Christine White whipped her head around, “I’m not crying.”
She was just touched by the old man.
Aunt Lucy rolled her eyes and cried a little, “Ma’am, you’re not crying yet? Tears are dripping on the floor.”
“It’s just the wind blowing in my eyes and getting sand in them.” Christine White returned stubbornly.
Aunt Lucy’s mouth twitched, “Well, well, well, it’s in the sand, so ma’am, I’ll blow on it for you?”
“No Aunt Lucy, I’m fine now.” Christine White shook her head no, then crossed to her and walked briskly into the cottage.
Aunt Lucy couldn’t help but laugh a little at her flustered back and followed her into the house.
Once inside, Christine White went to the restroom to wash her face before picking up her suitcase and getting ready to leave.
Aunt Lucy’s mood was starting to get heavy at this point, “Ma’am, are you really leaving?”
“Well, I’ve already bought my ticket, if I don’t leave it will be too late.” Christine White replied.
Aunt Lucy was inconsolable, “Should I tell Mr.?”
“Nah, maybe it’s a good thing for him that I just disappeared into his world, after all, he’s free.” Christine White said with a smile.
Aunt Lucy, however, could see that her smile was simply fake, but rather a forced smile.
“Hey …” Aunt Lucy sighed, “You’re probably right about that too.”
“Well then Aunt Lucy, I’ll be going now, I’ll see you sometime, take care.” Christine White said, letting go of her suitcase and giving Aunt Lucy a hug.
Aunt Lucy about guessed that what she said was polite, but she was still happy in her heart and hugged her back and patted her back, “Yes, I will, and you take care of yourself too, ma’am.”
“Well, bye Aunt Lucy!” Christine White let go of Aunt Lucy and waved at her before pulling on her suitcase and leaving the villa without looking back.
She took nothing from her suitcase but a few of her own clothes.
The jade pendant the old man gave her, and the things Baird Lane gave her, she left all of them in her room.
Because she knew that none of that belonged to her, and there was no point in her taking it away.
After Christine White walked out of the villa, her footsteps subconsciously slowed down, all without half of the dryness when she walked out from the villa.
After all, she could not leave, although she wanted to divorce so firmly, but really to this moment, she realized how hard it was in her heart, to this villa she had treated as a home and how difficult to let go, not only here there are her three years of joys and sorrows, the most important thing is that there is a man she loves.
But she must, for now, still leave this man!
Christine White walked slowly forward with red eyes and nose, taking a few steps and having to look back once at the cottage behind her.
Even if she couldn’t see the villa anymore, she still looked back from time to time, as if she wanted to memorize every blade of grass and every tree here in her heart, so that for a ten-minute walk, she had to walk for half an hour before she could get out of the villa area.
“Christine!”A tawdry red sports car drove out from inside the gate of the villa area behind Christine White and slowly stopped in front of her, the windows rolled down and Hugh Dong’s seductive and mesmerizing face was exposed to the air.
Christine White looked up at him, her voice still a little choked, “What brings you here?”
“I made a special trip to find you.” Hugh Dong smiled brightly at her.
Christine White pointed to her nose, “Looking for me?”
“Yeah, I was just having a drink in the garden of my villa, and I happened to see you dragging your suitcase out step by step, so I chased you out.” Hugh Dong said, his eyes swept over her suitcase, “So you’re divorced?”
“Uh-huh.” Christine White nodded.
Hugh Dong rubbed his chin, “So where are you going now?”
“Back in my township, getting ready to go to the bus station now.”
“Why don’t you buy a plane ticket?” Hugh Dong asked her.
A flash of embarrassment crossed Christine White’s eyes, “A car is easier, and my home city doesn’t have an airport yet.”
Could she say she was thinking of saving a little because she didn’t have much money on her.
Hugh Dong didn’t suspect that Christine White was lying, instead he really believed her words, “In that case, get in the car, I’ll drive you there.”
He offered to carry her suitcase toward the trunk of the car.
Christine White didn’t refuse, pulling open the door and getting in.
On the way, Hugh Dong, not knowing if it was on purpose or not, actually played a singles love song.
Christine White sounded rather uncomfortable, but thinking she was hitching a ride with him, she held her tongue.
It was Hugh Dong who got a little surprised and turned off the music and smiled, “I thought you were going to make me turn it off.”
“You’re the owner of this car, it’s your freedom to play whatever music you want, I don’t have the right to do that.” Christine White returned politely.
Hugh Dong controlled the steering wheel with one hand and propped his other hand on the car window, his smile became even more provocative, “Actually, I’d like you to do that, wouldn’t it make the two of us seem even closer?”
Christine White pretended not to hear.
Hugh Dong made a fool of himself and skimmed his lips, “By the way, since you’re all divorced, how come your ex-husband didn’t even give you a gift? At least you guys are still husband and wife.”
Hearing the word ex-husband on his lips caused another pain in Christine White’s heart.
That’s when she also reacted to the fact that she and Baird Lane were ex-husbands and ex-wives from now on.
“When you’re divorced, you have nothing to do with each other, and if you don’t, why must you send me.” Christine White lowered her eyelids, unable to see the color of her eyes.
The corner of Hugh Dong’s mouth hooked, “You’re right, it’s lucky he didn’t send it, otherwise how would it be my turn.”
Christine White glanced at him, “Mr. Dong, I’m wondering why I run into you so coincidentally every time.”
“That’s probably fate.” Hugh Dong answered with a dripping voice.
Christine White naturally didn’t believe him.
Hugh Dong laughed, “Well I’ll tell you, I’ve actually been watching you, and you know how I feel about you, before you and President Lane didn’t get divorced, I couldn’t intervene, but now that you’re divorced, can you give me a chance?”
As he said this, his expression suddenly became serious.
Christine White’s heart jumped and she deliberately played dumb, “I can’t understand what you’re talking about Mr. Dong, the bus stop is here, I’m getting off.”
“Ai, you are really still like this.” Hugh Dong sighed with some loss, but soon, he was in good spirits again, “It’s okay, I believe that with my charisma, I will definitely impress you.”
The corner of Christine White’s mouth tugged, and she didn’t take him up on it, getting right out of the car.
Hugh Dong followed down and helped her take the suitcase out of the trunk.
“Thank you Mr. Dong, goodbye Mr. Dong.” Christine White gave him a slight bow.
Hugh Dong, however, opened his hand, “Won’t you give me a parting hug?”
“No!” Christine White rolled her eyes at him and, dragging her suitcase with her, turned into the station.
Hugh Dong watched her figure go away until it was out of sight before he slowly put away the frivolous smile on his face, then took his cell phone out and dialed a call out.
The phone was quickly connected, he put the phone to his ear and said in a somewhat beaten tone, “Hey President Lane, I heard you got divorced, what a congratulations!”
Baird Lane was woken up by the phone, this time the head is still a little dizzy, are still not much spirit, but suddenly heard Hugh Dong this sentence, his whole person instantly awake, a cold light from the bottom of the eyes quickly swept through, “Divorce? Who told you I’m divorced?”
