Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 315

Outside the window, across the field, a few figures suddenly appeared in the distance.

They were too far away for him to make out who they were or what they were doing.

Yet, somehow, those three tiny shapes held an inexplicable pull, drawing his gaze and refusing to let go.

Emilia and Bella walked together across the grass, Theodore at their side.

Theodore wandered off for a moment, rummaging through the shadows before producing a small canvas bag from seemingly nowhere.

Emilia held Bella’s hand, watching him with open curiosity.

“Good thing I hid these here. They weren’t thrown out.” Theodore grinned as he pulled out a few tin canisters.
