Chapter 156


    He whispered, “I miss her too, Snow, but she doesn’t want to see me. What do we do when your


    mom has given up on us?”


    His voice was low, with the hoarseness of fatigue. There was an unspeakable sorrow lurking in his


    eyes.


    It seemed like Snow understood him, as he bitn’s pant leg and tugged him towards the door.


    “Snow, what are you doing?” he asked.


    Snow barked at him a few times, then kept pulling. It was only then thatn understood what Snow


    was trying to say. He wanted to see ra.


    Snow, upon hearing this, excitedly circled around him.


    The warm glow of an amber light shone from the balcony. He guessed she was probably sitting


    there on the couch, alone, digesting the day’s events. He could almost see her petite figure, curled


    up on the couch.

    The chill of the night air made her shiver, despite that, she couldn’t be bothered to fetch a nket.


    ra was always like that when she was upset.


    Snow nodded and barked in response.


    Then,n keyed in the code to ra’s room, allowing Snow to enter on his own. He gripped the


    doorknob tightly, his hesitation palpable, but ultimately he closed the door gently behind the dog.


    For a moment, he wanted to rush in and wrap ra in his arms tofort her, but his better


    judgment prevailed.

    She didn’t want to see him now. Seeing him would only remind her of all the pain he’d caused.


    bitterness.


    He heard ra’s surprised voice, “Snow, how did you get here?”


    He also heard Snow barking and its yful whine as it interacted with ra.


    All of these moments used to be his. He had seen these happy scenes every day,


    but he had lost them all.


    When ra saw Snow, her mood instantly improved. She took the bag from Snow’s neck and saw


    the apple crumble and a note inside.n’s strong handwriting stung her eyes. [I have to go abroad


    for work. Snow will stay with you for a few days. He misses you. Tell Snow to be good and listen to


    his mom. Daddy will be back in a few days with gifts.]


    Back then, ra felt so content. Even if they never married, and never had kids, as long as they


    had Snow andn continued to love her, she felt content. But now, she realized it was all wishful


    thinking on her part.


    Tears welled up in ra’s eyes as she hugged Snow, showering the dog with kisses. They bathed


    together, then climbed into bed. With Snow by her side, ra felt much better and soon drifted off


    to sleep.


    However, a nightmare woke her in the middle of the night. She dreamt of that morning, cornered in


    the ssroom, her clothes being torrf. People pointed at her, called her shameless, just like her


    mother. Then they took photos with their phones.


    ra sat up in bed, gasping for air. She felt like the room was suffocating her.


    Barefoot, she ran to the balcony. She meant to open the window for some air, but as she pulled it


    halfway, she saw a tall, imposing figure standing in the dark of the night.


    At the same time, the shadow also saw her.


    And just like that, their gazes unexpectedly collided in the night sky.
