Stephen stood up to find Ethan, but as soon as he did, he felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Liam caught him in time.
“Why are you going to find Mr. Rivers?”
Stephen shook Liam’s hand away and said, “He knew that Snow’s parents died, so he must know where her hometown is. I have to go find him.”
He staggered and hurriedly left the station.
Although Liam did not like Stephen, he could not help but worry seeing Stephen like this. It would be troublesome if an accident happened on the way.
He quickly caught up to him and said, “I’ll bring you there.”
With Liam’s driving, the two soon arrived at Ethan’s villa.
At that moment, the villa gates were open just like before, as if awaiting their arrival.
Stephen took a deep breath and mustered the courage to walk in.
When he reached the living room, he heard a beautiful song playing.
[The church’s doves will never kiss the crows.
[Just like how I’m unworthy of him under the stars.
[How did time bring us to this sunset?
[We smile and say there’s no other way.]
The woman’s voice was melodic, but Stephen felt like a dagger was piercing his heart.
Especially the last line.
There was no other way!
He had personally handcuffed Snow and sent her to prison. The Quinns could not get her out, and in the end, he had even scolded her…
Stephen slowly looked toward Ethan. He was sitting there, reading a letter.
Stephen felt stunned for a moment.
Snow had also left him a letter. It was a final goodbye.
“Mr. Rivers.” Liam stepped up and lowered his head. “Stephen found out that Snow was
buried in her hometown and insists on knowing where her hometown is.‘

Ethan put down the letter and looked at Stephen.
Stephen snapped out of his senses and walked up to Ethan in a daze, staring at him. “What is this song supposed to mean?”
Ethan smiled faintly. “It’s a new song I wrote, called ‘No Other Way‘. What do you think. about it?”
Stephen clenched his fists. He felt like this song was played just to deliberately provoke him!
“Then, what’s that letter you’re reading?“.
Ethan continued to smile faintly. “It’s from a friend. What? Has no one written to you. before?”
Stephen felt like he had been shot in the heart.
There was, but that person was dead. He would never see her again. He still owed her an apology.
“Do you know that Snow is dead?” Stephen asked in a low voice.
Ethan put down the letter. “Yes.”
“Then, do you know where her hometown is?”
“Yes.”
Stephen trembled, his eyes reddening instantly “Can you tell me?”
Ethan said calmly, “Give me a good reason to.”
Stephen said, “I want to see her, even if it’s just her grave.”
“That’s your problem. I don’t want to see her grave,” Ethan said. “Next.”
“I let her down. I want to apologize to her.”
“That has nothing to do with me. Next.”
Stephen was silent for a moment, then lowered his head. “I love her.”
you “That has nothing to do with me either.” Ethan chuckled. “You keep saying that her, but you didn’t believe her. Even after she’s dead, you don’t know where she’s buried. What a failure of love.”
love
Stephen was silent. He felt his heart clench. Ethan’s words were like bullets piercing him mercilessly.
“You can’t even give me a proper reason. It seems you don’t really miss her after all.”

Stephen stared at Ethan. A few seconds later, he said in a softer voice, “What do I have to do for you to tell me where her hometown is?”
Ethan smiled. “If you can answer one question, I’ll consider it.”
