Chapter 2307
- The warmth lingering in the courtyard had not yet dissipated. The rustling of the ancient locust tree's leaves was as gentle as a slow melody, sunlight dappled across the stone table, and the faint fragrance of tea still lingered in the air. The understanding and tenderness from earlier still hovered in her heart. Amelia's fingertips still retained the searing warmth of Carl's palm, and the sorrow between her brows had just been soothed a little. She was still immersed in this rare tranquility, even her breathing was more relaxed than usual.
- But in this moment of peaceful serenity, a faint yet exceptionally clear vibration from her phone suddenly came from her pocket, shattering the quiet of the courtyard.
- The vibration was not loud, but it was like a tiny pebble suddenly thrown into the calm lake of her heart, sending ripples of unease spreading outward. Amelia's body stiffened almost imperceptibly, her hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and her once relaxed fingertips tensed again. The heaviness that had just faded from her eyes quietly resurfaced with a trace of vigilance.
