Chapter 3 You’re Sharing An Apple? What Are You, Poor?

ผู้เขียน: Professional Bum
Since the corridor was covered in a thick carpet, even if Aqua stepped on it with shoes, she practically made no sound while she walked.

She did not pull a luggage bag behind her. After all, she was leaving with nothing but the backpack on her back.

“Where are you going?”

John’s deep voice rose behind her, and Aqua paused for a second. But she soon calmed down.

“I’m going out on a walk.”

John spoke up anxiously, “Let’s go together, then. Will has already gone off to pick Samara up.”

When she heard that name, Aqua simply sneered.

She pulled the baseball cap down so that John could not see her face clearly. So, all he could do was throw an arm over her shoulder.

For some reason, when he talked to Aqua, he felt nervous.

He knew that this pampered rose had finally decided to show her thorns.

“Are you angry? Don’t take what happened yesterday to heart. Samara also defended you…”

Aqua said nothing and just quietly tightened her grip on her backpack.

John’s phone rang by then. Will was asking them to go downstairs. He said that Samara had finally earned her leave from the production team and could go with them to the theme park for fun.

Aqua had forgotten that it was Christmas Eve today.

“Go. I have something to do.”

John was puzzled.

During the Christmas Eves in the past, she would eagerly ask him to take her to a theme park, and they would play there until nightfall. They would watch the fireworks and make a wish.

Why was she suddenly saying that she was not going?

John frowned. He was used to being in control of the situation, and he could sense that he was losing control over Aqua.

Just as he was about to ask, he heard a car honking.

Will was urging them to hurry up.

He sighed. “Alright. Go on, then. I’ll have the driver pick you up at night.”

No matter what, they had to eat together during Christmas Eve.

He was sure that Aqua would not be able to change a habit they had nurtured for years overnight.

John hurried downstairs, and Samara opened the door to give him an affectionate hug.

Meanwhile, Will looked at Aqua. He opened his mouth to speak, but in the end, he just bit his lip and said nothing.

When Aqua arrived at the door, she saw this, and the light in her eyes faded a little.

She automatically ignored Samara’s smug expression, crossed the garden, and left through the back door.

She still had one more person to meet, and she had to personally bid this person farewell before she left the country.

It was Ms. Wilson, her high school teacher.

She was a retired judge, and her high school had hired her to teach politics. After taking her elective class, Aqua had decided to become a lawyer.

Ms. Wilson could be said to be her mentor.

Ms. Wilson was old. She was almost seventy, but she remained charming.

“Aqua, you’ve grown up so much. I heard that you’ve become a saleswoman, isn’t it? It’s a pity.”

Aqua smiled and said bashfully, “Ms. Wilson, I’m here to say goodbye to you. I’m leaving the country to become a lawyer.”

Ms. Wilson nudged her glasses up the bridge of her nose. Even though she had gone gray, it could not hide the wisdom in her eyes. “Go. You’ve always been an eagle. You should be flying in the sky.

“John and Will were both my students, too.

“While you were still a student, they often came to pick you up. I always thought that you would end up… Oh well, this is fine too. It’s better for people who walk different paths to go their separate ways. You won’t ever get along, even if you try.”

After she departed, Aqua stayed in a hotel.

She turned on her phone to book a plane ticket.

Since it was Christmas Eve and Christmas the next day, the plane tickets for those two days were fully booked.

After looking around, she booked a plane ticket three days later and sent Lily a message.

[Boo, I booked my plane ticket. I’ll see you in three days.]

Once done, she started studying.

When the sun almost set, Samara gave her a video call.

She rejected it.

But Samara kept calling.

As it just kept repeating, Aqua had no choice but to answer it.

In the video, Samara, John, and Will were drinking and talking. On the table was a feast. The three of them shared an apple as the people cheered them on.

Samara blushed as she gingerly took a bite. John and Will smiled in understanding and took huge bites beside hers.

Aqua was not in the mood to watch this stupid act and wanted to hang up, but Samara suddenly cried out, “Aqua, why aren’t you here for the gathering with us?

“John and Will said that they sent someone to pick you up, but I thought that they weren’t sincere enough, so I thought about calling you to ask you to come!”

Was she really inviting Aqua along?

Aqua remained smiling. “I’m not so poor that I need to share an apple with three other people.”

Her blatant insult put Samara in a spot. Even John’s and Will’s expressions turned dark.

John wiped away the juices on the corners of his mouth, tossed the tissue on the table, and asked, “Should I have the driver pick you up now?”

Aqua rejected it easily, “No need.”

But Will could no longer maintain his composure. He asked, “Aqua, it’s just a game. Why do you have to insult Samara?”

Had she insulted her?

It was not as if she wanted to go. If Samara had not called her to provoke her, she would be studying!

What a waste of time.

“Forget it. Have fun.”

Just as she was going to hang up, Samara started crying again. “I’m sorry, Aqua. I’m so stupid. I’ve already tried my best to make you like me… Are you going to be happy if I’m not around?”

