Chapter 1929
"And, follow me "
Pointing at the distance between them, Carolien wandered and said, "Would the family have any objections? I don't mean anything else. I just don't want to cause you trouble!"
After all, he was her ex-boyfriend's second uncle. And before that, although Guillermo loved her very much, the Collins family did not like her!
Originally, the two planned to get married after graduation. However, due to the huge gap between their families, she was born in a single-parent family. She also had a younger brother who was considered "a burden" shortly after she was born. Her family also ran a nightclub that was neither good nor bad. The Collins family felt that a daughter-in-law like her would be a long-term burden no matter how good she was. They had quite some complaints about her.
At that time, the two had just graduated and their careers were not stable. Guillermo insisted on marrying her. Although they had not fallen out with each other, their relationship had been quite stiff. Therefore, in the end, the two of them decided to establish an empire first and then get married. They relied on their own efforts to shut the Collins family up. Whether they could finally get the consent of their family or not, the two of them had to be together.
From the beginning to the end, their relationship was very good. Every time they quarreled, he would admit that he was wrong. From the moment Guillermo pursued her, he had always thought highly of her. Even if the family he cared most about could not separate them, but because of the family he cared most about, the two decided to have a stable career first. Therefore, he studied and achieved outstanding achievements while doing business, while she worked as a substitute. After a year, both of them had achieved something.
On the eve of his birthday, she specially invited him to Korea to celebrate his birthday. But she did not expect that their life would suddenly draw to an end at her happiest moment.
She went to Korea in a hurry. He proposed to her. On her birthday, she had booked a hotel to give him a surprise. Unexpectedly, after she gathered all her courage to give herself to him, it was like a bolt from the blue. It was not even daybreak. She was half asleep when she received a phone call from her home saying that her mother was dying. She went back in a hurry. She didn't even remember how she went out and returned to her country that day.
After returning home, she found out that her mother had cancer. There were early signs that she had been conservatively treated. Therefore, she was asked to protect her mother and repeatedly urged to marry Guillermo as soon as possible. However, she never expected that she would sick two years later. She would never forget the two words she said to her mother before she died, "I'm sorry", because they had no relatives and a brother who was waiting to be fed.
She knew that for the rest of her life, her brother would be her responsibility.
But she didn't think it was a burden, because he was her only relative in this world.
Therefore, when she promised her mother, she was ready to break up with Guillermo. She used all her savings to save her mother's life. Unfortunately, after the operation, her mother only held on for two months. Although it was a short period of time, it was the last happy memory of their family.
At that time, Guillermo had been carrying out a final and tense sprint in Korea. She did not disturb him too much. Later, when things were almost settled, she finally declared that in the future, if she wanted to run a nightclub or get married, she had to take her younger brother with her. She had to raise her younger brother to an adult and see that he had a successful family and career. She did not tell him the news of his mother's death. But at that time, she had no choice. In order to take care of the sick mother and younger brother, she could only resign to run a more free nightclub. Her mother needed a large sum of money and her younger brother also needed a lot of money!
Later, the two of them quarreled because of this irreconcilable conflict, and then they broke up peacefully.
In the past few years, no matter Casterwich City or Korea, they were like two parallel lines and had never seen each other again.
"It doesn't matter. I am not bound by the Collins family! In fact, I am... an illegitimate child of the Collins family. It's normal that you haven't heard of me!"
Carolien obviously felt his loneliness. She knew that every family had its own problems. Rich families were even more complicated. There might be some stories. Carolien quickly said,
"Sorry, sorry, I shouldn't have inquired about your privacy!"
Originally, she wanted to ask him if he had gotten married. After all, it was not appropriate for a man from a family to come to such a place where he was too close to her. When Carolien arrived here, she automatically swallowed her words. Her gaze inadvertently swept over the man's palm, which was obviously covered with gloves, and her eyes paused.
Why did he wrap himself up so tightly? Wasn't he uncomfortable?
He still remembered when he first met her. He was also like this, wearing a mask!
All of a sudden, doubts arose. Unconsciously, Carolien slightly frowned.
This time, without her asking, Guillermo raised his hand following her gaze and took the initiative to say, "Are you very surprised why I've been wearing gloves all the time?"
"No, no." She shook her head like a rattle-drum. Carolien was afraid that she would touch something that others should not.
The man clenched his fist slightly. He seemed to be very casual and whispered,
"My hand... needs to do some delicate work. They can't get hurt!"
His hand was to protect her, not for anyone to see, especially her!
