?Chapter 913:


    Two nights ago, Anika had proposed that she apany Rhys back to their home country. She confessed to having been too stern before, which had prevented Rhys from assuring his parents of his safety. She even offered to be part of the Green family permanently and suggested they could marry in Mogluylia and settle there.


    Eugenia yed along with Anika’s charade, rejecting their proposal and even iming she would withhold the antidote if they went back to Mogluylia.


    Anika’s tears and pleas eventually swayed her.


    Rhys concealed his emotions perfectly, especially at this critical moment.


    He had always portrayed himself as obedient to Anika’s advice, so he epted her suggestion without hesitation.


    Rhys had secretly orchestrated a n to unravel Eugenia’s and Anika’s plots one by one once back home.


    His goal was not only to uncover their reasons for saving him but also to personally neutralize the threats they posed to Harlee.


    Later, Anika attempted to pry information about the Green family from Rhys, but he did not reveal anything, maintaining he was out of the loop about their current status.


    But the truth was, Rhys was fully informed.


    He knew of Harlee’s struggles to marry into the Green family.


    He was aware of her efforts to sustain his businesses.


    He once believed his love for her was deeper than her feelings for him, yet their love was, in reality, mutual and profound.

    Half an hourter, Harlee absentmindedly wrapped up her lunch. Throughout the meal, she responded to Noel’s questions casually.


    Even with the answer that Rhys hadn’t prepared the dish, Harlee still focused on that single te,rgely ignoring the rest.


    Noel chose not to delve deeper into her wellbeing, instead shifting the conversation to light topics to help her rx.


    After the meal, Harlee cited a project as her reason to leave early.


    Rushing out of the restaurant, Harlee identally collided with a young girl.


    “Sorry…” she murmured, and upon raising her eyes, she froze.


    The man holding the girl’s hand was gazing at Harlee.


    Harlee locked eyes with the man.


    After three years, Harlee had envisioned many scenarios for her reunion with Rhys, yet none were as abrupt and intense as this.


    Harlee’s hands tightened into fists, but when she gathered the strength to meet Rhys’ gaze, his calm and unshaken expression brought a surprising sense of peace over her. It appeared she was the only one clinging to the past, to a dream she had crafted for herself.


    Regaining her poise, Harlee managed a calm smile.


    “It’s been a while.”


    Rhys stepped forward with a seemingly casual demeanor, his first nce checking on Anika for any injuries before his eyes met Harlee’s.


    His gaze at Harlee was as indifferent as if he were looking at a stranger, yet he maintained his characteristic poise.
