Chapter 20
Returning to this familiar city once again, Greta’s mindset had undergone a complete
transformation.
She pushed the luggage and walked out of the airport with Sharon, chatting and laughing
As they were chatting, Sharon saw her parents and waved at them in the distance.
She introduced Greta to her parents, and the elderly couple strongly invited her to come home with
them.
Greta knew that the family of three had endless topics to talk about when they said goodbye, so she didn’t want to disturb their reunion and politely declined.
After parting ways temporarily, she walked out of the airport alone, pushing her luggage, only to realize that it was raining heavily outside.
There were no cars on the road. She opened the ride–hailing app and was about to make a call when a black car suddenly stopped in front of her.
She instinctively lifted her head and saw Kayson walking towards her with an umbrella.
After months of not seeing each other, he had lost a lot of weight and was wearing a dark green windbreaker, looking as slender as a bamboo pole.
Greta didn’t expect him to show up and was momentarily stunned.
He, however, walked straight up to her, with a complex emotion in his eyes that she couldn’t understand, and spoke in a deep voice.
“Long time no see, Greta. How have you been lately?”
Greta subconsciously took a few steps back, distancing herself from him, her tone becoming indifferent.
“It was okay.”
This cold attitude made Kayson feel a little disappointed.
But he understood that all of this made sense.
After all, they were just a divorced couple.
So he quickly adjusted his mindset and looked at the suitcase in her hand.
“The rain was too heavy; shall I take you back to the hotel?”
Cooking at the reminder on the screen that the order had been received, Greta shook her head and declined his kindness.

“No need, I had already hailed a taxi.”
Then you take the umbrella, otherwise the luggage will get wet.”
Greta didn’t know why he suddenly became so enthusiastic, and a strange feeling surged in her
heart.
“I didn’t need your help, nor did I feel any necessity for us to have any further connection, Mr. Brady. What do you
think?”
This sentence pierced straight into the depths of Kayson’s heart like a needle.
His hands, gathered in his sleeves, trembled slightly, and he forced a smile.
“Divorced, can’t even be friends anymore?”
Greta put her phone back into her pocket and took out an umbrella from her bag, watching the
approaching car.
“Before the divorce, we were just ordinary classmates. After the divorce, it would be better to go
back to that time. You and I, we were never meant to be in the same world, there’s no need to be
friends.”
There was no emotion in any of the words or sentences.
Now, Kayson was stunned.
He watched as the driver helped to load her luggage into the trunk, watched as she opened the car
door, watched as she folded up her umbrella, and felt that something was slowly drifting away from
him.
He couldn’t help but step forward and grabbed the closing car door.
In the sound of the rushing raindrops, his voice was particularly resolute and powerful.
“I didn’t feel like we were not people of the same world.”
“Greta, perhaps you have heard countless people gossiping about your background and criticizing your choice to marry me, but I want to tell you that I have never underestimated you, nor have I ever had any thoughts that you don’t deserve to stand by my side. You simply accepted everything you have with grace and courageously pursued what you love. You don’t need to belittle yourself.”
Greta had been living alone for nearly ten years when she heard someone say this for the first time.
She turned her head to look at him, slightly curling her lips, and spoke a few words to him with a
‘rare smile.
“Thank you.”
