Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 657

The wind caught the fallen autumn leaves, swirling them around her in a gentle, dancing vortex, illuminated by the flickering candlelight.

The leaves danced and spun in the air, brushing against her shoulders as if two little children were holding hands and playfully circling around her.

Emilia's lips parted, her eyes overflowing with tears.

"Is that you?" she whispered softly, reaching out her hand into the swirling breeze.

The crisp wind bit at her skin, but she didn't pull away.

The candlelight flickered warmly, and the wind chimes sang their sweet, bright melody.

Down below, sitting in the car, Theodore watched the faint glow of the lantern on the hill. He waited in quiet patience.

He wanted to help her, to guide her out of this endless grief.

But he knew healing was a process that couldn't be rushed.

All he could do was stand by her side and support her.

Whatever she wanted, whatever she needed to do, he would make it happen.

Absolutely anything.

...

Time slowly slipped by.

The night grew deep and heavy.

It was a restless night for many.

Countless people tossed and turned in their beds.

Emilia stared at the moon hanging outside her window, her emotions tangled in a complicated knot.

Unable to sleep, she slipped out of bed and quietly made her way into Bella's room.

Seeing the little girl sound asleep, hugging the fluffy ragdoll cat in her arms, Emilia smiled. She affectionately reached out and stroked Bella's soft cheek.

"Meow," the cat trilled softly, noticing Emilia.

Understanding its plea, Emilia gently extracted the cat from Bella's tight grip.

The cat immediately crawled into Emilia's arms, affectionately nudging her with its head. She scratched it under the chin, and it let out a loud, rumbling purr.

Holding the cat, Emilia watched Bella roll over in her sleep. She carefully tucked the blanket around the child, feeling a rare sense of profound peace.

A shadow fell across the doorway.
