Chapter 3953
The car drove away.
Raphael stood for a long time.
He took out his phone, opening a photo of Olivia.
It was the first picture of her he had taken in university.
Even when they had parted ways, he still couldn’t bring himself to delete it.
Edwin’s words from earlier echoed inside his head.
Dylan was still alive.
Raphael thought that such knowledge would fill him with envy.
But instead…
There was no mistaking the joy in his heart.

He turned around and walked back, thinking about the discovery.
Perhaps it was for the best that he and Olivia didn’t get back together when they thought Dylan was dead.
If they had rekindled their old connection, they would be stuck in a _ half-hearted relationship.
He imagined himself and Olivia together.
If it had turned into reality, his love for her could no longer be pure.
It would be tainted with doubt and resentment.
Raphael would be reminded at every turn that she had another man in her life- every meal, every conversation, and even every time they had sex, Dylan’s shadow would be looming over them.
But it turned out that Dylan was still alive.
The fact filled Raphael with complicated feelings.
At the end of it, he couldn’t help but feel that Edwin was right.
He and Olivia were not meant to be together.
Perhaps this was really where their story came to a close.
A woman appeared in front of him.
Raphael and Sharon looked at each other with calm gazes.
“You’re that little girl’s father, aren’t you?” she asked in a low voice.
Raphael said nothing.
The next moment, Sharon burst into laughter.
“You’re still protecting her even now? Don’t worry.
I’m not going to do anything to her.
I know my place.
She is the daughter of a rich family, and now she’s even in charge of Dylan’s company.
I would be no match for her.
Still, it’s kind of a surprise that you didn’t get back with her after Dylan had been gone for so long.
”
With that, Sharon turned around and left.
She had completely moved on.
She wasn’t even the least bit depressed now.
Things were going well for her since she had gotten her fair share of compensation.
Sharon had money, and she had been enjoying herself traveling from place to place.
She had even met someone and was ready to settle down.
Time passed, but Dylan did not come back.
Spring had almost ended.
At the cusp of summer, there was still no trace of him.
As the season continued to flow forward, so did the anxiousness in Olivia’s heart.
Not a day had passed when she didn’t miss him.
But more than that, she was worried about his health and his Living conditions.
Her family also tried looking for him in secret, but he managed to evade the investigators.
At the beginning of June, an envelope arrived, with a key and an address inside of it.
She was familiar with the place.
It was a villa in a good location.
