WebNovelChapter 492 That night, I lay restless in bed. I was unable to fall asleep. The message from the stranger replayed in my mind.
Those words were like a ray of sunshine, piercing through the darkest corners of my heart. Even in my most helpless and sorrowful moment, someone out there still cared for me. Perhaps I wasn't as alone as I thought. Even if Ethan was gone, life had to go on. I couldn't give up so easily. I needed to pull myself together.

"I'm fine. I just needed stto clear my head and think things through," I said with a smile. "From now on, I won't let anyone or anything bringdown. Evelyn Stuis my everything." "That's great.

"To be honest, I don't really believe in it. Love takes tto grow and goes through trials." "You're absolutely right," he replied almost immediately. "That's why'd like to invite you for dinner, to chat, and get to know each other better. What do you think?" My heart skipped a beat at the sudden invitation.

The next evening, I dressed appropriately and made my way to the restaurant. It was a beautifut place with a calm ambiance and soft candlelight. Romantic music was playing in the background.
