Chapter 850: Chapter 868: Extra - Suddenly Missing You (12)

But today’s soy milk tasted eerily familiar.

Ella Adams wasn’t sure if it was the sudden encounter with Elijah Smith that was causing this illusion, so she took another sip.

The hint of milk and the slight sweetness of the beans that didn’t cloy, mimicked the flavors etched in her memory to a tee.

Ella tightened her grip on the ceramic cup, her eyes gazing out the night scene of the metropolis illuminated by the dazzling lights. Alone in the night like this, the tumultuous waves that stirred in her heart when she met Elijah Smith tonight, were once again uncontrollable and began to surge.

Five years ago, the person who held her hand and walked the streets and alleys of Bellshire was Elijah Smith, who took her to taste the hidden treats tucked away in the alleyways was Elijah Smith, the person who cherished and protected her in every way was Elijah Smith, who made her willingly surrender herself for a reckless love was Elijah Smith, and ultimately, the person who ruthlessly shattered her heart and trampled her feelings into a bloody mess was also Elijah Smith.

After being apart for five years, they were destined to meet again. She was no longer the innocent girl from Starhaven University who had yet to step out of the ivory tower, naively believing that love and the world were all beautiful.

Therefore, when facing him, she could quickly regain her composure and handle the situation as if dealing with a stranger, doing what she should do.

But after all, she couldn’t deceive herself. She didn’t know how to describe the emotions welling up in her heart; five years, she thought everything would fade away, but an unexpected encounter made her realize that everything fading away was just her wishful thinking, and she had never forgotten the person who still occupied her heart.

Turns out, there are many things that you can’t really forget just because you think you have.

...

The person Elijah Smith was co-operating with this time was called Clarence Cooper. Like him, he was a true Bellshire man. Originally, Arandalle was just a branch, but the profits these years far exceeded the main company in Bellshire, and then expanded from Arandalle to overseas. Thus, he settled in Arandalle for the last two years.

The next day, Elijah Smith and Clarence Cooper decided to have dinner together, at a renowned place in Arandalle known for serving local cuisine.

Over the years, Elijah Smith had shed much of his dandy habits and arrogance, becoming more punctual. Perhaps it was due to the habitual traffic congestion in Bellshire; he liked leaving an hour early for every social gathering. Consequently, in Arandalle, he retained this habit and arrived early by almost forty minutes due to the smooth traffic.

When Elijah Smith was waiting alone in the private booth, he felt understandably bored, so the waiter turned on the TV for him.

In front of him was a cup of fragrant and hot Green tea.

The program on the TV was a finance channel in Arandalle, the female host, with her exquisite makeup, sat in the broadcast studio and said: "Let’s welcome our mystery guest for today—"

It was a new program launched in the past two years. Every week, a business celebrity would be invited for an interview in the afternoon.

Elijah Smith didn’t care much about who the interviewee was today. He just glanced over after hearing the host’s announcement, and then he saw Ella Adams in an elegant pink dress, stunningly beautiful, walking out amidst applause.
