I immediately refused. “Do you know what you are talking about? This matter has nothing to do with you.”
“I don’t care, I am willing.”
I know what he wants, but I can’t accept it. “I don’t want to burden you, I don’t want to waste your time on me, you can still find a better girl.”
“You have been very good, will you give me a chance? Let me take good care of you and your child. I promise I will take this child as my own treasure.”
I looked at him with some embarrassment. I was really afraid that I could not help but promise, and I still had one last point, “No, I won’t promise, no matter what you say, I won’t accept it.”
His eyes flashed with disappointment, but he soon recovered. “Well, I won’t force you, then I will help you as a friend. I don’t want Austin to find you. I’ll take you out of here.”
He is right. I need to get out of here and go to a place where there are less people so that no one can find out the existence of this child. I nodded my head. He went to arrange everything quickly, time passed, and we left here.
Looking at the new environment, I am amazed at its beauty, but my heart is still heavy. Things about Austin are recalled, but I am always not happy. I don’t know why.
Gavin is busy every day, preparing all kinds of things for me. I feel very guilty, “Gavin, you don’t have to prepare so much for me. You have your own things to do, so leave me alone.”
“I’m fine, and it’s not all for you, it is also for the baby.”
It’s very thoughtful of him. I know he is deliberately avoiding a topic, and I don’t mention it, as if nothing had happened.
These two days are good. For the sake of my child, I have to pull myself together, and I can’t be depressed every day. But every time I want to start over, that figure will once again enter my world and catch me off guard.
On this day, Gavin accompanied me to the seaside for a walk. Suddenly, a helicopter stopped in the distance, and my heart suddenly missed a beat. The figure was so familiar. How did he come here? Is he here to see me?
“Acacia, I finally found you. Do you know how much I miss you?”
He took me by his hand and said such gentle words, but I was not happy at all. My heart ached when I thought that he was holding another woman that night.
I broke free from his hand, looked at him with a straight face, and said nothing.
“What’s wrong with you? Are you still mad at me? It’s not what you think.”
I don’t want to listen to his explanation. If he really cares about me, why did he take so long to come to me?
“What’s the matter? I’m not interested in you anymore. I’m Gavin’s fiancée now. We’re going to get married. You’d better go back.”
“What?” He opened his eyes wide and was shocked
He said angrily, “Impossible, you are giving birth to my child, you are lying to me.”
I restrained my inner impulse, walked slowly to Gavin’s side, and reached out and hooked his arm. “Everything I said is true, I don’t mind if you believe it or not.”
Gavin knew we were just pretending in front of Austin, and he knew how strong my heart was and how to get along with the game.
“Austin, you see the reality clearly. Acacia is my fiancée now. Please don’t harass her again in the future.”
“What are you? What does my business with her have to do with you, you little man who sneaked in?” He cursed angrily.
I gritted my teeth and stamped my feet. I replied, “You’ve had enough. Don’t be like a child who doesn’t grow up. I don’t want to make trouble with you anymore. I’m tired. I want to find someone to rely on. Go. I don’t want to see you.”
“Acacia…” He trembles.
In order not to make me sad, Gavin quickly gave a marching order, “Didn’t you hear? Acacia said she didn’t want to see you. ”
I clearly saw his fist clenched, and the veins stood out suddenly and violently. I had to control myself. I couldn’t be soft-hearted. Did he ever care if I was sad since he left?
Seeing that he hasn’t left for a long time, Gavin took my hand and walked back. I don’t know how long it took, but I didn’t see him. He left, and he probably won’t come back.
Watching me burst into tears, Gavin was very distressed, “Have you really let him go?”
“Even if I don’t, I will force myself to let go.”
“Don’t be too hard on yourself. If you can’t forget him, go and leave him. I didn’t want to look at you too sad just now, so I said this.”
I shook my head. “I can’t indulge myself anymore. Every time I give in, I give myself a reason to be sad. I don’t want to humiliate myself anymore.”
I have made up my mind, and there is no room to go back on my word. Gavin didn’t say anything more, just silently accompanied me.
In the following days, Austin really didn’t appear again, he disappeared without a trace so that everyone had no interaction.
