The photo that originally recorded Clara’s moving back fell into the locket and turned into ashes, and the locket also seemed full because of an additional small photo, as if it had deliberately left that photo in its place.
“Maybe you should have been reunited with them a long time ago.” Darren said lightly with a smile on his lips.
He then closed the lid for the locket and tossed it out along the window.
The locket crossed a parabola in the air and landed on the ground with a few turns, and then no more movement.
Darren closed the window with an indescribable feeling in his heart, but he knew that he was following his heart in doing so.
Darren returned to Catherine’s room, got under the brocade covers, took her into his arms, and closed his eyes contentedly.
The day has just dawned, Catherine somehow the whole person is curled up in Darren’s arms, her face at this time with a trace of reluctance, right arm on Darren’s waist, blocking Darren’s way, as if afraid that Darren does not want her general.
Two people sleeping soundly and sweetly, embracing each other, so happy, a song broke this beautiful picture.
Darren suddenly opened his eyes and blinked hazily, while Catherine felt some noise, first pulled the quilt to cover her head, but later found that it did not work, so she closed her eyes and touched the phone with her hands.
Suddenly her hand felt hot, Catherine snapped awake, lifted the blanket with a crash and found her hand pressed against Darren’s. With a slightly embarrassed smile, she gently avoided Darren’s large hand and picked up the phone.
What? Mom called, why is it that she wants me or something else! Whatever, it’s time for Darren to explain to my mom.
“Hello? Mom, I need to talk to you.” Catherine pressed the connect button and took a hard breath, determined to announce her relationship with Darren.
“Catherine, Mom has something to tell you, too.” The voice on the other end of the phone was slightly rushed, as if she had encountered some difficult problem.
Uh … what can still be more important than I this matter, no, I have to say first, in case Darren later slipped away what to do.
Catherine glanced at Darren on the side, with a slightly deeper meaning in her eyes, as if to say: my mother called, you do not want to run, this time you explain clearly.
“Mom, you first take it easy, first hear me out, that I ah …”
“Catherine, actually your father and I are not your biological parents.” The other end of the phone said somewhat inexorably.
“Huh? Mom, are you kidding me? Today is not April Fool’s Day, you can’t just say it because you want to say it first, okay, okay, I’ll let you say it first okay.”
Catherine listened to the disbelief, shook his head, alas, it is my fault I have not been home for so long to see, the mother is now trying to come up with this trick, at home has always had a good relationship with the mother, from time to time, some jokes, for this kind of ridiculous things, Catherine naturally will not believe.
“Catherine ah, this time I am serious, in fact, you were picked up by your father back then, and now your biological parents have found our family, they are sitting at home right now.”
When Catherine heard this, she was struck by a bolt from the blue, her phone slipped from her hand and hit the floor hard. Her eyes widened in disbelief, unable to believe it was true.
Me? I’m not born to my parents, I’m a foundling!
Darren just heard the conversation between the two, looking at the dumbfounded Catherine, he could not help but some heartache, know Catherine is a moment to accept, said comforting: “No matter who is your biological parents, you still have me, come on, let’s go clean up, go to your home to see what the situation. ”
Compared to Catherine, Darren is obviously much calmer. Seeing Catherine’s lack of reaction, Darren pushed himself forward and continued, “Let’s go, what should be faced is still to be faced.”
This time, without waiting for Catherine’s reaction, Darren directly overpowered her and forced her out.
Catherine’s heart silently accepted this fact, even though she was extremely reluctant.
“Well, I was just a little excited, I’ll do it myself.” Catherine’s face did not carry any expression, and her tone was not warm. It was the first time Darren had heard Catherine talk to herself like that, but he was relieved to think of what had just happened.
“Are you okay on your own?” Looking at Catherine’s current state, Darren asked with some concern.
Catherine nodded without saying a word.
Darren sighed, didn’t say anything more and walked out of the bathroom.
The two quickly packed up and set off on Catherine’s journey home.
Inside the car, Catherine’s mind played out countless images of meeting her biological parents, and she thought, “Am I blaming myself for your loss? Did you accidentally get lost with me on the road or did you do it on purpose? If not on purpose, why did you find me only now? If so, then why did you have to meet me now?
Catherine has always thought of everything in a bad way, when it happens, even if things are worse, you will not feel anything, because you have already thought of the worst trend of things, with a certain psychological implication.
The worst thing is that my parents deliberately lost me back then and did not look for me after all these years, and now they need me for something at home, so they find me. So what will happen to them? Can’t make it through the day?
Catherine shook her head, let’s see what happens then, things don’t have to be so bad.
And Darren was holding his phone and kept pressing it. Ta-da, Darren tapped out a few more words on his phone and sent them towards someone.
He looked at the bewildered Catherine, could not help but worry about her, he already knew the whole thing, he felt that Catherine’s biological parents are a bit cold-blooded, even if the daughter is their own flesh and blood ah.
But it was Catherine’s real parents, and even if Darren knew the inside story and didn’t agree with it, there was no way he could stop Catherine, not to mention he didn’t want to.
The car rushed along, the scenery outside the window constantly changing, just like Catherine’s heart, ebbing and flowing.
Soon the two arrived at the home of Catherine’s adoptive parents. As soon as they entered the house, Catherine was pulled by the hands of a middle-aged woman, “Catherine, you’re back.”
Needless to say, this middle-aged woman is Catherine’s adoptive mother, who, despite not having a very high level of education, has taught Catherine with great care and attention over the years.
“Mom, I’m back, how’s your health these days?”