She suddenly picked up the knife on the table and brought it to her arm.

Aqua’s eyes flew wide open.

    John found himself unable to retort. He was not married, but he needed someone to take care of his physical needs. “Aqua, listen to me. I never had any feelings for them. I only like you.”Aqua had thought that her heart would hurt, but after she was faced with the truth, she found it as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. “Mr. Frank, that’s your personal business. It has nothing to do with me. I’ve thought about plenty of things over this period of time. My parents got divorced and left me with your family. I’m thankful for both of you being with me, but it’s not love that I felt for you.“It’s the same for Will. We’ve gotten used to living together, and it’s just a psychological habit that’s making us want to stay with each other.”She had kept those things in her heart and thought that she would never say them out loud. To think that she would end up being able to say them so easily. Aqua smiled. “But I have to thank you. If neither you nor Will had forced me

    It was the end of April, but John still pulled his coat tighter around himself. A day before he left, Will suddenly came to him and demanded he hand over Aqua after he brought her back. “Aren’t you worried about me telling the press just who killed Samara? What’s going to happen to Aqua by then?”Will’s face was covered in stubble because he had been hiding in his basement to avoid being investigated. He did not eat and sleep well and looked ten years older. “At the very least, you should let me see her.”“Alright.”John did not think that meeting her once would make Will a threat to him. Will was already a wanted man. Aqua would not choose someone who had taken a life. As he thought about that, he drove to the orchard. It had been over two months, and he was back to this place. John touched the ring in his pocket and knocked on the door. “Coming!”The joyful answer made him delighted. It was Aqua. Was she happy that he was here?But at the moment the door op

  • Time Brews Longing   Chapter 17 Snag Her (2)

    Aqua finished the apple pie and decided to get to the bottom of the matter. But when she went downstairs, Lily was already gone. Mike was cleaning up in the kitchen. He had an apron around his waist and was washing the dishes. As he held a plate in one hand, he used the other to spin it as water flowed down. Suddenly, Aqua remembered how he had pulled her hand to feel his abs. She had originally wanted to delete the photo with the abs, but after sliding her finger around the screen, she chose to save the picture instead. Whenever she did not want to study, she would sneak a peek, and all her sleepiness would disappear.She was not one who indulged in the pleasures of the flesh; she just thought that it would be a waste to not admire those abs. Since Mike was rich and generous, even if she stared at his abs, they would not disappear. And after listening in to their conversation and hearing Lily say that he liked her, Aqua could not continue pretending to be ignorant any

    After learning about this, John contacted the social media platform to ban her live-streaming. Samara knew that this meant John was willing to pay a price to silence her. She was only testing the waters. If she was cornered, she was going to expose the fact that John and Aqua liked each other, despite their age gap. John said nothing and just transferred 5 million dollars to her. Just as she walked out of the bank happily, a car charged straight into her without ever honking or bothering to swerve. Samara’s eyes flew wide open in disbelief and fear. But she could not avoid it. Her body flew into the air before she crashed back down. Since she was famous, news of her death spread like wildfire, but the news soon faded into obscurity. John checked his phone and made a mark at the end of April on his calendar. He used that period of time to make some adjustments of the company’s businesses, because he intended to move abroad. Three years ago, he had managed to bring Aq

  • Time Brews Longing   Chapter 15 Remembered How Good She Was

    As of late, whenever John remembered Aqua, his heart hurt. He only learned after he went to the hospital that he was suffering from heart palpitations due to mental stress. The best outcome for him at that moment was for Samara and Will to fight against each other until they were both heavily wounded. Then he would swoop in to reap the rewards. After he returned home, he lay in bed but found himself unable to sleep. For some reason, he went to Aqua’s room and slept in her bed. The next day, he received news that Will had been arrested. The company responded quickly and posted an official statement saying that Will had been fired a long time ago, and his actions had nothing to do with the company. But Ivan, Will’s father, kept calling John, so much so that he interrupted his meal time. He asked John to get Will out of jail. “I’m sorry, Ivan, but there’s concrete evidence of Will striking Samara. I can’t get him out.”Will sighed. “John, we’re all smart people here. I can

    But Samara was not going to disappear without a trace, just like that. After all, she had tasted what it felt like to have fame and glory. How could she accept falling from the top of the pyramid again?After she left John’s company, she joined its rival company and became its executive. During a party, in order to take revenge, she cried and publicly said that her ex had cheated on her with some other employee in the company. She also said that her ex was her former superior, Will Lane. She then said that she had not dared to go public because she could not afford to get on Will’s bad side. She also did it because she could tell that Will and John were rivals. Not just that, they were rivals in love. So, she was sure that John would just watch by the side and not do anything about it. He might even push things along. Just as she expected, after news about this spread, Will was described as a piece of trash who went out with two women at the same time. Even Aqua was drag
