As City R police recruitment was giving public notice of entrance examination, she signed up, thinking that she might work there if she passed.
However, she didn’t expect that an eye-catching tall figure came to her view when she just got off the train and walked out of the station.
Arthur stood there, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips, looking at her. It was quiet as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Leila was a little surprised. How could he know that she came to City R today?
Besides, she just made the decision last night to leave in the early morning for she was upset after Arthur confessed his love to her and there were just so many problems around her.
However, she never thought that Arthur would appear.
“You, why are you here?”
His eyes were bloodshot. He went back to Leila’s house last night, trying to apologize to her for saying those words at that time, but he didn’t know how to say.
He smoked in the car and stayed there all night.
At dawn, he saw Leila carrying a bag, opening the door stealthily, and then getting into a taxi.
He followed her all the way to the railway station, and he was lucky that Leila didn’t notice him. Seeing that she bought a train ticket to City R, he quietly backed away, and then drove to City R ahead of time.
“You left in a hurry!” he said.
Leila shook her head, embarrassed. She really didn’t expect to meet Arthur here.
“I followed you all the way! I know you haven’t arranged a place to live. Don’t get me wrong. I have no other intention. I just fixed you up with a place to stay. Once I know you’re safe and sound, I will go back immediately!”
“I…”
“Come on, ” Arthur said in a begging tone. “If you don’t think about yourself, should you think about the baby in your belly?”
Finally, Leila nodded, without refusing Arthur’s kindness.
…
“Renee, is Leila with you?” Vincent called anxiously. He called almost everyone who Leila might came to, but in vain.
“Shit! I’ve just recovered from a serious illness. Leila hasn’t come to me for several days!”
“Leila is gone! She ran away from home.” Vincent’s voice trailed off, and he was almost hopeless.
“What?” Renee jumped out of bed.
“Watch out, don’t jump. The wound hasn’t healed yet!” Miyamoto worried.
Renee immediately waved and motioned to Miyamoto not to speak. She yelled at the phone, “What’s the matter with you? Vincent, I won’t let you go if Leila is gone. Let me put in this way, Leila is kind, but I’m not a pushover. I’m her best friend. Tell me the truth. What did you do to Leila? She ran away from home? When did it happen? I was wondering why she didn’t come to me these days. It turned out that you upset her! Shit! Are you a man? Look at yourself in the mirror. Who do you think you are? How could you make Leila sad and give her a hard time…”
Vincent hung up the phone, as he was not in a mood to listen to Renee’s long speech. He wanted to find her immediately and tell her that he believed that the child she was pregnant with was his.
There was no need for him to do the DNA test. He believed that the one in a billion miracle would happen to himself.
However, she had gone and disappeared.
“Damn it! He hung up my phone. How dare. What a man! Renee scolded and she immediately changed clothes. “Ge out, out, I need to change clothes!” she said to Miyamoto.
“What’s the matter? Is Leila gone?”
“Tell me about it, you don’t hear it all. Hurry up and help find Leila!” Renee rolled her eyes at Miyamoto. “Hey, hurry up. Go out, I need to get dressed.”
She pushed him out and began to look for clothes in a hurry.
After getting dressed, Renee opened the door, seeing Miyamoto standing at the door with a frown. He stared at Renee who was in anxiety, saying, “Where are you going to find her?”
“Oh! Where can I find her! I’ll call her first!” With that, Renee called her.
But it was Mabel who answered the phone, and she realized that she left without her phone. ” “She didn’t want us to find her. She is crazy! No, I have to find her. I think something happened to her, or she will not go away like this. ”
“Then how can you find her?” Miyamoto asked, frowning.
“But I have to try! By the way, aren’t you capable enough? You have got to help me!”
“Why?”
“What? I can’t believe you don’t take Leila as your friend. Ungrateful Japanese. I know you are not likable. Well, I don’t need you. I will go for it myself! Forget about the fake marriage.” Renee snorted and went out.
“Auntie…” the childish voice came from the door of the next room. Owen raised his face and looked at Renee and Miyamoto with worry. “Did you fight with dad? Auntie, are you leaving?”
Looking at Owen’s sad face, Renee suddenly changed her face and beamed a smile. “No, we’re not having a fight. I need to go out for a while, and I’ll be back soon.”
“You promise, Auntie!” Owen came over and held Renee’s hand, and looked up at Miyamoto. “Dad, please don’t fight with auntie. I like her. She will read many stories to me in the evening. Mommy never do that…”
As he said, his voice trilled off.
