Chapter 31: Dream Lover
Only a few days left until New Year's Eve. These days, the market is more crowded than usual and the streets are also busier. I like the atmosphere before the new year, it seems that this season of love also affects people's mood, everyone has a smile on their lips, very happy. And even if they collided with each other, they would laugh and ask questions, ignore it, but unlike usual, one would curse the other, scream, ask for compensation... Today is the last Sunday of the old year, so it took me almost an hour to walk out of the market with a basket full of food. Every day, it only takes me about half an hour. This year, just like two years ago, I will celebrate the new year alone because Mrs. Alina and Brian will fly to the US to celebrate the new year with his grandfather, Harold, and Harold's mother. The president of Hana Corporation has two sons, both of them died on a fateful flight nearly ten years ago. He tried to suppress the pain, alone to handle the business activitie

Chapter 32: That Spring I Had You
When the clock struck six o'clock in the evening, Brian took Mrs. Alina to the airport. Before leaving, she did not forget to give me a thick red envelope. Even though I am an adult, when I receive lucky money, I am as happy as a child. Watching the car disappear at the end of the road, I no longer feel sad because I know this spring I have him, I am not alone. For several hours I sat on the doorstep, looking out at the gate and waiting for him. And as soon as I heard him ring the bell, I immediately ran out, frantically putting the key in the lock. I thought I was the only one in a hurry, but this man was even more urgent, he stopped the car as soon as he drove into the gate and told me to lock the gate and get in the car. “What are you laughing at?” Brian narrowed his eyes and looked at me and asked. “The distance from the gate to the garage is very short, why did you tell me to get in the car?” “I like that.” This guy is too unruly, as long as it's what he likes, he'll do i

Chapter 33: A Prayer For Love
The year-end party started at six o'clock in the evening, then at half past seven, Brian's car arrived at the villa. When I opened the gate, I saw that there was another person in his car, that is the assistant who often turns into a driver when Brian has too much to drink. However, when I sent the assistant to the gate to catch a taxi, I went back in and saw that my beloved was not so drunk that he could not walk. He seems to be still very awake, his face is a bit red, one foot kicks the other, and his posture leans forward for a few seconds and then back again after a few seconds. He still had a loving smile on his face for me. “I thought you were drunk, so you asked your assistant to take you home.” “Not very drunk, but I am afraid that I will die soon and leave you. I am afraid that you will follow someone else.” I don't know if I should believe what the drunk said, but honestly, these words of his make me very happy. But talking about death is not good at all. I put my fin

Chapter 34: New Year's Eve
Finally, the last night of the old year has come. Although Brian did not go to the US and just stayed at home with me, he gave a false notice that he was traveling far away to avoid anyone coming to visit. All day yesterday until this afternoon, I was the one who went to the gate to receive gifts from his large and small partners and friends, while he hid in the room, playing the role of the absentee. “Bella, come over here.” He called out when I just walked into the living room. I obeyed him, rushed over and I realized he was talking to Mrs. Alina. I can see the New Year's atmosphere is also filling the space there, there are yellow chrysanthemums, apricot blossoms, and watermelons. “Hi, ma'am.” I raised my hand and waved. “Yeah. I called to say happy new year because the whole family is going to see the fireworks soon. Happy New Year, Bella.” Mrs. Alina said eagerly. Southern California has spectacular New Year's Eve activities, with flower streets and fireworks too. Two years

Chapter 35: Secrets Are No Longer Secrets
Eight days later, the plane carrying Mrs. Alina and Hellen also landed at the airport. Sunshine Bank, like many other banks, opens on Thursday, and Brian has also returned to work, so the person who brought his mother home was her personal assistant. Like many other long trips, she still remembers to buy me gifts. However, this time the gift was quite valuable, it was a gold necklace with a pendant in the shape of a ginkgo leaf. “This is too expensive.” I looked at her as the jewelry box was opened. “This is my last gift to you.” She reached out her hand and pushed it toward me and said sternly. Last gift? My instincts told me the bad meaning behind that statement. However, I could not understand what she wanted to say next. What did I do to make her unhappy? “Bella, I brought you here because I needed a maid, not because I wanted to give my son to you. Do you understand?” My head was buzzing like an airplane engine flew by, and my eyes darkened because I couldn't believe that

