Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 94

It was Nolan.

"Violeta? What are you doing here?" he asked.

Violeta explained, "I'm walking my dog."

Tuna looked puzzled.

Nolan lowered his gaze and saw Tuna. He asked, puzzled, "Is this your dog? It doesn't look like a dog."

"Well, boy. You have a keen eye," Tuna twitched its ears and glanced at Nolan.

"It's a Husky mix."

"I see."

The golden retriever ran up to Nolan and wagged its tail.

Indeed, it was Cutie.

The Nolan in her previous life used to have a golden retriever named Cutie. Unfortunately, it died from food poisoning.

Violeta really adored that dog. She even fed it sausages while working her part-time job in a thick mascot costume and handing out flyers.

Cutie was very close to Violeta, but Nolan was unaware of this.

In their previous life, the gap between Violeta and Nolan were too great, so she was happy to have the opportunity to interact with Cutie.

Cutie ran up to Violeta and licked her hand.

Tuna was displeased and barked at Cutie.

Nolan approached and introduced, "This is my dog, Cutie."

"Well, indeed, it's quite cute."

Nolan would occasionally come to the park to walk his dog. He didn't expect to meet Violeta here. He was pleasantly surprised by the encounter.

"I often come here to walk my dog, but I haven't met you before."

Of course not. I’ve only started coming here two weeks ago. I didn't come to walk Tuna because my backyard was spacious enough for Tuna to play freely without a leash. I mainly come here hoping to coincidentally meet someone.

"I haven't been here for long," Violeta replied.

"Well, it seems like we have some fate then."

Violeta wasn't convinced. She argued, "By that logic, you also have some fate with the old ladies in the park."

Nolan's smile froze for a moment before he continued, "In this world, everyone we meet is destined."

Violeta didn't want to continue this awkward conversation.

She stood up from her chair and grabbed Tuna's leash. She said, "It's getting late, I should head back."

Nolan could sense Violeta's discomfort and didn't insist.

As Violeta was about to leave, an elderly man with silver hair and a unique aura walked toward them from the corner Nolan had previously come from.

"Nolan."

"Hmm? Hi, Wade."

Hearing this, Violeta abruptly stopped her steps and immediately turned around.

When she saw the man, Violeta was overjoyed.

Finally, she had encountered the legendary screenwriter, Wade Howell!

Wade approached Nolan. Cutie playfully sniffed him, wagging its tail happily.

"Why did you stop here?"

Nolan smiled gently and explained, "I accidentally met a schoolmate."

Noticing how familiar Wade and Nolan were, Violeta finally understood that they had known each other for a long time.

Nolan introduced, "Wade, this is Violeta. We went to the same school together."

Wade lazily glanced at Violeta and nodded with a smile.

"Hi, Mr. Wade!" Violeta had visited the park many times in hopes of running into him. She thought she wouldn't meet him today, but unexpectedly, she did. It seemed like even the gods were on her side.

"Hi, are you in the same school as Nolan?"