Feeling a pain in her heart, Renee scolded Pippa for her irresponsibility to her child in her heart.
Holding Owen’s face, Renee comforted, “OK, I will read so many stories to you, so many so that we’ll make up for what you’ve missed in the past. Is that okay?”
“Great!” Owen was overjoyed.
“Good boy! Give me a kiss!” Renee puckered her red lips and pecked her on the cheek, and he beamed a smile.
Miyamoto looked at them, a warmth surging over him at that moment.
He felt quite warm.
Why didn’t Pippa cherish it? He couldn’t figure it out he was wrong, or Pippa, or they were both wrong.
“Owen, good boy. Go to play games. I’ll go out to deal with something!” Renee said, patting his little face.
“Okay!” he agreed, and he said to Miyamoto, “Dad, don’t let auntie go!”
He ran to his room before he got his dad’s promise.
Renee took a look at Miyamoto, who was looking at her affectionately, and she was shocked. “Well, I’ll go out to look for Leila!”
With that, she turned around and was about to leave when Miyamoto said, “Wait a moment, I’ll make a call to ask someone to look for her!”
“Really?” Renee was stunned and laughed. “Well! Make the call now!”
Miyamoto sent for Leila, and he looked for her with the Renee outside.
However, they didn’t expect to meet Callum.
Renee thought Leila would go to that piano company, only to find that Callum was playing the piano there. He was singing a song, which was to her liking, Later.
His voice was low and hoarse, and it was full of emotion.
Listen to the hoarse voice…
Later, I finally learned how to love, but you have turned around and disappeared.
Feeling a pain in her ear, Renee went to ask the boss directly whether Leila had been there.
Callum stopped playing upon hearing the voice of Renee.
Renee, who turned back to him, didn’t feel like say hello to him.
She didn’t expect Callum to come to her and started the conversation. Renee!”
Renee turned around, revealing a faint smile. “What a coincidence!” she said politely.
“Renee, I…”
“Sorry, there’s an emergency I have to deal with. See you next time!” Renee turned and left.
Callum chased after her and tugged at her arm, “Renee, I’m wrong! I’m very painful. Can you listen to me?”
Renee closed her eyes, trying to cover the grief, and said, “Callum, now, there is nothing to say. Why bother to make me sad?”
“Renee, I don’t know what you have to do with Miyamoto, but I know that he doesn’t love you, and he is not a good man you can marry.”
Renee pulled back her arm and sneered, “If he isn’t, will you be the one? What is a good man? Is there any good man in the world?”
Callum was stunned and his eyes were red. “Renee, I had my own difficulties. I do!”
“You had your own difficulties?” Renee asked with a smile and she complained, “Sorry, I don’t. I’m free to marry anyone I like, and it has nothing to do with you. Well, are you regretful? Aren’t you happy? Now you finally realized I’m such a good girlfriend. Sorry to disappoint you. I’m doing very well. I have someone to love me and to take care of me. Miyamoto treats me like his daughter. I can’t be any better! Are you jealous? Hahaha…”
Callum was dazed, not knowing how to answer.
Miyamoto didn’t see Renee come out after parking the car. He thought she found Leila, and he got out of the car to enter the piano business, only to find she was with Callum.
He looked at them quietly.
Seeing that Renee seemed to be calm, but her eyes were full of indifference, he stepped back slowly and said with a bitter smile, “I see. Renee, are you going to marry Miyamoto in revenge, right? You still love me, and you hate me, so you revenge on me with your happiness!”
Renee’s body shook a little and she pursed her pale lips tightly.
Was that so? If not, why did she feel the heartache? She would rather not have loved him. She turned around to avoid looking at Callum, but she didn’t expect to see Miyamoto.
Meeting his eyes, she saw a trace of sadness from his eyes, and there was a kind of sympathetic feeling.
Callum backed away and hit the piano behind with a bang, the piano making a harsh non-key tune.
Renee walked to Miyamoto, whispering, “Let’s go, Leila did not come here!”
Looking at her pale face, he reached out and gently held her shoulder to give her support, without saying a word. Renee did not refuse, and her heart ached.
Callum sighed and sat down.
The phone rang. It was sweet. He didn’t answer it.
It kept ringing.
He still didn’t answer.
It didn’t stop ringing.
He finally shouted at the phone, “What else do you want? You can get your dad to sign the investigation order!”
