Whispers Across the Moon 8
Trevis continued to pick me up from school every day, but he would take a detour through the alley, avoiding waiting for me at the school gate. I understood his reluctance to face his former teachers because he always felt like he had let them down.On this particular day, one of our teachers was absent, and there was no one supervising the last lesson. Even though it was still early before dismissal, my classmates began to get restless. I didn't know who started it, but in an instant, everyone had left.As I watched the sun begin to set, a sudden idea struck me: Trevis always comes to pick me up after school, why couldn't I do the same for him when he finishes work?Filled with anticipation, I packed my belongings, but before I could leave, I noticed my desk-mate, Linda Pasfield, diligently working on her homework.She was my closest friend at school.I asked her, "Aren't you going home?"The Pasfield family was wealthy. I saw her chauffeur waiting at the school gate for her

I discreetly made my way to Trevis's workplace, a high-end restaurant. Through the window, I spotted Trevis in his formal attire, stationed at the entrance, warmly welcoming guests. My outstanding Trevis, excelling even as a waiter, and within three years, he had been promoted to a manager by the restaurant's owner.Just as I was about to step inside, a customer by the window suddenly stood up, his voice raised in anger. "This place is absolutely filthy! We found a condom in our hotpot!" He lifted a small, thin pouch with his chopsticks.Trevis' expression changed, and he quickly approached to assess the situation. My heart tightened with worry.After observing for a few moments, Trevis regained his composure and flashed a polite smile. "Sir, I can assure you that this item was not placed by our restaurant."The bearded customer responded with irritation, "Are you suggesting that I put it there myself?"Trevis responded calmly, saying, "Based on the laws of physics, it's impossibl

I helped Trevis back home and then fetched the first aid kit, carefully tending to his injuries. He noticed my worried expression and let out a small smile.I pretended to be angry and said, "Are you really that happy, Trevis?"He replied, "Kathryn, the fact that you care about me makes me happy."After applying the medication, I realized he had already dozed off, leaning against the couch. As I bent down and observed his tired look, with dark circles under his eyes, I couldn't help but feel sad.My dear Trevis, the journey he’s been through hasn't been easy at all. In the beginning, he was washing dishes in the kitchen, and his hands were so chapped that the skin was about to fall off.Later, he was transferred to the front desk to greet customers, but because he was stubborn and refused to back down, he almost lost his job.But eventually, he learned the ways of the world, climbed the ladder of success step by step, and always showed your true self to me. Only in my presenc

Even though my brain was telling me how despicable this behavior was, I couldn't control my fingers as they scrolled on the screen.Aside from the time Lucy intruded into our home, three years had passed since I last saw her. However, as I went through her chat history with Trevis, I was genuinely shocked.The records dated back three years.Lucy began reasonably, asking questions and engaging in everyday conversations. But as time went on, she gradually revealed her true colors.At times, she begged Trevis to be with her, and at other times, she hysterically questioned why Trevis didn't like her.Her words were tinged with something abnormal.Trevis rarely responded.He simply said, "Lucy, please leave me alone."Lucy quickly sent a picture, showing a knife pressed against her right wrist."If you block me again, I'll slit it," she threatened. "I've already slit my left hand for you."Trevis remained silent.The chat history was filled with Lucy's incessant chatter. Trevis

For the next few days, I continued developing this story in my notebook. Witnessing them gradually taking shape filled me with an indescribable sense of accomplishment.Even though Trevis had a job and our family's financial situation had significantly improved, I still felt bad that Trevis had to work hard to make money, so I took a part-time job at a nearby bubble tea shop during the holidays.One day, a familiar customer came into the shop.I took one look at him and my heart skipped a beat.It was the big bearded man who had caused trouble at Trevis's restaurant that day.Because of him, Trevis's injuries had not healed yet.At the thought of this, I clenched my fists in anger. I specifically swapped places with my colleague and took the order for his bubble tea.I snuck into the back kitchen, cursed at the bubble tea for a while, and then sneezed on it several times before bringing it out to seal it.The bearded man didn't recognize me and asked me what I was doing in there?