Gavin’s care made me feel very touched, so I don’t have to worry about anything. Everything is so meticulous. Looking at his contribution every day, I can’t do anything. I can give him nothing but give back a smile that is not sincere.
Thank you, but I’m sorry too.
Every day I sit on the balcony and draw pictures by looking at the beautiful scenery, the sadness in my heart will be blown away a lot. Gavin saw that I was so interested in drawing, so he suggests something, and helped me take the draft for submission.
I didn’t expect that I could draw a picture with my hands, but some people really liked it. One painting club liked my works very much, and with long-term cooperation with them, they would pay me a lot of money. I think that the baby in my belly needs a lot of money to raise after birth, and then I have nothing to do, so I will find a job for myself.
I promised to cooperate with them, and my life became much more interesting. I didn’t idle every day. Seeing that I had something to pin on, Gavin was relieved, leaving bodyguards to take care of me every day and occasionally walking away for a while.
When I am in a quiet atmosphere, I am always half sad and happy. I always telling myself that I have forgotten it, but I can’t help thinking about it every time, then cry and blame myself for being useless.
“What’s wrong with you, Acacia?” The worried voice came from behind.
I quickly dried my tears and turned around. It turned out to be Gavin. I tried to make an alibi and explained. “I am fine, but the wind here is a little strong, which makes me unable to open my eyes.”
He seems to have seen my heart, but he didn’t want to embarrass me, so he took the initiative to open the topic. “How do those people take care of you, the wind is strong you should not be out here, and what if you get sick?”
I am very grateful to him for thinking about me everywhere. “You don’t blame them, I want to be here by myself, and I will be very inspired when I draw here.”
“Okay, but you can’t do this in the future. Take good care of your body, don’t think only for yourself, but also for the baby in your belly.”
I nodded. “I know, thank you.”
“Thank you for what, I chose to take care about you.”
Just between the two of us talking, my mobile phone rang. It turned out to be the editor-in-chief of our painting club. I picked it up and said, “Hey, what can I do for you?”
“Acacia, you have a painting that has been bought.” Her words are very exciting. I wonder who bought the paintings and made her so excited.
“Who bought the paintings?”
“I don’t know about this, but this is not the point.”
I have some doubts, what does she mean.
“What’s the point?”
“The other party spent 100 million dollars to buy your painting.”
“What?” I was shocked. It’s a sky-high price.
Gavin was surprised when he heard about what we are talking about on the phone call. He guessed in his heart that my painting was exquisite and beautiful, but it was not exaggerated enough to be bought for $100 million.
There are some trance in my heart, a figure emerged in my mind, could it be him?
I haven’t got an answer yet, and the person on the phone told me another thing, “The painting society decided to hold a solo exhibition for you. Recently, do you have any manuscripts in hand?”
“This is too urgent, and I am not sure.”
Gavin also heard about this and encouraged me on the other side. The person on the phone made a decision directly to me. “Nothing, you can take your time. In this way, the exhibition will be postponed until three months later.”
Before I could respond, the other party hung up, and I couldn’t refuse.
“Acacia, don’t think too much. It is commendable to have an opportunity to show yourself. If you feel that you can’t do it alone, I will always here to help you. Just work hard.”
With his encouragement, I promised myself that this difficult job would inspire me to work hard and not to disappoint the people who value my work.
With my stomach getting bigger, I feel more and more tired and can’t draw a picture every day.
That evening, I stood on the balcony, holding a brush in my hand, watching the setting of the sun slowly falling, and I came back to my mind.
The brush in my hand couldn’t help sketching it out, and the final product even startled me. What I draw was like him, and tears fell unwillingly.
Gavin at the door saw this painting and my heartache. He pushes the door in and didn’t want to expose my fragility. Gavin told me that the company had something to do and he was going to leave for a while. He told his bodyguard to take good care of me. I was crying and laughing because he made a mountain out of a molehill. But the more he looked like this, the more I owed him, and thought about him on how to repay his kindness.
Today, I was not in the mood to paint, so I asked my bodyguard to help me move the recliner to the outside garden. I lay on it and watched the scenery, and the breeze blew, and everything seemed so wonderful.
Suddenly, the girl’s cry for help broke the silence.
“Help!”
Looking at the source of the sound, there are five big and three thick men chasing a woman and approaching to her slowly.
