Chapter 406
When I got back to my apartment, I sank onto the couch. Tears were streaming down my face.
My mind replayed all the moments we shared-the times of both joy and heartache.
I remembered the first time I met him, the calm and warmth that emanated from him. I also remembered the encouragement he gave me when we worked side by side.
But I also knew there were too many obstacles between us.
His family, his responsibilities, and the complex history between us made this love difficult and unspeakable.
Perhaps one day, when we've both grown mature and brave enough...
Tears blurred my vision as I hugged the pillow close to my chest.
That night, sleep eluded me.
...
In the morning, sunlight streamed through the curtains and gently touched my face. I rubbed my tired eyes and forced myself to get up.
In the mirror, I saw a weary face, yet one marked by resolve. I had to pull myself together. I couldn't let this love disrupt my life.
After getting ready, I called Kevin.
"Kevin, I'm ready to head back. How's the competition prep going on your end?"
On the other end of the line, Kevin's voice was full of energy. "Don't worry, Eve. Everything is going according to plan. You just focus on sorting things out at home. I've got everything covered here." I chuckled softly. "Thank you, Kevin. I'm really lucky to have you as my partner."
His voice lightened with a smile. "Likewise. Eve, don't push yourself too much. If you need anything, just let me know."
After hanging up, a weight seemed to lift from my heart.

and a
Couture full of possibilities. 't let a love that never cl
fruition hold me back.
I packed my bags and got ready to head back.
The airport was buzzing with people on their way to various destinations.
Ethan, I loved you. But I loved the courageous, dream-pursuing version of myself even more.
After more than a dozen hours of flying, I stepped onto the land where I had once studied and lived. My body was weary from the journey The ainstill seemed to carry traces of my past struggles and hard work.
Kevin was already waiting for me at the airport. At the sight of his familiar figure, a wave of warmth washed over me. "Kevin, it's been a while," I said.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
He quickly approached and grabbed my suitcase. "Welcome back, Eve. How was your time there?"
I smiled. "Adapting wasn't the issue. I just went through a lot."
Kevin nodded. "Well, that's good. Let's get you to your place to rest, and we'll catch up later."
Back at my familiar room, I looked around. Everything seemed the same, except for the person I had become.
Only by continuously growing and becoming stronger could I break free from the shadows of the past and pursue a better tomorrow.
In the evening, I met Kevin at a restaurant near the university. This restaurant held many shared memories between us.
As we ate and talked, he gave me a detailed update on the competition preparations.
"Don't worry, Eve. Our design proposal is nearly finalized. I'm confident we'll stand out in the competition."
I looked at him with gratitude. "Thank you so much, Kevin. I really don't know what I'd do without your support."
Kevin waved his hand and smiled.
"Here you go again. We're friends and partners. It's the least I can do. But what about you? You've been through a lot recently, haven't you?"
