Chapter 42: His Love Lingers on Me Shortly
She looked down in an instant, feeling ashamed as if being caught in an affair.
She never avoided talking about her last relationship, but when the boss mentioned it, she felt guilty.
"That was a long time ago.’ Amy explained awkwardly.
Paul did not speak.
He withdrew his gaze and quietly stared at the large bowl of Oden in front of him.
The air was heavy and oppressive.
Amy regretted bringing Paul here to eat.
She should have stayed away from Imperial City University.
"Eat, or it will be cold.Would you like more a cup of fried yogurt?"
She wanted to lighten the atmosphere.
Paul just glanced at her.
He picked up a spoon and just ate a piece of meatball, and then put the spoon down.
"Does it taste not good?"
This restaurant was often interviewed and received high remarks.
It was said to be the best Oden cooking in the country.
"Disgusting.Paul leaned back in his chair, a chill lingering around him.”
After hearing that, Amy stopped persuading him to eat.This meal was her treat.She didn't expect things would end up like
this.Now, she had to leave and find another place.She went to the front desk to pay.The boss felt embarrassed and guilty and
didn't dare to look her in the eye.
"No charge.It's on me.I shouldn't have said that.Don't mind.I didn't expect you to really be separated from the boy before.He was
a nice guy.He was good-looking and considerate.I have thought you two would get married."
The boss's voice was very low.
He was afraid that Paul would hear him.
Paul stood in front of the wall of wishes, his mind not on them at all.
Amy was calm.
"I'm married.The man who came here with me today is my husband."
The boss was surprised and shook his head with a sigh.
"What a pity! I was very optimistic about the relationship between you and that boy before." Amy smiled.
Now she thought about it and felt those days seemed to be the days long ago.
It was as if they had happened in the last century.
The boss insisted on not charging her money, so Amy gave up and went to Paul's side.
Paul's gazes were fixed on a place where two wish slips were pasted together with a small red heart.
"I love you, from here to the moon, and then back." It was written by Carlos.
The handwriting was gentle and upright.
It could judge that the writer must be a very warm person.
There was a slip next to it.
The two slips snuggled together as if a couple.
"Angie always waits for Carlos to come back."
It was written by Amy.
It was as beautiful as Amy's handwriting he had seen before.
But somehow, he felt that his eyes were pricked.
Perhaps the light in the store was too bright, so his eyes were uncomfortable.
As soon as Amy came over, she saw these two wish slips.
Her legs froze and her mind buzzed.
She didn't know what to say for a moment, as if unable to speak.
She slightly opened her mouth.
But she stopped where she was.
The light in her eyes gradually dimmed.
How could she forget this? Just seeing it, a sharp pain came from her heart.
"Angie always waits for Carlos to come back.’
At that time, her online name was Angie, which had not changed for many years.
Meeting Carlos was the most regretful accident in her life.
But in front of her current husband, it was like a joke, a stupid joke.
Hiss.
She watched Paul take down the two slips and examine them carefully.
It was along time before Paul spoke.
"Did he love you very much?"
This slip seemed to hold all the thoughts of the boy.
Every stroke seemed to contain that boy's miss.
Love? The corners of Amy's mouth curled up.
"Maybe, but his love will never last long.’
"Looks like you've been dumped.’ Paul threw the two slips into the trash can without hesitation.There was gloom in his eyes.
"Sort of"
Amy didn't want to explain.
She hated some who come uninvited and leave without saying goodbye the most.
And the boy knew that, but he still chose to leave in the way she hated the most.
Paul turned around.
What he didn't ask was "Did you also love that boy very much at that time."
He could feel Amy's great gentleness in the words "Angie always waits for Carlos to come back."
He remembered the night when Amy kissed him for the first time.
She seemed to regard him as another man.
She had said that she went out to look for the boy in the heavy rain, and she had said she had been waiting for the boy.
What kind of man could make Amy give up her dignity and go out in the rain to look for him? Paul immediately had no intention
of staying here.
He didn't want to accompany this woman and see her think of her past.
He walked out and Amy followed him step by step.
After getting in the car, Paul put his hands on the steering wheel and looked at the neon lights not far away.
His thoughts drifted away.
Since they were so in love, why did they break up? Amy must be very paranoid about a love relationship.
She would dedicate all herself to love and would never give up the relationship even she was exhausted.So why would she be
willing to marry Paul in the end?
"Why did you two break up?"
He turned to look at her and finally asked the question.
Amy's heart aced and her face turned a little pale.
"He is from a very good family.But I'm a girl growing up in the countryside.His mother said to me that her son is the bright moon
in the sky and I'm the mire in the ground.His mother said to me that, at any cost, I can never reach him.After a period of
resistance, he finally followed the arrangements of his family and went abroad with another girl.Ona rainy night, I went out to Icok
for him and begged his mother to let me see him.But his mother told me that he had already boarded the plane and didn't even
leave a word for me.He once was the bright light in my eyes, but from that day on, he suddenly dimmed and he became nothing
but a speck of dust in the universe for me."
"It's kind of cliche."
Paul's eyes were filled with disdain, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
Amy was speechless.
She opened her heart to this man and told him everything about the past.And he actually responded like this?
"Honey, you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth.Naturally, you don't understand how difficult it is to cross the social
hierarchy.If you were born in a humble family and met a "bright moon’, you would also want to try your best to reach her.You and
I are the same people who are willing to sacrifice anything for the important things in their hearts."
Paul stepped on the accelerator and his eyes became cold and sharp.
"I won't try to reach the 'moon"" His answer was vague.
He turned to look at Amy with a trace of determination in his eyes.
"I will let the "moon" come to me."
Amy's heart thumped violently.
She turned to look at him in surprise and noticed the light in his eyes.
The corners of her mouth moved up and she began to chuckle with her chest tremble.
"My husband is indeed the president of the Grand Group.In my heart, you are close to god and you are completely
reasonable.Feelings stuff will only delay you ‘’
It was a little inappropriate talk about feelings with Paul.
She could not imagine that Paul would fall in love with a woman.
The first time Amy saw Paul, she felt that there was no secular thing in his body.He was so indifferent to everything.
