Adeline smiled brightly as James led Lily out of the recording studio.

Though usually quiet and reserved, she could never stop talking with Lily.

And with Lily, her usual coolness vanished. Her eyes glowed with warmth, admiration, and a fondness that spilled through every glance.

James noticed the look in Adeline’s eyes.

A pang of sourness struck his chest.

He knew Lily had few friends, and he was happy she had someone. But the gaze Adeline gave her–what kind of woman looked at another woman with such tender longing?

The more he thought about it, the heavier the ache in his heart grew. He longed to seize Lily and kiss her senseless. But he held back, afraid she’d accuse him of being jealous again, and with Ashton present, it wasn’t the time. So he only gripped her hand tightly as he helped her into the backseat.

Lily, oblivious to his jealous imaginings, waved warmly to Adeline in farewell.

Even after James’s car disappeared around the corner, Adeline stood rooted, eyes rimmed red, before finally turning and walking away alone.

Memories stirred, and tears shimmered in her eyes.

The truth was–her first meeting with Lily hadn’t been in the imperial city. It had been in the tiny village where she was born.

Back then, she wasn’t called Adeline. She was Jaime.

Lily had come to the countryside with her adoptive parents and brothers for charity work, and stumbled upon Jaime being sold off by her father, who valued only

sons.

She had thought Lily, like the other villagers, would turn a blind eye. After all, her entire life had been drilled into her as nothing more than a trade for gifts, her existence meant to serve her younger brother.

At ten years old, her father took six thousand yuan from a middle–aged bachelor in the village and sold her away.

For now, she would scrub floors, cook, and serve as a maid. Later, she would be forced into his bed, made to bear him children.

When Lily discovered this, her fury blazed.

With her three towering brothers at her side, she stormed into that man’s house and dragged Jaime out.

She told her that girls existed not to be sold, not to be shackled as tools for childbirth, but to live their own lives and chase their own dreams.

She had hung a handmade necklace around Jaime’s neck, promising that if she wanted to leave, she would help her

escape.

She encouraged her to study, to dream, to build her own future.

And when Jaime pleaded to go, Lily cut her ties with her family and brought her out of that village, even finding her a school.

By fortune, one of her teachers—a woman who had longed for a child and never conceived–took a liking to her and eventually adopted her.

That teacher’s husband happened to be a Zach as well, so she kept her surname but was given a new name: Adeline.

Her foster father explained the name came from a word

meaning the return of stars to their place, the ending of at year, the herald of new beginnings.

At ten years old, her life truly began.

On the road out of the village, Lily had sung opera to cheer her up. From then on, Adeline loved opera, because it was tied to the warmth of Lily’s voice.

Step by step, she had grown strong enough to stand beside her savior, to sing as her partner.

Looking at a great tree in the distance, Adeline pulled out a small wooden charm, the one Lily had given her all those years ago, and rubbed her thumb across the tiny carved words.

Peace, happiness, wishes fulfilled.

She and Lily–both of them would be safe, happy, and see their wishes come true.

Zoey had been eager for this meal together.

The moment she saw Lily, Zoey’s face bloomed with a tender smile as she hurried over to take her hand

warmly.

But when her eyes traced Lily’s still–slim frame, her smile faltered. She frowned, shooting James a scolding glare.

“James, didn’t I tell you to take good care of her? What on earth are you doing? Why is she still losing weight?”