His words suddenly came to her mind. Carolien nodded and smiled brightly, "Oh,
no wonder, I understand. It's like the hands of a pianist, right?"
The man's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be lost in thought for a moment. "Mmm..."
She was still beautiful and moving. When she smiled, everything in the world seemed to be eclipsed.
After a few words, the two of them talked happily. This night, because of the appearance of Guillermo, Carolien's mood was much better.
...
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed. Although she had thought things through a lot, gossip about female stars always caught people's attention.
From time to time, Carolien would be depressed for a moment.
On this day, the store was cleaned up thoroughly. After disinfecting, Carolien installed several fashionable seats that she had just ordered. She was busy all day. When she finished, it was already close to noon. She sat down on the sofa on one side and looked at a corner. Unconsciously, she was in a daze again.
"Carolien? Boss? Carolien!"
The woman's face suddenly enlarged in front of Carolien's eyes. "Huh? Maaike, what are you doing?"
"Why are you asking me? I've been calling for you for a long time! Carolien, you're in a bad mood."
Recently, she had been watching her
lose her wits. In fact, she knew why! Not to mention that it had been a long time since Elijah had appeared,
there were also rumors fpeared,
everywhere. The crux of the matter was that from time to time, there would be some strange women wandering around, all kinds of gossip. If it was anyone else, it would be strange if they were in a good mood!
"No, I'm not!"
She wanted to comfort her, but Maaike swallowed his words. She reached out
and pulled her up. "It's noon. Aren't you hungry? I'll treat you to lunch!"
"Maaike, I want to go back..."
"Don't refuse it! Today is Tuesday, Alistair is at kindergarten! You can save money,
it's my treat! Can't you satisfy my desire to have a big meal? We've been working hard all morning! Let's go!"
She pulled her up all the way, and Maaike did not give her a chance to speak.noveldrama
Maaike went tall out. The two went to eat a top western-style meal. Carolien didn't have much appetite When she came out, seeing that she was still lifeless, Maaike brought her shopping. In the shop, they chose a casual and fashionable suit. Carolien tried it on. She chose a sleeveless shirt and navy blue wide-legged pants. It was the simplest fashion.
"It looks quite beautiful for ordinary clothes! It's suitable for everyday wear!" After circling around her, Maaike gave her a thumbs up. Carolien had a nice body. Everything she wore looked good on her!
"It's good-looking. Let's buy it!"
Carolien smiled faintly. She also felt that it was not bad, but she did not feel so happy. It was up to her to buy it or not! She looked at the price tag casually. It was more than three thousand. She immediately retreated.
"It's a little expensive!"
Then, she went into the fitting room and changed. "I'll choose again!"
Just as she returned the clothes to the worker, her eyes fell on the display rack,
and a woman's poster suddenly entered her view. Mollie?
The woman was wearing a light yellow sweater, which was the main style of last autumn. On the other side, there was a logo of the store. There was writing which seemed to be her signature. Was she actually one of the representatives of this store?
Suddenly, Carolien thought of the three-million-dollar dress. Subconsciously, the corners of her lips twitched as well. It was pathetic. She was not even willing to buy three-thousand-dollar clothes!
As her gaze fell, Maaike was also stunned on the spot, and her expression became a little ugly. Then, she pretended not to see it, pulled Carolien away and left. After circling upstairs and downstairs for two times, she saw the introduction sign in the corridor, so Maaike ran over and took a look.
"There is a cinema here! Carolien, it's rare to come out. Let's go to a movie!" Then, Maaike dragged her upstairs.
Looking at the promotion introduction, the two of them were choosing the film when a series of footsteps came. They instinctively looked aside and saw a few fashionable young men and women who also came to buy tickets. Maaike said, "Why don't we wait and see what they are watching first?"
The next second, waves of regretful sighs and screams were heard, "What? They're sold out? The 2.30 show has been sold out? Is 'Time Lover' so popular?"
Before the ticket collector could make a sound, another female voice came from the other end.
"I heard that Mr. Luther has made a block booking! He is rich and willful! So there is nothing that a rich and loving boyfriend can't do! Mollie's new movie will probably support the box office at such a cold time! Either change the time or change the movie! I'll watch the 2.45..."
The congested crowd quickly dispersed. Seeing that Carolien's expression became more and more ugly, Maaike took her arm. "Are you falling in love with him?"
For so many years, she had never seen her get close to any man, not to mention
hurt by a man. She always wore a smile on her face, but these days, she was obviously too quiet.
Ever since Elijah kicked Walter, she felt that the expression in her eyes wasn't
right.
"Carolien, Elijah is not an ordinary man!"
