My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1798

On the 30th floor of a towering skyscraper, Aiken stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing out at the dense cluster of high-rises. His presence exuded a cold and imposing vibe.

He had just finished a call with Wendy when he received Simona's phone call.

Wendy's attitude was indifferent, drawing a clear line between them, even firmly stating her unwillingness to see him again.

Wendy had said, "We've been entangled for so many years. I'm grateful to you for saving me from a dire situation back then. You were my benefactor and once my lover.

"But that doesn't change the fact that you betrayed our relationship. I don't want us to be left with nothing but suspicion toward each other in the future—it would make things unbearably awkward for both of us.

"Aiken, it's truly over between us. From now on... please don't call me or try to contact me anymore."

Her words were filled with closure, casting a stark contrast against his reluctance to let go. She even refused when he offered to marry her.

At that moment, Aiken suddenly understood that once some people were lost, there was no chance of getting them back.

Unfortunately, by the time he realized Wendy's importance, it was too late. He no longer had any opportunity to be with her again.

…

Three months had passed since.

It was a rare moment for Skylar to have time to visit the mall with Natalie.

Today, they planned to browse a children's clothing store and pick up some clothes for their kids.

"Our eldest has been growing so fast this year—some clothes only fit for a month before they're too small, and the same goes for shoes.

"Honestly, time flies. Here we are, almost 40, and the kids are growing up so quickly," Natalie remarked while sifting through outfits.

Time really did seem to slip away in the blink of an eye.

Skylar felt a bit nostalgic as well. "In my heart, you will forever be 18."
