Chapter 350 Like a Dream

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, as Beatrice stared blankly at the ring in her hand. The men’s ring was always worn on Caden’s hand, and Bella could not take off the ring without his permission. So this is not just Bella’s warning, but also Caden’s intention.
He still chose someone else.
This is not surprising at all.
Beatrice was relieved.
But her breath was uneven, as if countless thorns were piercing into her heart, causing unbearable pain and suffocation.
Seeing this, Odin took the card with a serious expression on his face and said, “I will go and find out.”
“No need,” Beatrice took back the card and, along with the ring, stuffed it back into the envelope and placed it in the drawer of the hallway, “She was not wrong.”
“Beatrice…”
‘Let’s go, I was hungry,” Beatrice said sensibly.
“Okay.”
Bella and Caden’s wedding remained the same.
Rather than saying it was the wedding of two families, it was more like a city–wide and internet–wide carnival. The night before the wedding, both hotels that were booked for the event were filled with various celebrities from the industry.
Those paparazzi didn’t sleep at all. If they weren’t photographing this celebrity, they were photographing that famous person. Without even going to the scene, the internet was already buzzing. Beatrice simply turned off her phone and took a magazine on hypnosis from the bookshelf. After flipping through two pages, she became dazed and didn’t know what she was thinking.
Ding dong.
The doorbell rang three times before she snapped out of it and went to open the door. Audrey also didn’t know where to find two crutches from, and she handed one to Beatrice.
“Are you free tomorrow?”
“What’s wrong?” Beatrice picked up her cane inexplicably.
“Tomorrow, I went mountain climbing to watch the sunrise.”
“Ah?”
Beatrice looked at Audrey in astonishment, trying to detect a hint of humor on her face.
I didn’t expect her to have an extremely serious expression.
Audrey rested both hands on her cane and said, “Go ahead, anyway this city is already lively enough, and it doesn’t lack the two of us.”
In an instant, Beatrice understood Audrey’s meaning.
“Okay.”
At 2 o’clock in the early morning of the next day, when the city was still asleep, Beatrice and Audrey took a car to

Holly Hill outside the city.

From the foot of the mountain to the top, it was lush and green, but pitch black, making people feel exceptionally small.
The two people walked and stopped, and it took them nearly three hours to climb to the top of the mountain.
When she sat down, Beatrice felt like her legs were not her own.
Audrey bent over, leaning on a cane, looking particularly funny.
Beatrice helped her sit down and then took out the pre–bought bread from her bag and handed it to her.
Audrey looked at her hand, which was not convenient, and broke half a loaf of bread for her. “How about it? Does it feel better?”
Beatrice put on her armor and nodded with a smile, saying, “Let’s go.”
The two of them started eating bread, and soon someone shouted.
“The sun rose.”
Beatrice looked up and gazed into the distance. The foggy sky revealed a touch of gold, and everything gradually became clear and bright.

Audrey complained countless times on Instagram that exercise and weight loss were killing her, so how could she suddenly want to go mountain climbing?
Beatrice knew what Caden meant.
The Baldwin family would only be reassured if the people of the Baldwin family confirmed that she would not attend the wedding.
“Beatrice, why are you crying?” Audrey quickly looked for tissues.
Beatrice raised her hand and touched her cheek, only to discover that her tears were uncontrollably streaming down her face.
She wiped it off haphazardly, saying, “The wind was too strong.”

“We’ve come all this way, we can’t go back empty–handed. I heard the temples here are very powerful, let’s go and pray at one too.”
Beatrice didn’t understand and asked, “What are you asking for?”
Audrey had a mournful face and said, “I got dumped, I am so miserable.”
“Weren’t you just in love?”
“I broke up.” Audrey crossed her arms.

Audrey pouted, “During the recent cold spell, I asked him to bring an extra jacket to work, and he said I was like an old mother. Now, if I show concern for him, I’m an old mother. If we really get married in the future, am I going to be a free babysitter?”

In order to comfort Audrey, Beatrice accompanied her into the temple.
Menus
The temple was not big, simple and ancient, appearing particularly peaceful in the shade of the trees.
The sunlight fell on the slightly mottled walls, filled with a sense of time’s sedimentation.
The sound of chanting could be heard from inside the hall, as people stood devoutly outside, praying for something.
After a moment, everyone lined up and went in.
Beatrice was also dragged into the line by Audrey, and she whispered, “I’m not seeking a marriage either.”
Audrey smiled and said, “You asked for the same thing before.”
Beatrice thought it made sense, after all, she had already come.
She followed Audrey into the hall, and the two of them bought candles. Then, they prayed in the flickering candlelight at the center of the hall.
Beatrice slowly closed her eyes.
I hope my hand could recover.
Hope the future goes smoothly.
I hope…
A face appeared in her mind, and she couldn’t help but open her eyes and look up at the Buddha statue. For some reason, she inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity in her heart.
But she had clearly never been to the mountain temple before.
When reminiscing, Audrey touched her with her arm.
“Put down the lamp, everyone is waiting behind.”
“Um.”
Beatrice snapped back to reality, placed the lamp on the table, and exited through the other side door. Before leaving, a humble young monk would ask everyone to choose a talisman, symbolizing their wishes coming
true.
Beatrice grabbed one and left the hall.
Just as I stepped onto a small stone bridge, an old man dressed in monk robes came onto the bridge with a few young monks.
The old man focused his gaze on her for a few seconds, nodded and smiled, as if he knew her. the old man walked straight down the bridge. Without waiting for
Beatrice’s response,
She came to her senses and politely made way for them.
In a daze, she saw a familiar figure among the crowd.
He walked silently at the back, with a look of vicissitudes in his eyes. His face remained the same, but his expression seemed to have aged twenty years.
Beatrice didn’t hesitate and chased after him.
After catching up, that figure disappeared without a trace.
She stood under the tree, looking lost.
Audrey gasped as she chased after Beatrice, “Beatrice, how do you still have the energy to run? I’m almost exhausted. What are you looking for?”
Beatrice looked away and shook her head, “It’s nothing. Let’s go.”

At that moment, the sound of a bell striking could be heard not far away.
Beatrice felt a sense of urgency deep within herself.
She immediately turned around and looked at the bell tower, where the person on top gradually merged with the person in her mind.
That person seemed
have sensed something and also turned around to
to

Beatrice.
It was him.
Caden.
How could he be here?
Wasn’t he supposed to be at the wedding scene?
“Beatrice? Beatrice!” Audrey called out loudly.
Beatrice woke up as if from a dream and looked again at the bell tower. That face disappeared and turned into the unfamiliar face of a little monk.
She frowned incredulously.
It was impossible, she definitely didn’t make a mistake.
It must have been Caden!
She grabbed Audrey and pointed to the bell tower, saying, “Audrey, who do you see

who else?”
Beatrice stared at the slightly swaying clock, the lingering sound growing fainter in her ears.
“Audrey, what time is it?”
“Just…” Audrey pursed her lips, “good timing.”
