As time swiftly passed, four years have slipped away.
A news came that Asher and Sage are getting married.
Despite my efforts to avoid hearing about them, our interconnected social circles made it inevitable.
The heavy burden I've carried in my heart finally dropped, as if all uncertainties settled like dust.
Without my intended interference, they still found their way to each other, although it took a bit longer.
Now, I can return home with a light heart.
Upon exiting the airport, I was immediately greeted by a man dressed casually.
"Lark, welcome back home," he said with a warm smile, presenting me with a bouquet of flowers.
It took me a few moments to recognize him as Evan, the arranged match my parents had introduced to me.
While it was an arranged match, mutual affection was essential.
Hence, my parents had shared his contact with me earlier, and we had been in conversation for some time.
Evan, a gentlemanly and mild-mannered man with a handsome appearance, indeed seemed a suitable match.
I smiled and took the flowers: "Thank you, I really like them."
"I'm glad you do." he replied with a smile, taking my luggage.
Following him to the corner, intending to take the elevator to the parking area, I turned around and found myself face-to-face with Asher.
I froze instantly, as if my blood had turned to ice.
Asher now seemed both familiar and foreign to me.
His stern expression, deeply set features, tall and lean stature, and more potent aura made him appear both known and strange.
His look, devoid of any affection or warmth, felt as cold as ice.
He walked towards me, each step pressing down on my silent heart.
I instinctively stepped back due to his overwhelming presence, until a clear, beautiful female voice suddenly cut through the tension.
"Ah Asher, I'm here, have you been waiting long?" Without a doubt, it was Sage.
