Adam Willow stood in front of Emily Parker, after countless struggles and hesitations in his heart, he finally mustered the courage and spoke those words.
As soon as he spoke, Adam felt like he had put down a giant stone in his heart, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his eyes were full of anticipation, staring intently at Emily.

She had known Adam for more than ten years, from their youthful school days to stepping into society, he had once been the most important person in her life.
Their youthful years spent together, the promises they made, seemed to still echo in her ears.

However, times have changed, at this moment, Emily’s heart was calm, like an undisturbed lake.
