After Jeremiah spoke, he signaled to the bodyguards at the door to come in and carry Zoey out.
Zoey wanted Jeremiah to take her, but thinking about what had been done to her, she felt too ashamed to insist. Jeremiah silently watched her leave, then took off his jacket, wiped his hands with it, and tossed it into a nearby trash can.
…
Meanwhile, in Tirion, everything was covered in a blanket of white snow. The river was encased in a thick layer of ice.
Yvette leaned against the seat and gazed out the window. The warmth inside the car caused a thin layer of mist to form on the glass, making the view outside blurry.
Curious to see what it was, she turned her attention back to the gift in her lap.
Then, she took out a small, palm-sized, exquisitely crafted box from the bag and opened it. Her eyes widened in surprise at the sight.
Inside the box was a beautifully made silver ring. It was the same ring she had personally engraved with both of their initials when they had been young. Originally, the rings were a pair—one for Yvette and one for Jeremiah.
When Yvette married Xavier, she had asked him where the ring was. He had told her that he didn't know what ring she was talking about.
At that time, Yvette had thought the ring had been lost. Looking back, she realized if she had asked more questions, she wouldn't have mistaken him for Jeremiah.
She looked at the engraving on the ring—"XL & YS". The initials were also wrong; XL were Xavier's initials.
Yvette gripped the ring tightly, pressing it into her palm, feeling increasingly guilty for having mistaken Xavier for Jeremiah.
She soon took out her phone and replied to Jeremiah's message, "Okay."
Then she added, "I saw the gift. I'm really sorry I mistook someone else for you. Let's stay friends. If there's anything I can help with, please don't hesitate to ask."
She thought that Jeremiah must be ready to move on from the past since he had returned the ring. Soon, she received a one-word reply. "Okay."
Yvette turned off her phone.
Xavier, who had been listening to her every move, understood that if she wanted to talk, she would do so voluntarily, so he didn't ask any questions. They drove in silence for a long time until they arrived home.
