He thought she was just a stand–in, be thought she would never leave, he thought… he would never regret.
But now, the villa was eerily quiet, no sound of her, no warmth of her.
“Catherine… came back…”
Jerome’s voice was extremely hoarse, as if it was squeezed out from his chest.
But this time, no one responded to him anymore.

In her first week in Vashon, Catherine was slightly adjusting to the new environment.
But she didn’t take these things to heart. Instead, she threw herself wholeheartedly into the field of design and spent all day in the studio.
Her grades were excellent at first, but she gave up the opportunity to study abroad that should have belonged to her because of her poor family background.
In addition to always staying by Jerome’s side, she lingered in his gentle land, naturally throwing academic matters to the back of her mind.
And now, Catherine left him, able to pursue her own dreams. In addition, when mentor Maria offered her an olive branch, she didn’t hesitate to come here.
The first thing Maria did when she arrived in Vashon was to show her around the unfamiliar campus.
This school is a well–known art university at home and abroad,
road, with a strong
a strong artistic atmosphere that quickly immersed Catherine in it.
“Catherine, it was so great that you chose to come here for your studies. Since you, I haven’t seen anyone with such talent.”
Maria pulled Catherine aside and said earnestly,
Upon hearing Maria’s words, Catherine couldn’t help but feel touched.
When she was by Jerome’s side, he frowned and threatened her.
“If you still want money to treat your mother’s illness, stay by my side and don’t go anywhere.”
Thinking of the man who had hindered her growth, Catherine shook her head with a smile and remained silent
From the moment she left Jerome, she was destined to be a free bird.
She watched the young people coming and going with their easels or instruments, her excitement growing, wanting to join them immediately.
Maria showed her around the teaching building where they had classes, as well as the studio they needed after class, and then left first.
Catherine rented a small apartment five minutes away from school based on Maria’s suggestion, saving a lot of time.
Whenever in class, she was always the most active person in the class and interacted with the teacher.
Perhaps because It was a rare learning opportunity, she worked harder than anyone else.
That evening, the studio was left with only Catherine.
She was so serious that she didn’t even notice when it pot dark.
Catherine turned her sore shoulders and neck, tidied up her sketches and was about to leave when she suddenly heard a plano sound coming from
somewhere.
The melody of the platio was very beautiful, it was the song that father loved the most before he passed away. Catherine was unconsciously moved by the sound of the piano, her eyes moist.
She was momentarily enchanted, as if this was a symphony playing just for her in the quiet corridor.
Catherine was determined to find the source of the piano music. She followed the sound with her bag slung over her shoulder and arrived at a small chapel.
She pushed open the heavy doors of the auditorium and saw only the tall figure of a man.
He sat in front of the plane at the center of the stage, playing with great absorption, and the music he played seemed to come to life, slowly flowing into Catherine’s heart
