Time files. Tomorrow is Sunny's wedding. In the evening, Nina Morrison prints out a copy of the wedding procedure and recites it firmly.
Sunny and Peter Johnson have invited a professional wedding party to accompany them the whole way. Nina Morrison is the maid of honor. She just needs remember to help the bride hold the bouquet and wedding ring, and pay attention to the bride's makeup. It’s an idle job that she doesn’t have to be in charge of red envelops.
After reciting the procedure, it's almost 11 o’clock. Nina Morrison takes a shower and gets ready for sleep. Tomorrow she will get up early and go to Sunny's house to make up with her. She need to sleep early tonight.
As she walks to the bed to close curtains, Nina Morrison catches a glimpse of a tall man standing next to a black SUV in the shadow of a tree.
The curtain is half closed, Nina Morrison's heart leaps. She pulls the curtain back and looks closely at that man.
How...comes that he looks like Lucien Gray?
A flash of red light flashes, and she tries to see it clearly through her wide-open eyes. Over there, whether he is throwing a cigarette butt or he is tired and tries to change a gesture, he walks forward. His body melts into the shadow completely.
The more Nina Morrison looks at it, the more suspicious she is, how does that car look like Lucien Gray's car? And that man, tall and haughty, the way he stands looks exactly like Lucien Gray!
Is it really him? What's he doing here? In the middle of the night, he squats down at her house. Is this a performance of love, or the performance to catch adultery?
Nina Morrison is confused. She pulls the curtain and lies on the bed. She is so sad like being scratched by hundreds of claws. She put on clothes, tiptoes out of the door. She wants to find out.
When she steps into the elevator, her shadow is reflected in the elevator. Nina Morrison looks at herself and almost cries.
