It was all about genetics.
After being exploited by Elizabeth all these years, Colton nevertheless stayed true to himself and never became her pawn. It was the same for the pair of siblings, who would never turn out to be people who covet power.
The two siblings still went to the University of Pollerton.
After half a year, with her own efforts, Susan managed to secure herself the opportunity to attend to University of Pollerton, and several other universities in Yartran as a foreign exchange student. Without hesitation, she chose Atlantius.
"Susan, you're going there? Are you..."
Poppy took a peek at Susan's registration form. She was overjoyed yet worry for her best friend at the same time.
She was happy because she knew what Susan went through, and the reason behind her decision.
But at the same time, she was worried for Susan. Poppy feared for the worst, given that there was no news about Ian for the past six months.
Nonetheless, she could tell from Susan's eyes that she had made up her mind.
"Don't worry about it. I've already made the necessary preparations."
Then, Susan submitted her form.
Another six months passed and it was already the end of the year. This time, when Susan and Timothy went back for their break, they noticed that the other young adults did not return to Oceanic Estate for Christmas.
"Kurt and Vivi are not coming back this time because Vivi is invited to a fashion week."
"That's right. As for Mr. Ian, rumor has it that Uncle Solomon arranged for him to work at Wall Street in Moranta to get some experience"
"Matteo will not be coming back as well."
Sigrith sighed at the thought.
Matteo must be sending Nat to meet her father. Brandon is finally getting better, and he's longing to see his daughter. Nat, too, is missing her father, so Matteo was tasked to send her over.
Susan stood there and listened attentively.
She was feeling rather disappointed, for she believed that the young man she was waiting for was not going to Moranta to gain experience, but instead, was just trying to avoid coming home.
Susan never imagined herself going through such torment on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Every day, she would be counting down the days and hoping time could pass by quicker.
Once school reopened, I would be able to travel to Yartran.
Fortunately, she had her best friend by her side through such tough times.
Poppy: You're going to visit him soon. Do you have the gift ready?
Susan: What... what gift are you talking about?
Poppy: What do you mean what gift? You need to get him something that he likes. Do you even need me to teach you this?
