We sat in the quiet of the countryside, enjoying the calmness of the moment.

"Carter, once we find out who's behind all this, let's find a place in the mountains. We can go there for weekends

and holidays; what do you think? "Sure."

"Then | can focus on trying to get pregnant. How many kids do you want? Do you prefer boys or girls?"

Carter was silent for a moment. "Either is fine."

| assumed he was just undecided about the gender, so | continued, playing with his fingers. "Honestly, it doesn't

matter to me-boy or girl. The most important thing is raising them well, so they don't go down the wrong path."

“Alright."",

"If it's a boy, | hope he's like you. You have such good genes; he'll definitely be handsome. If it's a girl, | want her

to be like me, and I'll spoil her like a princess.

Just imagining that madefeel so happy.

"Carter, you're wonderful to me. With kids, you'll definitely spoil them, right?"

| wasn't sure if it was my imagination, but | felt like he was being unusually quiet about this.

"Carter?"

| turned to look at him seriously, only to find he was staring at the fireflies, lost in thought.

He didn't often space out like this. Noticing my gaze, he turned to look at me.

"Sorry, Chloe, what did you say just now?"

| reached out and gently brushed his nose. "What are you thinking about?*

He pulledclose and said, "Besides thinking about you, who else could | be thinking about? It's getting late,

and we've had a busy day. Let's get srest." "Alright." | reached up. "Hug me."

He leaned down, scoopinginto his arms, lettingwrap my arms around his neck as we slowly made our

way back the way we came.

| rested my head against his chest and said, "Carter, just keep holdinglike this forever. When we're old, we'll

still walk along the beach hand in hand, leaning on our canes." "Okay."

"Then you'll stay withto watch the sunrise and sunset in different places."

"Okay."

"When we're older, letbe the first to go."

His gaze flickered with a malicious shadow. "Nonsense)

"When we're old, letgo first. I've already experienced death once: Besides, if you were to go first, I'd be left

all alone in this world. How lonely would that be?"

His voice cfrom the wind, soft yet firm. "You wont be alone. You'll have friends, family, and children. Even

when I'm gone, they'll still be there for you."

"No, family and friends can't compare to you. Promise me, don't die before I do."

He laughed softly, almost helplessly. "Silly girl, you're only 20. Why are you talking about death? You'll live a

long, healthy life. Besides, how can | control death? Life is governed by fate."

| knew he was speaking the truth. Even the most powerful people in the world can't control birth, aging, illness,

and death.

There was a emperor who sought immortality and a way to defy fate.

A great man like him had failed at the quest. How could an ordinary person likecontrol it?

Internally, | selfishly hoped our ttogether would last forever.

That we'd live long lives, surrounded by children and grandchildren, growing old together.

Nicholas and Bill had already gone home. | turned to my mom and said, "Mom, Janice can't sleep alone tonight.

Could she sleep with you?"

Zoey obviously wanted to sleep with her mom. She looked carefully at her mom's stomach and asked, "Will it be

uncomfortable for you with the pregnancy? Im worried | might move around too much at night." "It's fine. Having

someone with you at night will be safer."

Zoey looked at me, grateful.

Philippa also thankedfor accommodating them.

What could be more fortunate than finding something you thought you had lost?

Finally, Carter and | had the stargazing room to ourselves.

The entire room was made of tempered glass, offering good view. Lying on the round bed, we could see the stars

scattered across the sky above us.

As if we were in the wilderness with our backs against the earth.

| snuggled into Carter's arms. That night, we didn't do anything but hold each other tightly. His soothing voice

whispered fairy tales in my ear, and it was simply beautiful.

Of course, it would have been even better if it weren't for that annoying phone call.

Just as | was about to drift off to sleep, Carter's phone buzzed again and again.

"Who's that?"

"Did | wake you?" He glanced at the phone,

"Just answer it. It's annoying for them to keep calling!

He picked up the call. Harlan's furious voice blasted through the phone, "Where did you take Janice?

Carter moved the phone away from his ear. "What? Didn't she tell you?"

There was a snort from the other end as he whined, "She's grown bold now, thinks she can run away from home

and ignore my calls. I'll admit it, if she's playing hard to get, she's already 50 percent successful."

Even Carter couldn't help but complain about his friend. "With your attitude, you'll never find a wife. It's

midnight, and you're still complaining? You don't have any sex life, but sorry, | do "Hey, C...

Carter hung up immediately, then turned

This phone

| burst into a giggle and asked, "Aren't you worried he'll be worried?"

"Well, it's notwho's panicking."

You're so devious,"

Carter tried to explain, "Chloe, | just-

| knew he didn't want to leave a bad impression onquickly stopped him with a kiss. "I like you being sly with

others but gentle with me."

He leaned over, his voice low and tempting. "Chloe, when you put it that way, you shouldn't expect any sleep

tonight."

What an easily seduced man. Life's short; after all, we need to live every day to its fullest.

| wrapped my arms around his neck and said, "Fine, | won't sleep. I'll make love to you."
