Love On Ice: Don’t Leave Me, My Charming Liar

Chapter 402: Nyla snapped back to reality, realizing she could never cross paths with Ethan again or revisit her past life. After exiting the restroom, she headed directly to their private dining room. At the same time, Callie caught a brief glimpse of someone resembling Nyla, stopping to ponder. Was that actually Nyla? "Miss Higgins, is everything alright?" inquired the manager, noticing her distraction.

Callie, dismissing her fleeting doubt, asked, "Is there anyone named Green on the patron list today?" The manager promptly replied, "No, there isn't." Feeling reassured, Callie brushed aside her suspicions. It couldn't possibly be Nyla. After all, Nyla had died in that blaze four years ago. Her sudden reappearance was unthinkable. Ethan had searched for her extensively to no avail; Nyla must truly be gone. "Okay, just ensure everything is as I instructed. You can go ahead," Callie instructed calmly, turning away with a neutral expression. The manager quickly nodded and left.

"Ethan, I'm here," Callie called out. Callie watched as Ethan walked toward her and quickly moved to take his arm. "Let's head inside," Ethan said, showing little reaction and making no effort to resist. A slight smile played on Callie's lips. "I've arranged everything. It's rare for both families to come together like this. The last time was years ago," Callie remarked thoughtfully. Ethan's expression remained unchanged; he simply nodded and followed her into the reserved private room. Members of both the Brooks family and Higgins family were already there.

Brevard and Roger laughed at her comment, contributing to the pleasant mood. Ethan, however, kept to himself, taking a seat silently, which only encouraged further lighthearted teasing. "Ethan, it's been years. Callie has been waiting for you all this while. You really should pay more attention," Roger scolded gently, his meaning clear.

Over the past few years, the Brooks family had enjoyed a peaceful phase, presenting a united front to the world. Under Callie's guidance, the Higgins family had risen to become the third wealthiest in Ulares, nearly surpassing the Wheeler family. As for the past, Ethan had initially spent a year looking into things but had eventually stopped. Whether he had truly moved on was unclear. "Dad, if you want to enjoy this meal, let's not discuss these things right now," Ethan added calmly, taking a sip of his water. Roger appeared somewhat ashamed but refrained from further comment.

Brevard stepped in to lighten the mood. "Let's focus on the occasion. It's rare for us to be together. The food's here; let's eat." The conversation shifted away from sensitive topics. . . .
