Chapter 907
Chapter 907
Before the second semester of Grade Twelve, Serena got offers from many universities because of her outstanding academic records.
"Mommy, don't tell Avery about these college things. It is a surprise I prepare for him."
"OK, fine, all on you. Surprise him. Which university do you want to go?" Tracey asked.
A genius like Serena was popular among the universities, so was Avery.
He dragged on for Serena; otherwise, he should have finished his education long ago.
"Fine, topic changed. It is said that he won't come back for the festival this year."
"Mommy, can I go to celebrate the festival with Avery?"
"Yes. Although you are not eighteen yet, I said that you could do whatever you wanted after you went to college."
"Thank you, mommy." Serena booked a flight ticket to the UK.
"Christmas is around the corner, and why don't you go celebrate it with him?"
"Thanks, mommy." Serena went back to her bedroom happily.
Adam cuddled Tracey from behind, "Avery has stayed away for years. He may be busy or..."
As a man, Adam was afraid that Avery already had a new sweetheart and pretended to be busy.
"Back then, little Avery proposed to get engaged with Serena in the US. It was their fate, and no one knows when and where it will end."
"But I believe that Avery is a good boy. He will not let our Serena down." Tracey looked at the darkness. She knew very well how difficult it was for lovers to stick to each other till their hair turned grey.
A smooth beginning didn't guarantee a happy ending. Fate was out of control.
"Well, it's getting cold. Let's go inside."
"Okay." Tracey walked in the house with Adam hand in hand.
Serena returned to her room, which was filled with many peculiar gifts.
Over the past two years, Avery sent gifts to her before every festival.
She pulled open the drawer, which contained two boxes made of brocade. Avery would give her a diamond ring each her birthday. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
How could such devoted Avery fall in love with
someone else?
Serena had nothing to worry about, even if they hadn't seen each other for almost three years.
In her opinion, when love was deep enough, nothing could separate the lovers.
Avery bid her goodnight like before, and Serena already got her flight ticket ready.
She put the little jade lock near her heart every night as if it could bring Avery close to her.
Serena went to the airport early in the morning. As soon as she arrived at the airport, a familiar voice caught her attention.
"Dear Serena, do you believe in fate?" Kieran in a navy blue coat and a scarf stood in the waiting room.
Serena felt a headache at the sight of him, "You are not telling me that you are on your way to the UK?!"
"Bingo! My dad has a branch there, and I'm going there. By the way, I chose Cambridge. What about you?"
Serena's face froze.
"Well, are you suggesting that we will go to the same college? Serena, do you believe in fate? We have been to the same school from kindergarten."
Serena felt that Kieran was a mystery in her life. She told him nothing about her plans, like skipping grades and Cambridge, but he would always show up on her side.
Now, he went to the same university as her. Serena felt helpless.
"It will be Christma Eve when the plane lands. Can you celebrate it with me for our deskmateship?"
"No." Serena planned to celebrate Christmas Eve with Avery, a surprise for him!
"Humph, I knew the answer. You are going to spend it with Avery, aren't you? Serena, Avery didn't come back to see you for years. Does it ever cross your mind that he may not love you anymore?"
Serena punched him in the face for these words, "He will still love me even if he is of petrification."
"Bah, bah, don't say such bad things before our boarding the plane."
Ignoring Kieran, Serena sent a message to Avery, "Avery, I'll give you a surprise this Christmas Eve."
Avery's reply came soon, "Hmm? What surprise?"
There was a time lag. Sometimes it was midnight on the side of Avery when Serena called or texted him.
However, Avery would respond to Serena the moment he heard the exclusive ring for Serena, even in his sleep.
"It won't be a surprise if I say it now." She added a smiley face in the text.
"Humph, your laughing face told me that it was from Avery. Can't you have some compassion for me, who has been your deskmate for so many years? For example, celebrating Christmas Eve with me."
"Get lost." Serena put away her phone and boarded the plane with her suitcase.
The plane took off while Kieran chattered. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, Serena felt that she was getting closer and closer to Avery.
The long flight flashed by. Serena said goodbye to Kieran as soon as they deplaned.
"Well, you go to your father's now. Let's say goodbye here."
"Why is the point of driving me away? I want to see what my university looks like. You're heading for Cambridge, aren't you? We can be companions to there."
Until now, Serena realized that the carefree Kieran was attentive and considerate. He always penetrated her intentions.
Serena got used to Kieran after all these years, "Whatever."
They arrived at Cambridge. Serena felt nothing special here as she had seen it through videos and photos many times.
At this moment, all she wanted to know was where her lover was.
It was dusk now, and the snowflakes floated down. The scene was beautiful and romantic.
Both Serena and Avery downloaded a location tracking app on their phones.
Following the instruction of the app, she approached Avery step by step. She crossed mountains and oceans to meet Avery.
This distance was less than 500 meters now, and Serena felt her heart beat faster.
'What should I say after such a long separation?'
'Will he like my scarf? Does he think it ugly?'
Occupied by her own thoughts, Serena didn't notice what Kieran was saying. She was eager to see Avery.
However, what awaited her after such a blow!
Avery was standing in the snow, and a woman was leaning in his arms.
Her tears fell down immediately, and she felt heartbroken.