Chapter 36: The Tragedy
When the clock struck five o'clock in the morning, it was also time for us to get in the car and set off toward the coastal city. I sat in the back seat with Mrs. Alina and didn't dare look up at the driver's seat because I was afraid that I would cry. The closer the moment of parting came, the more I could not control my emotions. Near six o'clock in the morning, the car arrived in the coastal city because Brian drove the car on the highway. I glanced at the empty streets and felt strange even though I had been here twice before. Maybe because it wasn't yet morning, my eyes couldn't see clearly. I don't know why I suddenly felt insecure and I felt like my intestines were burning hot. If my parents were still alive, I would have thought that something bad had happened to them. I was about to tell Brian to slow down when suddenly a truck coming from the opposite direction appeared in front of us and was rushing at us at an amazing speed. I just had time to see lights flash, hear

Chapter 37: Letting go of his hand - 1
Because I wanted the nurse not to worry about me and leave, I obediently closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep. After ten minutes, she also left the room. When I was sure she had gone quite far, I crawled out of bed, clinging to the furniture and then clinging to the wall to get out of the room. My leg was injured so I couldn't move quickly, I struggled a lot, but I could only walk a short distance. When I saw a girl asking the doctor where the emergency room was, I hurriedly listened and continued to move little by little. “Miss Hellen, Miss Hellen...” I called out when I saw Hellen running after the white stretcher being pushed very quickly by two female nurses. Intuition told me that the person lying on it was Brian. Fortunately, Hellen didn't ignore me but stopped. I recognized the resentment in her blue eyes. That's right, no one is friendly with a rival. “Miss Hellen, how is Brian? He'll be fine, right?” I approached her and asked. “Do you think he can be okay? He wil

Chapter 38: Letting go of his hand - 2
I trembled and touched Brian's hand. I couldn't feel anything at all because the thick bandages separated us. I would love to stay to take care of him until the day he recovers, but that is only a wish. The promise between the two of us had to be canceled. I couldn't fulfill the wish he wished when the shooting star passed through the sky that night. “Brian, please recover quickly. Please try up. You will definitely be fine. I believe you can do that.” My tears have almost dried up, right now, even though emotions welled up in me, I didn't shed a single tear, only the writhing pain in my heart, in every cell, is endless. I hope that when he wakes up, he will quickly forget me, forget the person who caused him a lot of pain. How many times he confessed his love was rejected by me, so many times he gnawed on resentment and frustration. I should also let go of his hand, if I persist in holding on to him, neither of us will be happy. There are promises that should be forgotten. If

Chapter 39: In times of trouble, I see good people
More than half an hour later, Richard returned with a lot of food in his hand. He carefully poured the noodle soup into a bowl and fed it to me. I eat very naturally, without hesitation, and shyly. Perhaps because my sleazy and pathetic appearance had already been exposed in front of him, my shy nerves no longer reacted to him. “Is it delicious?” He asked softly. I didn't answer, just nodded. Seeing that the screen of the phone he left on the table lit up, I quickly raised my hand to signal him to answer the phone because I was busy chewing. Richard is very polite, he set the vibration mode, not letting the bell ring. “I'm listening.” Richard held the phone in one hand, while the other continued to pick up the lean meat and bring it to my mouth. The distance between us is quite close so I can hear the female voice on the other side of the phone talking about the documents and contracts that need to be reviewed by him before sending them to the partner. “Okay. Email me, I'll ch

Chapter 40: The Warm Man
Caily and I ate all the fried fish balls, and mixed rice paper, and chatted for about an hour before Richard appeared. He is very handsome in a white T-shirt and black trousers, in his hand he carries a briefcase used to hold a computer and a document bag. His hair seemed to be still wet. Looks like he just dried his hair in a hurry and drove here. “Well, I'll go home, and give you back to Richard.” Caily pinched my cheek lightly and stood up. “Thank you, Caily. My assistant is parking in front of the gate, he will take you home.” Richard smiled and spoke softly. “Why do you have to thank me? Bella is my friend. Okay, I'll go home, tomorrow night I'll go to the hospital again.” Caily playfully waved at Richard, then turned to wink at me, then walked away. I admire Caily very much. She is an orphan, living with her aunt and uncle, but she has a very lively, cheerful personality, not sad like many other people in the same situation. Her willpower is far superior to mine. “Do yo
