Immediately, Zoya dismissed the fleeting thought that had just flashed through her mind.

She and Wren were originally completely unrelated. She couldn’t recall ever having interacted with the Richmond family when she was a child.
Therefore, she felt that she could not possibly have known Wren when he was a child.
Additionally, someone with Wren’s looks, even as a child, would surely have been striking.
Her memory had always been good. She simply couldn’t recall ever having seen someone like Wren when she was a child.
“Alright then, let’s make a pinky promise,” Zoya said, extending her pinky finger.
Their pinky fingers hooked together.
“Pinky promise, never change for a hundred years,” Wren softly murmured, reciting the phrase that Zoya had been extremely familiar with since childhood.
A flicker of daze crossed Zoya’s eyes.
It was as if she saw her past self, having made a pinky promise with someone in this manner before.
Daphne looked at the scene before her, clenching her jaw tightly, her eyes filled with jealousy and hatred.
She thought, ‘Wren is actually making a pinky promise with Zoya!’
She remembered a time when she and Wren had seen two children making a pinky promise. Wren had been captivated by the sight, so she suggested, “Then let’s make a pinky promise too.”
But back then, Wren merely gave her an indifferent glance, saying, “I don’t need any promises from you, and I don’t plan to give you any either.”
It was as if she were just an insignificant person in his eyes.
But her eyes were ruined by him.
She thought, ‘If it weren’t for him, how could one of my eyes be nearly blind?'”
She paid such a price, finally getting close to him.
But he wasn’t even willing to pinky promise with her.
But now, he made a pinky promise with Zoya.
Daphne felt that Zoya didn’t deserve that.
At this moment, Eowyn and Harvey also witnessed this scene.
Harvey subconsciously tried to rush forward, but Eowyn pulled him back, saying, “Today is Zoya’s parents’ funeral. Don’t cause any trouble.”
Harvey paused, his thin lips almost forming a straight line.

“I wonder if Wren likes Zoya,” Eowyn muttered.
After all, this scene, which could almost be called warm, simply couldn’t be associated with Wren’s usual image.
She felt that perhaps the jealousy she saw in Wren’s eyes earlier wasn’t her imagination.
Harvey said coldly. “He likes her? Dream on!”

“Are you afraid he will snatch Zoya away? Don’t worry, Zoya just got divorced. She’s not in the mood for romance right now,” Eowyn said nonchalantly.
Harvey pressed his lips together, his gaze fixed intently on the scene before him.
He was indeed afraid.
Back then, he had already lost her once. He only found out about her marriage after she tied the knot, and then suddenly realized he didn’t even have a chance to confess his feelings.
So, in frustration, he went abroad for three years, originally thinking he could let go of his feelings for her.
But the moment he returned to the country and saw her, he realized it was all just self-deception. He simply couldn’t do it.
On one hand, he was angry that Nicolas didn’t cherish Zoya properly, but on the other hand, he felt fortunate, for if not for that. Zoya would not have gotten divorced.
In that case, maybe he would never have another chance.
Now, she had just gotten divorced, and it coincided with her parents’ burial, so he wanted to wait a while before telling her his feelings.
But he didn’t expect that Wren would suddenly join the competition.
After the funeral, Zoya told Wren, “I won’t go back to the villa with you. I want to stay a bit longer to spend some time with my parents.”
Then I’ll stay with you for a while,” Wren said.
“No, I want to talk to them alone,” Zoya said.
Too many people came to bid farewell to her parents at today’s burial ceremony, but after everything concluded, she wanted to be alone with them.
Wren gazed at Zoya for a moment, then replied, “Okay.”
He turned and left. Zoya stood alone in front of her parents’ tombstone, quietly looking at their black and white photo on
the tombstone.
In the photo, her parents’ smiles were bright and resolute, like their convictions, dazzling and unwavering.
“Mom and Dad, rest in peace,” Zoya murmured, “From now on, I will often come here to see you, and I will also bring my brother to see you!
“What you loved, I will continue to love. What you protected, I will also continue to protect.
“I’m divorced. I’ve always admired your love, Mom and Dad. Sadly, I wasn’t so lucky.

“But even if I’m divorced, even if that relationship fails, I will make the most of every day and won’t be trapped by that failed relationship.
“There’s so much more to my life than just love. I hope that when I grow old and meet you in the afterlife, I can proudly say I was a worthy daughter of Felix and Celina!”
Zoya stood before the tombstone, speaking softly, as if chatting casually with her parents.
Yet in her words, there was a wealth of longing.
Outside the cemetery, as Wren exited, his bodyguards were about to step forward when a figure rushed past them, pinning Wren against the wall.
The Richmond family’s bodyguards stiffened, ready to act.
Wren, however, raised his hand, stopping his bodyguards, and looked at Harvey, whose elbow was pressed against his neck. “Mr. Crawford, are you going to attack me?”
Harvey stared coldly at Wren. “What if I said yes?”
Then you can forget leaving here safely today, Mr. Crawford,” Wren said calmly.
Nearby, Eowyn, who had been walking out of the cemetery with Harvey, was about to ask Harvey if they should wait for Zoya.
When she turned around, Harvey had already rushed toward Wren.
Eowyn finally came to her senses and quickly stepped forward. “Everyone here is Zoya’s friend. There’s no need for this.”
However, both men ignored her words.
Harvey glared at Wren. “I’m warning you, Zoya is not someone you can toy with. If you dare lay a finger on her, I won’t spare you!”
Wren slightly raised his eyelids. “What if I’m not toying with her?”
Harvey was startled, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
“I haven’t been toying with Zoya, and furthermore-” Wren’s voice suddenly paused. “What happens between Zoya and me is not for you to interfere with!”
As he finished speaking, he immediately struck, attacking Harvey.
The two men instantly broke into a brawl.
Eowyn was dumbfounded. She wanted to stop them, but if she rushed over, she would probably just get punched.
So, she could only shout at Wren’s bodyguards, “Aren’t you going to stop them?”
“Mr. Richmond didn’t tell us to act,” the leading bodyguard replied.
Eowyn was speechless. She thought, ‘When will this fight end?
‘Do they really need to determine a winner?’
Harvey’s fighting style clearly came from military training, with orthodox moves and steady punches, while Wren’s style

gave a more fierce and ruthless impression
towyn knew about Harvey’s skills, but she hadn’t expected Wren’s to be so powerful. Five minutes pased as Forwyn watched anxiously, fearing someone might get hurt.
Ten minutes passed, and Eowyn was still anxious, but about when the fight would end.
Fibern minutes later, Kowyn’s anxiety turned into numbness.
Are you two done fighting yet? You can take a break, drink some water, take a break… Eowyn muttered.
Just then a person suddenly rushed towards the two men who were still fighting
kowyn was started, her gaze fized on the figure in surprise.
