WantNovelChapter 677
The butler quietly closed the door to the master bedroom. Standing alone in the empty hallway, he let out a
long, helpless sigh.
If only people knew regret always comes too late.
Sarah never thought that the mountain of tasks waiting for her would nearly break her down.
After finally clearing out most of them, she couldn't wait to escape the stuffy indoors.
Breathing in the fresh air outside, a faint smile appeared on her lips. Under the warm sunlight, she looked so
beautiful, like she had stepped straight out of a painting.
Not far away, sitting in his Bentley, James couldn't take his eyes off her. He sat there staring, greedy for every
second of this moment, unwilling to look away.
"It's still early... maybe | should go to the supermarket and buy a few things."
After living in the village for so long, where there was basically nothing, Sarah figured it was tto treat herself
a little.
Life had to have both bitter and sweet moments. If the road ahead was full of thorns, then she'd carve out her
own path of light.
There weren't many people in the supermarket today. Sarah wasn't planning on buying a lot either. After picking
out svegetables, she headed straight to the snacks aisle.
But for sreason, the chips- normally placed on the lower shelves - had been moved to the very top. Even
when she stood on tiptoe, she still couldn't reach them.
She stood there staring at them for a while, debating whether or not to go ask a staff member for help.
Just as she was about to give up, a hand suddenly reached over her shoulder and easily grabbed down the whole
row of chips.

Surprised, Sarah quickly turned around and reflexively said, "Thank you."
But the moment she looked up and saw who it was, the smile on her face completely froze.
Of all people... she never expected to run into him here.
Holding the box of sausage sticks, James looked at her with greedy, unhidden longing. “Sarah... it's been a long
time. How have you been?"
Sarah's brows knit together slightly. She instinctively took a small step back to put sdistance between them.
Her voice was polite but distant. "Mr. Chancer, what a coincidence. I've been doing well, thank you for asking."
Hearing her address him so formally, James's thin lips pressed into a tight line. He felt an uncomfortable squeeze
in his heart.
"Do you really have to treatlike a stranger?" he asked quietly.
Sarah gave him a puzzled look.
"Mr. Chancer, | don't see how, after everything between us, we could still act like we're close."
With that, she didn't even bother taking the snacks anymore. She turned, ready to leave.
Seeing her about to walk away, James panicked. He quickly reached out and grabbed her arm.
"Wait."
Sarah stopped in her tracks. When she turned back, her face was already frosted over with coldness.
"Let go."
Seeing the distance and coldness in her eyes, James's face showed a rare hint of helplessness. But in the end, he
still slowly released her.
"...I'm sorry."
Hearing him apologize, Sarah froze for a brief second. She sighed quietly.
"What exactly do you want?"
James looked at her with rare sincerity.

As he spoke, his heart was pounding wildly. It was so loud it drowned out everything else around him.

Sarah stared at him for a moment, her voice calm but firm.

She thought about all the pain she'd endured before. She wasn't someone who held onto hate, but she wasn't
generous enough to pretend nothing had happened either.
James's expression grew even more serious.
"Sarah, even if you won't forgive me... can we at least be friends? | know you're having a hard tright now. |
know Zachary's engagement to Vivian must've hit you hard."
"Enough!" Sarah cut him off coldly. "Mr. Chancer, before you say things like that, maybe you should think about
your own wife first."
