Her heart didn’t seem to hurt anymore. Had she let go? Seraphina wasn’t sure.

Over the past two days, she had met up with Chloe for afternoon tea to say her goodbyes.

The sun was shining beautifully outside, and soft music flowed through the cafe. Chloe looked at her, wanting to say something but holding back, ultimately ust silently refilling her cup with warm latte.

So, you’ve decided?” Chloe’s voice held a hint of imperceptible heartache.

Seraphina stirred her drink, a faint smile playing on her lips. “Yeah, I’ve decided.”

Chloe didn’t press further, simply sitting with her quietly, just as she had countless times before. And by a tacit understanding, neither of them told Liam inything.

After saying goodbye to Chloe, Seraphina was idly scrolling through social media when she saw a photo on Melody’s profile.

n front of an old church with red walls and dark tiles, Liam was holding a protective talisman–one said to require lining up before dawn and undergoing a series of complex rituals, rated by people online as the “hardest to obtain“-and was gently pinning it to Melody’s collar.

Seraphina stared at the photo, her fingertips turning cold.

she remembered a long time ago, she had stumbled upon the legend of this church’s talisman online and had playfully asked Liar to go with her to get one.

At the time, Liam was busy with a project. He had just ruffled her hair and said with a touch of carelessness, “Sera, that stuff is all just superstition. I don’t believe in any of it. If you have any problems, I’ll solve them for you. You don’t need to rely on things like that.”

she believed him then. It was only now that she saw the truth: it wasn’t that she didn’t need those things, it was just that he never wanted to do them for her.

He could spend all that time and energy for Melody, praying devoutly in a church filled with incense smoke, yet he found it too much trouble to even humor

ier own wishes.

Seraphina slowly put down her phone. The traffic outside was still bustling, but her heart was so calm that not a single ripple stirred.

When she returned to the villa, Liam and Melody were already in the living room.

Melody was wearing a brand–new dress. When she saw Seraphina come in, she immediately came over affectionately. “Sera, look at this bracelet Liam brought ne! It’s a limited edition from an international designer! He had to go to several stores just to find it for me!”

Seraphina glanced blandly at the bracelet on her wrist and uttered a single, expressionless word, “Nice.”

The expected jealousy didn’t materialize, and Melody suddenly felt a bit bored. She pitifully tugged on Liam’s sleeve and said. “Liam, is Sera mad at me because

ve went out without her?”

iam patted Melody’s head reassuringly. “Don’t overthink it. Sera isn’t that petty.”

With that, he picked up an exquisite gift box from the side and handed it to Seraphina. “This is for you.”

nside was a sparkling diamond necklace, beautifully designed and obviously very expensive.

Melody feigned envy from the side. “Liam is so good to you, Sera. I wanted that necklace before, but he wouldn’t get it for me. He said it was specifically for you.”

Seraphina didn’t spare the necklace another glance and said flatly, “If you like it, you can have it,”

‘Really?” Melody’s eyes lit up. She immediately picked up the necklace, happily put it on, and showed it off to Liam. “Liam, what do you think? Does it look good?”

Liam looked at the necklace on Melody’s neck, then at Seraphina’s unusually calm face, and a flicker of surprise rose in his heart.