On that particular afternoon, I sat down with my notebook and continued crafting my story:"Trevis, upon hearing Kathryn's confession, felt an overwhelming surge of excitement deep within his heart.""This was the girl he had protected for over a decade!"Unable to contain his emotions, he reached out and pulled her into his embrace."Their eyes locked, and he couldn't resist leaning down, slowly closing the distance between their lips—""Kathryn!" Suddenly, Linda from the neighboring table called out, startling me so much that I jumped out of my chair.Linda burst into laughter. "What's going on? What are you writing so seriously in there?"She leaned over, attempting to peek into my notebook, but I quickly closed the pages and explained, "Oh, nothing much."Linda nodded and invited me to join her on the playground, so we went to the field together.We had a great time playing around and eventually ended up lying on the grass, completely exhausted.She gazed up at the clear

After school, Trevis messaged me, saying he was quite busy today and that I should walk home on my own. I agreed, but on my way home, I was stopped by someone.It was the first time in three years that I had seen Lucy. When I saw what she was holding up high in her hand, my mind went blank, and I felt like I wasn't myself anymore.It was my notebook. How did she get it? How did she know?Before I could make sense of it all, I heard Lucy say, "If you don't want Trevis to know your dirty secrets, you better leave him."I tried to stay calm. "Where would I go if I leave him?"Lucy chuckled and said, "You can end up on the streets for all I care."I clenched my fists. "That's not an option."Lucy replied, "Three days. If you're still by his side in three days, you're finished." Then she turned and walked away.For those three days, I was constantly on edge, desperately trying to reassure myself. I kept telling myself that the notebook was just a coincidence, and the contents wi

Trevis stepped out, his posture stiff, and he looked awkward when he saw me. I stammered, attempting to explain, "I... I couldn't think of a name for the main character, so I just used any name."As I spoke, I felt an overwhelming sense of shame. How would Trevis see me now?I heard him sigh, and Trevis, ruffling my hair, said, "I believe you. Alright, let's go to class."Even though he believed my feeble excuse, I couldn't muster any happiness. Trevis and I weren't related by blood, but did he truly have no feelings for me? A surge of anger washed over me, and I grabbed Trevis's hand."Trevis, I don't want to stay here today. Can you help me get permission to leave, and take me home?" I pleaded.He furrowed his brow slightly. "No, you need to study."I whispered softly, "But my classmates are mocking me…"He hesitated for a moment, as if only now noticing the mocking and disdainful glances from the people around us. He could do nothing but reluctantly agree.On the way home, I

The following day, Trevis and I went to the police station to provide our statements. Given that Trevis had acted in self-defense, there were no significant issues there.As for my younger brother and dad, they were facing charges of threats, intimidation, and burglary, which could result in prison sentences. My mom tearfully pleaded with me to sign a forgiveness letter, but I didn't even spare her a glance.Over the weekend, Trevis and I visited the mall and bought a stack of books,"Spoiling My Beloved Wife", "The Intimate Moments with My Boss", " Mr. Billionaire, Don’t Run Away" ...and many more.Trevis looked a bit awkward at the checkout counter, with the cashier, a young lady, repeatedly stealing glances at him. I stood behind him, wearing a big smile.After our book shopping spree, Trevis joined me at my place to help me pack my belongings. He had agreed to let me move into his apartment~While I was packing some winter clothing, a few pieces were stored in the highest cabi

I rented a temporary house in Anglos City. I sent him messages for several consecutive days. He would reply, but the replies were cold. I went to the hot pot restaurant to find him, but he always made excuses about being busy. After multiple visits, I became recognized by most of the regular customers here.One day, I overheard them discussing my relationship with Trevis. Some mocked me for being blind, claiming that I shouldn’t waste my time on a guy like Trevis. They used many insulting words, which angered me. I ordered a glass of juice, discreetly sneezed into it, and then had the waiter deliver it to their table.Those people didn't suspect a thing and were quite thankful to me. Watching them sip the juice in their foolish manner, I couldn't help but laugh. However, when I turned around, Trevis was glaring at me, his face cold. He grabbed my arm and pulled me outside, scolding me."Kathryn, what you did was wrong!"It had been a while since I'd heard Trevis sco

He instructed the waiter to arrange a private room.As soon as the door to the private room closed, I hurriedly embraced him. "Trevis," I called out.His body tensed slightly, and he gently pushed me away. "Kathryn, you need to calm down first," he advised.With teary eyes, I inquired, "Don't you miss me at all?"He remained silent.I pressed on, "Have you read the book? I wrote it for you."He nodded with stiffness, his voice hoarse. "It's very well-written."I felt elated and attempted to hug him again, but he remarked, "So, someone as talented as you, Kathryn, shouldn't be associated with someone like me."I grew furious. "Someone like you? Tell me, what do you mean by that?"He chuckled self-deprecatingly, starting to list out the labels he pinned on himself: "Almost became a murderer, never went to college..."I couldn't bear to hear it anymore, standing there with tears welling up. "Trevis, that's not true, how can you think that way..." If it weren't for me, Trevis w

