While waiting for her reply, his heart grew colder bit by bit.
He tried hard to rationalize, after all, it was an overseas number, and she didn't know who sent it to her.
So... not replying was quite normal.
Yet he couldn't help but hope.
Just when he was about to give up, Selena Kensington replied with a 'thank you'.
Even though it was just a simple and polite phrase, it was enough to make Alessio happy for the whole day.
He repeatedly looked at the phone and stared at that message, fixating on those two words as if he could see Selena through them.
During the Gorgeous Award ceremony, he locked himself in his room specifically to watch the live broadcast online.
He saw her glowing appearance, he saw her winning two trophies.
He also saw her... flaunting her lover.
He wanted to be there in person, to congratulate and celebrate with her...
But he couldn't, he had not even given her the gift he had prepared for so long.
Would she be angry because of this?
