"I've always believed that if two people truly love each other, they can overcome any obstacle and difficulty. Even distance can't sever their bond."
Really? A shadow of indescribable sorrow flickered in Lisbeth's deep brown eyes.
She pursed her lips and whispered softly, "Didn't the tarot cards predict it? Raines and I are destined for a tragic separation. Maybe it's about to come true."
Beverley and Aurelia exchanged a glance. The reading had clearly shaken Lisbeth.
Negativeness always left a deeper impression than positiveness.
"Lisbeth, tarot readings only predict a possible future for a given period. If you make changes, the next reading could show a completely different outcome."
"Really?"
Beverley nodded vigorously, "Absolutely! Last time I did a reading for Aurelia, it was the Breakup card, but this time it's the Sun card, signifying they've emerged from the fog into the light. It's like waiting for the storm to clear to see the moon."
Aurelia offered a reassuring smile, "No matter what dangers you and Raines might face in the future, I believe you'll both come through safely because Raines loves you deeply. True love can conquer anything."
A bittersweet smile slowly appeared on Lisbeth. She said, "Raines has always treated me so well. I've never had anyone else take such good care of me. Meeting him has been the luckiest thing in my life."
Aurelia gave her a knowing look, convinced of Lisbeth's feelings for Raines. A tall and handsome attorney from a prestigious family, brimming with talent and gentleness. Who wouldn't be moved?
No one could escape the capture of love, not even a female assassin.
Dinner was ready, and they headed to the dining room together.
At that moment, Lisbeth's phone rang. Beverley, quick as a flash, grabbed the phone from the nightstand, "It's Raines. I'll answer for you."
