Trinity paused, and the cutlery in her hands fell to the plate with a clang.
Would she be so anxious? She had not thought of it.
She only knew that she had been restless these days, losing sleep and appetite without even changing her clothes.
She had never cried so much in her entire life.
All she did was clutch the lucky charm in her hand. That was what Fredric had given her, and it felt as if his warmth
was still on it.
He had told her that he hoped the lucky charm would bring her luck when he gave it to her, but now, she would
rather use all her luck in exchange for his safety.
Trinity’s thoughts were everywhere. She opened her mouth but could not utter a single word.
“I…”
“Okay, I know!” Neil’s grin was wide. “You’ll definitely be anxious. Who’s going to be your male lead if I go missing?”
After a long time, Trinity hung her head and said, “Sorry.”
Neil paused before he continued cutting the steak with a smile.
“I’m not a petty person. No need to apologize to me. Besides, there’s nothing between us. Why are you suddenly
saying that to me?”
Trinity looked at him gratefully. She came clean since they were already so honest.
“I admit that I can’t forget him.” She gripped the lucky charm tighter. “These days, every time I close my eyes, all I
see are the days we were in school.”
“Mm…” Neil smiled. “All your inescapable rumination!”
Trinity smiled as well.
“Then can you tell me what’s so good about him?”
Trinity was unable to answer this.
Feelings were just odd. Girls who were devoted like her would stay loyal their entire lives once they were set on

If there had to be a reason, it would most probably be because she liked the scent of the sun on his white shirt, his
smile each time he walked past her in school, his vigor in debate competitions, his patience when he explained
topics to her—which was also when they were the closest to each other.
A drip and a drop, there was no particular shape. However, these moments here and there gathered into Fredric
and stayed in Trinity’s heart.
“You’ve never blamed him even when he sided with Michelle that much?” Neil pursed his lips.
Trinity replied softly, “He… recognized her for who she is in the end.”
Neil smiled weakly. “And this is the reason you can’t get over him?”
Trinity bit her lips and stayed silent.
“Never mind, I get it.” Neil waved a hand. “You don’t have to feel sorry for me either. Millie’s right about feelings.
When the space in one’s heart isn’t cleared, whoever’s moving in won’t be comfortable. Even if you want to pursue
me now, I won’t give you a chance!”
Trinity was amused and took a bite of the steak.
“But don’t worry.” Neil looked at her seriously. “I’ll do what I promised you.
“I brought people over from Southeast Aciatic, and they’re more useful than the police here. We’ll find him!”
…
This was Neil’s third day in Melorian.
It was not good for a popular artist to suddenly vanish from the public’s eyes, especially when it was a superstar like
Neil.
His manager was going crazy and kept calling him to urge him to take photos and update his social media.
Meanwhile, Neil’s men had been looking for a needle in a haystack for three days and were feeling defeated for not
finding any clue.
“Mr. Harris, are you sure this person is in Melorian?”
They did not ask if he was sure the person was alive because they could find the body even if he was dead. It was
truly unexpected that they could not find him, dead or alive.
This was different from what Neil had promised Cordelia before he came to Melorian. Judging by the current
situation, Cordelia would treat him like a joke!
His men quickly backed off with a lowered head.
Neil stubbed his cigarette and walked out of the hotel.
“Mr. Harris…”
“Stop following me!” Neil glared at them. “Go look for him if you have the time!”
“Then where are you going, Mr. Harris?”
“Why do you care!?”
Neil put on his sunglasses and left in large strides.
Fortunately, they were in Chaiseland, and no one could recognize him. Thus, he could go out freely.
He came to Rylands Square. He had heard that Zephyr frequently fed the birds there when he was younger.
Neil smiled and strolled to the center of the square. The temperature had risen a little these few days, and it was
sunny, so there were more tourists. The scenery around the square was beautiful, and the church was both
mysterious and authoritative. Each brick brimmed with the weight of history.
A group of nomads was dancing and singing on one side of the square, where tourists clapped and cheered.
Neil went over slowly and heard a girl’s sweet voice.
“Mister, do you want to buy a jacket? It’s very cheap!”
Neil paused. The pretty girl was smiling sweetly at him. She wore the same long dress the nomads wore and
braided her long chestnut hair with a scarf. She was currently showing him a jacket.
“It’s a new design, and the quality is great! It has a hole, which is why I’m selling it cheap. But don’t worry, sir, I’ve

“What do you think? Do you want it? The price is negotiable!”

Neil fell into a daze as he looked at her. Professionally, he thought the girl would stand out on the screen if she were
to debut in showbiz.
“Mister? Mister!”
Aurelia’s heart thumped.
The man was handsome, but why did he look kind of slow? Did he not understand what she said?
Looking at what he wore, though, the outfit was not cheap. Maybe he was just not interested in her secondhand
jacket.
Aurelia pouted and was going to look for her next target when her arm was yanked.
“You said that you’re selling this jacket?”
“Oh, you can speak Chaisene?” Aurelia grinned and continued to sell the garment. “Yes, I’m selling this jacket. But
it’s worn, and there’s a hole…”
“Here?” Neil pointed at where the patchwork was.
Aurelia nodded with a smile.
The spot was odd. If one put the jacket on, the hole seemed to be in the abdomen area. Which man would wear the
stomach area out wearing a suit jacket?
Neil glanced at the brand label and felt the fabric. There seemed to be some… blood on the dark-colored fabric?
He frowned and felt inexplicably strange.
“Hey, mister.” Aurelia looked at him carefully. “Are you buying it or not?”
“Where did this jacket come from?”
Aurelia felt her heart lurch.
Neil snickered. “Hah, you wouldn’t have… peeled it off some dead man, would you?”
