Chapter 108
Before long, the starting lineup took to the field, players dressed in white uniforms, each one looking energetic.
When Thomas appeared, the crowd erupted with cheers, mostly from girls. “Thomas, go for it!” and “Thomas, you’re the best rang out.
As Thomas‘ sister, Seraphina felt an immense sense of pride at that moment…
Since it was a home game, the team performed exceptionally well. Within just ten minutes of the match. Thomas lived up to expectations and scored a goal, sending the crowd into a frenzy
Throughout the ninety–minute game, every minute was exciting tense, and exhilarating. In the end, the Zeloria national team won against their opponent with a score of 2-1, successfully advancing to the next round.
The players hugged and cheered on the field. As one of the stars of the match with two goals, Thomas was lifted up by his teammates and tossed into the air.
From the crowd, girls shouted in excitement. “Thomas, I love you!”
Seraphina left the stadium with the crowd flowing out, where fans were surging toward the exit of the players lounge, waiting for them to come out
A team bus was parked at the entrance of the stadium, where the players would board soon. Security lines surrounded the area isolating fans outside, but their enthusiasm remained high as they hoped to catch a glimpse of their idol.
Suddenly, someone yelled, “How can they go in?”
The security guard replied, “Of course they can. They are from the board.”
The fans dared not argue any
further.
As Seraphina passed by, she glanced over and saw two people enter the players‘ lounge. One of them made her pause, as it looked like Lucia. However, since she didn’t see the girl’s face clearly, Seraphina couldn’t be certain.
The dress that person wore was the same as the one Lucia had worn while shopping. Her figure was tall a aura was similar to Lucia’s.
and slender, and the
Seraphina thought, ‘But Lucia said she wouldn’t come to watch Thomas play, and she certainly wouldn’t go to the players lounge. It must be just a coincidence with the dress‘ So, Seraphina left.
That evening, Thomas had to celebrate with the team and didn’t have time to accompany Seraphina.
Lucia also went with her mother to visit relatives, so after eating dinner alone, Seraphina went to bed. She initially wanted to find a movie to watch, but she fell asleep halfway through, feeling inexplicably off these past few days.
The next day, Seraphina took an early flight back to Angoria. At the airport, the sun shone brightly, and Seraphina wore sunglasses as she walked toward the taxi pickup area. Seraphina quietly stood in line, waiting for a taxi. Her beauty and outstanding demeanor made her stand out in the crowd.
As taxi after taxi passed by, the line began to shorten. When Seraphina reached the front, no taxis arrived for a long time. She thought, I really do have bad luck
“Wow, that car is beautiful, someone suddenly exclaimed.
“That license plate is interesting too, five 9s, another person commented
“The owner must be very wealthy”

“Sure. That license plate belongs to Vanderbilt Group. It must be the car Clarence usually takes”
Hearing the name Clarence hit Seraphina like a jolt. She had been looking down at her phone, but upon hearing the last comments, she lifted her gaze.
From the direction of the arriving taxis, a Maybach slowly approached, its shiny body reflecting the surrounding scenery. The license plate was striking, reminding Seraphina of the owners status.
Seraphina thought, ‘So that is indeed Clarence’s car. What are the odds of running into him here? Is he inside?‘ As she tightened her grip on her suitcase handle, a wave of anxiety washed over her, leaving her unsure of how to face the situation.
She wondered. If he’s in the car, when it passes by me, will he see me? If he sees me, what would he feel?‘
In the past few days, she tried hard to suppress her thoughts about everything between them. She appeared calm and indifferent on the outside, but only she knew about the tears that fell uncontrollably every night before sleep. The turbulent waves surged only within her heart. Although it was her decision to leave, forgetting the past was not easy for her.
Seraphina lowered her head, hoping Clarence wasn’t sitting in the car. Even if he were in the car, he probably wouldn’t see her. He had always looked down on everything and would likely miss her completely. But here she was, at the front of the
line.
A taxi drove up behind the Maybach. Seraphina dragged her suitcase and hurried toward the taxi.
Clarence sat in the back seat, closing his laptop. He glanced out the window when a figure suddenly flashed by, causing him to pause for a moment as his gaze landed on the rearview mirror.
Seraphina quickly opened the back door of the taxi and brought her suitcase inside. The taxi overtook the Maybach on its side.
In the rearview mirror, another taxi followed closely, and Clarence stared at it for a long time. He thought, ‘I believed I had forgotten. But seeing her suddenly, I realized I could still fall for her…
Once Seraphina got into the car, tears inexplicably began to flow.
The driver asked her, “Miss, where to?”
Seraphina sniffled, trying to control her emotions, and then provided the address. She hadn’t told Shirley about her return home. At this time, Shirley was at work.
Dragging her suitcase, Seraphina walked slowly down the street, feeling like a homeless stray cat. After leaving Clarence’s villa, she had nowhere to go. A sharp pain struck her heart again.
Looking up at the sky, she took several deep breaths to regain control of her tears. She opened the door to her home, and at faint floral scent rushed to meet her. In the narrow living room, the bouquet of roses on the dining table stood out vividly, emanating its fragrant aroma.
“Did someone send Mom roses?” Seraphina recalled the bouquet of roses Shirley had received on her birthday. She wondered. Could these two bouquets be from the same person? It seems Mom has a passionate admirer.
“Dad passed away a few years ago. She should find a companion for herself. After all–she is still so young and beautiful, and she deserves to be cherished. I hope that person has good character
Seraphina ate something before taking a nap. After waking up, she took out the script and lay on the sofa to study it Although there were only two scenes, she wanted to take it seriously.
As she was reading, a sudden knock at the door broke her concentration. Seraphina placed the script on the coffee table and got up to open the door. “Who is it?” she asked, but no one answered.
Thinking about how the residents in the building were old neighbors, Seraphina opened the door. When the person outside

came into view, Seraphina was completely stunned.
Π
The hallway was so worn, yet the person stood there dressed in high–end, vibrant attire, looking like a vividly painted color forcibly embedded in a sketch–so strikingly beautiful.
Standing outside the door was none other than Clarence,
