Chapter 1015: Chapter 1015: Happiness for the Rest of Her Life

The girl stood still with the name card in her hand, and as soon as she saw Miles Sterling lock his car and walk away, she immediately ran back to the art studio.

"Teacher Sterling!"

The girl suddenly pushed the door open and came in, startling Vanessa Sterling, who was standing by the window.

A bit flustered, Vanessa turned her gaze away and quickly turned back to sit on the chair in front of the easel. "What’s wrong?"

The girl chuckled. "Were you peeking at someone again?"

"I just felt a little stuffy, so I opened the window for some air."

The girl looked at her with skepticism and asked, "Did you see me going to him just now?"

Vanessa was taken aback. "You went to see him?"

Seeing Vanessa’s bewildered expression, the girl laughed and said, "Alright, Teacher Sterling, I believe you were just opening the window."

"Why did you go to him?"

The girl shook the name card in her hand, then placed it on the small cart next to Vanessa, which was filled with paints and drawing tools. Playfully, she said, "No need to thank me. I’m just setting your future happiness here, Teacher Sterling."

Vanessa looked down in confusion, and when she saw that it was Miles Sterling’s name card, her face uncontrollably flushed red.

"Oh, Teacher Sterling, have you secretly looked for him before?"

Avoiding eye contact, Vanessa responded, "Why would I look for him?"

"Because when I asked for his card, he seemed to say something like, ’Your boss knows my contact info.’ Could it be that you met him at a previous art exhibit?"

"...Maybe."

"You two really have fate! And he also shares the same surname. With so many coincidences, surely Cupid is secretly tying the knot for you. Teacher Sterling, go for it! Just a little courage, and happiness will be yours!"

Red-faced with embarrassment, Vanessa hesitated, not knowing how to explain.

The teaching assistant didn’t give her a chance to explain, waving goodbye while running toward the door. "My boyfriend is here to pick me up. Bye, Teacher Sterling!"

Vanessa nodded. The girl ran to the door and even made a cheering gesture at her.

Vanessa glanced at her encouragingly, and after the assistant left, she looked at the dark name card.

Drawn to the engraved name "Miles Sterling" on the card, she unknowingly drifted off in thought.

She never considered Miles Sterling her happiness, yet now, this name seems no longer a nightmare.

She didn’t know why her heart was racing so, either.

She reached out to pick up the name card, looked at the trash bin beside her, hesitated, but ended up slipping the card into a nearby wooden drawer.

Miles Sterling stayed in his room, knowing that the name card wouldn’t change anything, but he still glanced from time to time at the phone beside his bed.

Hoping that its dark screen would light up the next second.

Until late at night, such a fantasy ultimately didn’t come true.

Despite the cold medicine being said to induce drowsiness, Miles was wide awake.

He walked to the balcony and lit a cigarette, only then noticing that the small building across the street still had its lights on.

Through the window, he could vaguely see a girl painting at an easel.

It was so late, yet she hadn’t slept.

He remembered she was at the hospital getting an IV drip during the day, but she wasn’t resting, even now.

Miles showed concern on his face but couldn’t express it directly.

She had finally found stability in this city, and if he disturbed her, she might move to another city again.

Miles didn’t want her to lead such an unstable life, so even though he often went on business trips to this city, he only quietly stayed nearby, observing without daring to meet her.
