Olivia managed a strained smile. Despite the years that had passed, seeing him with another still stirred discomfort within her-a reminder of the past relationship she had chosen to end.

At the wedding, Olivia's attention shifted completely when she learned of Jessie's pregnancy. She took great care of Jessie throughout the event. In appreciation, Albert gave her an expensive gift as a token of gratitude. Later, he teased, “You should start looking for a partner too, otherwise Melissa will have me set you up with someone."

Jessie cast a glance at Albert, who stood confidently. "Jessie can also find someone nice for you. She knows of many wonderful people," he suggested.

Olivia smiled, though the gesture didn't quite reach her eyes. "Thank you, Uncle Albert" she replied, playing along with the light-hearted banter.

Albert chuckled, recognizing her humor, and wasn't offended. He assisted Jessie into the car before turning to Olivia. “Did you drive here?"

"Yes. Don't worry about me. Just take care of Jessie," Olivia assured him.

As the black car pulled away into the night, Olivia was left alone with her thoughts, which soon wandered back to Raphael.

His unexpected presence at the wedding had caught her off guard.

It was clear he was doing well, which brought her a sense of closure and relief.

Perhaps it was time for her to seriously consider dating more actively, she mused.

Just as Olivia stretched, preparing to head to her own car, a black Bentley rolled up slowly and stopped in front of her. The window lowered to reveal a familiar stoic face.

Raphael, looking as impassive as ever, offered, "Need a ride?"

Olivia couldn't resist stealing a glance at the empty front passenger seat.

Raphael's offer to drive her home in the absence of his date made Olivia ponder. Was he hoping to reconnect with her, or perhaps he wanted to flaunt his newfound success, making her regret her earlier decision to let him go?

But did the truth hold any significance anymore?

Many years had indeed gone by, bringing about changes in both of them. Olivia was not the same person she once was, and Raphael had transformed as well.

Just as Olivia was about to refuse Raphael's offer, the back door of the lavish car swung open, and a sweet voice greeted her. "Olivia, what a surprise! I never imagined running into you here after all this time. I see you're the bridesmaid. Are you related to the bride or something? I heard the Green family has gone down in the world. It's admirable how you're still so supportive of Jessie. You haven't lost your innocence and kindness. Even if you hurt Raphael in the past, I believe you had your reasons."

Olivia's body tensed slightly.

She looked at the stunning woman seated in the back of the car. The woman happened to be Olivia's college classmate and former best friend, Sharon Yeats.

Olivia was the one who introduced Sharon to Raphael.
