Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Brave Jump to My Crush: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

19A few months later, it was my grandma's birthday. I went back to my hometown.Richard's family had also come to the party."Whitney, I haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you so much. Why didn't you come to our home and play?"When Liliana saw me, she hugged me excitedly."I've been busy recently. I'll go when I'm free." As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Richard standing behind Liliana.I froze on the spot.Come to think of it, I hadn't seen Richard for almost eight or nine months.Richard was wearing a black T-shirt, and he had a buzz cut. He seemed to have matured a lot."Long time no see," he greeted me with a smile.This was the same as the dream last time."Are you all right?""Are you all right?"We spoke at the same time, and the atmosphere became awkward."Richard," my mother said, popping up enthusiastically."Roselyn..." When Richard greeted my mother, his smile was obviously much more relaxed."Good boy, why didn't you bring your girlfriend?"R

Author: Xian De Wu Liao De Xian Nü My boss, Andrew Yakley, and I secretly married."Paulene Jones, why did your lipstick rub off when all I asked you to do was send Mr. Yakley a document? Are you secretly eating snacks again? If you don't want to work anymore, just say so!"My team leader, Lucas Zimmer, scolded me once again.Just as I was stammering and unsure of how to explain myself, Andrew suddenly appeared at the door and tossed a casual glance at Lucas. "I'm the one who rubbed it off. Do you have a problem with that?"1I'd had a crush on Andrew for a long time.I attended his high school and university, and I pursued him throughout the entire country until my shoes were worn out, yet I still couldn't get to him. Hence, I gave up and returned to my hometown.However, he unexpectedly became the boss of our company.I secretly thought this was my chance, but he already had a four-year-old child."The new boss is so handsome!""I wish I could work overtime with such a go

10The next day, the torment was too much for me, and I wanted to ask him what he meant last night, but he had gone on another business trip.I had to go to work with dark circles under my eyes.Lucas brought me a pile of documents and asked me to sort them out before I got off work.I was sitting in front of the computer, typing and sorting things out. I was so busy that I didn't have time for lunch.I had to pick up Kayven after I got off work, and I was so hungry that I bought a piece of bread on the street and wolfed it down.Despite my haste, I was already ten minutes late when I picked up Kayven. I went to the toy shop we passed by and bought him several toys to make it up to him.Kayven stood at the school gate with a gloomy face when I arrived. I led him to the car, handed him the toys, and coaxed him.However, Andrew called. "Have you picked him up?""Yeah.""I'll be back in two days." He hesitated. "Do you have any bags that you'd like?"Bag? I was puzzled for a mo

17The next day at work, I wasn't in the mood to work because I had something on my mind.I started to waver again after I recalled what Andrew said and did last night.I supposed it was normal for a crush to work out like this, even though I was determined to say goodbye. I had promised not to like him for the rest of my life, but he was a little gentle to me and said something that caused me to misunderstand him, and my thoughts started to run wild again.I remembered the willow tattoo on my back and that young man again.That was when I was in elementary school. One day after school, I went to the poker center to find my mom.My mother didn't want to leave until it was very late, so I had to go home by myself with the keys.However, one of her poker friends followed me into the alley.The man wanted to touch me. I was so frightened that I bit him and ran away.I shouted when a group of students passed by the alley.Only one person came to a halt. I rushed over and threw my

23However, I saw tears roll down her hollow eyes.I was shocked.I hastily apologized after a split second, "I'm sorry. It wasn't intentional.""It's okay. That's all in the past." She sighed, wiped away her tears, and comforted me with a smile.I blamed myself even more."He went out to play with Andrew in America and was involved in a car accident. Andrew jumped out of the vehicle before it fell off the cliff, but he didn't have enough time, so..." She started sobbing again."I'm sorry." I didn't know how to comfort the old lady, so I reached out and held her shoulder."It's truly okay. I'm okay. Look at this old woman. I seemed to have scared you." Queenie continued after she had calmed down, "Andrew has always blamed himself, believing that he murdered my son. To compensate us, he insisted on returning from America to work here. My son's girlfriend was pregnant at the time, and she ultimately decided she didn't want the child. It was Andrew who asked her to give birth to h
