Her steps slowed to a halt, but she still couldn’t bring herself to face that person.
Walden Sullivan came up behind her, “When I first saw you, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, I couldn’t believe it was really you Lelitia
He saw Letitia picking up trash And she was good at it, like it wasn’t her first time doing it.
“Letitia. how did you end up like this? Walden asked, “What on earth have you been through these past years?”
That girl who once shined so bright, exuding charm and grace, the girl of his dreams.
Now, she was cloaked in exhaustion and the weight of the world.
“You’ve got the wrong person, Letitia said, her head down.
“No, it’s definitely you. I’d recognize you anywhere!”
She let out a mocking laugh and suddenly spun around, “Yes, I’m Letitia, your once fiancée, Mr. Sullivan! But now, we’re nothing to each other You go your way, and I’ll go mine!”
Back then, Walden and Letitia had been engaged.
But after the Sanders family’s catastrophe, the Sullivan family immediately broke off the engagement unilaterally and, to distance themselves, quickly whisked Walden off abroad.
During that time. Letitia went through hell. She was running between jail, the hospital, and the police station, desperately needing someone’s help.
That someone should have been Walden. But she couldn’t get through to him, couldn’t find him; the Sullivan family’s doors were shut tight, the security guards pushed her away, shooed her off… All of her former friends turned their

Letitia had completely lost faith in Walden. She shook off his hand and turned to leave.
“Letitia!”
“Don’t follow me!” she yelled, “The last person I want to see right now is you!”

“Okay. Do me a favor, find out what Letitia has been through these last two years.”
