"Thank you." Jocelyn Morgan reached out to take it and closed the door. A beautiful day had begun—they had arrived last night.

This was the first outing for Jocelyn and Ian Shelby after getting together, and they had chosen a place with beautiful surroundings.

Ian usually has a lot of work pressure, so he came out to relax, and Jocelyn came out to seek inspiration.

Outside their room was a large balcony, separated by a glass door. On the balcony, there were sofa chairs, a coffee table, greenery, and a tea set.

A pair of large teddy bears sat on the sofa chairs, which were very popular among young people.

A truly poetic setup, Jocelyn particularly loved this place. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The carved wooden railings looked somewhat aged. Ian stood in front of the railing, hands resting on it, gazing at the beautiful scenery across the river.

"Breakfast is here!"

Jocelyn walked out of the glass door with a bag, came to his side, and said cheerfully, "It’s still warm, Dr. Shelby, hurry and eat while it’s hot, it’s good for your stomach~"

On the balcony next door, Vera Ford in a red outfit, stood in front of the railing with a pale face, listening to Jocelyn’s chatter.

She appeared calm, but a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes.

Just a wall away, Ian looked at the girl beside him with a gentle expression, took the bag from her, and said, "If one could live in a place like this forever, that would be a kind of happiness."

The moss-covered ancient bridge, the clear river water, the majestic city walls, all resembled a painting.

"Depends on who you live with," Jocelyn quickly replied.

"Of course with me."

Jocelyn met his gaze, smiling brightly, "That would be my honor."

On the adjacent balcony, Vera listened clearly to the dialogue between the young couple, and her mood, which had just calmed down in the morning, became agitated again.

"The fried dough sticks and soy milk here are famous, you must dip them to really enjoy," Jocelyn had done her homework before coming and was now teaching Dr. Shelby on the spot.

Ian imitated her, dipping the fried dough stick in soy milk, "The taste is indeed good."

The girl’s smile was contagious, and today he felt truly happy.

The two of them ate breakfast and chatted, their expressions gentle and filled with warmth.

Jocelyn stood beside him, eating and chatting, feeling very at ease...

On the railing in the next balcony, Vera deliberately ignored all of Ian’s voice, but Jocelyn’s voice kept swirling in her mind.

One sentence over another, eventually turning into a chaotic mess, causing Vera to hallucinate, she furrowed her brow, suddenly clutching her head as if it were about to split.

Her body tilted, and she sat down on the sofa chair.

Ian and Jocelyn’s conversation continued. It wasn’t actually very loud, just a normal exchange of words.

But in Vera’s ears, it was extremely noisy and piercing!

She turned and rushed into the room, threw herself onto the bed, and tightly covered her head!

Yes, she had secretly followed Ian here, though she couldn’t quite explain why, only knowing that a strange possessiveness was plaguing her!

Up till now, she still couldn’t accept the reality of Ian being with Jocelyn.

From Ian’s perspective, everything with Vera should have ended, he had made things clear to her and dismissed her, so she shouldn’t appear anymore.

What Ian didn’t anticipate was that Vera was a dangerous person, her mental state was very poor, and her behavior was out of control.

The pain of unrequited love had directly shattered her.

Trevor was driving with Janelle Mills also heading to this ancient town. They, too, had no idea what was about to happen.
