This humbled, almost pleading version of Dylan was a side of him that Suzy had never seen
before.
In her memory, he had always been aloof and untouchable, standing high above everyone else. But now, here he was, using such a low, vulnerable tone to beg for her forgiveness. Her gaze flickered slightly, but her voice remained steady as she spoke. “It’s impossible.”
Those simple words were spoken softly, yet they crashed into Dylan’s heart like a boulder, leaving a deep, gaping wound.
The ache that followed was almost unbearable, like a raw opening letting the cold wind rush in, nearly causing him to lose his balance.
He had thought that if he tried hard enough, if his sincerity shone through, he could still have a chance. But Suzy had just delivered the final verdict, shattering any hope he had left.
Suzy could feel the sorrow radiating from him. Gently removing his arms from around her, she turned to face him. Her calm eyes met his, and under the soft glow of the mountainto lights, his pain was painfully clear.
“I’ve told you many times, Dylan,” she said, her voice steady but resolute. “The moment we officially signed the divorce papers, everything between us was over.
“Whether you’ve truly fallen in love with me or, as Anne claimed, you’re doing all of this for revenge–it ends here.”
“I’m not-” Dylan began, his voice urgent, but Suzy raised a hand to cut him off.
“Whether you are or not makes no difference to me,” she said, her tone unyielding. “The outcome remains the same.”
With that, she turned and began walking down the mountain.
She hadn’t planned to drive, given that she’d been drinking, and the car was Dylan’s anyway–she had no intention of driving it back.
Watching her silhouette grow smaller, Dylan clutched his chest, the pain intensifying with every step she took away from him. Regret gnawed at him, but he forced himself to regain composure,
He quickly got back in the car and drove to catch up with her. “Let me

take you home.”
“I won’t say anything you don’t want to hear,” Dylan said, his voice softer now. “Just get in the car.”

Finally, Suzy paused. “Someone’s coming to pick me up.”
At her words, Dylan’s first thought was of that man who looked exactly like Claude.

exasperated. He was acting like some tragic, devoted hero.
The pitiful look on his face might have worked on someone else, but unfortunately for him, she wasn’t buying it.
If he wanted to stay, so be it–that was his decision.
Seeing that Suzy neither agreed nor refused, Dylan quickly got out of the car.
The mountain air was chilly at night. He took off his jacket and moved to drape it over her shoulders, but as he approached, Suzy cut him off sharply.
“Don’t bother. And if you really plan to stay, do me a favor–don’t do anything, and don‘
say anything.”
Dylan froz
Were all women this ruthless when they made up their minds?
Afraid of upsetting her further, he silently stepped to the side. Just as she requested, he didn’t move, didn’t speak, and barely even breathed until a sleek black BMW pulled up in front of Suzy.
The car door opened, and Dylan’s eyes narrowed like blades as he stared, expecting to see him.
But the person who stepped out wasn’t who he had imagined.
Instead…
“Aunt…” Suzy greeted the woman with a calm yoice.
Dylan instantly recognized her, even though they had never met formally.
The person who came for Suzy was Charlotte.
Suzy was the Frost family heiress, and Charlotte was her last living relative.
Reminding himself of this connection, Dylan stepped forward, ready to greet her. “Good evening, Aunt-
Before he could finish, Charlotte interrupted coldly, “Mr. Wright, you and Suzy are divorced. Calling me that feels a bit inappropriate now. Perhaps you should find another

way to address me.”
Dylan was speechless. Was it just a Frost family trait to have this kind of temperament?
