?Chapter 1138:


    The next day, Bobby and Fannie came by Katherine’s ce to pick up Sariah. The three of them sat down for a serious talk, and by the end, they were all hugging each other, tears streaming down their faces. Bobby promised not to buy a house near Sariah’s college, and Sariah promised to keep Bobby updated on where she was and make sure she didn’t do anything that would worry him again.


    Another day went by, and Bobby and Fannie headed to college with Sariah to drop her off. The young girl, with her ponytail, was full of energy and excitement for everything. Kalel saw a video Fannie posted, where a stranger had helped them take a family photo, and Sariah was smiling so brightly.


    True to his word, Bobby said goodbye to Sariah at college and then took Fannie back to Illerith.


    On their way back, worry, longing, and loneliness kept hitting Fannie and Bobby over and over, but they kept reminding themselves that they had to do this.


    What they didn’t know was that Sariah cried quietly on her first night in the dorm.


    It was the first time she’d been away from home, and she knew Bobby and Fannie wouldn’t be there to take care of her anymore. As an adult now, for better or worse, she had to handle everything on her own. Even though she was nervous and scared, she knew this was a step she had to take.


    One day in October, Sariah stepped out of the busy teaching building, books in hand, chatting with her roommate. Suddenly, the people ahead of them came to a stop, crowding around a sleek blue Bugatti.


    It looked oddly familiar. Sariah remembered that Kalel had bought a car some time ago, and it seemed to be this exact model with the same color.


    Feeling curious, she walked around to check the license te. And just like that, she froze.


    Had hepletely lost his mind? Kalel actually drove all the way from Illerith just to see her?


    Both car doors swung open at the same time. Kalel stepped out from the driver’s seat, and a tall, stunning woman in sunsses got out from the passenger side.

    Sariah didn’t even bother asking who she was.


    “It’s been a while, huh?” Kalel smirked as he slid off his sunsses, wrapping an arm around the gorgeous woman’s waist. His signature confidence and charm were on full disy.


    Students nearby were still gawking, making Sariah want to disappear.


    “Did you really have to show up like this? This is so embarrassing!”


    The woman chuckled and nced at Kalel. “Told you,” she said, nudging him. “You’re totally embarrassing her right now.”


    Kalel was struck by the contrast between himself and Sariah.


    Back when he was in school, if someone hade to pick him up in a Bugatti, he would have bragged about it for the entire year.


    “She’s being ungrateful,” he muttered under his breath.


    “I am not!” Sariah retorted quickly.


    As tensions rose, the woman with Kalel interjected, “Let’s calm down, both of you.”
