Payton heard their conversation and stopped them.
He didn't mean to stickybeak, but Payton was sensitive.
Recently, except for work, Joshua focused on searching for Anika and squashing Trent's
company.
Payton thought these behaviors were not just because Joshua hated Anika.
As the days passed, Joshua never gave up searching for Anika.
On Christmas Eve, the snow fell in thick flakes.
In the past, Anika and Joshua would go back to the Conan's mansion for Christmas
Together.
However, Joshua had to go back alone this year.
When Anika disappeared not long, Joshua would talk and laugh with
others. However, Joshua almost sat alone now and didn't want to communicate with others. He
was filled with a cold aura and people didn't dare to get close.
Joshua came to the dinner party hurriedly and soon came back to Rafter Villa
Outside Rafter Villa,the fields were white and the view was beautiful.
But Joshua always had a sense of emptiness.
Joshua stood in front of the window wall and lit a cigarette.
"Anika, you'd better never meet me again."
Behind him,the door was pushed open.
Joshua turned around Rachel went in with a luxury dress.
"Joshua,what's wrong with you?After Anika died, you've changed a lot."
Joshua didn't think so.
He had never changed!
Rachel couldn't help but ask, Do you love Anika?But she died."
Joshua answered without hesitation," She's not worth it."
Rachel still wanted to say something, but Joshua refused to communicate.
Rachel finally left.
Joshua sat in the living room alone and started to drink.
He didn't know how much he drank. He didn't stop until he was wasted.
There was an air conditioner in the house, but Joshua felt he was so cold. "Anika, Anika..."
It was midnight. The clock rang.
Joshua woke up from his dream. He thought he saw Anika.
But when he reached out his hand, it was empty.
At the same time,at Lagoon Villa, Valentin didn't sleep either..
His phone kept ringing. It was Violet. Valentin didn't answer,so Violet texted him.
Valentin didn't even want to check the messages. He just turned off his phone. Then, he took out the jade pendant on him, held it tightly, and touched it softly * Four years later.
At Holtswich Airport.
Two adults and a kid drew many people's attention.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
The young woman had long hair with a simple hairpin.
She wore hearing aids. She had a delicate face and a pair of vivid but deep eyes.
Besides her,there was a three or four years old boy with sportswear. He looked noble and
elegant.
There was a piece of financial newspaper in his hand. He was reading it.
And Clare who was over 50 years old sat next to the little boy.
"It's time to leave.Evan, you have to be good at home with grandma, okay?"Anika glanced at
her phone and felt Evan Carey's head.
Hearing this, Evan immediately put away the newspaper and hid the page about
Joshua.Then he said seriously, I'll be a good boy!"
Evan was just 3 years old but acted like a teenager.
Anika looked at Evan's face, which looked familiar with Joshua's face. She hugged Evan
reluctantly and said, "And you have to take care of your brother."
Besides them, Clare patted her shoulder and said.
'Don't worry. I'll take care of them."
Anika nodded, took her package, and got on the plane to Oasisville.
In the first class on the plane.
