Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 465

Emilia watched the way Bella and Theodore interacted, and a gentle warmth filled her heart.

She cherished moments like this—simple happiness. It felt like home.

Fireworks continued to light up the sky, one burst after another, lingering far longer than anyone expected.

The drone fireworks display was destined to become the talk of the town. People everywhere began speculating about its meaning.

Soon enough, word got out: it was organized by the Glenn family and, more specifically, was aimed at Theodore.

Once everyone connected the dots—Theodore’s successful proposal and this extravagant show—they understood.

“So Theodore’s trying to outdo Tyler, huh? Ha! When Tyler married Emilia, he put on a firework show, so now Theodore’s putting on an even bigger one!”

“This is great! I love a little friendly competition. I hope they keep trying to one-up each other—maybe we’ll get more fireworks, some coupons, or even a little cash out of it!”

“Haha, someone’s clearly had too much caffeine during the last round of the delivery wars.”

“I don’t really care about their drama. What I want to know is, why hasn’t Vivienne made a statement yet?”

“Exactly! It’s basically confirmed that Vivienne live-streamed from Emilia’s former house without permission—including showing off private details of her home. Why is she suddenly hiding now? Wasn’t she all over social media just the other day?”

Online chatter exploded. Some people egged Theodore and Tyler on, hoping for more public rivalry and perks. Others demanded an explanation and an apology from Vivienne.

Opinions flew in every direction.

At last, the fireworks faded from the sky. The drones drifted away, and Theodore drove Emilia and Bella home.

Once they arrived, Bella tugged Emilia off to a quiet corner.

Theodore, noticing the two needed privacy, pretended to busy himself with something in the car.

Bella led Emilia by the hand beneath a small tree.

“Miss Emilia, is Mr. Theodore your boyfriend now?” Bella asked, her voice earnest.

Emilia crouched down to meet Bella’s eyes and nodded. “He is.”

Emilia was genuinely happy.

There were so many reasons—the success of her new product launch, letting go of the past, her growing bond with Theodore, and the fact that Bella’s adoption paperwork was nearly complete.

Everything was finally moving in the right direction.

She slept soundly that night, dreaming of good things to come.

The next morning, Emilia had barely gotten out of bed when her phone rang.

“Emily, I need you to come to the Erickson Group,” Parker Erickson’s voice said on the other end. “There are a few things in the contract I think we should discuss and possibly amend.”

“Tyler and Vivienne are already here.”

Emilia’s heart clenched.

Parker had always treated her well—but that was when she was still the Erickson family’s daughter-in-law. Now that she’d publicly accepted Theodore’s proposal, would everything change?
