Five years later, at the airport.
Two figures of different heights appeared at the entrance of the airport.
A white casual suit was a neutral style, but for Isabel, it looked elegant on her, and made her look cute and sweet.
An adorable boy who was walking in front of her was also wearing the same style of clothes.
This was a matching outfit for a parent and a child.
Or was it a matching outfit for siblings?
Daniel pulled along a suitcase along the corridor, and he looked rather gentlemanly and as eye-catching as Isabel.
"Wow, that kid is too cute, I suddenly have the urge to bear a second child.”
"Go ahead, what if your second child looks like your first child, you'll regret it.”
"I really want to ask their parents how could they give birth to such good-looking child.”
"Of course it is because their genetics are good. Their parents must be good-looking as well.”
"You are right, his sister looks good too, then it must mean the whole family looks good as well, I'm so envious.”
Daniel who was pulling along a suitcase suddenly stopped in his tracks, and he turned around and faced the women who were gossiping, "She's not my sister.”
Although Isabel looked very young since she was being mistaken for being his sister, and it was a good thing too, but if that's the case they were still a generation apart.
"Then she is…” The two women were curious about her identity. She didn’t look like his mother, because she was way too young.
That was impossible.
"That's a secret.” Daniel raised his head, and continued pulling his luggage while chasing after Isabel. They were out of the airport lobby in no time.
When Isabel was stuffing her luggage into the boot of a car, Daniel also carried his luggage and stood on tiptoe in order to put it into the boot. Then, he said, "Mum, it's done, let's go.”
Isabel caressed her son's head affectionately and then he held his small hands and entered the taxi.
"I'm going to T University.” She told the driver her destination.
When the taxi was starting its engine, a black Maybach stopped stealthily behind them.
Aiden exited that car, and his gaze grazed the taxi which was parked in front of him. He thought he was seeing things, somehow the girl in the car resembled the girl who was sent to the police station by him five years ago.
Didn’t he hear that she had left T City long ago?
Did her return have something to do with his brother, Adam?
"Aiden, the plane is arriving soon.” Ewan strutted towards him and reminded him out of the blue.
Aiden then only continued walking into the airport.
Isabel's taxi stopped in front of T University.
"Daniel, go sit on that grass for a while, I need to call someone to get us in, we may have to wait.” T University was huge, it would take some time for a car to circle the whole campus ground, let alone looking for someone on foot by oneself.
Isabel who had problems with directions didn’t know how to reach her destination, so she could only call for help.
While she was standing in front of T University, a myriad of emotions were slowly rising up from within.
Five years ago, she had wanted to be part of T University, but in the end she had lost that opportunity.
But when she turned around and looked at Daniel, she didn’t feel any tinge of regret.
Although she couldn’t enter T University back then, now she could return and make up for her regrets.
She's back to T University.
But now, she was no longer a freshman, she would enter as a master student.
After waiting for a few minutes, a white bus slowly approached them, and the driver saw the two contrasting figures as well as those gazes directed at them. He hurriedly stopped the bus next to Isabel and asked her, "Are you Isabel White?”
"You are Owen?”
Owen took her luggage and placed it on the bus while saying, "Hey, this is…” Looking at Daniel who was running towards them clumsily, Owen was stunned.
"She's my mum…” Daniel suddenly stopped mid-sentence, because he saw Isabel's warning gaze.
