My biological parents were nothing more than selfish,
vile creatures.
I lived in constant fear, day and night, terrified of being sent back to them and falling into an
inescapable pit.
Until my dying day, I remained unaware that someone had harbored secret affections for me for such a long
time.
Thankfully, the events of the dream will never come to pass. I didn’t reach the point of desperation where I foolishly attempted to use my body to keep Zack with
- me.
“There was never anything romantic between Zack and myself.”
“Lola.” Simon gently held my face and bent down to
kiss me.

I grasped his sleeves firmly, my fingers clenching and relaxing, “Simon…”
His kisses left me breathless. My knees weakened, and I could only cling tightly to his waist for support.
Simon’s lips trailed down to my neck, “Lola, these things don’t matter to me.”
“But hearing you say this still brings me great joy.”
“You see, men can be a bit possessive in this area.”
“I understand, Simon.”
“I’m telling you this not just to prevent him from tarnishing my reputation.”
“I’m doing it for your sake, and even more for

my own.”
With these words, I smiled at him and burrowed deeper into his jacket.
“Simon, let’s hurry home. I’m chilled to the bone.”
“Alright.” He took my hand, holding it very firmly.
And this handhold would endure for a lifetime.

I visited the White family and conversed with the elders for an entire afternoon. In the end, with Rose White’s intervention, the true daughter of the White family, I reclaimed my own guardianship rights.
From that point on, I had no more ties or associations with the White family.
I chose this timing because I knew the White family all too well. If they learned of my relationship with Simon, they would undoubtedly latch onto the Yates family like parasites. And I had no desire for Simon and the Yates family to become entangled in such troubles.
As I departed from the White residence, Mrs. White expressed her displeasure. “Lola, our family raised you for so many years, invested millions in you, and received nothing in return.”
In truth, my perspective has completely shifted now. The White family nurtured me like a precious gem for sixteen years, until the real Miss White returned.
I did endure a few very challenging years, but I wasn’t left to starve or freeze.

And Rose, who initially harbored such ill will towards me, inexplicably changed her attitude.
In retrospect, when the White family forced me to leave school and return to my birth parents, it was all due to Rose’s meddling.
