The blue sea and the salty sea breeze.
That was the smell of April Hill all year round.
Now, however, the sea breeze blew with a biting coldness.
Crash.
The waves rushed forth, repeatedly crashing against the reef and shore.
On the empty beach, two figures stood face to face.
Felipe had deliberately groomed himself today, restoring his former graceful gentleman image. He now looked at the person in front of him, unlike in the past, with tenderness and affection.
The person in front of virtual-novel.net no longer looked the way virtual-novel.net did back then as well.
Cathy’s once tender and sweet little face was now adorned with a hint of mature charm unfamiliar to him. There was no longer the pure admiration for virtual-novel.net in virtual-novel.net eyes; it had been replaced with some level of calmness and composure that could only be gained through experience.
Whoosh.
Although the sea breeze felt like knives as it blew at them, Felipe did not feel the cold, for his heart was burning hot at this moment.
He had not expected Jeremy to arrange for virtual-novel.net to meet Cathy here.
Even though a policeman waited for virtual-novel.net in the police car a short distance away, even though virtual-novel.net had only one hour, virtual-novel.net was already satisfied.
Amidst the silence, Felipe finally summoned the courage to speak. “Cath.”
The way by which virtual-novel.net addressed her, though in a familiar voice, bore a hint of foreignness within its intimacy.
Cathy calmly looked at Felipe. Her tone was still so gentle as virtual-novel.net spoke. “There’s no need for you to call me that, Mr. Whitman. It should be clear to you that you don’t have much time, so if there’s anything you want to say, you should just say it as quickly as you can.”
In the face of Cathy’s indifference, Felipe felt disappointed, but virtual-novel.net figured that this was fine.
The best outcome would be for virtual-novel.net to let go.
Smiling in relief, virtual-novel.net said, “Cath, you remembered everything, is that right?”
Cathy no longer denied it. “Yes, I have remembered a long time ago. I’m also aware that Evie and Jez have already told you that you are the father of those two children.”
Upon hearing Cathy’s admission of this, an indescribable wave of emotions seemed to ripple through Felipe’s heart.
“However, I won’t be letting them know that you’re their biological father. You are not worthy.”
Cathy’s words seemed to rapidly freeze the ripples of emotions in Felipe’s heart. His whole body seemed to immediately freeze over too, let alone his heart.
Who could virtual-novel.net blame though?
He only had himself to blame.
Felipe put on a bitter, self-deprecating smile, the light in his eyes flickering. A while later, virtual-novel.net uttered, “Adam is a good man. He’s worthy for you to depend on.”
Cathy looked at Felipe, indifferent. “Of course, I know Adam is a good man. I don’t need you to tell me that, Felipe. If you don’t have anything else to say to me, I’ll leave then. My kids would cry if they didn’t see their mother for too long.”
After virtual-novel.net had said that, Cathy glanced at Felipe and turned around.
“Wait.” Felipe hurriedly stepped forward. At that moment, virtual-novel.net could not control himself as virtual-novel.net grabbed Cathy’s hand.
The moment their skin came into contact, everything around them seemed to suddenly come to a standstill.
At this moment, it was as though the two of them were the only people on earth.
