Stella was exhausted, her eyelids heavy. She mumbled sleepily, “Elias, set an alarm. I have to go back to the lab the day after tomorrow.

“Actually, it’s tomorrow already.”

Elias kissed her lips softly, his voice deep and gentle. “Sleep. I’ll wake you.”

She let him take care of her.

Soon they fell asleep in each other’s arms.

At Silverspine Mountain in Azure Peak City, Frederick and Tess were hiking together.

He unscrewed a bottle and handed it to her. “Tess, have some water.”

“Thanks.”

Tess took a few sips and noticed his gentle gaze. She grinned playfully, “What? Don’t want just a ‘thank you“?”

Frederick looked confused.

Tess grabbed his collar, pulled him close, and kissed him.

Frederick was surprised at first, then delighted. He held her head and kissed her back.

They finally pulled away breathless.

Tess smiled cheekily. “How’s that for thanks?”

“Perfect. Keep doing it.” Frederick smiled in satisfaction.

“This place is pretty good for… mischief.”

Frederick paused and raised an eyebrow. “Like what?”

“Kissing me suddenly.”

She didn’t have to say it twice,

Frederick pulled her behind a large tree and kissed her passionately.

They pulled apart when footsteps approached and continued hiking.

Every time they looked at each other, they smiled softly, full of affection.

Some nearby tourists whispered.

“That guy’s got so much devotion. He comes here daily, offering his respects with repeated deep bows. hoping to be with his beloved in the next life.”

“That’s Mr. Moore. If he weren’t rich, I’d think he’s just putting on a show.”

“So handsome, and loyal to only one person. When will that luck find me?”

“I believe in love again.”

Frederick and Tess exchanged looks and squeezed each other’s hand tighter.

They knew Jasper did more than this. He visited Nicole’s grave every morning, rain or shine, with fresh flowers.

“Tess, we have to cherish each other.”

“I will. I promise.”

They smiled and kept walking, then ran into Jasper.

“Mr. Moore, have some water.”

Jasper took it with a smile. “You two came hiking?“.

“Yes.”

Frederick felt moved.

He had never believed in fate, but now he hoped there was a next life–so the two lovers could finally be together.

“The view is nice. Enjoy yourselves.”

Jasper turned back to his prayer, bowing deeply again and again.

Frederick and Tess felt their eyes sting.

If not for Stella, Jasper would have died long ago when he lost Nicole.

At Cloudreach Manor.

Stella woke up at dusk, hungry but still too sleepy to open her eyes.

She snuggled into Elias‘ chest, rubbing her head softly.

Elias held her close and kissed her forehead. She smiled happily, still asleep.

“Honey… I’m so hungry,” she murmured, her voice soft and sleepy.

Elias‘ heart melted.

He opened his eyes gently and held her face. “What do you want to eat?”

Stella’s eyelids felt glued shut. She tilted her head, lips parted, thinking for a moment. Then she nodded off

and kissed him right on the lips.

Elias froze.

They had already been completely intimate, but in that moment, his heart still raced.

Stella licked her lips lightly and frowned slightly.

Elias held her head and kissed her deeply.

The air in the room grew heated. Suddenly, Stella jolted awake and pushed him away.

Elias stared at her, confused.
