Chloe Roland's eyes suddenly lit up.
She saw Alexander Vance.
A light appeared in the darkness.
Her eyes instantly reddened.
"Brother, why is Mr. Vance here?"
Ryan Roland was also stunned.
He turned to look at Alexander Vance.
The man before him was completely different from the one in his memory.
He wore casual athletic wear.
He looked several years younger.
A gentle smile graced his face.
There was no trace of the past颓废.
He didn't look like someone who had just lost his wife at all.
Ryan suppressed his confusion.
He explained, "The Vance Group has expanded its projects to New York."
"Alexander arrived over a month ago."
Chloe frowned.
"Why isn't he in San Francisco with his benefactor?"
"He didn't attend Evelyn's first-week or third-week memorial?"
Ryan thought carefully.
It seemed he really hadn't...
Seeing Chloe's agitation, he advised, "The drive between cities is only six hours."
"Perhaps he went back."
"This is a private matter."
"I can't easily inquire."
Chloe's jaw tightened.
"He doesn't look sad at all."
Ryan coughed lightly.
"Not everyone shows their pain."
"Men often hide their grief deep inside."
"Someone as strong as Alexander is especially like that."
"Really?"
Chloe stared intently at Alexander.
"I can't see any sadness on his face!"
"That shows his inner strength."
"He is not only Evelyn's husband."
"He is also Eleanor Vance's grandson."
"If he remains stuck in grief, who will care for Eleanor?"
"Chloe, you should also try to forget Evelyn soon."
"Give our parents less to worry about."
Mentioning this, Chloe's eyes welled up.
"No!"
Tears rolled down.
"A person truly dies when no one remembers them."
"Brother, no one in San Francisco remembers her."
"No one around us remembers her."
"The only one who could remember her, her mother, is missing."
"If I forget her too, she will really be gone!"
Ryan was silent for a moment.
He whispered, "Chloe, I will remember her too."
"I know."
Chloe wiped her tears.
"This past month, you haven't said anything."
"But you've lost ten pounds."
"Brother, you liked her once, didn't you?"
Ryan didn't answer.
Chloe continued, "You only had a crush on her."
"Yet you lost ten pounds."
"But look at Alexander."
"He hasn't lost any weight at all!"
Alexander hadn't lost weight?
It was just that Evelyn had seen his sunken cheeks.
She had found ways to help him regain it in the past week.
Evelyn was the best at cooking.
Her meals were nutritious, balanced, and delicious.
Alexander was nurtured back to vitality.
A calm, confident smile graced his face.
He was completely different from the dazed man at the funeral.
So Chloe could tell at a glance.
He wasn't sad at all.
Ryan didn't know what to say.
This was someone else's private matter.
He couldn't just rush over because of Chloe's words and ask, "Mr. Vance, why haven't you lost weight?"
He coughed, wanting to defend Alexander.
Then he saw a woman with her back to them sitting opposite Alexander.
Ryan paused.
He instinctively looked at Chloe.
Sure enough, Chloe was wide-eyed with shock.
She stared at them in disbelief.
Before Ryan could speak, Chloe was trembling with anger.
"He... no wonder he moved on so quickly!"
"He found a new love!"
"Brother, do you see?"
"Our benefactor only passed a little over a month ago."
"And he already found someone new..."
"This is too much!"
Ryan remained silent.
His jaw tightened.
He tried to soothe her, "Perhaps it's just an illusion?"
"What illusion!"
"Stop defending him!"
"Actions speak louder than words!"
Chloe was so agitated tears streamed down.
"Our benefactor was so good to him when she was alive."
"She gave so much help to the Vance Group!"
"How could he treat her like this?"
Chloe's chest heaved with anger.
Her small face was pale.
"Look how happy he's smiling!"
"Brother, he has simply transferred his affection!"
"Chloe!"
Ryan couldn't help raising his voice.
"This is his freedom."
"You shouldn't judge him here!"
"Even if Evelyn were still alive, he has the freedom to stray!"
"No!"
Tears poured from Chloe's eyes.
"He can't stray!"
"How heartbroken would our benefactor be?!"
"I won't allow it!"
Chloe sobbed uncontrollably.
"Brother, I won't allow him to stray!"
"He can be busy with work."
"He can be obsessed with other things."
"But he cannot stray, brother!"
"How could our benefactor rest in peace like this?!"
Listening to her words, Ryan sighed silently.
He held Chloe's hand.
"Chloe, everyone walks their own path in life."
"You should learn from him."
"Try to move on soon..."
"No!" Chloe shook her head.
"I don't want to move on!"
"I want to remember our benefactor!"
"Our benefactor was so good."
"She deserves to be remembered by everyone in this world!"
With that, Chloe suddenly stood up.
"So, he cannot stray!"
"He doesn't deserve to stray!"
Ryan quickly stood up and followed behind her.
They headed towards Alexander and Evelyn's table.
Unfortunately, they had only taken two steps.
The people at the table had already finished eating.
Alexander had found Evelyn again after losing her.
His eyes and heart held only her.
Now, he held her by the waist.
The two of them, with their backs to Chloe, went out towards the parking lot.
Chloe chased closely behind.
Unfortunately, both Alexander and Evelyn were impatient people.
They walked very fast.
Chloe couldn't catch up no matter how hard she tried.
She arrived in the underground parking lot, breathless.
But there was no sign of the two.
She lowered her eyes in disappointment.
Bent over, she supported herself on her legs, gasping for air.
Ryan came up behind her and held her.
"You haven't eaten properly for so many days."
"Why are you running?"
"Low blood sugar, right?"
Chloe didn't speak.
Her eyes still searched everywhere.
Just then, a car's headlights turned on ahead.
It started slowly and drove past them.
Chloe immediately saw Alexander in the driver's seat!
She chased after it for two steps.
Then she saw the face of the woman in the passenger seat...
Chloe was instantly stunned.
