Someone in the crowd suddenly recognized the man at the piano and gasped. “It’s Jasper!”

“Wow, I thought he wasn’t coming! Haven’t seen him all night.”

“Didn’t you notice that the whole setup has changed?”

“There are so many flowers! Is he confessing to someone?”

“Is it her?”

“No way. Her boyfriend’s Sterling! Jasper can’t be that dumb, right?”

“But he used to like Claudia back in school. Everyone knew.”

“Stop spreading rumors. He is already engaged to Lydia.”

Suddenly, everyone was talking.

A group of people was looking at the man playing the piano with curiosity in their eyes.

But then someone noticed something strange…

“Wait, where’s the other person?”

The crowd exchanged looks, looking puzzled.

At that moment, Claudia had just stepped out from a quiet corner, finishing a phone call with Sterling. Before she could take two steps, a familiar classmate blocked her way.

A single red rose was handed to her.

“He said, he never forgot the promise he made when you were 18.”

Then another person approached with another rose.

“At 20, he went to the library for your appointment. But when he got there, you were already gone.”

A third one came forward.

“If he could go back, he would wish that he’d never gone out to sea that day.”

“His love for you didn’t start the day he confessed. It started way earlier, in every second of the time you spent growing up together.”

Claudia looked at them with a cold face, not taking a single rose.

Awkward smiles spread across their faces as they placed the roses at her feet instead.

This wasn’t what Jasper had told them would happen at all.

With every explanation and confession, Claudia didn’t feel any romance. She just felt sick and disgusted.

He clearly remembered every time he had hurt her. He wasn’t slow to understand. He just put his own reputation and his own guilt before her.

In a way, he wasn’t any different from the Lancasters.

So what if he had a reason? That only proved that, when it came to his problems or her, he always chose his problems first.

He would never understand that after she finally left the Lancasters, Jasper and Whitney were the only two people she trusted. But it was Jasper who slowly betrayed her by getting close to Lydia, the person who had caused her the most pain.

That hurt even more than what the Lancasters, who were always on Lydia’s side, had done.

For a while, she had doubted herself. Maybe she’d been wrong?

Maybe she’d misunderstood Lydia? Maybe she was just too harsh, too absolute?

But later, she realized that it wasn’t her fault. Her pain simply weighed less than their mind.

Because she had once been loved, she could recognize when that love had shifted

away.

Whatever the reason, once it stopped being pure, she wanted no part of it.

Disappointment had piled up inside her day after day, until, like with the Lancasters, she finally reached her limit and let go.

Now, Jasper wanted her to relive their past? He had no idea that there was nothing in that past worth returning to.

Even without Sterling, she still wouldn’t go back.

A surge of disgust rose in her chest. She stepped right over the flowers and tightened her jaw, ready to tell someone to throw Jasper out.

But just as she was about to speak, a calm and faintly amused voice cut through the noise,
