the name or it meant nothing to him.


    Adalson sighed inwardly, and said to Hartwell, “She’lle back. Your grandpa was pretty pissed when

    It was so quiet there. The silence felt oppressive. After a while,
