After breaking up with Richard Sheffied, Vanessa Sterling adjusted her mood and threw herself completely into her work.
The first comic has already been adapted into a TV drama and is currently airing.
She chases the drama every day and finds many changes in her own mindset from those stories.
The male lead of the first comic was indeed modeled after Quentin Sterling, which was indeed the kind of love she once fantasized about.
But now, when she watches those plots, she just treats them as an ordinary romance drama and can no longer imrse herself in her forr state of mind.
Perhaps it’s because she has completely let go of her fantasies about Quentin Sterling, or maybe it’s because her expectations for the future have changed.
She feels that she doesn’t necessarily have to integrate into soone else’s world, nor does she have to welco soone into hers; living in a way she feels comfortable is enough.
At first, when she learned that Miles Sterling lived next door, Vanessa Sterling was a bit worried, afraid she would return to that dark lifestyle.
But she found that the current Miles Sterling was a completely different person from before.
Not only does he not disturb her life, even when they et in the elevator, he is very cautious and guarded, with a look of wanting to talk to her but not daring to.
Such a Miles Sterling is not annoying, but Vanessa Sterling still keeps her distance from him.
She doesn’t want any entanglents with him as he was before, nor any new ones with him now.
Miles Sterling watched the surveillance for a few days and found that Vanessa Sterling still rarely went out, but a delivery guy would co to her door every day.
It’s only when she takes her delivery that she briefly appears on the surveillance footage.
He then realized that Vanessa Sterling stays in not because she’s feeling down from a breakup, but because she’s inherently a hobody.
Seeing Vanessa Sterling live comfortably and freely on her own, Miles Sterling doesn’t disturb her.
Being able to live next door to her and observe her every day is enough for Miles Sterling.
However, while Vanessa Sterling’s side made Miles Sterling feel peaceful, Gwen Grant’s side was full of events.
Ever since Gwen Grant got pregnant, she moved into The Sterling residence.
Wendy Jennings revolves around Gwen Grant every day, partly out of worry for Gwen and the child’s safety, and partly out of concern that Miles Sterling might take Gwen to the hospital to terminate the pregnancy.
Despite Wendy Jennings calling Miles Sterling every few days to persuade him, his attitude remains clear—he won’t acknowledge the child even if it’s born.
If Gwen Grant doesn’t divorce him, then he won’t return to The Sterlings.
Miles Sterling’s resolute stance was unexpected for Gwen Grant; she thought he might soften sowhat because of the child.
The root cause of all this was still that girl nad Vanessa...
...
After finishing his morning work, Miles Sterling had lunch in the company cafeteria.
Before taking a nap in the break room, as usual, he took out his tablet to check the surveillance footage outside his ho.
Generally, at about this ti, Vanessa Sterling would go out to pick up her delivery.
While Miles Sterling was watching the tablet screen, he suddenly saw a woman appear on the screen, glance around, and walk straight to Vanessa Sterling’s door, pressing the doorbell.
Upon realizing the woman was Gwen Grant, Miles Sterling imdiately sensed sothing was wrong; Gwen Grant seeking out Vanessa Sterling privately couldn’t be for anything good.
Miles Sterling hurriedly sat up from the sofa, took out his phone to contact the driver while hastily heading towards the elevator in a panic.
