Chapter 9
Kendra did not reply to any messiges,
On the wre to the hospital, Frick remembered that the staff from the scende area had contacted him and informed him that Kendra had been taken to the
hospital
He thought that she didn’t have any problems, so he didn’t rush to contact her.
As time passed by, the sky was gradually getting dark. He couldn’t hold back any linger and, taking advantage of Beatrice falling asleep, he went to ask
The nurse
The nurse checked and told him that Kendra had been discharged as soon as she wo
Knowing that she was fine, Erick felt slightly relieved and made a phone call
One after another, with no one answering, he became increasingly anxious in his heart
When feeling annoyed, the butler received a phone call, saying that they had just received a local package and asked if he would sign for it.
Parcel
Erick didn’t remember what he had recently bought and didn’t care about these small matters. He hastily hung up the phone.
He was about to send another message to ask when Beatrice suddenly woke up, shouting that she was hungry and wanted to go eat
He could only temporarily set aside the things at hand and take her out.
Two people went to a restaurant. Until they finished eating, Erick was absent–minded and kept looking at his phone.
Beatrice quickly noticed his abnormal behavior and expressed her concern with a few words
“What happened? Is there something important?
Upon hearing this, Erick posed for a moment and shook his head.
He didn’t want her to perceive that he was worried about not being able to reach Kendra
After experiencing a life and death moment in the morning, Beatrice finally saw Darian’s true colors and broke up with him, even extending an olive
branch to him.
But this time, it was Erick’s turn to hesitate
He used to think that when he caught up with Beatrice, he would be in a state of joy and happiness, as if he had found a treasure, and even shed tears.
But when this moment actually arrived, his mind was in ame
Even the first motion that emerged was not shock, but concern.
He was worried that if he really agreed to Beatrice, it would mean that Kendra would find out everything
He couldn’t imagine what her feelings and expressions would be like after she knew the truth.
Ater all, in the two years they were together, she truly gave her all, truly devoted herself to working for their future.
So he didn’t immediately agree to Beatrice, but said he needed some more time to think about it.
Beatrice also knew that Kendra stood between them, and she didn’t force him, only asking him to handle everything within a wo
After dinner, Erick escorted her home
Along the way, she continued to chatter incessantly, just like she used to in the past.
He
Holdn’t take in a single word, his mind still replaying the events of the day, wondering if Kendra was angry.
Seeing that he didn’t respond, Beatrice got a little angry after the awkward silence and couldn’t help but tug on his ear.
“What are you daydreaming about? Are all you men the same, once you get something, you don’t cherish it anymore? We haven’t even started daring yet, and you’re already not listening to me!”
it fell into Erick’s
Berroquettish complaint tone, when it fell into Erick’s ears, made him feel very uncomfortable.
Because in their more than ten years of being together, she rarely showed such a weak and girlish side in front of him and Beatrice.
As the pursued, she always held the upper hand in the relationship. When faced with his advances, she hardly showed any personal emotions, i
sade lær choices of acceptance or rejection based solely on her momentary whim.
and instead
He got used to her picky and arrogant expressions, got used to the process of preparing surprises with great effort time and time again, only to be pushed
He could no longer put himself in the position of Beatrice’s official boyfriend.
He even felt that he was not like a pursuer, but like a brother, repeatedly accommodating her capriciousness.
And the relentless pursuit of confession over the years was nothing more than a game they enjoyed tirelessly.
When this thought arose, Erick was startled.
He couldn’t help but turn around and glance at Beatrice.
It has been fourteen years since they first met.
She was no longer the young lady who wore princess dresses and knew nothing about the world, carefree and worry–free.
Over the years, she had been in relationships, and had also experienced breakups, with ups and downs in the sea of love. She was very skilled at capturing
men’s hearts.
And he, obviously, was the one she had the most experience in manipulating
After realizing this, Erick couldn’t hold back anymore and asked her a question
“Beatrice, this is not your first time falling in love, nor is it your first time breaking up, but it is the first time you have opened up and said you want to be with me. I wonder, what finally made you see my presence?”
