“Sorry, but we don’t hire women over 30 here.” The cafe manager told Caroline impatiently as he showed her out. As Caroline walked away wearily, she could hear the manager mumbling under his breath “who in this vicinity would want to patronize my business if I hire an ugly and old waitress?” Caroline was unhappy to hear that and frowned slightly. She turned around to tell the manager that he was wrong and she was only 25! However, as she did that, she saw her reflection in the window beside her. Her face indeed looked like that of an old woman. It had lost its youthfulness and her face was wrinkled.Scrawny frame, dry hair, out of style clothes and her eyes that have lost their twinkle had added at least 10 years to her appearance. She realized that she indeed looked like a woman in her 40’s even though she was really only 25.Caroline sighed and smiled bitterly as she thought of the misfortunes from the past few years. As she walked dejectedly away from the spot, she heard the soun

It came as a surprise to Andrew for his son to reveal that he didn’t like his fiancé. “Dad, she’s just nice to me because I’m your son. I’m just a tool for her to get to you.”Andrew’s face dropped. “Raymond, that’s not a nice thing to say.” “The truth never sounds pleasant to the ears!” Raymond said with wisdom far greater than his years, “why do you even care? You’ve never asked for my opinion about who you should marry anyway. To you, I’m just the extra baggage.” Raymond hopped off the counter and ran off in an angry fit. “Stand right there!” Andrew ordered sternly, “Raymond, who taught you to speak to your own father like this? Where are your manners?”Raymond was already upset, being lectured like this by his father only made him more sullen.He turned around obstinately, his eyes swirling with unhappiness and dissatisfaction. “Nobody taught me, I have no mother to teach me, do I?” Andrew was stunned…. When he came to his senses, Raymond was already gone.Andrew ran out to cha

Caroline stopped in front of an old but sturdy wooden door and knocked lightly. The door opened slightly to reveal a lanky young man. He asked, perplexed, “ Sis, what happened to you? Why are you wounded all over?” Caroline replied calmly, “it’s nothing serious. I just got into a little car accident.” “Caroline, is that you? How serious was the accident, did you go to the hospital, which part of your body was injured?” John, with a head of gray hair, quickly came over to fuss over Caroline before adding, “Are you still in pain? Who is the driver that hit you?” “Sis, are you badly injured? Do you need any help?” Taking in her uncle and cousin’s anxious and caring questions, Caroline’s heart was immediately flooded with warmth. Enveloped in the room’s yellow light, Caroline appeared much paler. “It was only a minor accident. Even the doctor said it’s nothing serious. I’ll be okay after a few days of rest.” She didn’t want to show more than that lest it worried her uncle, “Uncle,

Andrew said in a low rumble, “Either way, Caroline is still Raymond’s mother. Yes, we are no longer legally married, but we can’t just close our eyes to her suffering.”Old Mrs Pierce frowned slightly as she retorted, “It’s the woman’s decision to slap our helping hand away. You, yourself, are familiar with her weird and stubborn attitude. It has been nothing but trouble since she came into the Pierce Family. She’s unwilling to own up to her mistakes and refuses to communicate with the rest of the family, causing all of us to walk on eggshells around the house. I did the best I could by offering her help once but she refused it. We’re not running a charity here, I’m not going to beg her to accept our help.” “Regardless, you should have at least told me….”“Andrew, your marriage to her was from the beginning a huge mistake. Your father was obviously not thinking straight when he allowed that woman to marry intonour family. I know it couldn’t have been easy for you living with that hor

She stared at the screen as her fingers slowly warmed to the sensations that she was once familiar with. Caroline’s thoughts wavered as she stared at the codes that appeared on the screen. It had been years since she worked with these 0’s and 1’s. She had forgotten the knowledge that was once imprinted in her mind. There was still a barrier that stood between her and these piles of codes even though she should have recovered her memory.It felt surreal even after she finished writing a line of code. She couldn’t help but wonder if the code she wrote was nothing more than a line of nonsense. However, her fingers continued working as if they were moving on their own, surviving on motor memory that was seared into her brain. Things became clearer as more completed code began to appear on the screen. Her confidence grew as time went on until her fingers were dancing swiftly over the keyboard. Caroline was lost in the moment.Cole was curious about what his sister was doing. He pulled his
