When he arrived in New York, it was evening, which was something Yang Yi intentionally arranged because Petra might not be home during the day.
Speaking of this home, Yang Yi often disappeared for long periods without a word, so whether Petra still wanted to live in a place he once called home was uncertain.
Yang Yi felt it was a miracle that Petra could still tolerate his on-and-off appearances, or no, it was true love.