I had a complete falling out with my family. When I left, my younger brother kicked over a chair in anger, and my dad smashed the TV. They yelled, "If you want to go, just go, and never come back to this house!"My mom cried, saying, "Kathryn, we're doing this for your own good. He’s just a murderer…”But if it weren't for him, I might have died in my early teens. Without looking back, I left home and found a random motel to stay in.As the start of the school year approached, I packed my bags and headed to Harvard alone. In college, I was always incredibly busy. Busy with my studies, busy making money. I always thought about saving up enough money as soon as possible so that one day, when I found Trevis, he wouldn't have to struggle for a living anymore.One day during my junior year of college, I took a leave of absence and returned to Anglos City.It was supposed to be the day Trevis got released from prison. I had no idea where to find him, so I stood outside the priso

I arrived at the Pasfield residence, a place I never thought I'd step foot in during my lifetime. Transferring between prisons required approval from higher authorities. How could Trevis, an ordinary civilian, have managed it? There had to be something Lucy had said or done, pulling strings with the police to make it happen for him.But when I entered the room and saw Lucy, I could hardly believe it. She was clutching high school math homework, struggling to solve it. Simultaneously, she was sending messages to Trevis."Trevis, I don't understand this problem. Can you teach me?""Why are you ignoring me? If you don't want to teach me, just say it. You think I want you to teach me?"Even though she sent the messages, all she received in response were red exclamation marks. Trevis had long since blocked her.......I observed from the sidelines, growing increasingly alarmed by her erratic behavior. The servant let out a sigh and explained that ever since the day she had hit

I quickly reached my senior year of high school. During this year, I dedicated myself to my studies, immersing myself in textbooks. Some of my classmates were privy to certain secrets and would occasionally gossip, but I paid them no mind.I kept Trevis' photo tucked inside the inner pocket of my wallet, and whenever I felt utterly drained from the demands of senior year, I would steal a fleeting glance at it.Even amidst the busyness of senior year, I managed to send Trevis many letters. Almost every letter received a response from him. He was more concerned about my relationship with my family. To spare him from worrying, I would vaguely reply that everything was fine.But in reality, once they found out I could earn money through writing, they seized my bank card. Moreover, throughout my entire senior year, I didn't receive a single word of comfort. A year later, I secured a place at Harvard with the highest grades in the entire school.When I received my acceptance letter, I co

In my new home, the woman opened up to me about how much she had missed me over the years, expressing her constant efforts to find me. She even went the extra mile to prepare many of my favorite dishes. However, despite her sincere efforts, I found it challenging to adapt to this new family.The man in the house, whom they called "father," had a drinking problem. When he got intoxicated, he would unleash his frustration on my mother, treating her as if she were a punching bag. If I didn't hide away in my room, he might turn his anger toward me as well.My younger brother, on the other hand, was obsessed with video games. Every night, he would create a disruptive commotion, leaving me without a moment of peace. I couldn’t sleep well, and I often suffered from splitting headaches. It only made me miss Trevis even more.My brother eventually noticed that and loudly exclaimed, "You still haven't cut ties with that murderer!" It infuriated me.My father scolded me, saying, "
Whispers Across the Moon 26
As I finished reading the letter, tears had already soaked the pages. I gathered Trevis’s belongings and took them back home, hardly sparing a glance at the string of numbers on the back. My dear Trevis, you were so clever, and I'm sure you knew the saying: "Home is where the heart is." The place where my heart found peace was my true home. So, I didn't want to leave.But even though I wished for that, I couldn't resist when that family came knocking at my door. On my way home from school that day, a woman blocked my path. The moment she saw me, tears welled up in her eyes, and she rushed to hug me. She called my name and claimed to be my real mother. I stood frozen in place, facing this unfamiliar woman, unable to utter the word "mom."In the evening, I called Trevis and told him about the situation, expressing my reluctance to go home. But Trevis insisted that I was still young, and I needed someone to take care of me. What if something happened when he wasn't aro

To my dearest Kathryn,Back when I brought you home, you were just a little tot, no bigger than a signboard. That same girl who used to cry a lot back then has grown into who you are now.But your personality has never changed. You always blame everything on yourself and bear a heavy burden.Kathryn, promise me, don't be so hard on yourself.Because I willingly chose to do everything for you.I know you've always wanted to return home.After our mother's passing, all leads went cold. But for all these years, you've tirelessly tried to reconnect, and finally, it seems like I've helped you find your family once again.It's embarrassing to admit, but it took me quite a while to find them, and I hesitated to part with you for almost half a year. But now, as I sit in this prison cell, I can breathe a sigh of relief. At least, my dear Kathryn, you have somewhere to go even without me by your side.I've left their contact information on the back of this letter, hoping that you'll
