Chapter 808 Her Best Friend''s Happy Life


    One year ago, Belle did not make her appearance at Lottie''s and Rhys''s wedding ceremony. Lottie was


    pretty surprised back then and could not wrap her head around it.


    To make matters worse, she could no longer reach Belle as she never answered her calls.


    She wanted to return to A City and ask her why she didn''t attend her wedding ceremony but Rhys, who


    was usually gentle, stopped her and prevented her from returning with various measures.


    In fact, she was pregnant back then and perhaps due to her age, there were a fewplications and


    she had been hospitalized so that they could save the baby. Hence, Rhys was strongly against her


    returning for fear that she would be exhausted.


    It was not until she gave birth to the baby and rested for a month that she prepared to return. However,


    to her dismay, Rhys revealed the brutal news.


    Belle was already dead!


    At that moment, she was so shocked that she could barely utter a word. Only then did she understand


    Rhys''s painstaking efforts to stop her from returning and why he had done so.


    He was afraid that she could not bear the blow. It would be detrimental to her health as well as to the


    fetus if she was crestfallen.


    However, how could she ever bear the blow?


    Belle was such a kind and considerate woman. She was gone just like that. How could she possibly


    ept the fact? It was impossible.


    If that was the case, then was there really such a thing as justice?


    How could fate be so cruel?


    Grief overwhelmed herpletely and she could barely eat or sleep. Fortunately, Rhys was there to


    In fact, Rhys was also in anguish. However, this was Belle''s destiny. Apart from sympathizing with her


    fate, there was nothing he could have done.


    After all, they had to live on.


    Just a few days ago, they received a piece of shocking news. Belle was still alive! She appeared at the


    weing ceremony for the representative of Srirano together with Calvin.


    What great news!


    Lottie was over the moon.


    Seeing her in the exuberance of joy thrilled Rhys as well.


    "Rhys, I''m sure you know how I feel. I can''t stop worrying about her. She has faced so many hardships


    in life." Lottie heaved a sigh. There was sorrow in her voice.


    "Lottie, you are really kind-hearted. It''s no wonder you are Jen''s best friend." Rhys wrapped his arms


    around her shoulders andforted her in a gentle voice. "Don''t worry. Those who do good will live a


    long and happy life. Jen has faced many struggles and challenges. From now onwards, her life will be


    smooth and peaceful. She will live happily after. You must have faith that things will take a new turn.


    Jen is a kind soul who has always done nothing but good. She will be blessed. Don''t fret. From now


    onwards, her life will be better."


    Rhys''s pTristans of wisdom and encouragement always enlightened her at the right moment so that


    she was filled with hope. Even though life was harsh and filled with challenges, he always knew how to


    cheer her up and help her adopt a more positive outlook.


    This must have been the reason she chose to marry him. Lottie thought silently to herself.


    He was indeed her Mr. Right.


    "Rhys, I am also blessed to be able to meet you in my life." She raised her head and looked into his


    eyes. Her eyes twinkled and shone brightly with joy.


    Rhys shed her an elegant smile and pulled her into his arms.


    "Silly, it''s my blessing to be able to meet you."


    They stood in an embrace as they broke into a smile.


    "Sir, someone wants to see you. The person is waiting over here." A boy walked over from under the


    palm trees by the beach and handed him a piece of paper with a phone number and an address written


    on it.


    Rhys epted it in surprise. He was about to ask the boy about the other party''s identity.


    However, the little fellow had disappeared and was nowhere in sight.


    "Rhys, who wants to see you?" Lottie asked in surprise upon seeing the piece of paper with the


    address and phone number. She noticed the confusion that crossed Rhys''s features. It looked like


    Rhys had no idea who was looking for him as well.


    This was a small country, close to the maind. The economy was pretty developed.


    Lottie was pretty sure that they did not know anyone in the country.


    Rhys looked at the phone number again and the image of a person shed through his mind. He


    thought for a moment and smiled.


    "Lottie, it''s alright. I''ll go and have a look. Wait for me here."


    "Rhys, let me apany you. I''m worried about you," Lottie said earnestly, holding onto his shirt coyly.

    "It''s okay. Don''t worry. I promise I''ll be back soon. Trust me." Rhys stroked her hair and grinned before


    he walked away.


    Lottie knew that Rhys had learnt some martial arts before. However, for some inexplicable reason,


    something felt amiss as she watched him walking away. Nevertheless, it was only a while. She


    believed that everything would be fine.


    Tourists were having a great time taking photos beside an old-fashioned hut. The sound ofughter


    filled the air.


    Although he was still quite far away, he noticed the person at a nce. After all, they used to be


    acquainted. She had once followed him around and she was once head over heels for him. Hence, it


    was only natural that he still remembered her.


    They had not met each other for a few years. Alyssa had changed a lot.


    Although she sat quietly over there and was as beautiful as ever, he could still notice some differences


    as he approached her. She had gained weight and her cheeks were flushed. In a nutshell, she seemed


    fuller.


    Her shoulder-length hair was still curly and wavy. She wore a ck gown and her demeanor was still


    elegant.


    "Rhys, hi, I haven''t seen you for a long time." The moment she heard the sound of the approaching


    footsteps, she knew at once that it was Rhys. Although many years had passed, her heart still fluttered


    when she sensed him approaching. Being the man she used to love from the bottom of her heart, Rhys


    would always be someone important to her although she would only keep those memories to herself.


    She thought to herself and smiled as she turned around to greet him.


    Rhys seemed to know that it was her. He walked over and sat down opposite her. There was a faint


    smile on his face.


    Many years had passed. She had probably let go of her obsession.


    "I''m fine, what about you?" He sat down and picked up the ss in front of him to take a sip.


    Alyssa stared at him and said lightly, "Rhys, I''m surprised that you dare to drink it? Aren''t you afraid


    that I''ll poison you?"


    Rhys was caught off guard for a moment before he shed her a smile. "Even now, I still believe that


    you have a kind soul."


    Upon hearing what he said, Alyssa forced a smile.


    "Unfortunately, you don''t love me no matter what I do." She sighed in exasperation and her voice was


    self-deprecating. She seemed to be in low spirits.


    Rhys pondered for a moment.


    "Alyssa, everyone is different. We all have our purpose in life. This is destiny. We cannot force it," he


    said gently with an air of indifference.


    "I just want to say," Alyssa muttered to herself and let out a sigh. "Rhys, forgive me. I really didn''t want


    to shoot you back then, but if I hadn''t shot you, then my father wouldn''t have let you go. Fortunately,


    you survived."


    Rhys was slightly touched when he recalled the past and smiled. "Alyssa, I have never med you. If


    you had not shown me mercy, then the bullet would have pierced through my heart and I wouldn''t even


    be here right now."


    Alyssa was dumbfounded and eximed, "Rhys, you knew?" She looked a little abashed.
