A slim girl, all dolled up, hopped out, surrounded by a flutter of colorful butterflies.
She excitedly leaped into Theoâs arms, snuggling into his embrace âTheo, Iâm back. Thanks for everything youâve prepared for me I love it, and Iâm really touched!â
Ellinor stood by the side, wearing a deadpan expression as she watched them That fleeting moment of nervousness and fluttering heart now seemed rather ridiculous.
Patricia was back.
Today, every tulip in Pearl Moon was there to welcome Patriciaâs return.
And Theo had wanted her here, probably to let her know his Patricia was back. He wanted her to be prepared and be careful with her words and actions to avoid causing any misunderstandings with Patricia. That must be it, right?
So, thatâs it. She got it now.
Sheâd almost misunderstood, thinking Theo was about to confess his feelings to her!
Theo had once told her he could give her anything except love.
His love belongs only to Patricia, just like the meaning of tulips â the greatest love, the only love, the endless love.
A butterfly fluttered past, circling around Ellinor It seemed to be reminding her: youâre not needed here, you should leave.
Belinda, not far away, furrowed her brows, stunned. What was going on?
What was Theo doing?
Why did Patricia choose to return today of all days?
And where was Ellinor?
www Belinda noticed Ellinor was gone. She quickly pulled out her phone to call Ellinor, only to be met with a robotic voicemail message: Sorry, the number youâre calling is switched off Ellinor had already left.
As night fell, the towering skyscrapers of the bustling The Bund in Greenhaven lit up.
On the LED display of the Century Bank skyscraper, the scrolling message read. âI love you, my girl.â
The big screen on the neighboring building was broadcasting âWelcome back, my moon princess!â
Expensive blue fireworks filled the sky, with countless drones performing in the air, forming the shape of an arrow piercing a heart.
Young couples strolling by the river, tourists snapping pictures, and random passersby all looked on in envy and curiosity, full of awe.
âOh my god, which CEO is confessing his love to his girlfriend?â
âHow sweet!
âI heard that a mysterious tycoon bought all the pink tulips in the world, had them airâshipped back home, and planted in Pearl Moon overnight. I suspect itâs all for todayâ
âPearl Moon? The confession on the skyscraperâs LED display also mentionsâ Moon princess. Could they be referring to Patricia of Pearl Moon?â
âWhoâs Patricia?â
âYou donât know Patricia? She comes from an extremely illustrious family background! Her grandfather is a worldârenowned scientist, her grandmother is a princess of a foreign royal family, her father is a world champion, her mother is a multiâawardâwinning actress, her brother is a CEO who consistently ranks among the top three on the worldâs rich list, and her younger brother is the most popular person in school. She was born with everything!â
âAnd sheâs incredibly beautiful too.â
âIâm not surprised someone would go to such lengths for her. After all, sheâs always had everything she could ever want, so it must be really hard to impress herl Ellinor sat on a bench along the Trent River, sipping on a Coke while looking up at the skyâs drone show and blue fireworks.
A small smile played on her lips. Theo sure did go all out for the one he likes.
