Chapter 257
A slim girl, all dolled up, hopped out, surrounded by a flutter of colorful butterflies.
She excitedly leaped into Theo’s arms, snuggling into his embrace “Theo, I’m back. Thanks for everything you’ve prepared for me I
love it, and I’m really touched!”
Ellinor stood by the side, wearing a deadpan expression as she watched them
That fleeting moment of nervousness and fluttering heart now seemed rather ridiculous.
Patricia was back.
Today, every tulip in Pearl Moon was there to welcome Patricia’s return.
And Theo had wanted her here, probably to let her know his Patricia was back. He wanted her to be prepared and be careful with her words and actions to avoid causing any misunderstandings with Patricia. That must be it, right?
So, that’s it. She got it now.
She’d almost misunderstood, thinking Theo was about to confess his feelings to her!
Theo had once told her he could give her anything except love.
His love belongs only to Patricia, just like the meaning of tulips – the greatest love, the only love, the endless love.
A butterfly fluttered past, circling around Ellinor It seemed to be reminding her: you’re not needed here, you should leave.
Belinda, not far away, furrowed her brows, stunned. What was going on?
What was Theo doing?
Why did Patricia choose to return today of all days?
And where was Ellinor?

Belinda noticed Ellinor was gone. She quickly pulled out her phone to call Ellinor, only to be met with a robotic voicemail message: Sorry, the number you’re calling is
switched off
Ellinor had already left.
As night fell, the towering skyscrapers of the bustling The Bund in Greenhaven lit up.
On the LED display of the Century Bank skyscraper, the scrolling message read. “I love you, my girl.”
The big screen on the neighboring building was broadcasting ‘Welcome back, my moon princess!”
Expensive blue fireworks filled the sky, with countless drones performing in the air, forming the shape of an arrow piercing a heart.
Young couples strolling by the river, tourists snapping pictures, and random passersby all looked on in envy and curiosity, full of awe.
“Oh my god, which CEO is confessing his love to his girlfriend?”
“How sweet!
“I heard that a mysterious tycoon bought all the pink tulips in the world, had them air–shipped back home, and planted in Pearl Moon overnight. I suspect it’s all for today”
“Pearl Moon? The confession on the skyscraper’s LED display also mentions‘ Moon princess. Could they be referring to Patricia of Pearl Moon?”
“Who’s Patricia?”
“You don’t know Patricia? She comes from an extremely illustrious family background! Her grandfather is a world–renowned scientist, her grandmother is a princess of a foreign royal family, her father is a world champion, her mother is a multi–award–winning actress, her brother is a CEO who consistently ranks among the top three on the world’s rich list, and her younger brother is the most popular person in school. She was born with everything!”
“And she’s incredibly beautiful too.”
“I’m not surprised someone would go to such lengths for her. After all, she’s always had everything she could ever want, so it must be really hard to impress herl
Ellinor sat on a bench along the Trent River, sipping on a Coke while looking up at the sky’s drone show and blue fireworks.
A small smile played on her lips. Theo sure did go all out for the one he likes.
