Austin felt relieved when he saw Filip.
It was quite an important meeting later so Austin almost thought Filip wasn't going to make it as he didn't see Filip at nine in the morning.
And luckily, Filip looked alright except for some fatigue on his face.
It wasn't about love.
Austin took a huge sigh of relief and was about to hand over the files needed in the meeting to him and then Filip asked, "What was the name of the man Starry went to visit in the cemetery last year?"
Austin was dumbfounded for two seconds while looking at Filip, "You mean the time she went to visit and her car broke down at Eckcola Road?"
As a senior assistant, Austin had a brilliant memory.
He soon realized that was the same day last year but he didn't expect that Filip would suddenly mention this after a year.
Austin was frightened at the thought of that investigation report.
Did Filip find out that he looked like Sebastian?
Austin was scared at this thought.
But it wasn't the case and Filip just replied, "Okay."
Austin was waiting for him to ask more but he didn't say anything later.
Austin hurriedly passed the files to him, "Mr. Pearson, this is for the meeting later."
"Okay. Go ahead and prepare for it."
Filip took over the files and walked into his office.
He had Austin investigate that man last year. And the name was…
He thought that they were divorced and it was meaningless and offensive to investigate a passed person so he didn't see the result.
Sebastian.
That was right, his name was Sebastian.
He vaguely remembered Austin saying that was Edward's brother.
Two years in a row.
Did she go to visit him on this day every year during their marriage?
But he didn't pay much attention to Starry's personal life over the past five years so he wouldn't find out.
Never mind. Why would he get jealous of a passed person?
Edward's face got a little burned by the wind in the cemetery.
Starry took a look at him, "You can go back to the car."
Edward shook his head, "I'm not cold, Starry."
She then didn't say anything as he was Sebastian's brother and he also wanted to be here with him.
Unfortunately, it started to rain at eleven o'clock.
They had to leave because they didn't bring an umbrella.
"I'll come to see you another time."
Starry put down the flowers, wiped that photo on the tombstone for the last time, and then left with a smile.
Edward took a last glance at that photo. Sebastian was twenty years old when he died and his age didn't change after twelve years later but Edward was twenty-four years old now.
And he didn't have a brother anymore.
"Starry."
Edward called her name. Starry looked back when she heard his voice, "Yes?"
She replied in a low voice as she was down at this point.
His lips curled, "I heard that Frances had set blind dates for Filip. You've been divorced for a year now, you…don't you wanna have someone to take care of you?"
Starry took a look at him, "I don't need."
She could take good care of herself.
"But, would you give them a chance if they go after you?"
She didn't answer and he couldn't see her expression as she was walking in the front.
