There was a flash of teasing in Fredric’s expression.
“I can—”
Before he finished, Trinity patted her chest boyishly. “It’s fine, it’s fine. I can handle it myself! You… You can go
back. No worries!”
She went back to the neon and noises right after that. When she turned around, she looked a little miserable.
She wondered if it was her delusion, but she seemed to see a hint of concern in that man’s eyes… The sentence
that he did not finish—did he want to be her bodyguard and send her home?
That was impossible.
Trinity shook her head and commanded herself to stay level-headed. It had taken her so much time and effort to
remove him from her heart. She could not put him back in there now.

Trinity chuckled bitterly and went on to drink and sing with Millie and the others.
Peals of laughter and giggles kept coming from the bar. The female celebrities were good at singing and dancing,
turning the place into a large-scale variety show set. It was just that no matter how large a variety show was, it
would be impossible to invite so many bigshots simultaneously.
Fredric chuckled. Trinity was influential, and the reason for that strength was her unique charm. It was undeniable
that some people were born with light.
Fredric found himself an empty seat and sat down.
Two bartenders whispered to each other for a while and most likely recognized him to be the lawyer who
contributed a lot to the Hamertons, so they served him a Long Island.
“Apologies, Mr. Constable.” The handsome man was apologetic. “The place’s booked tonight, so this is all we have.”
Fredric smiled and accepted it, taking a sip.
“Are you invited by Ms. Lulham too?”
“Oh, no,” Fredric answered softly. “I’m waiting for her here. Would it be a bother to you?”
“Of course not. Just make sure you don’t take any photos!”
Fredric nodded and looked at Trinity amongst the crowd. His vision blurred a little, and his thoughts brought him
back to the school days when they were still in uniform.
Back then…
Trinity did not seem so boyish yet. She was not striking in class but was gentle and endearing with her pretty
features and long hair. Her white blouse was also clean and pressed, and her desk was the tidiest in class.
Basically, she was the model student—quiet, obedient, and with good grades. Her parents must have saved the
universe in their last life.

Fredric chuckled and downed the Long Island.
He did not have many interactions with Trinity in school, and he thought that he had forgotten all about it, but the
past surfaced so clearly to him right now.
He remembered that there was once he rebelled strongly against studying and went over the wall to loiter outside
with Josiah every day, only to be caught once by the discipline teacher.
The discipline teacher had scolded and punished them strictly, making them copy the school rules a hundred times.
Josiah had actually gone to the discipline room to do that, while Fredric went back to the room gloomily and slept
the whole afternoon. When he woke up, he found a stack of paper at the door—copied school rules.
The tidy handwriting was just like its owner…
A song played suddenly, an old song about a secret love. The lyrics were moving, and the singer’s rendition was
crushing.
Fredric’s reminiscence came to a stop. He asked for another glass from the bartender and downed it. His gaze had
been after Michelle in the past that he had forgotten to turn back and look at the person standing behind him
quietly.
