Chapter 18
After graduation, Erick took over the Lynch Group and started from the grassroots level, learning to handle corporate affairs.
He immersed himself in busy work every day and often had to work overtime until dawn at night..
No matter how busy he was, he would always find time to go back to that rented house and stay for a while.
He bought a lot of things and restored the empty room to its original state
From the clothes in the wardrobe, to the vase on the table, and then to the toiletries in the bathroom…
Everything was Kendra’s favorite.
But there was no trace belonging to her.
He carved a boat and sought a sword in this narrow space, waiting for a person who would return at an unknown time.
Time passed quickly, but being in it, I felt that each day was somewhat too long
Five years later, Erick passed the assessment and became the CEO of the Lynch Group.
After the grand inauguration ceremony, he declined the celebration banquet and drove back to his rented house alone.
He bought a lot of roadside barbecue, carried a tew cans of beer, and then went back home, just like in the past.
On the way, I encountered the landlord Tamia and saw her let out a long sigh.
“Erick, it has been five years already and Kendra has never come back. Why do you insist on staying here?”
This sentence struck at the most hidden place in Erick’s heart.
For him, Kendra’s departure sealed away his past as if it never existed.
He rarely showed emotions on his face anymore, as if he were running of
gon a program like a heartless robot.
As he grew older, the Lynch family also started to worry about his marriage and lept introducing him to potential partners.
Whoever it was, he refused, saying that he wanted to focus on his car
Career.
The Lynch family couldn’t do anything about him, they could only advise him while letting him do as he pleased.
No one knew why he was so restrained.
Only he knew, only when Erick returned to this narrow and dilapidated rental house, was he truly Erick
As soon as he pushed open the door, his tense nerves would completely relax, and all the exhaustion in his body would slowly disappear.
Everything in the room was exactly the same as when he left yesterday, and no one had come in
Looking at this spotlessly clean appearance, a faint sense of loss flashed in his eyes.
After putting down what he had in his hands, he took a shower, changed into clean pajamas, and then opened a bottle of beer.
After work, he hadn’t touched alcohol for a long time, so he only took a sip, and his face turned slightly red.
The consecutive overtime work had exhausted him. He fell into a deep sleep on the sola before finishing a bottle of wine.
When I woke up again, it was already dark
The continuous vibration of the phone woke Erick up. He rubbed his tired eyes and waited for a long time before picking up the phone,
The dozens of people who popped up and hundreds of messages that appeared directly stunned him.
He ordered several items and found that everyone had sent the same link.
It is a news article.
With confusion and doubt, Erick clicked on the link.
At first, he was lying on the soda, but he slid towards the middle and suddenly sat up
The “Sparkle” robot, developed by the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Springbell University, landed on Mars aboard the Wonder Spacveralt. Mr. Pratt led the team, accompanied by group members Kendra Galvan and Roland Greer…
Seeing this familiar name, Erick felt a sense of confusion.
He carefully
ly read through all the contents of the report and then, at the bottom, saw a group photo
In the photo, 26–year–old Kendra had cut her hair short, her skin had become much darker, and her eyes were determined and bright, as she smiled
er 18-
pently at the camera.
Until this moment, Erick finally realized.
Kendra was no longer the girl who squeezed into a cheap apartment with him, with only love and marriage in her eyes.
She grew up like a tree, and then, in front of the whole world, spread her wings gracefully.
So dazzling
It was so dazzling
