Chapter 6 By the time I arrived at Pemberly , night had already settled in . Although they were usually in bed early , my parents stood by the station exit , their eyes scanning the crowd . The moment I spotted them , I ran straight into their arms , my voice trembling with emotion . " Mom … Dad … " My father , Charlie Lennox , gently stroked my hair , a warm smile spreading across his face . " It's alright now . You're home . That's all that matters . " Everything at home remained exactly as I had left it , untouched by the passing of time . After two days of rest , I officially began working at the law firm my parents had built from the ground up . They kept my identity hidden from the staff , so I joined like any other newcomer . If I wanted to stay , I'd have to prove myself by passing the probation period . Nevertheless , I felt a joy I hadn't experienced in a long while . From now on , I was finally living for myself . I had succeeded in Aberton . There was no reason I couldn't shine in Pemberly too . Three months later , I officially passed my probation . When my parents heard the news , they threw a big feast at home . " We always knew you could do it ! 11 Making it through probation at their prestigious law firm was no easy feat . Just as my mother , Camilla Marsh , was about to set the last dish on the table , the doorbell unexpectedly rang . Without much thought , I opened the door , and there stood Damien , whom I hadn't seen in three months . " Nora … " . " He looked worn and exhausted , and his hair was tousled and unkempt . He was nothing like the polished Damien I knew from Aberton . His voice was rough , almost hoarse . When I remained frozen by the door , my mother stepped forward and asked , " What's going on ? " Knowing how much my parents disliked Damien , panic surged through me . I grabbed his arm and pulled him outside . " I need to step out for a moment , Mom , " I called over my shoulder . Clutching Damien's arm , I hurried down the stairs . Only when I was sure that my mother wasn't behind me did I finally let him go . " How did you know I was here ? " I asked . Damien shifted his weight nervously , his voice barely above a whisper . " Please don't be angry . I've been searching for you for a long time . Just yesterday , I saw Mrs. Lennox enter this neighborhood , and with the help of some old classmates , I managed to get inside . " I followed her quietly all the way to your doorstep , hesitating for what felt like an eternity before finally finding the courage to knock . " He carefully pulled a bracelet from his pocket and held it out to me . " This is the bracelet you broke back then . I found it in the trash and fixed it . " At the sight of the bracelet that had been with me for four years , now lying before me , I froze . Even with all the careful repairs , the faint cracks remained . I didn't reach out to take it . Instead , I said , " It's fine . Why don't you give it to Astrid instead ? " But with all the luxury things you've given her , I doubt she'd care about something this cheap . " Damien lowered his head , guilt plain on his face . " I was wrong . I'm sorry … " It wasn't until after you left that I realized just how badly I messed up . Please , let me make it right . " " No , " I replied without hesitation . " I won't fall for the same mistake twice . " Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
