When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Four hours later, the plane landed. This was my first time here in W City. As one of the most vibrant cities in the nation, W City was as bustling as the capital city, but they were distinctively different from one another.

K City was notable and sophisticated while W City was glitz and glamor.

Besides, the weather in W City was different, too. Unlike K City, it would snow two times per year, at most three.

After getting off the plane, I dared not waste a second longer and hailed a cab to the Crest Residence. It was not snowing in W City, but most of the trees at the side of the road had withered. The scenery outside was underwhelming.

The Crest family had been one of the most prominent families in W City for a long time. Moreover, owning a huge mansion in an upscale location undoubtedly attracted the attention of the public.

When I told the driver to drop me off at the Crest Residence, he could not believe his ears. Staring at me, he asked once again, “Miss, are you sure your destination is the Crest Residence? Are you a friend of the Crest family?”

I pursed my lips and looked outside the window. “No.”

Taken aback by my answer, he proceeded to remind me kindly. “The upper class like the Crest family normally has a high standard in choosing their daughters-in-law. It’s rather inappropriate for you to go to their house uninvited.”

Hearing his words, I realized that he had regarded me as a frivolous woman who wanted to marry the rich.

Pursing my lips, I refused to explain myself to him.

When the car came to a stop in front of the Crest residence, the driver turned to me and apologized, “I’m sorry, Miss. I can only send you here. Outsiders are forbidden from going inside. If you wish to enter, the entrance is right over there, and you should inform the security guard before going in. The Crest Residence is really big, so you need someone to drive you inside.”

I nodded and paid him before getting off the taxi.
