Chapter 257 Parting for a Reunion

Peyton thought for a moment. “I want to see my best friend. No need to say goodbye. Just a quick glance from afar.”

Kadence has been completely occupied with work recently. She worked overtime every day. Presumably, she had already seen that news. During this period, she must have gone crazy looking for Peyton.

Peyton didn’t have the courage to say goodbye to her, and she was also afraid that Kadence’s surroundings had long been filled with spies.

She had come this far with great difficulty. Peyton didn’t want anyone to disrupt her plans.

“Okay, I helped you.”

Kevin always complied with her requests.

At noon that day, Peyton met Kadence.

She wore the work uniform that she had previously complained about with Peyton, looking like a drained doll. She walked into the coffee shop with no energy.

After ordering the meal, Kadence slumped on the table. Occasionally, her phone vibrated. She quickly took out her phone and opened it. Subsequently, a disappointed expression appeared on her face.

Lost and soulless, she didn’t even have a trace of soul when it came to eating. Kadence kept stuffing food into her mouth, as if it only mattered to fill her stomach and what she ate didn’t matter at all.

She didn’t even feel a bit when she ate her least favorite celery.

Kadence took a few bites and then put down her fork, picking up her phone. Peyton walked around behind Kadence and saw on the phone screen a photo of her and Kadence from their student days.

Those photos were regarded by her as a dark history. They also said they would play these photos on a loop at their wedding venue.

Unfortunately, in the end, Peyton did not have a wedding and was not able to marry the person she loved in high school and become a full- time housewife as she had dreamed of.

Tears fell one by one onto the screen

Peyton heard her voice, hoarse and tearful. “Peyton…”

Peyton’s tears couldn’t stop flowing.

Kadence rubbed her eyes haphazardly, paid the bill, and left absentmindedly with her bag.

She used to be very perceptive. If it was in the past, how could she not have noticed Peyton’s presence?

But she was completely absorbed in the news of Peyton’s disappearance.

She had been getting through these days like this.

At first, she neither ate nor drank. Gradually, she accepted reality, resembling a walking dead.

Their relationship was clearly just friendship. But their friendship was more precious than family.

Peyton looked up. The weather outside had already changed. She

bought an umbrella from the store and chased after it.

Kadence walked alone in the pouring rain, wearing high heels, and was bumped into by the hurried crowd.

Once upon a time, Kadence smiled and said she would definitely trip the person who deceived her. Kadence slumped on the ground. Her eyes stared blankly ahead with no focus.

There were traces of water flowing down the face. It was difficult to distinguish whether it was tears or rainwater.

Maybe only in this way could she cry her heart out.

“Peyton, my Peyton. Didn’t we agree to walk together till the end? Why did you leave me?”

Kadence slapped herself in the face. “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have gone on a business trip. I should have been with you, Peyton. How scared you must have been back then!”

The rain was sheltered by the umbrella above their head. Kadence seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up towards the approaching person.

“Peyton…”

The person holding the umbrella was an elderly woman with white hair. She kindly helped Kadence up and said, “Miss, the ground is cold. Get up quickly. You’re still so young. There’s nothing in life that can’t be overcome. Don’t cry.”

“Madam, I lost my best friend. I can’t find her,” Kadence stubbornly spoke, resembling a child who had lost their toy. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

The old lady placed the umbrella in her palm and said with great emphasis, “There is no feast that never ends. It’s not a bad thing to

leave. Today’s parting is for a better reunion in the future.”

Kadence seemed to be awakened. In that moment, as she looked up, she seemed to see a tearful Peyton in the crowd.
