Now that Clara was back. Her friends held all kinds of welcome banquets for her, so it was naturally not appropriate for her to deliberately ignore Caleb.

He, who was overjoyed, attended the banquet after not seeing Clara for many years.

"Are you going out so late?"

"Well, Clara is back. Her flight is delayed, so she will arrive late."

My heart skipped a beat when I heard Clara's name. Clara's name had been haunting my and Caleb's youth. I hadn't heard of her name for a long time, but her name had always been weighing on my mind.

"Do you have to go?" I lowered my voice as if pleading.

"Well. A long time has passed since I last saw her. Of course, I have to go." Caleb did not notice my abnormality. Staring at me, he raised his eyebrows and said, "If you want to go with me, you can. After all..."

"No, you go ahead."

Before he could finish speaking, I interrupted him.

I didn't want to hear him out.

It was a rainy night today. The sound of rain always rendered me ill at ease. I had something on my mind.

I found an umbrella and wanted to go out to clear my mind.

The butler at home stopped me.

"Mrs. Moore, Mr. Moore ordered that you can‘t go out on rainy nights anymore."
