Victoria quickly left with her phone after speaking. Shepletely ignored ric’s unexpected push
and stumbled a few steps awkwardly.
On the other hand, he was speechless as he stood still to bnce himself and regain theposure
he lost earlier. He, on the other hand, stood still to steady himself and restore his nearly shattered
composure. The intense desire that had enveloped him gradually subsided. Reluctantly, he nced at
the spot where she had vanished while heaving a deep sigh..
She really doesn’t care, does she? A gentle push will have sufficed.
He felt resentful but couldn’t bring himself to me her, so he redirected his anger toward the person
on the other end of the phone.
Who is so thoughtless as to call her at a time like this?
Victoria entered the bedroom and answered the call from the person whom ric deemedcking in
common sense. As the year drew to a close, her excitement was palpable after she received this call.
“Summer Jones,” Victoria said.
Even though Victoria’s memories had yet to be restored, she had frequently conversed with Summer
over the phely, thus rekindling their bond. Due to their once close rtionship, Victoria
subconsciously relied on Summer even after losing her memory.
During this period, Victoria also discovered another person–Fiona Garza,
Fiona was also within her social circle, but ording to Summer, Fiona was someone whom Victoria
had met abroad whereas Victoria and Summer were acquainted when they were studying locally.
Victoria could have been better; she still subconsciously relied more on Summer.
asionally, a jealous Summer would makements. “I’m your best friend. The one who has been
with you. the longest. Don’t forget about me just because you’ve found someone else.”
“I won’t,” Victoria repeated. She wouldfort Summer whenever this happened by saying. “Even
though I lost my memory, I haven’t forgotten about you.”
Summer remarked with a scoff, “You’ve clearly forgotten about me. You wouldn’t even remember who I
am if I
hadn’t called. Ah, let it go. It doesn’t matter, anyway. Discussing this won’t change anything since
you’ve lost
your memories too.”
They swiftly moved on to other matters to avoid dwelling on these issues.
However, Victoria enjoyed chatting with Summer and sharing daily anecdotes from their lives.
They discussed everything frompany issues to what they ate and did that day, which meant that
they were getting along well.
Victoria felt the utmost joy when she received this call. After she greeted Summer, she asked,
“Summer, it’s nearly the end of the year. Are you nning toe back?”
Summer clicked her tongue on the other end and remarked, “I had intended to surprise you, but it
seems impossible to keep a secret at year–end. Everyone seems to call to ask if and when I am
returning. Sigh…”

Amidst Summer’s resentful tone, Victoria surmised that Summer had likely been bombarded with
simr inquiries in recent calls. This prompted Victoria to let out a soft chuckle.
“Isn’t that normal? After all, everyone goes home for the New Year,” Victoria said.

“Who said so? There were times when I didn’t go home. Back then, I was working tirelessly to earn
more money…” Summer’s voice trailed off and when she spoke again, it was in a lower tone. “Forget it,
let’s not dwell
on that.”
Just as Victoria was about to say something, she heard what seemed to be an airport announcement in
the background, which caught her off guard. “Are you at the airport?” she asked.
“Yeah.” Summer confirmed, scanning her surroundings and meeting Audrey’s gaze by chance.
Audrey caught her eye and immediately shed a sweet smile at her.
Summer smirked and continued, “I’ll be boarding. See you soon!”
“Okay,” Victoria promised.
Recalling something, Summer added, “Maybe not today, though. I’ll probably arrive in the evening.”
Victoria was not expecting to meet Summer on the day of her arrival due to the long hours associated
with international flights. It would be well past midnight by the time Summer arrived, so Victoria decided
to stay the night at a nearby hotel near the airport. At least she could freshen up the next day before
meeting Summer
and her family.
“At night?” After Victoria asked for Summer’s flight number for checking, she replied, “Then I’lle to
pick you
up in the evening.”
“Don’t worry
about it.” Summer immediately declined the offer. “By the time I arrive, it’ll bete at night. You should
rest, and we can meet tomorrow.”

Victoria noticed Summer’s anxious expression, so she smiled and refrained from saying anything
further.
“I need to get ready for boarding now. I’ll give you a call tomorrow.”
“Okay, have a safe trip.” Victoria answered.
After hanging up, Audrey approached her as Summer was about to keep her phone and asked,
“Summer, is that your friend?”
Summer thought and replied, “She’s been my close friend for many years.”
“Did you meet during your school days?” Audrey felt curious about this.
“Yes.”
Audrey expressed a hint of envy. “That’s great. Most people I knew from school rarely keep in touch
anymore.”
Summer let out a softugh. “Who doesn’t? Many people drift apart, but she’s the only one who
remains.”
Once people entered the workforce, theymonly forgot about friends from their student days. To
reconnect after their marriage would be challenging because their circle of friends would shrink too.
Everyone would be so caught up in their hectic lives that it would be a stroke of luck if they asionally
remembered each other or exchanged wishes during holidays and special asions.
They chatted about various topics for a while before parting ways after boarding. Since they had
different. seats and destinations upon arrival, Summer nned to stay in a hotel near the airport for a
good night’s rest.
In contrast, Audrey had her familye to pick her up.
Therefore, Summer made up her mind not to trouble Audrey. Once they disembarked, she would head
directly to a nearby hotel to freshen up and rx.
The flight had been highly ufortable for Summer since it was a lengthy journey due to the long
layover in between. On top of that, when she arrived in Corynthea, she looked like she had seen better
days as the airline food was also not appetizing.
Audrey deliberately waited for her in the aisle as she stepped off the ne. “You don’t look well. Did
you feel
airsick?”
Summer waved her hand. “No, I’m just tired.”
“Ah.” Audrey sighed. “I’m feeling exhausted too. My family’s car is already here. Why don’t youe
with us? We can drop you off.”
Summer was not one to trouble those whom she was not close with. She did not know Audrey for long
and there was a chance they would not have any further contact once they left the airport.
“Never mind. The hotel that I booked is nearby, so I’ll hail a cab to take me there. It’d be too much
trouble for you guys.”
However, Audrey remained enthusiastic. “No, it’s not a problem. I’m mainly concerned about your well–
being. I’m worried that something might happen to you.”
Summer was about to say something else when her phone began to ring. “Sorry, I have to take this
call. You can head back now; I assure you that I’ll be fine.”
Yet, Audrey shook her head and just stood still.
Feeling slightly helpless, Summer retrieved her phone and was surprised that Victoria was calling.
“Hello?”
“Miss Summer, I’ve checked that your flight hasnded. I’ll be waiting for you at the exit.”
