Chapter 1462: Chapter 1461: Of Course I’ll Always Wait

Since then, after the car accident involving Charles Northwood, even fewer people talked to her.

Many blamed her, saying she was the reason Charles Northwood had the accident; without her, he wouldn’t have had the accident or left University A.

Thus, she was isolated.

This isolation made her more reclusive, yet more at peace to wait for Charles Northwood’s return.

"Let me take you to a place. It’s a place Fiona, Charles, and I often go to."

Upon hearing Charles’s name, Tara Jameson’s heart skipped a beat, and she stared at her blankly.

The restaurant was very close to the school, merely minutes away.

As soon as the owner saw Nia Mitchell, he immediately smiled.

"You haven’t been here in a while!"

"Yeah, I’ve been interning."

"Fiona hasn’t been around for a long time either."

The restaurant was near the school, and naturally, the owner was aware of the accident involving Charles Northwood, so he deliberately avoided the topic.

"The usual spot."

No one knew that this restaurant actually had a very secretive private room, accessible only by passing through the kitchen and heading to the backyard.

Tara Jameson followed Nia Mitchell forward, as if stepping into Charles Northwood’s world.

"We used to come here often. Do you like spicy food?"

Tara froze.

"I can handle spicy food, but I rarely eat it."

"You should try the spicy boiled fish here; even I, who can’t eat spicy, love it. By the way, Charles particularly liked this dish."

Saying so, they entered the private booth and sat down.

"Did you come to ask me out just to dine here?"

Tara clenched her fists; this place belonged to them and Charles, not her.

Her only connection with Charles might be the studio apartment he sold.

Seeing Tara like this, Nia realized she had said something wrong.

So she reached into her bag, took out a key, and placed it on the table.

"A few days ago, I attended a banquet and met Charles’s brother."

"He told me Charles is not dead, just kept isolated by the family, and Charles wanted him to give this key to you."

Tara was stunned. Though she was steadfast in believing Charles was not dead, ultimately, it was wishful thinking.

Suddenly, tears began to fall.

"Is he really alive?"

Disbelieving, Tara took the key, gripping it tightly.

"I knew it, I knew it, I knew..."

How could he be dead?

They had promised to be together; he had vowed to fight.

He had said they’d spend a lifetime together; all she had to do was stand behind him and tell him she loved him, and that would be enough.

So, how could someone who made such promises be dead?

Seeing Tara like this, Nia felt uncomfortable inside.

Tara’s excitement was beyond words; watching her, a gentle smile slowly spread across Nia’s face.

"Will you... wait for him?"

Nia asked Tara, somewhat uncertain.

"Of course."

Even before learning whether Charles was alive, she had decided to wait.

Moreover, now...

Thinking of this, she flashed her first smile since Charles’s "death".

"Nia, thank you for bringing me this news."
