Tracey was a bit surprised that Adam was so eager to see her all of a sudden, but she still agreed to his request.
On one hand, she had learned enough. On the other hand, the development of the new perfume was in its final stages, and she couldn't finish it without Wilson.
Somehow she felt Adam didn't just want her back because he missed her. Maybe she was overthinking it.
The next morning, Tracey told Steve that she was going to leave. Steve was much calmer than she had imagined.
"He told me that yesterday, so I won't go to the company today. I'll stay with you, little devil." Although Steve said it in a light tone, Tracey saw the disappointment in his eyes.
Happiness takes no account of time. Steve was as radiant as ever during this period, and Tracey knew it was all because of her.
After she left, would he be as broken as he was before? Tracey was worried about him, but there was nothing she could do.
It was impossible for her to stay with him forever. And her being around would delay his search for love.
"Steve, please don't be depressed like before.
I wish you happy."
"Silly girl, of course I'll be happy. Don't you think I can take care of myself?" Steve rubbed her head. "I made breakfast for you. Go wash up and come to eat."
"Okay."
Steve spent the whole day with her. He knew that he might never be able to be so free with her again.
She would marry Adam soon. This was his last chance to stay with her alone.
Tracey invited Wilson to her place this night. She made him and Steve dinner like before. Wilson was a man of few words, and there was a reluctance in his eyes at the moment.
Tracey kind of changed his life. She lit up his world like a sun. Sadly, his sun was about to leave, which meant he would go back into the dark.
"Wilson, in fact, there's something I've been keeping from you. I wonder if I should tell you..."
"What's it?" Wilson looked at her doubtfully. He didn't see that coming.
"It's about Chelsea."
"What? Did Adam tell you that?" Wilson's eyes lit up.
"I still don't know if I should tell you this, but I think you deserve the truth." Tracey made a difficult choice.
She only knew Chelsea was alive. She didn't know if she was still in love with Wilson. What if Chelsea was married with kids? It would hurt Wilson no less than the news of her death.
But what if Chelsea still loved Wilson the way Wilson loved her? Tracey didn't want them to miss each other.
Adam had promised Chelsea that he would never tell Wilson she was still alive, but she hadn't. That was not a breach of promise, was it?
