The Dead Fiancé's Return: Too Late, She's His Uncle's Wife Now novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62

The person approaching had a graceful figure, exquisite makeup, and a dazzling charm.

“Calix.” Cathy softly called his name, her eyes filled with affection.

Calix looked at her for a moment, responding with a faint acknowledgment.

“Are you leaving?” Cathy asked, craning her neck to look inside.

“It’s rare that everyone is here. Stay a little longer,” she suggested.

Calix showed little interest. “No, you guys enjoy yourselves.”

A visible disappointment appeared on Cathy’s face, and her fingers curled up silently.

Behind her, Robert’s dissatisfied voice came: “Calix, come on. Our Princess Cathy rarely has time; don’t spoil her mood.”

In Robert’s heart, Cathy was a princess.

“Yeah, I’ve been rushing to finish several jobs recently. I’m almost exhausted,” Cathy chimed in, her voice sounding pitiful.

She didn’t forget to use her delicate fingers to massage her shoulders, looking genuinely fatigued.

In the past, Calix would have cared for her and put her first, even if it meant setting aside important

matters.

However, this time, he showed no reaction at all.

He still maintained that indifferent expression.

A look of puzzlement appeared in Cathy’s eyes.

He had previously expressed publicly that he would protect her for a lifetime. During these days, she had expected him to contact her proactively, just like before, acting as her guardian and taking care

of her.

However, he had disappeared without a trace, not even calling her once!

Cathy had initially felt relieved when she learned that he had divorced Anya, thinking that her spring had finally arrived. But at this moment, she felt inexplicably anxious.

He didn’t respond to Cathy, nor did he turn around and go back. He simply continued walking

forward.

Cathy’s heart sank to the bottom, and tears almost burst out.

She hurried a few steps and caught up with Calix in the corridor.

“Calix! I miss you!”

She ran up and hugged Calix tightly from behind, resting her head on his back.

Calix stopped in his tracks.

His back tensed.

But he didn’t turn around.

Cathy hugged him even tighter. “Calix, in these four years apart, I’ve thought of you every single day. Let’s… start over, okay?”

Calix learned about the gala from Robert, who also said in the message, “Some things won’t come to fruition if you don’t reveal them.”

Cathy was a person with high self–esteem, especially since Calix had pampered her like a jewel since she was in her teens, and she had Robert as a henchman at her service.

Her sense of superiority was extremely strong, to the point of looking down on others.

Even after seeing Robert’s reminder, she still had no intention of proactively lifting the veil.

But Calix’s indifferent attitude just now frightened her.

Only then did she realize that if she didn’t take the initiative, even with Calix’s divorce, she might still lose him.

Tears welled up in Cathy’s eyes as she stood behind Calix and said, “Even if you’re angry, punishing

me by being away for four years is enough.”

Outwardly, she appeared bright and charming a graceful goddess.

But now, facing Calix, she looked pitiful and softly cried.

It was the kind of sob that could tug at anyone’s heartstrings.

Calix gently pulled her hand away and faced her.

Cathy’s eyes brightened, thinking that he would hug her.

However, he only lightly placed his hand on her shoulder.

“If you have time, accompany me somewhere tomorrow,” he said.

Cathy looked at him, and her heart seemed to stop for a moment.

He didn’t immediately accept her confession!

She had already put away her pride, even sacrificing her face, and taken the initiative to make up

with him.

Cathy remembered too well the affection and indulgence Calix had once shown her. She had thought that when she reached this point, he would be excited and happy, immediately agreeing.

The huge gap between her expectations and reality left her stunned for a while, and the tears that had welled up in her eyes could no longer fall.

She just stared at him in a daze.

Calix didn’t force her, and she was about to leave.

Cathy became anxious and quickly grabbed his arm. “If you have time, wherever you want to go, I’ll

accompany you!”

At least he didn’t reject her, right?

No rejection meant there was still hope.

Over the years, Cathy has experienced a lot and finally understood that in this world, there was no

man like Calix, who was not only outstanding but loved her to the core.

Anya’s perspective

Today, I went to the river pond with Karina for a live stream.

This river pond was located to the northeast of Ceres Village and had been idle because the owner had gone out for work. Worried that the pond might become desolate, the owner asked Arthur to

take care of it.

Arthur had raised some fish and planted lotus flowers in the pond.

At this time, it was the season when the lotus flowers were in full bloom.

The lotus flowers that Arthur planted were not as diverse as those found in professional gardens outside; they were all white in color. However, each blossom was exceptionally large, held up by thick stems, and the entire pond was filled with a snowy white scene.

The lotus flowers exuded the temperament of rising from the mud yet remaining unstained, a sight that captivated everyone’s attention.

I stood elegantly in the boat, wearing a long dress. Dad was responsible for rowing the boat, and Karina was busy creating a lively atmosphere.

As the boat sailed along, the wind blew gently, making the corners of my skirt flutter gracefully. I casually played with the white lotus beside me using my slender fingers, and my hair floated in mid–air. At that moment, I felt as if I were a fairy strolling in the clouds.

Looking at the live stream room, I could see all kinds of exclamations and screams from the fans. They were praising my ethereal aura, Karina’s cuteness, and Dad’s calm temperament.

Thinking back to the local folk songs that Dad used to sing to me when I was a child, my heart was stirred, and I couldn’t help but start singing.

My voice came out particularly crisp and sweet, just like that of a nightingale. I also cleverly added some local flavor to the song. In an instant, the entire live stream room seemed to boil over, as if it was going to explode!
