My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
Chapter 1448

Chapter 1448 Burdened by Worries

The revelry continued until after one o'clock in the morning.

The islanders cherished the place that had nurtured them. When it ended, everyone worked together to clean up all the trash on the beach quickly.

Marsh had deep feelings for the island. After packing up, he led Stacey toward their old house.

The house had been emptying for a while and looked a bit dilapidated.

Marsh held Stacey's hand and looked at the house, his eyes turning red. "The next time we come, this house will probably be gone."

Usually, at this moment, Stacey would comfort Marsh gently.

But Marsh waited for a moment and noticed that Stacey didn't show any intention to speak.

Marsh immediately felt aggrieved. "Honey, why do you seem absent-minded?"

Stacey snapped back to reality. She had spent most of the evening with Athena.

Athena was truly different from the wealthy ladies she had met. Athena was so gentle and friendly.

When Stacey talked about her business, Athena even provided professional investment advice from an investor's perspective.

Unlike some people who would talk in a very profound way... Athena's suggestions were straightforward and easy to understand, and Stacey was greatly inspired.

But occasionally, when no one was talking to her, Athena would stare off into space. She was clearly filled with sadness.

Stacey knew Athena was missing her husband.

The more Stacey saw her like this, the clearer the image of Zora's fiancé became in her mind, even linking more with her memories of Byron.

"It's nothing. It's almost two o'clock in the morning. Let's go back to sleep. If you don't get enough sleep, you'll have a headache tomorrow and have to take a car and a boat, which is really a hassle." Stacey tightened her grip on Marsh's hand.

She and Marsh had been childhood sweethearts. They had known each other since they were kids.

Over the years, they had never grown tired of each other and had always been deeply in love.

She imagined herself as Athena. If Marsh suddenly disappeared, she wouldn't be able to go on living.

Seeing Stacey so preoccupied, Marsh became worried. He followed her words, and they started walking back.

As they passed Seth's inn, Stacey subconsciously glanced at it.

Her curiosity grew a bit more. Bertha's inn was now the largest on the island.

Today, all the old neighbors returned, and Bertha's inn was the only one not hosting any neighbors.

Bertha said it was because she had been extorted by others on the island before, and she was too exhausted. Before leaving her old house, she didn't want to be disturbed by others. However, in Stacey's impression, Bertha wasn't this kind of person.

Those who stayed on the island extorted her, not those old neighbors who had always been friendly neighbors.

She glanced at the other inns not far away.

The revelers had just gone back to rest, so their lights were still on.

Only Bertha's place had its doors tightly shut, enveloped in darkness.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Marsh saw Stacey standing still, not moving, and gently asked, "You've seemed troubled all night. Did something happen?"

"Marsh, if you found someone who seemed to be a family member of your friends, and they were lost, but there's no way they could be where they are now, would you tell your friend?"
