Summer Shawcross finished speaking, and Yancy Shaw nodded seriously, standing still on the spot.

His mature and handsome face, however, carried a hint of nervousness. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Seeing his serious look, Summer found it somewhat amusing. He seemed as if he was facing a significant moment in his life.

It was clear that the woman in his heart was indeed very important to him.

But unfortunately...

Thinking of this, Summer couldn’t help but sigh.

Hearing her sigh, the man standing beside her, full of alertness, turned his head to look at her, his face showing an expression of worry.

"What’s wrong? Is she unwilling to come out and see me?"

He suddenly recalled the way she had run away from him the other day, causing his heart to tighten with a pang of pain.

Seeing his worried expression, Summer shook her head, then handed a pair of Bluetooth headphones playing music to Yancy Shaw.

"Put these on, then close your eyes, and count to sixty in your mind before opening your eyes again."

Hearing this, Yancy took the headphones from her hand, though his expression showed a hint of confusion.

It was the first time he’d seen someone perform a ’ritual’ using such... electronic devices.

Though he was puzzled, he put on the headphones without hesitation. The loud music inside made him a bit uncomfortable, but he still followed Summer’s instructions, closed his eyes, and began counting in his head.

Seeing this, Summer breathed a sigh of relief, quickly walked over to the bathroom door, and gently knocked on the glass door.

The sound from the headphones was loud enough that Summer wasn’t worried about being overheard.

The bathroom door opened from the inside, and Sherry, dressed in a white long dress, slowly walked out.

The pure white dress, combined with her bare face without any makeup, made her look several years younger, like a recent college graduate entering society.

"Are you really okay with this?" Summer looked at her, asking worriedly.

She just noticed that Sherry’s face didn’t look so good.

Sherry turned her head, glanced at the figure standing quietly in the room with eyes closed, and her chest heaved up and down.

A few seconds later, she gently nodded.

Seeing her nod, Summer nodded too, then patted her on the shoulder and continued.

"Katherine and I will wait by the door!"

Sherry said nothing, just nodded again.

Summer turned to glance at Yancy Shaw, then gently turned and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.

...

The door shut tightly.

Sherry stood still for a couple of seconds, then slowly turned her head to look at the man standing there motionless.

After six years, it was her first time looking at him so closely.

Compared to his arrogant and high-spirited self six years ago, he seemed much more mature now, and his demeanor had become more composed.

Sherry hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward and slowly walked to stand behind Yancy Shaw, stopping her footsteps.

As the sixty seconds ended, Yancy removed the headphones from his head. Instead of immediately opening his eyes to look around, he took a couple of calm breaths to mentally prepare himself.

He took off the headphones and opened his eyes.
