The expression on Frida’s face turned cold, “Zach, It has been four years, and it’s time for you to fulfillthe promise you made back then. Don’t forget about the agreement we signed.”

Madelyn’s phone rang as soon as she said those words. After seeing the caller ID, she hesitated for amoment before answering. Then, she spoke in an annoyed tone, “You said you were going to give methree days, and the time hasn’t come yet.”
“If you want to go to her grave. I’ll come with you in the afternoon after I’m done with my meeting.” Zachreplied.
“I don’t need you to go with me. I can go alone.
“It’s either you don’t go or let me come with you. Your choice,” he responded, his voice immediatelyturning cold.
She did not really have a choice, did she?
So. Madelyn reluctantly agreed. “Then I’ll wait for you downstairs later.”
She did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
The sky was sunny and bright in the morning but suddenly turned cloudy by afternoon, as if there mightbe a heavy rain later. So, Madelyn brought an umbrella with her, just in case.
The bodyguard drove as Madelyn sat in the rear passenger seat. The journey lasted for more than anhour before they finally arrived at the Jardin Corporation.
Madelyn sat inside the car with a bouquet of balloon flowers that symbolized eternal love.
Some said that when balloon flowers bloomed, happiness would follow. Some people would be able toseize it, while others were destined to miss it.
In the mansion she lived in when she was younger, there was a large patch of balloon flowers plantedin the garden. Rosario told Madelyn that her mother had planted them in the past, but for some reason,all of them withered overnight.
Madelyn was starting to get impatient as she looked up to the top floor of the building, which was barelyvisible.
After about half an hour, she finally saw someone coming out of the building.
Madelyn withdrew her gaze and her expression turned calm. She thought that they would not meetagain for three days.
Zach got into the car, wrapped his arm around her waist, and took a deep whiff of the fragrance on her,just like before. “I’ve made a reservation at a restaurant for tonight.”
Madelyn ignored him and said nonchalantly, “Let’s go. It might rain soon.”
The car started.
Zach noticed the black dress she was wearing, and it reminded him of a person deep in his mind. Aftermore than twenty years, he only had a vague memory of her silhouette. However, he could not denythat her beauty was truly one of a kind, and describing her as breathtaking would be anunderstatement.
The car drove on the mountain road for a while, and soon, they arrived at the bottom of the hill
They had to walk for the remaining stretch of the journey.
Madelyn still remembered where the grave was located. However, when they were just halfway intotheir journey, she was already drenched in cold sweat. Her steps were unsteady, and she feltsomething wrong with her body. The journey was only supposed to take them a little more than tenminutes, yet Madelyn spent almost half an hour. The sky would be dark by the time they arrived at thegrave if they kept this up.
“I’ll carry you on my back.” Zach immediately went to hold her up as soon as he saw her struggling. Hegently wiped off the sweat from her forehead and frowned as he asked, “Why does your hand feel socold? Are you feeling sick?”
“I should’ve worn thicker clothes. I’m fine. Let’s keep walking. It’s already getting late.”
Zach look off his blazer and put it on for Madelyn. Then, he lifted her off the ground and strode forwardwith steady and swift steps. Madelyn felt very comfortable in his arms.

Madelyn looked around the grave and realized that it was very clean. There was even a bouquet ofballoon flowers placed in front of the tombstone.
