A minute ago, he had just confirmed with the house butler that Jolene wasn’t home.
Garrison angrily pounded the steering wheel, then suddenly remembered that a few days ago Jolene had asked him for the house in the western suburbs.
“I knew it, this was all premeditated!”
“Jolene, you think I can’t find you by hiding there?”
With that, he let out a cold laugh and drove out of the
underground parking garage.
But when he had driven for two hours and arrived in front of the villa, he was stunned.
The front yard was desolate, and no lights were on inside. It didn’t look like anyone had been there at all.
Garrison took out his phone and called his assistant to inquire, but unexpectedly received an even more shocking response,
“Ma’am never asked to transfer ownership of the house in the
still under your name.” western suburbs… The house is still under
Then what was that contract he had signed earlier?
At that moment, Garrison panicked.
He rushed back into the car and sped home.
Returning home, looking at the cold and empty living room, he actually felt a sense of discomfort.

No matter how late he used to come back, there would always be a light on in the entryway, and a bowl of chicken soup kept warm on
the table.
But now, there was nothing.Jolene’s seven–year existence seemed to leave nothing behind.
Garrison arrived at Jolene’s door and knocked.
There was no response.
He opened the door and entered, finding nothing missing inside.
But the familiar person was no longer there.
He frantically rummaged through the room’s cabinets and bookshelves.
Trying to find any trace of Jolene’s whereabouts.
Only then did he realize how little he knew about her.
She seemed to have no family, no friends.
For seven years, she had always revolved around him.
Her eyes looked at him with such intensity, so why, why could she
leave so resolutely?
Garrison had a vague feeling that Jolene was hiding something from him, and he was determined to find out!
He pulled out his phone and called his assistant again,
“Investigate! I want to know everything about Jolene!”

Typically, cloning projects begin with cultivating embryos.
But I couldn’t wait, nor did I want various objective factors to lead to failure.
What I wanted was a completely whole Dane.
At this time, a foreign company extended an olive branch to me.
The project carried certain risks, but it was worth a try.
Everyone says that cloned things, no matter how similar, can never be the original.
These seven years spent by Garrison’s side.
Occasionally, I would become disoriented, thinking Dane had returned.
But when I happily embraced him with a sense of ease, I could always smell that perfume belonging to Melody on him.
I constantly jumped between fantasy and reality, which left me physically and mentally exhausted.
So, I’m very aware of the drawbacks involved.
I understand that a clone won’t be the original Dane.
But I truly need him.
After seven years, I was finally going to see Dane again.
I waited in the reception area, my hands trembling uncontrollably from excitement.

At that moment, footsteps sounded beside me.
A hand poked my left cheek and said,
“Jolene, are you waiting for me?”
Hearing that name again, I froze.
Slowly raising my head, my eyes were already brimming with tears.
“Dane……”
No one else would call me that anymore except him.I snuggled into his embrace, savoring the familiar warmth, repeating words of longing over and over,
“You’re finally back. I’ve missed you so much…”
Dane gently patted my back, chuckling softly,

Just that one sentence made me feel like all those 2,500–plus days.
were worth it.
For the rest of our lives, I’ll never let him get hurt again.
Since Dane was a product of the cloning project, he essentially
belonged to the company.
We had to settle in Switzerland according to the company’s
requirements.
Dane squeezed my palm and asked,
“Will you regret not being able to go back to the States?”
I rested my head on his shoulder and smiled,
