Nyla looked at Ceres with remorse, "Ceres, I'm sorry. If it wasn't for..."
Nyla hung her head down in shame. She had always been loyal to her friends, but she didn't expect that she could do such an unfriendly thing to Ceres.
"It's okay. Don't blame yourself, Nyla."
The magnanimity of Ceres made Nyla feel even worse.
But there was nothing she could do. She felt useless.
After Nyla got away, Ceres and Johny were the only ones left at home. Ceres looked over at Johny, who wore a long face as if he was thinking.
This was a very different Johny from the one she had just known.
He should have been an arrogant, cold fish, but for her, he had become quite unlike himself.
"Why don't you take me somewhere we know each other?"
Johny was surprised at her suggestion, but he agreed.
He drove Ceres in person for almost four to five hours before finally arriving at Evian Town.
Evian Town, as in those days, was full of simplicity and nature. Ceres loved it at first glance, but she couldn't remember anything about it.
It had been a long time since anyone had lived in Evian Town, but there were beautiful memories of both of them here. Johny had been putting someone in charge of cleaning up the yard. There had always been people here, waiting for their masters to return.
When Ceres got tired of walking around the yard, Johny took her to their former bedroom.
The bedroom was as clean and clean as ever.
Ceres stood at the window overlooking this fresh and natural town. Everything was familiar, while everything was so strange.
Johny knew what Ceres was thinking. He gently hugged her around the waist.
The hairs on Ceres' back just stood up. In her memory, Johny had always been a stranger. They were not very familiar with each other and were not so close. So, she was still somewhat unaccustomed to such intimate behavior.
However, Ceres did not refuse such intimate behavior. She said lightly, "Tell me, how did we meet?"
Johny did not speak at first.
Their story was so long that he did not know how to tell it, much less whether to tell it.
When Johny didn't speak for a while, Ceres looked up at him and asked, "Why? Even you forget about it?"
"Yes, so do I." Johny gently put his head on Ceres's. "Shall we put the past behind us?"
With what Nyla said today, neither of them was optimistic.
Ceres lowered her eyes and pursed her lips.
"Ceres, shall we put the past behind us? Let's start over again and create new memories, shall we?"
It was the best Johny could do to keep Ceres from thinking about the past and keep only new and sweet memories in her mind.
Johny looked down at Ceres in his arms. It was indeed cruel to her. It wouldn't hurt if she didn't know she'd lost those memories. It was cruel to force her to accept the consequences of the past but not to let her recall the past.
"Let's get married."
A low voice was heard by Johny.
It was as gentle as the breeze.
"What?" Johny looked at Ceres in astonishment.
