Putting the flowers into the bottle, Elijah stood still for a long time. Then, he bowed and said,
"Gracie, happy birthday. I promised you that I will accompany you for a moment no matter how busy I am today! Although you are not here, it still becomes my habit. But in the future, this habit may have to be changed!"
"She doesn't know you, she didn't know my past, and there is no need to know in the future..."
"Today may be the last time I come to see you, but no matter where I am, whether I come or not, sincerely like this bunch of flowers, I will never forget you! There may be a saying that you were right about. This world may not last long. Everyone that we meet in our lives is part of our journey. If we are unwilling to leave, we can only accompany each other. Eventually, we have to separate and learn to adapt, accept and enjoy loneliness!"
"Fortunately, I seem to have met the second woman in my life who I want to be with... Although she may not be perfect enough, maybe she is completely different from you!"
"Life sometimes is really strange, isn't it?"
"I thought that I would never be able to have a heartbeat for a woman, let alone fall in love with such a woman!" Carolien was not like her at all, but—
Maybe he was really old, so his taste had changed!
His churning thoughts flashed quickly, and he couldn't help but reveal a self-deprecating smile.
"Gracie, I hope heaven is treating you well, and my life may start another journey. In the future, I will let this eternal 'Don't forget me' be by your side forever!"
...
On this day, it was hard to describe what his mood was; sad or happy, complicated and indescribable. He remembered a lot of the times with Gracie, and his mind was also clearly thinking about the things about Carolien. Faintly, some unconscious "betrayal" began to linger in his heart.
It was Gracie's birthday. In addition to the habits of many years, he also wanted to say goodbye to the past here. It was not very comfortable for him to change so fast. It seemed that something that he had insisted on for many years suddenly proved to be wrong—a complete mistake. It was a bad feeling to slap himself in the face. At this time, he would think of other women!
The sudden knowledge stirred up a storm in Elijah's heart and turned it into a muddy mess. In the end, he went to many places that he had been to with her. He even climbed up the hill to sweat, but in the end, his heart was still empty!
After collapsing on a stone, Elijah's gaze fell inadvertently, but his eyes met the extremely beautiful clouds in the blue sky. The shapes and thickness of the clouds were perfect. Unconsciously, Elijah's lips parted.
"God's masterpiece! Beautiful clouds, so much like..."
Carolien!
An idea flashed through his mind, and the smile on Elijah's lips instantly froze. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had taken out his mobile phone.
Just now, he wanted to take a picture and send it to her?
What was going on?
The simpler he wanted to keep his mood, the more he missed her!
Taking a deep breath, he put his cell phone back, rested for a while, and then began to go back. When he just walked to the door, he heard a voice in the house, which was mixed with excitement and laughter. He stopped walking. Elijah was obviously puzzled.
This was his private place. How could there be laughter?
Aunt McGowan's family lived in the neighborhood and occasionally took care of things for him. In some free places, they discussed planting vegetables in vegetable fields. On the one hand, it was self-sufficient, on the other hand, he didn't need to specially prepare to buy fresh vegetables when he came here. There were fresh vegetables to eat! There was a vegetable shed here, so flowers and plants grew green almost all year round. His only requirement was that on this day of the first half of the year, his yard could not be bare when he came here.
In one year, he could only come here on two days at most. The days were her birthday and their anniversary. Therefore, he only asked that one day. They could deal with the rest of the plants and vegetables on their own. And he only gave her 10,000 dollars for sanitation and cleaning up. The rest of the money was almost all provided by them. Except for the place, he gave most of it to the family. The main reason was that the house of Aunt McGowan's family was very good for him. And they had a simple intersection before. The whole family was very real, not the kind that would be slick!
He hadn't seen any outsiders for so many years. What was going on that day?
With a frown, Elijah walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the two people enthusiastically surrounding a woman with long hair and light blue jeans. He was obviously in a trance.
At this time, Aunt McGowan let go of Kim Mi-chi's hand and turned her head with a smile and excitement.
"Sir, you're back? Look, she resembles Miss Gracie. She's almost the same, and she's kind-hearted too! Did she feel your care for her and help?"
Kim Mi-chi?
At this time, Elijah suddenly came to his senses and frowned unconsciously. Why did she come here?
