?Chapter 1141:


    Alert, Kalel asked, “What do you know about this guy?”


    “The bigger problem is that I never even had a chance to start my first love story!”


    “You should have seen iting.” Kalel then quickly added, “Can we trust this guy?”


    “I looked into him. He’s genuinely a good guy—well-educated, solid background, impressive character. I just can’tpete, so I backed off,” Percy replied, his voice tinged with disappointment.


    Kalel was more interested in details than offeringfort. “Give me his information.”


    The call was cut short. While waiting, Kalel scrolled through Sariah’s Instagram, only to find no recent posts.


    Surprised by the absence of updates, Kalel was momentarily confused until a text from Percy arrived.


    He asked Percy about essing Sariah’s Instagram.


    Percy checked and responded through sobs, “It’s official. She’s his girlfriend now!”


    Percy shared a photo of Sariah with the guy, but Kalel’s refresh attempts were hopeless—he still couldn’t see her posts.


    It dawned on him that Sariah had blocked him.


    Kalel contemted going to Sariah’s university to ask why she had blocked him on Instagram, but he thought better of it.


    Instead, he lit a cigarette, pondering over Sariah’s possible reasons. He spected that maybe his own controlling and persistent behavior had pushed her away.


    He experienced a swirl of emotions upon realizing that Sariah, once obsessed with celebrities, had matured and was now dating a guy who could be mistaken for one.


    It struck him that it might be time to move on. That Christmas, as Sariah returned to Illerith, Kalel boarded an international flight for a business engagement.


    Subsequently, Sariah resumed her studies, and Kalel learned about hertest updates through his parents.

    During her summer break, Sariah traveled overseas with friends to cool off.


    Just as Sariah began to feel the weight of their long separation, she realized that graduation from university was just around the corner. Her university years had been enriching yet hectic. After donning her cap and gown, job-hunting frustrations led her back to Illerith, back to her parents. There, she bumped into Kalel.


    He asked, “How did things end up with your college boyfriend?”


    Sariah paused, digging through memories. “That was so long ago! We dated briefly but soon went our separate ways.”


    By that time, Sariah no longer had to deal with Bobby and Fannieining about her staying out all night. She no longer felt anxious or concerned about being recognized while sitting in a bar.


    With wine sses in hand, Sariah and Kalel rxed at the bar, their conversation flowing effortlessly.


    “You seem to have been quite upied over the years, staying away from romantic rtionships, I hear.”
