Chapter 839: Chapter 857: Side Story - Suddenly Missing You (1)

I’m not perfect, but I’m one of a kind.

Whether cherished or not, it doesn’t matter.

If one day you lose me, I won’t let you find me again.

Be it friendship or love.

If I leave, there will be no reunion.

There are three things in this world that you can’t get back once lost: time, life, and me.

Elijah Smith VS Ella Adams: "Suddenly Missing You"

.....

Christopher Bell organized a reunion tonight at "Magnificent," inviting almost all of his old classmates from Starhaven University.

He had organized such events many times before, and even after Elijah Smith was released from prison, Christopher had invited him, but this was the first time Elijah had come.

Elijah Smith didn’t arrive precisely on time. When he entered, people inside "Magnificent" had already gone through three rounds of drinks. The waiter knocked on the door first, opened it, and let Elijah in: "Sir, please come in."

The room was bustling, and as soon as Elijah stood at the doorstep, the sharp-eyed Christopher saw him and called out, "Elijah!"

Then the entire private booth became quiet.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Elijah, and surprise was written on all their faces.

Elijah understood what such astonishment represented.

His three years in prison burdened him with a huge stain, especially in the eyes of his classmates who had graduated from Starhaven University with bright futures ahead of them.

There was a momentary freeze in the atmosphere before Christopher stood up, walked over to Elijah, and said, "Elijah, long time no see."

Elijah remained calm, appearing not to notice the waves of emotion that surged in the eyes of his old friends. He just gave a faint smile, nodded, and replied in a smooth tone without any ripple, "Christopher, it’s been a while."

Once, Elijah Smith wore the halo of the heir to the Smith Corporation. Although the company was in decline at the time, he was still considered a genuine second-generation rich among his classmates from various non-wealthy families across the country at Starhaven University.

Back then, Elijah was generous, always picking up the tab for class gatherings without batting an eye, seemingly well-liked by everyone.

Five years later, even though he had now started his own company and was respectfully called "CEO Smith" by hundreds of employees, his criminal past and time in prison made him less popular among these nationally renowned university graduates who had better job prospects.

So Elijah understood the warmth and coldness of human relationships.

However, Christopher, who had grown up with Elijah, didn’t hold such disdain towards him. In fact, after Elijah spoke, Christopher looked him up and down before extending his hand to embrace him, his face filled with the emotions of reuniting after five years of separation and joy, calling out in the tone of their youth, "Bro."

Elijah’s heart trembled slightly, but his face remained calm and unwavering. He simply lifted his hand and gently patted Christopher’s back.

Men expressing deep emotions isn’t overly sentimental, so just a few seconds later, the two released each other. Christopher then led Elijah to sit down on the soft sand and even personally poured him a glass of wine.
