I tapped Greta's head and said, "No. I already told you, I don't have that kind of romantic feeling for your brother. Don't make baseless accusations!"

Greta covered her head and answered reluctantly, "How do you know it doesn't feel good if you haven't tried it yet? Syl, you have to trust me. Dylan is definitely a good guy. If you were with him and he dared to treat you badly or flirt with other girls, I promise I would give him a beating!"

Dylan was indeed a good man. Whether it was his family background, appearance, or character, he was excellent.

If emotions could be forced, I would also like to give it a try with Dylan.

But I really couldn't do it, and I didn't dare to try. If we had become ambiguous and felt it was not suitable, choosing to separate, might affect my relationship with Greta.

After all, Dylan was her brother. Without a hundred percent certainty, I didn't want to try.

"Greta, leave me alone. I have at least been married once, but you don't even have a boyfriend. You should think about your own love life!" I quickly changed the subject. "What kind of men do you like? How about someone with a stable job, someone responsible? I'll ask my dad to keep an eye out for you."

When it comes to her lifelong commitment, Greta shrinks back. Her eyes even avoid contact. "Forget it. I am a live-in-the-moment kind of person. Marriage would only confine my wild and free-spirited soul."

Suddenly, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and seemed a bit nervous. She hurriedly went to the side to answer the call, trying to hide it. After finishing the call, she said to me, "Syl, I made plans to meet someone for a drink, so I have to go now!"

"Drink less," I said helplessly.

"Got it!" Greta grabbed her bag and swiftly walked away.

As soon as she left, I went upstairs to continue packing my things. Before the court hearing, I wanted to move out of Maple Villa. I intended to show my determination through this action.

I had too many clothes and jewelry. I packed a total of five suitcases. Afterward, I went to the music room to tidy up my cello and some sheet music.

In the process of searching for sheet music, I opened a long-forgotten wooden box. Inside, there was a composition I had written myself. It was all created based on my feelings toward Frederic. I had once eagerly wanted to perform it for him, but I was rejected.

There was also a transparent glass jar in the box. Inside, there were colorful handmade stars. These were the ones I stayed up late folding for Frederic. I also wrote Frederic's name on each piece of paper.

There was a rose specimen placed at the bottom of the box. That was the only time Frederic ever gave me flowers. We were not married at that time. My in-laws brought him to my house to celebrate my birthday. Evie asked Frederic what gift he had prepared for me. Frederic didn't prepare anything at all, he plucked a decorated rose from the cake and handed it to me.

This was the most perfunctory gift, and I have preserved it as a specimen for so many years.

I covered the wooden box and put it back in its original place, then continued searching. I found a scarf that was halfway knitted, a pillow that was two-thirds embroidered, and a faded red string bracelet.

Back then, my naive infatuation was no less than Emilia's today. I also had tender and innocent feelings for Frederic, and I also made efforts.

I sighed and put these things back in their original places. I didn't intend to take them with me.

I gradually finished packing everything. The next morning, I had the servant help me move the suitcases into the car. I drove to another property under my name. It was a single-person apartment that I had prepared before getting married. I had lived there for a period of time during my university years. It had been a long time since I last stayed there.

All the furniture and appliances in the apartment were covered with dust covers, but there was still a smell of dust lingering. Of course, I didn't clean it myself, but hired personnel from a housekeeping company.

After the staff from the housekeeping company arrived, I asked them to clean the apartment as quickly as possible. There were a total of five people who came. The cleaning speed was very fast.
