Chapter 15
Hearing these comments, Sophia was confused until she went outside and saw the drones in the sky performing and
changing formations every few dozen seconds, all spelling out love confessions.
She knew this had to be Alexander’s doing-he was the only one here who knew her name was Sophia.
When she turned to look at Alexander, she met his eyes full of deep affection.
Sophia wasn’t moved by any of this, because these were all things Alexander had done for her before. Even though it was
the same person, so many things had changed.
The night breeze brushed across her face, lifting her long hair.
Alexander stood holding flowers, their eyes locked as he walked toward her step by step.
For a moment, he felt like he was back in college when he was pursuing Sophia.
Back then he’d been just as nervous holding flowers, walking step by step toward the person he loved.
But then the excitement had been about gaining something; now it was about losing everything.
A few steps brought him close. He stopped and held out the bouquet, saying gently, “Happy Valentine’s Day. Sophia.”
Sophia didn’t glance at the flowers once, keeping her eyes fixed on him.
Then he watched her pull out her phone, press a few buttons, and hold it to her ear. She looked straight at him as she
spoke, “Hello, there are drones flying illegally over the beach on Harbor Boulevard. Please come clear them out.”
Every word reached his ears clearly.
His hand froze in mid-air. Those eyes were still looking at him, but all he felt was bone-deep cold.
In less than five minutes, the drones over the beach started falling one by one, crashing into the ocean and disappearing.
“Hey, what’s happening? Why are they all falling?”
He was too far away to actually hear anything, but he kept imagining the sound of drones crashing into the sea like they
were crashing into his heart, making it impossible to breathe.
Suddenly he felt his hand lighten-Sophia had taken his flowers.
Alexander stared at her blankly, not understanding what this series of actions meant, finding her impossible to read for
the first time and realizing he couldn’t see through her-maybe he never had.
After taking the flowers, Sophia lowered her head and sniffed them lightly. The scent was still as fragrant as she
remembered, but it could no longer give her the feelings from memory.

Beautiful things only existed in memories, and people shouldn’t dwell in the past.
She laughed softly, and under Alexander’s somewhat confused gaze, tossed the flowers into a nearby trash can.
The thud hit Alexander’s heart directly, draining the color from his face.
She looked up to meet his eyes and said flatly, “Alexander, don’t waste your energy.”
Hearing her rejection once again, Alexander didn’t feel the heart-wrenching pain he’d expected.
Because he seemed to have gotten used to the pain-every minute, every second since she’d left, his heart had been
aching.
He’d gone numb. The smile on his face turned miserable. “Sophia, you still won’t forgive me? What do I have to do for
you to give me a chance? I deeply regret my previous decisions. The six months you were gone, I lived worse than death. I
can’t lose you again…”
Sophia’s expression didn’t change one bit.
No matter how much he regretted or suffered after she left, it couldn’t change what had already happened.
‘It’s no use, Alexander. We’re impossible now.”
This statement completely deflated Alexander, his eyes full of helplessness and confusion as this version of Sophia felt
like a stranger he didn’t know how to handle, so he could only watch helplessly as she turned and left his sight, unable to
do anything.
That statement was basically Sophia’s death sentence for Alexander.
If he were smart, he’d know not to keep pestering her, but Alexander clearly wasn’t that smart.
He still didn’t give up. Before, he’d just silently watched and guarded her from the sidelines.
Now he began openly pursuing her.
He bought her breakfast, brought flowers, helped her move things-ordinary activities that Sophia couldn’t ignore.
Whenever Sophia threw the flowers in the trash right in front of him, he’d only get down for a moment before acting like nothing had happened, but only he knew that the fortress in his heart was crumbling plece by piece, ready to collapse at any moment, and only Sophia could save him.
He didn’t dare ask for her answer, knowing how hard it would be to hear what he wanted to hear. So he could only foolishly follow behind her, chasing after her.
This day he followed her to the beach. Usually she’d walk along the shore without stopping.
