    Chapter 203: There’s Nothing | Can’t Let Go Of


    Trantor: End less Fantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    John’s name would forever remain in her heart, but it was no longer the only one there.


    She leaned against the railing, gazing at the high-rise buildings on the opposite side of the river. The shing neon lights


    decorated Jonan City colorfully.


    “There’s nothing | can let go of. It’s all in the past. Every one of us will go through some life experiences that we might not want


    to experience. There will always be someone who will leave a deep impression but also leave fleetingly. If | held on to everything,


    wouldn''t it be very tiring?”


    She chuckled softly and ran her fingers through her windblown hair. Then, she continued to say, “Everything that happened in the


    past will be washed away by time, and what | thought was true love will only turn out ordinary. In the end, that feeling will only


    exist in my memories and no longer be able to arouse the passion of my youth.”


    Gabriel listened to her in silence. Then, he let out a slight smile of self-mockery.


    It was as if he had lived the past twenty-eight years in vain. Though he had experienced so many ups and downs in the business


    world, he had never thought through anything the way Serenity did.


    Soon, the two found themselves walking to the dock, still admiring the colorful lights on the other side of the river. Their hearts


    were now unusually calm.


    Gabriel turned to look at the woman beside him. She was closing her eyes while taking a deep breath as if she was trying her


    best to absorb the local air of Jonan City.


    Her palm-sized face was covered by her messy hair, making her look even more delicate. Her slightly upturned chin was


    exquisitely sharp though the outline of her side profile was gentle.


    His coat hung a little too loosely for her, making her look even more petite and frail. It was almost as if a gust of wind could blow


    her away.


    Gabriel looked back at the river. “I’m suddenly curious. How did you survive alone in California?”


    Serenity was amused by his question and startedughing out loud. Then, she stuck out her tongue at him before saying, “I am


    an able-bodied person, so how could | not survive?”


    When she smiled, her eyes became clearer and brighter as if they were filled with stars. In fact, even the stars looked dim


    compared to her eyes.


    As if he was influenced by her positive spirit, the corners of Gabriel’s lips curled up and a faint voice spilled out from his cold lips


    as he asked, “Was it difficult to endure?”


    There was a hint of mncholy in his tone, though it could not overshadow the sexiness it carried. Serenity couldn’t help herself


    from turning to look at him suspiciously. “You’ve experienced something simr?”


    Gabriel fell silent, looking straight ahead at the misty river as the breeze blew past his ears.


    He might not have answered her, but Serenity was a smart person and decided not to pursue the matter further. She leaned her


    elbow against the railing and rested her chin on her palm as she looked at the lights of the city on the other side of the river.


    After a while, Gabriel returned to his usual cold self and said, “Caleb should be done by now. Let’s go back.”


    He left swiftly and Serenity jogged behind him to catch up. The two eventually reached the car. Caleb was about to call them


    when he saw them approach.


    It was already past eleven o’clock at night when they returned to the hotel so Serenity went to bed after taking a shower.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Meanwhile, in the presidential suite, Gabriel stood on the balcony and looked at the river. His left hand was in his pocket while


    his right hand was holding a wine ss. The light on the balcony was a little dim, making the red wine in the ss a little dull.


    His eyes turned darker than the night sky and sharper than an eagle''s gaze. Yet, there was a hint of mncholy between his


    brows.


    He suddenly recalled what Serenity said by the river and remembered how relieved she sounded..
