“Screw you for your right away!”

Anna sniffled and let go, glaring at her.

“Don’t act like I don’t go online or know what’s going on. You’re the CEO of Aglar for Stonewarden Group now, aren’t you? Rumors have been flying for ages about you coming back. Did you think I wouldn’t know?”

Dawn looked at her puffed–up face and burst out laughing.

She raised her hands, cupping Anna’s round cheeks, and gave them a squeeze.

“Let me see if our Anna has gotten prettier these past three years. Did you gain or lose weight?”

Anna had cut her hair short, though not super short–about shoulder–length. With the strands by her temples tucked behind her ears, her beautiful face was fully on display.

“Looking good.”

Dawn sighed. “Your chest got bigger too. Very womanly.”

“Screw you, get lost!”

Anna swatted her hands away and plopped down in the seat beside her. “I’m going to bleed you dry today. I’m ordering the most expensive things on the menu!”

“Fine, order whatever you want.”

Once the emotional reunion faded, the two couldn’t stop talking.

Anna was as curious as a cat, asking about everything–from three years ago to now, from the car accident to her current position at Stonewarden Group.

Dawn’s expression remained calm as she glossed over the details.

None of that was worth dwelling on.

It was in the past.

Things that had already happened, especially bad things, didn’t need to be chewed over repeatedly. Other than affecting your mood, there was no benefit.

Anna could sense her resistance and changed the subject after just a few sentences.

“Have you seen Ethan yet?”

Dawn looked up, silently confirming it.

Anna shook her head. “I really don’t know if this is some karma from a past life. Honestly, at first I was rooting for you two. Who knew so much drama would happen later? You wouldn’t believe it, but he went even crazier than Austin did.”

Dawn quietly speared a piece of steak and put it in her mouth.

It was slightly overcooked.

Anna discreetly observed her reaction and continued, “Three years ago after you disappeared, Ethan personally searched the water for you for over a month. When his body couldn’t take it anymore, they’d send him to the hospital. As soon as he got out, he’d go right back to searching. Honestly, if I weren’t your friend, even I would’ve been moved.”

Dawn’s expression didn’t change as she said flatly, “That doesn’t put food on the table.”

Huh?

That confused Anna even more.

Anna stared at Dawn. “So why did you come back this time? Do you want to get back together with him, or do you want revenge?”

Dawn took a napkin and wiped her mouth, saying slowly, “What’s there to get revenge for? Three years have changed everything. There’s no way I’m getting tangled up with him again.”

“Bullshit!”

Anna didn’t believe it.

She called her out mercilessly with a snort, “If you were really that heartless, I wouldn’t say anything. But the problem is you’re not. Three years, so what? If you haven’t untangled that knot in your heart, even after 30 years, you still won’t get over it!”

Everything had been too bizarre.

To this day, they still didn’t know why Jonathan had imprisoned her back then.

Everything after that was just a domino effect, one thing leading to another.

Forget whether getting back together was even possible, but at the very least, she deserved to

know the truth.

Dawn didn’t say anything. The dense foliage outside the window cast mottled shadows, making her features appear uncertain in the light.

Seeing she didn’t want to talk about it more, Anna dropped the subject.

“Anyway, you’re not leaving again anytime soon. If anything comes up, remember to contact

me.”

“Okay.”

“And don’t change your phone number or social media again.”

“Alright.”

Dawn’s eyes held amusement as she placed a piece of grilled ribs on Anna’s plate. “Don’t be mad anymore. Eat something good. These ribs are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The bones have already been removed, so eat up.”

Anna huffed. “Don’t think you can buy me off like this.”

That said, she still picked up the ribs and ate them in small bites.

“So what are your plans going forward?”

Going forward?

With the greetings out of the way, it was time to get down to business.

Dawn’s lips curved as she feigned helplessness. “Depends on what Anna wants to do. You know me–I don’t have many strengths, but I’m easygoing.”

“Can you not use my name like that?”

Anna rolled her eyes, visibly disgusted.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with people who choose names. Can’t they be more creative? Why do they have to use the exact same name?”

She’d encountered this situation many times before, but this time was completely different. This time was the worst.

Dawn patted her head soothingly.

“Then I’ll give you a different name.”

“What?”

“How about Ann?”

“Works for me.”

After finishing their meal, the two casually wandered around the nearby mall for a bit. During this time, they video–called several other friends from Trifton. When they saw Dawn, they all looked like they’d seen a ghost. They claimed they needed to come to Northville to see her in

person.

“Stop it!”

Anna glared at David on the screen. “What kind of nonsense is that? She’s back alive and well now. Don’t say such unlucky things!”
