Chapter 25
The sports car stopped in front of the Chinese restaurant, and Julian unbuckled his seatbelt, turning to look at Elizabeth in the passenger seat.
“Elizabeth, I performed so well today. Don’t I get some kind of reward?”
Elizabeth closed the documents in her hands, raising an eyebrow: “Why should I give you a reward?”
“I dutifully played your fiancé and successfully drove away your ex-husband.”
“You really investigated me?”
Elizabeth pretended to be angry. After working with Julian several times, their interactions had gradually become more relaxed.
But seeing how quickly he had recognized Sebastian’s identity, she couldn’t help asking.
“Your story came out with just a little inquiry. You can’t blame me for that.”
Julian said pitifully: “But I deserve some credit for my hard work today, right?”
Elizabeth was already used to his nonsense and smiled helplessly: “Fine, what do you want?”
“Treat me to dinner! At that new Southern BBQ place.”
As Julian spoke, he was already pushing open the car door, walking around to open her door and gallantly extending his hand.
Elizabeth hadn’t expected his request to be so simple.
She agreed to have dinner with him as he wished..
Julian suddenly put down his chopsticks, looking at Elizabeth with complete seriousness: “Actually, today is my birthday.”
Elizabeth was stunned.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier? I didn’t have time to prepare a gift.”
“It’s okay.”
Julian interrupted her, “But since it’s my birthday, could you grant me one wish?”
Seeing his rarely serious expression, Elizabeth found herself nodding: “Alright.”
Julian took a deep breath, his eyes becoming tender yet determined: “Elizabeth, I like you. From the first time I saw you at the airport, to getting to know you later, I’ve become more and more certain of these feelings.”
“So could you be my girlfriend? I want to stand by your side openly.”
Elizabeth was stunned. Julian’s sincerity made her eyes well up.
For the past three years, she had been so humble in love, reduced to dust, yet had never received such a passionate confession.
Now, the person in front of her was healing her wounds bit by bit in his own way.
“Yes.”
She said softly, her lips curving into a long-lost, genuine smile from the heart.
A year later, Elizabeth saw news about Sebastian.
After giving away everything he owned, Sebastian ended his life in silence.
Meanwhile, Clarissa had been arrested for falsifying accounts and faced indefinite legal sanctions.
Her parents had actually come once after Clarissa’s downfall, wanting to repair their relationship with Elizabeth, but Elizabeth had directly refused.

Chapter 25
She could accept that Sebastian liked Clarissa, but her own parents not loving their biological daughter was something Elizabeth could never
understand.
However, she did keep the card her parents gave her, though Elizabeth didn’t spend the money herself-instead, she donated it all to domestic charitable organizations.
The people she once knew had all met unexpected fates, and she couldn’t help but sigh.
Julian wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder: “What are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought.”
Elizabeth shook her head: “Nothing, just suddenly feeling a bit nostalgic.”
“Then let me ask you a question.” Julian turned her around, looking seriously into her eyes: “Between me and Sebastian, who’s more handsome?”
Elizabeth looked at his childish expression and deliberately teased him: “I think he might be a bit more handsome.”
Julian’s eyes immediately widened in disbelief: “What? Impossible! I actually lost to him?”
Seeing his ruffled appearance, Elizabeth finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto both of them, warm and bright.
She leaned into Julian’s embrace, thinking that every second of this moment was worth treasuring.
The pain of the past had long been released, and the future path should be walked slowly with the right person.
