Chapter 320
Chapter 320
In the morning of this late winter, there were only a few people in the cemetery.
The path in the cemetery had just been cleaned. There was not even a leaf on it.
Although Roger had told me about the area where the tomb Patrick had bought for me was located, he hadn't told me about its exact location.
When I arrived, I realized that the third region was very large.
I wrapped myself tightly in my coat and wandered in this cemetery. It took me almost an hour to finally find the tombstone.
However, the name on it was not mine.
Instead, it was Caroline.
This tombstone was obviously new.
"This tombstone was newly changed a few days ago."
When I was staring at the tombstone in a daze, I heard a hoarse and old voice from behind me.
I looked back and saw an old man standing behind me, who stooped and held a large broom in his hands.
Hearing his words, I guessed he knew a lot about this place, so I asked, "Why was it changed?"
The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know. When this tomb was just completed, a man often came here. I heard that he seemed to be a big boss with a lot of money."
"Is that so?" I knew he was Patrick.
"Yes, not only did he come in the day, but he also often came here at night. Sometimes, he was completely drunk. At that time, I was afraid that he would catch a cold, so I took him to my room."
Hearing the old man say this, I immediately said, "Thank you."
That event had happened in January or February.
Based on the weather of City Y, he might have been frozen to death if staying outside for a night.
Upon hearing my words of thanks, the old man asked, "You know that boss?"
"Yes." I nodded. Looking at the name of Caroline on the tomb, I said, "The owner of this tomb is my sister."
"Really? But the name on the stone wasn't this before, it's another. It was changed just a few days ago." The old man explained to me.
"Yes, I know." I nodded.
The old man stood beside me, looked at the tombstone with me and sighed. "That boss often burned letters here. He burned them one by one, without saying a word every time. Alas, maybe he was too sad to drop tears."
Too sad to drop tears?
After a while, the old man left.
I continued to stand in front of the tombstone alone. I wondered, five years ago, in what mood had Patrick been here?
However, a wrong step led to all the wrong steps.
We could never go back.
I turned around and left.
In the afternoon, I went to Nancy's office to revise the blueprint with her.
It was just a revision instead of a redesign. Therefore, the rudiment of the whole design had almost be finished.
That night, I still went back to Lisa's place.
To be honest, I still didn't know how to face Shelton.
Lisa and I spent the night together.
The next morning, I got up on time. When I was about to leave for work, I suddenly saw Shelton's car parked at the door.
The man saw me and got out of the car. The morning sun shone on the man's gentle face, it looked so warm and harmonious.
However, I only felt extremely cold.
It was so easy for Shelton to find me.
"Let's go. I'll take you to work." With a faint smile on his face, the man waved to me.
Lisa was behind me. When she saw Shelton, she was also stunned and immediately held me in her arms. "She is mine. I won't give her to you! Hurry up and leave. I'll send her to work!"
Shelton was not angry when he heard that. "Can I take you two ladies to work?"
"There's no need." I got out of Lisa's arms and said to her, "You can go now. Shelton can send me there."
"No way!"
Lisa was hostile to Shelton.
However, the confrontation wouldn't last forever.
Even Patrick was no match for Shelton, not to mention me and Lisa, who were just normal people.
I patted Lisa's arm and said, "Bye, I'll go first."
Saying this, I walked to Shelton's side and smiled. "Let's go."
Shelton opened the door for me. When he saw that I was seated, he closed the door and then moved to the driver's seat.
When he got in the car, I said, "You stalk me."
Shelton started the car and said, "You really think I need to stalk you? I can guess your position easily."
Was that so?
Maybe.
Shelton drove the car to Nancy's office. When I was about to get off the car, he suddenly grabbed my hand.
I looked at him in surprise, but I didn't say anything.
The man smiled. "On this weekend, can you spare one day for me? Let's go and choose an engagement ring. After all, the engagement will be held next week."
"Okay."
At first, I wanted to refuse.
However, I knew that I couldn't refuse.
Since I had already decided to marry him, I could only accept everything.
Shelton looked at me. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he just let go of my hand.
During this week, Nancy and I were busy with designing.
Because we made a good team, we efficiently finished almost all the designs of the holiday village in a short time.
When the image was rendered, I stood with her to see the effect.
"That's great! I'm sure Mr. Reid will be satisfied with it when he see it!" Nancy said.
I shared the same thoughts as her.
I looked at the image and said, "We can call it Time-travel?"
"Time-travel?" Nancy looked at me and then at the image. She grabbed my hand and nodded desperately. "I think this name is good! It's wonderful!"
After confirming the name, we looked forward to the final effect of this work!
In a twinkling of an eye, it was the weekend.
It was the day that I accompanied Shelton to see the engagement ring as appointed.
A few days ago, Shelton went to Lisa's place every day to pick me up. Eventually, I could not bear the pressure and went back to Glorious Days bay. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
I lived in this apartment that belongs to us.
After all, we would live together sooner or later.
Wasn't it the truth?
In City Y, even though the engagement was not equal to a wedding or a marriage certificate, we were married to some extent.
In Glorious Days bay, I slept with Shelton. I got up on time at 7 o'clock in the morning and didn't sleep late for even a second.
After I got up, I freshened up and sat at the dining table, waiting for the servants to bring me breakfast.
I was really like a noble lady.
When I finished eating, it was still early. I took out my mobile phone and began to browse the social media.
I searched for information about the Towering High subconsciously.
As expected, that Al project had already begun.
The hard drive really contained information on Al. Shelton did not lie to me.
"Master." While I was watching the news, a few servants at the table spoke at the same time.
I knew that Shelton was coming. I looked up and saw that he had already changed his clothes. He sat at the dining table and began to have breakfast.
The morning sunlight shone on his face through the big French glass, as if adding a layer of gold to his gentle face.
I was in a trance for a moment when looking at him.
Many years ago, on the second day after my marriage to Patrick, I had also watched Patrick eating breakfast like this.
It was a long long time ago.
Shelton seemed to realize that I was looking at him. He looked up at me and smiled gently. "What's wrong?"
