Chapter 97 Promises are Sometimes Fragile.

“Yes,” Kenneth said, knowing there was no need to hide the truth. The guest house wasn’t large, and Farrah and Adrian would meet soon enough.

To avoid any misunderstandings, he explained, “Ms. Keller is here as well. She has a project that needs to be developed in this area, so she’s here for an on–site inspection.”

“Oh, I see.” Farrah smiled, her tone relaxed.

If she didn’t even care about Sierra, why would she care about Germaine?

Farrah was confident in her position as Mrs. Locke. As long as she had someone to accompany her in her later years, she wouldn’t fade into obscurity. Her remaining thoughts were solely focused on her career

While Kenneth was helping her with the check–in, she inquired, “Are the old houses around here far from the guest house?”

“Not too far. They’re just behind the guest house. But be careful, it gets slippery when it rains, and many of them are uninhabited. What inspiration could you possibly replace there?”

“The fact that they’re uninhabited makes it even better!” Farrah was eager to replace those spider webs. She was very excited as she took the room key from him. Thank you. I’ll transfer the payment to you!”

“No need. Your expenses can be reimbursed by Mr. Locke,” Kenneth said. “If you need a car, just call me. I’m nearby.”

“No, no, no.” Farrah quickly waved her hands, smiling.

“He’s here on a business trip, so he’ll need the car. You don

need to worry about me or inform him that I’m here. I’m just here to take some photos and then I’ll leave. I’m checking in with luggage just in case.

*Alright, then you take care,” Kenneth said fondly. He had taken a liking to her. “Do you need help with your luggage?”

“No, it’s very light. I can carry it myself.” Her smile was infectious. She truly disliked bothering others, bur she felt immensely happy when people were kind to her.

As Farrah carried her suitcase upstairs and approached her room, she was about to swipe the key card when Germaine emerged from the neighboring room, holding a plate of strawberries.

Their eyes met, and Germaine’s expression darkened. “Farrah?”

As Farrah opened her door and turned to face Germaine, the two women locked eyes.

Germaine asked, visibly displeased, “Why are you still here? You seem to pop up everywhere!” She felt all her plans were falling apart.

Farrah pushed the door open and casually replied, “Some things never belonged to you in the first place. yet you’re always afraid of them being taken away. Don’t you replace that amusing?”

Germaine’s face flushed with anger and embarrassment. She was clearly feeling mocked

Not wanting to argue with her, Farrah turned and stepped into her room, locking the door behind her

li Germaine hadn’t provoked her, she would’ve treated her like she was transparent. But every time she Saw Germaine open her mouth with ill intentions, Farrah’s temper flared.

Forget it! She wouldn’t let an unrelated person affect her mood. Sitting by the window, she pulled out her phone and admired the photos of the spiderwebs she had taken that day. They were stunningly beautiful, like masterpieces of nature

Chap 9 Promises are Soundinden Tragile

Outside, the rain continued to fall. She glanced at the rainy scenery. The greenery was lush, and the air was particularly fresh here, making it a perfect place for introspection.

Once the rain lightened up, she would grab an umbrella and go for a walk.

Meanwhile, Adrian was also sitting by the window, reflecting. He couldn’t help but think of Sierra, recalling that evening under the camphor tree when they sheltered from the rain.

“Sierra, when you turn 22, I want to give you the most beautiful necklace in the world! It’ll be called Enduring Moments! It’ll be a piece made exclusively for you.”

Sierra jokingly replied, “But what if we break up? That’s still five years away. You never know what the future holds.”

“I’ll own up to my word.” Adrian tenderly cupped her face, their eyes meeting in a shared smile.

He pulled her in closer and said, “Even if we break up, I’ll still follow through. I want the whole world to know. I just hope that when you see it, you’ll remember the beautiful times we shared together.”

“Silly, we’re never breaking up! I’m going to marry you. We’ll get married right after we graduate?” “Alright, it’s a promise.” That day, Adrian felt an unprecedented sense of joy, as if even the air was sweet.
