Chapter 313 Grant actually..." 3 Ellie's words were cut off by Aaron's firm interruption. His tone was resolute, and his expression was serious. "No matter what she's thinking, it's not possible! People from different backgrounds, being together, will only bring conflict, not happiness." Aaron added, "Besides, she's Mr. Grant's beloved daughter, and won't make him worry." Ellie had already anticipated this, so she wasn't surprised. She said, “The girl you met earlier seemed pretty good." Aaron responded, “She looks good, but that's all it is. Men likecan't give anyone happiness. It's better to focus on working hard and making money." People who lived a steady life had inner peace. As long as they saw progress every day, no matter how small, it drove them forward.

To secure that steady life, Joanna had given all of her husband's death compensation to the Warren family, bringing Ellie out of there. Ellie also forced herself to let go of the past, to release the bitterness and resentment and left the Warren family.

Tpassed quickly, and March arrived. The weather warmed, and everything began to thrive. Ellie walked along the path, watching the trees on both sides of the road sprout fresh green leaves. However, one of them stood still, showing no signs of life.

Thinking of Harold, Ellie cried again. Life was so fragile and as short as a cicada's life. People saw cicadas every summer, but for each cicada, one summer was their entire life.

She knew this fact, but she had never truly understood the tragedy of a cicada's life. Now, she could empathize with the cicada's mournful cry, but she would never again see Harold standing at the village entrance, waving goodbye to her. "Dr. Stewart?" At the entrance of the community, Ellie was surprised to see Leonard holding a bouquet of roses.

On the sidewalk in front of the apartment, Leonard handed the roses to Ellie.

"Leonard, I've made myself clear. We're better off as friends,” Ellie hesitated but didn't accept the flowers. Once upon a time, she thought she was only worthy of fake flowers. Now, someone was giving her such bright red roses. Seeing Ellie's reaction, Leonard wasn't discouraged. Standing in front of her with the bouquet in hand, he spoke with a sincerity she had never heard from him before, "When you said you couldn't have children, I was shocked.

"After going home, I thought about it for a long time, and I still can't give up." Ellie looked at him and said, "Leonard, no man will accept a woman who can't have children. Even if you could accept it, I can't! I don't want to take a risk on a relationship that might end soon." "How would you know if it ends soon if you don't try?" Leonard's voice softened but remained determined. "If I can't accept everything about you, how dare I stand in front of you and say I love you?" Ellie shook her head. “Leonard, you've always been such a mature person. Love might be personal stuff, but marriage is far more than that. Even if you can accept it, what about your family?" Leonard insisted, "Ellie, I've already made my stance clear with my family. We're choosing to be child-free, and I won't let

"I don't know how long you liked that person or how deep that love went," Leonard said, his voice choking with emotion, "but I've loved you for many years."
