Lucas squatted in front of him and nodded hard. "Uncle Myles, I’ll remember this!"Myles smiled and patted his head. "We'll be rooting for you here in Harbor City! Go and chase your dreams!"Lucas touched Myles' hand.Although Myles was a paraplegic patient, he was great-hearted. No matter which of the three children encountered difficulties, Myles can help them see a new perspective through a mere few sentences.A disabled body was not terrible, for his wise mind and open-minded attitude was his true treasures. Even if he could not physically help them, the spiritual guidance and support he gives them made him indispensable in their lives."Lucas, when are you leaving? We will see you off then," Sonnet asked."Leaving on Monday."Lindy was a little bit reluctant. "In such a hurry?""Yeah, the company has been urging me. I requested an extension until Monday.""How strange, why do I feel that your company wants to keep you far away?" Lindy tilted her head and said.Sonnet pat
He narrowed his eyes. "Who texted you?""It's my papa, Uncle Johnson!" Lune exclaimed. "My papa sends a text message to my mom every night."Jaybie gave her a side-eye. Lune felt it and quickly covered her mouth.Maxwell turned sour. He looked at Sonnet and said, "I see that you have a pretty good relationship with the kids’ godfather!"He silently cursed, ‘That damned *sshole has gone to Germany, yet he still pesters my dear wife. How abominable!’Sonnet put the phone away and replied lightly. "Yes, but that’s none of your business, right, Mr. Yates?"Maxwell was devastated, and he looked terrible.Sonnet added, "Mr. Yates, I think it's inappropriate for you to look at my phone while you stand quietly behind me. I hope you don't do that next time. It's rude to spy on other people's privacy.""I'm not spying. Your posture was so obvious like you were trying to show off!" Maxwell said angrily.Ever since Lucas appeared, his dear wife has been treating him differently. How inf
‘Phew, that was close! I almost spilled the beans! I can't reveal my identity now!’"My what?" Sonnet said coldly, "Mr. Yates, even if you are my neighbor or my boss, you have no right to interfere in my life! I can chat with or date whoever I choose. Why do you care?""I wouldn’t care if he's a good man, but he's not a good man!" Maxwell's anger, which had just calmed down, was instantly ignited by Sonnet's retort."How is he not a good person? He’s my childhood friend, and I know him very well!" Sonnet was also angry."You know him well just because he’s your childhood friend? Lindy is also your childhood friend too, and she’s in love with Lucas. Do you know that?!"Maxwell regretted it as soon as he said it.Sonnet was stunned too. She was in a daze and stared at Maxwell.After a while, she squinted her eyes and asked Maxwell, "How do you know that Lindy’s in love with Lucas? You’re not close to Lindy. How do you know so much?"Maxwell panicked. He made a slip of the tongu
Half an hour later, Sonnet and Marcus sat face-to-face in the cafe."Mr. Pine, the reason I called tonight is to ask you about the time you pretended to be Lindy's boyfriend to meet Lucas. Do you know why she asked you to do that?" Sonnet went straight to the point.Marcus looked at her for a few seconds and sighed softly. "You’re a smart person, so I won't hide it from you. Lindy asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend so she could give up on Lucas. She did that because she knows that the person Lucas loves is you."You used to have a husband, but you’re single now. Lucas can pursue you openly, so she willingly gave you both her blessing."Sonnet was silent.‘Gave us her blessing…’She knew that Lindy had known about Lucas' feelings for her a long time ago. Lindy loved Lucas. Yet, she silently endured it and watched the man she loved love someone else! ‘How long has she been enduring this emotional torture?‘At this point, she still wants to bless us both?!’Sonnet’s heart a
Her face was exhausted. There was morning mist all over her hair. It seemed that she had been guarding outside all night."Your hair is wet. Come in and take a shower. I'll make you some ginger tea." Sonnet pulled Lindy into the room."I'm fine. I just came to check in and see what's wrong with you," Lindy said.Sonnet was taken aback. "I'm totally fine.""Why is your phone turned off?""Girl, I was sleeping."Lindy sighed. "Lucas couldn't get through to you, so he called me as soon as I turned on my phone. He was so anxious. He insisted I should come and see you."Sonnet sighed too. "Did he tell you about the email I sent him?""What's the matter with you? Why did you suddenly break the pact?" Lindy asked.Sonnet looked at her. "After much deliberation, I don’t think it’s good to make a three-year pact with him. It's not good for him or me."Sonnet also wanted to say, ‘It’s not good for you either,’ but she stopped herself."Lucas was so happy then, but you suddenly said th
Sonnet faltered.Lindy waved. "Alright, go home. I'm so sleepy. I have to go to bed."Sonnet did not want to overstay her welcome. She bid goodbye and went home.Lindy entered her room and collapsed on her bed but could not fall asleep.She had just gone through a night of squatting outside to take pictures for her job. When she finally turned on her phone, she received a call from Lucas.Lucas’ voice quivered over the phone. His voice was weary and brittle. "Lindy, please help me. Go check on Sonnet..."Lindy’s heart hurt terribly as if a wound that was about to scab had been ripped apart again.She ran home in a hurry, only to find that Sonnet already knew what she had been hiding deeply for so many years. At that moment, she could not be any more embarrassed as she had hit rock bottom!She knew that Sonnet did all this for her. Yet that was precisely why she was even more embarrassed.Unable to control her repressed emotions for so many years, she buried her head in the qui
She stood there for quite a while. Then, she put down the food and called Sonnet...Sonnet received the call on her way to the special education school. She immediately took a two-hour break and then rushed home within half an hour.Sophia opened the door for her and asked cautiously, "Do you know what happened to her? Is it matters of the heart?"Sonnet was afraid to make her worry, so she smiled. "Aunt York, it must be some setbacks at work. Don't worry. Go to my house and hang out with my dad. I'll talk to her here."Sophia did not ask any more questions and left obediently.Sonnet knocked on Lindy's door. "Lindy, it's me. Can we talk?"It was quiet inside, so Sonnet waited. After about ten minutes, Lindy opened the door.Her eyes were red, obviously from crying."Lindy, it's my fault that you’re sad. Just yell at me if you’re upset!" Sonnet hugged Lindy.Lindy hugged her and burst into tears. Sonnet shed tears too.The two cried like this for a while before Lindy finally
"How could I be angry? I’m the one in the wrong. I shouldn’t have vented all my frustrations on you. I'm so sorry!" Lindy admitted her mistake frankly.Marcus' heart softened.‘This is the Lindy I love. Bright, upright, open, and generous.’"Well, can I make it up to you if I treat you to dinner?" Lindy became anxious as Marcus was keeping silent.Marcus pursed his lips, pretending to be stern. "Let me think about it.""Oh come on, don’t think about it and just forgive me, please?" Lindy’s tone was flattering."When?""Why don’t you tell me when you’re free?" Lindy’s posture was more humble and lower than usual."Tonight, then."After being yelled at by Lindy that morning, he was so worried that he wanted to run to her right away. However, he could not leave because of a court meeting in the afternoon. Thus, he went to work while enduring the worries in his heart.Unexpectedly, it was Lindy who called to apologize, which was a joyful surprise.He had already wanted to see he
