Chapter 5

The luxury supercar stopped in front of Sweet Pea's apartment door.

Brene's assistant wanted to go down and open the car door for him, but he waved his hand to say no.

He calmly walked down, as if to his home, a familiar place.

Long slender fingers reached out to ring the doorbell.

Once, then two or three times.

Five minutes, then twenty, thirty minutes, still no movement inside.

Impatience and impatience began to creep into him.

He was about to reach out and press the doorbell one more time, when someone came out from the apartment next door.

A woman, middle aged.

She asked him.

- Boy, who do you want to find?

Fortunately, his language skills are very good, what she said, he understood.

He answered meekly.

- I want to find the girl in this house.

- Do you know her?

- What are you to her?

Of course she knows.

Sweet Pea's temperament is so good, surely the relationship with the neighbors is also good.

But she couldn't say it without reason to an unknown person.

As for you, if you want to ask for information about a person, you have to make the other person believe you first.

But if you want to believe, you have to be a very close person.

His face is not red, his heart is not beating fast, his eyes are not blinking, but he tells a blatant lie.

- I'm her boyfriend!

"Oh." The neighbor seemed to understand something.

But certainly not what Brene Brian had in mind.

- In the morning, I met her with her luggage to leave. Seems very urgent. It seems to say to return home.

- Thank you.

Frustrated, he returned to his car, signaling his assistant to drive away.

Why were you disappointed when you didn't meet her? Probably just because he didn't want to owe anyone before.

I just want to pay off the debt once.

Surely it is, he reassured himself.

But that's okay, she returned to her hometown, definitely returned to country S, anyway, after finishing work here, he will return in a few days.

If you are lucky, you will definitely meet again.

It took six hours by plane, when Sweet Pea landed at the airport of city M, country S, it was nine o'clock in the morning.

The person who came to pick her up was her best friend Maria Linda.

As soon as she saw her shadow, Sweet Pea hurriedly asked.

- What's going on in the end, Linda?

- Don't ask more questions, get in the car, you'll understand when you return to Gunn's house.

But I advise you to stay calm, because perhaps, what is to come, will be more shocking than you think.

The car slowly rolled away from the airport, took Sweet Pea with a troubled heart and a confused mood and left.

The whole process and the way, she couldn't think of anything else.

Her heart is burning like fire.

How serious is it all?

The car was parked in front of the Gunn family's mansion.

A bleak white immediately caught Sweet Pea's eyes.

 

For a moment, she felt her heart forgot to beat, her breathing stopped.

Thousands of questions popped up in her head.

"What's going on? What's the matter? Who is it?"

Then reassure yourself.

"Probably not, it's okay, I just saw it wrong."

Seeing her friend so dazed and motionless, Maria Linda called out.

- Pea, are you okay? Are you okay?

Maria Linda's call seemed to wake Sweet Pea back to reality.

Taking a few long breaths, she calmed herself before answering.

- I'm okay? Don't worry.

That was okay just for her to hide her extreme bewilderment with Maria Linda.

She nervously opened the car door and walked slowly into the house.

The closer she got, the heavier her footsteps felt.

With her best friend's situation like this, surely Maria Linda would not leave her alone.

She is always behind her.

Entering the living room, Sweet Pea froze on the spot, unable to walk any further.

The once magnificent and lavish living room is now being turned into a funeral parlor.

And the two pictures that were placed there couldn't be more familiar, because those were her parents.

The scene was painful and solemn as if broken by her appearance.

All eyes turned to her.

Her uncle, Gunn Reo, saw the shadow and walked right towards her.

- Pea, why are you back?

She didn't look at him, but tears fell again.

All the focus in the eyes was focused on the two coffins lying over there.

Not one, but two, tell her if it hurts.

She all replied to him.

- You asked why I came back? I'm the one asking why didn't you call me?

He gently patted his niece's shoulder.

- It was because I was afraid that you would be too hurt and could not stand it that I did not call you.

She muttered to herself.

"Excessive heartbreak? No electricity? Is it heartbreaking?"

Then answer your own question.

"No, she didn't feel any pain."

If anyone was in her situation now, they would know.

When the pain is too much to bear, the nerve cells will fall into a state of paralysis, themselves will no longer feel anything, let alone pain.

Should it be said that it hurts to be heartless or not?

She took small, heavy steps towards the two pictures.

Strange, she didn't feel pain, why did the tears keep falling like that.

Long slender fingers gently glide over the face in the two pictures.

Her parents still had that kind smile on their faces.

The smile that she dreamed also made her sob with happiness.

But now it has become an obsession.

She was like a lost soul, sitting down next to the coffin.

It was only after a long time that he was able to speak out in a whisper.

- Unfilial daughter, even the last time I did not see my parents, I was unfilial.

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, her senses seemed to be opened, she burst into tears.
