Being here, both of them would sleep until they were woken up naturally. They would always spend time with each other all day long. Apart from sticking together, they did nothing else.
After, Anna felt that she was about to swell from soaking in the water for too long, she put on a thin sun-protective blouse and shorts over her swimwear and dragged George outside for a stroll on the beach.
The beach was so lively.
There were bands performing soothing and cheery music, but it was not too rowdy.
On a beach that was far away from their villa, there were barbecue parties and some young people playing beach sports.
Because of the distance, they could not hear anything in their villa.
After walking along the beach for a while, she leaned back on a chair to rest and bask in the sunlight.
“What do you want to drink? I will get it for you.” George pointed at the open bar.
“It is too hot. Give me an icy can of beer,&rdq
George was relieved that he was not disliked. Anna went back to packing.After she had packed everything up, the villa looked very empty.She reminisced about the seven carefree days spent at the resort. Every day, there was no need to think. This place was like a place of refuge.During the times when they were at LA, they did not appear to be missing anything. Anna and George were very successful in their respective careers. They had never lost. Neither did they have any competitors.But in reality, their stress levels every day were quite high. It could not be compared to how relaxed they were these last few days.At this place, even emptying their minds was very soothing. Even boredom was a form of bliss.Tomorrow, they would have to leave. Anna suddenly felt that the days had passed too fast.Sitting at the edge of the bed, dazed, she heaved a sigh of relief.The thought of returning home and having to deal with life again
On the next day, they went to the airport. Because they came by way of a private jet, George’s airplane had always been parked there. The luggage had to go through a special passage, and after the security clearance, it was sent directly to their plane. Anna and George cleared customs and saw that there was a bit of time left before take-off. Just resting at the VIP lounge and waiting was meaningless. Coincidentally, there were a number of boutique shops along the way. Anna then pulled George to shop leisurely. Passing a watch shop, they saw a poster hanging outside the shop on which the models were wearing couple watches. Anna grabbed George’s wrist. He was used to wearing a watch. Men’s love for watches was probably similar to women’s love for bags. “Let’s go and take a look inside.” Anna dragged George in. “That watch looks nice, should I give it to you as a wedding gift?” George smiled. He did not know when
Walking with George, Anna frowned and said, “Why was that woman just now behaving so weird?”She turned her head and looked at George’s face, which could attract countless females. “Is it your fault again?”George defended himself. “I don’t even know her!”Christine watched the two of them walk away before dialing Denise’s number.“Yinuo, it’s me.”Denise rolled her eyes but faked her excitement nonetheless. “Christine, have you come back?”“Not yet. I’m still at the airport here.” Christine smiled wickedly. “Guess who I bumped into here?”Denise grew impatient. “There are so many people that you could have met. How am I supposed to know?”Denise’s words did not bring down Christine’s good spirits. “I saw George Wolf.”“What?” Denise was startled. “You saw
Tang Luo sat on the living room sofa, gracefully flipping through the newest issue of a fashion magazine. Her nails were freshly manicured.At home, she was just like a rich Madame.Denise burst through the door, furious.The door crashed opened with a loud bang.She entered the room, angrily kicking her high heels away.Tang Luo frowned. “What is it with you this time?”Denise fumed. “It’s all your fault! You kept telling me to consider things for the long-term, to give the matter further thought, and you did not let me go and find Auntie. And now? George is married!”Tang Luo was surprised. Frowning, she said, “Married… Then you should forget about him, since he’s already married.”“No way!” Denise was fuming with rage. “Did you harbor such thoughts in the beginning? That’s why you kept stopping me from visiting Auntie, is that it?”&l
George and Anna had nothing to do on the plane.Fortunately, the plane had Wi-Fi and they could access the web.Anna browsed the Internet while George played with his phone, his fingers swiping and tapping on the screen.Curious, Anna reached over and saw that George was adding filters to the photos.Anna said, “You know how to do this?”“…” George ruffled her hair in resignation. “Why do you give off the impression that I don’t know how to do anything?”“It’s not that,” Anna explained. “You know plenty. It’s just that in my mind, you know how to deal with the important matters while you seem less knowledgeable about such stuff regarding entertainment.”George frowned slightly, feeling wronged, “I did just learn this.”Inclining his head, he looked at Anna, “Do you feel that I am a boring person, unable to bring you out to hav
A few days after living together after their marriage, they once again found the familiarity they had with each other from their younger days.They had thought they would need time to adapt to each other after a 22-year gap.Unexpectedly, they got used to each other in just a few days, complementing each other in the way they did things.Words need not be said. Just a look would do.They were separated for 22 years, yet they had better chemistry than couples who had lived together for 22 years.Sometimes, Grace felt sad. If they had such good chemistry even after 22 years apart, how would things be if they never split up?And her heart would hurt thinking about their missed 22 years.The good thing was, she knew how to control herself. She constantly reminded herself that at least they’re together now.“When the villa is ready, we’ll move over. It’s spacious with lots of rooms, so it’ll be convenie
With trembling lips and shaking shoulders from crying too hard, Anna nodded slowly, carefully calling, “Dad.”Martin was so moved his eyes became red-rimmed too. “Eh! Good, that’s good my daughter.”Before, she had called Tomas “Dad” because she had to, though she did not even bother to do so eventually.She nearly forgot how to call someone “Dad,” unused to it as she was.Her saying it now came from her heart.Her mouth forming the word was so heartwarming, it enveloped her with love and never went away. She now felt a sense of belonging, like a ship…. no matter where she sailed to, there would always be a safe harbor for her somewhere.Anna was touched and grateful, grateful that Martin was willing to acknowledge her as his child.What love she couldn’t receive from her biological father, she would get it from Martin.“Dad,” Anna called again.
“If it wasn’t for you I would not have reach my current position, I would have the strength, the carefree nature that I have now. because of you am able to fulfill my dream and even form my own company because you give the strength and courage to be strong and do better.” Anna said her voice trembling as re recounted all the event that had happened just like in her past life but this life, she didn’t fall in the trap of the William family but she escaped and even paid them back, just because of her meeting George.He was her lucky star, her friend, lover and husband.Because this had happened before.It was precisely because things had unfolded that way in her previous life that she felt deathly afraid now, thinking back on it.She could not stop herself from trembling in George’s arms.George felt her tremors and hugged her tighter.For some reason, he had a hunch that Anna was really harmed before.&ldq
