Seven Days to Goodbye (Irene and Stellan) novel Chapter 16

astonishment, and asked somewhat confusedly, “Hello, is there something I can help you with?”

Stellan gazed at that unfamiliar face, and his heart gradually grew cold.

“It’s nothing.”

He let go of his hand, forced a smile, and said, “I just thought you looked a lot like someone I used to know. Sorry, I mistook you for someone else.”

The girl glanced at him, said nothing, and turned away with her friends.

Stellan watched her back and suddenly felt that he had just acted foolishly and recklessly.

The girl was clearly shorter than Irene, carried a single–shoulder bag that Irene disliked, and even wore the tall boots Irene always found troublesome.

Only a white dress and scarf resembled her; in every other aspect, there was almost no similarity.

Stellan withdrew his gaze and let out a helpless, bitter smile.

He had been present at Irene’s funeral ceremony.

He had witnessed with his own eyes Irene being pecked by vultures, so how could he still believe she was alive, or think he might meet her somewhere?

Stellan laughed at himself, feeling that Jack’s words had indeed made him somewhat superstitious.

Suppressing the ache in his heart, he went straight to the Alaska Native Heritage Center.

On the square in front of the entrance, many people wore kuspuks for live streaming or taking photos, and there were couples dressed in wedding gowns or Alaska Native regalia taking wedding pictures.

The sky was vast and high, white clouds drifting leisurely; in front of the red tiles and white walls, lovers pressed their palms together, vowing to love each other forever.

Stellan felt his heart stirred, suddenly recalling that seven years ago, he had proposed to Irene right here.

At that time, he had specially bribed a photography team, telling her he wanted to bring her here for a photo shoot.

After her makeup was done and she changed into a kuspuk, he brought her to the square in front of the Alaska Native Heritage Center.

When the photographer asked him to pose facing Irene, kneeling on one knee.

He took out the wedding ring and said, “Irene, I love you. Will you marry me?”

Stellan still remembered Irene’s surprise at that moment.

She even shed tears, hugged him tightly, and softly said, “I will.”

Later, when they took their wedding photos, Irene also said she wanted to take a set at the Alaska Native Heritage Center.

After all, this was the starting point of their marriage.

But Stellan had just taken over the family business and was overwhelmed with work every day.

Irene felt sorry for him and did not want him to take leave for personal reasons, so they simply did not take wedding photos.

She even comforted his guilty heart, saying, “Who says wedding photos can only be taken at the wedding? We can take them after we get married, it’s the same.”

At that time, Stellan was full of guilt and promised her again and again that he would make it up to her.

But later, as work got busier, he never returned to Alaska.

The last time he came was also to say goodbye.

Thinking of this, Stellan felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, the pain beyond words,

He hated Irene for not understanding him, hated the changes in Irene, but what he hated most was that she could never love anyone again.

He was left alone in the world, and even the wind could not carry his longing to his departed beloved.

He withdrew his gaze and walked into the Alaska Native Heritage Center.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw the statue before which he and Irene had once prayed for a lifetime together.

Seeing that statue, Stellan suddenly remembered that after the proposal that day.

They had also entered the Alaska Native Heritage Center and, upon entering the hall, bowed before the statue.
