Brayden turned off his cell phone when he left Leon’s house, and after days of struggling with himself, he decided he had to let go of his current affairs first, that he needed to find a place where no one knew him, that he needed to be by himself to lick the pain caused by the people he loved most …
He took care of everything in the company so that Kirkland Group could function without him for a few days. These days, he was constantly fighting with the loneliness in his heart, he was so tired, and in such loneliness, he couldn’t help but recall the beach that had accompanied him throughout his childhood and the sea of memories filled with his mother’s beautiful murmurs.
Instead of driving, he took a bus and drove to the place. He opened the bus window and the towering buildings blocked out half of the sun’s face. The clouds at the edge of the day were tinted a pale orange by the fading sunset.
Inexpressible helplessness and confusion like a tidal wave towards him, like a stormy night, the madness of the rain slapped on him recklessly, and like the feeling of being swept by the cold rain all over …
He got out of the car, quietly lit a cigarette, misty smoke, Brayden froze, he thought of his lovely child … the Dolly who used to be very much in love with him, the past he knew so well, seemed to be taking off a beautiful mask to reveal, is completely strange now, nowadays.
Jayden. the name was always in his mind, lingering like a terrible nightmare, those heartbreaking photos, a sharp weapon to pierce the beauty, he wanted to believe in his wife’s innocence, but lost to reality, Dolly, are you really betraying me?
Betrayal … Brayden suddenly felt where something was wrong, momentarily forgetting the lit cigarette in his hand, blue smoke roaming down his throat into his two lungs. He could not care about the cigarette, after a few coughs, had he been deep in the matter of Dolly and Jayden two people?
Rumors, photos … all from the mouths of others, hands out, Dolly to these and not to him to defend what, he just think she is in default, she is hurting him?
Because of rumors and photos, he has been constantly questioning Dolly, never heard her explain anything to him, he misunderstood, she was silent, the two have been trapped in this deadly cycle of emotional problems, they torture each other, hurt each other, the most benefit is not Jayden?
That in order to pursue Dolly by any means, he is now afraid of hiding where to snicker, he thought he could destroy the relationship without much effort ah, themselves and Dolly quarrel, the relationship between the couple, it seems to have been in line with that person’s plan in the gradual disintegration.
In fact, his target should be Jayden, who is always thinking about Dolly. He thought of the punch he swung at Jayden’s face in the hospital that day, and regretted why he didn’t hit him harder, so that the ill-intentioned person could no longer think of any way to ruin someone’s relationship.
The azure water lapped at the reefs along the coast, splashing up in bursts, wave after wave, the water fluttering in mid-air, swinging lightly, then falling back into the arms of the waves.
He hadn’t seen the coast at night yet. As a child, he would only go for walks on the beach with his mother in the late afternoon and early morning, and as a child, he always felt unhappy and complained that he had no freedom and no human rights, and his mother reassured him, “Everything you learn now is to make your path better in the future.”
This said more, of course, he found it annoying, and then did not bother to listen to his mother, who came up with a solution, as long as Brayden was not happy, she would take him to see the sea, and he left a neat row of footprints on the beach together.
“There are many things in the world, but there is only one sea, whether it is now or in the future, what we see, is the same sea, everything in the world may change, but it, will never change, it is here as long as you want to see it.”
These words of his mother have accompanied him for many years, walking with him through the barren desert, the cold and extremely cold zone … leading him to the oasis again and again. Now the mother is also old, there is no way to walk with him on the shore, but the mother said the sea, has always been here.
Escape can never solve the problem, these days he has not been in contact with Leon and them, but also thanks to him and Skyler two big night dragged him back from the bar, Dolly, himself has not been to see her for a long time, he said at the time is to go to the company to deal with some things, the result of so long did not come to see her, Dolly will think it.
And Orion, so many things happened, he is actually the most sorry is Orion, he as a child of two living parents, born in a harmonious family, deserve to be loved by all, but because of the conflict between the parents, was placed in a nursing home, this solution, Dolly came up with a compromise, but no one has thought, for Orion, is it fair But no one thought about whether it was fair for Orion or not.
He was just a child who didn’t know how to handle things, but he paid for the conflict between his parents. In fact, both he and Dolly are not qualified parents, how can they raise a child when they themselves are not handling their own affairs? They are not happy themselves, how can they make this child feel happy?
On the other hand, Dolly, she has been pondering the meaning of Jayden’s words, Jayden said Brayden will not be easy for her to find, he also said that Brayden just go out for a walk, but City M this small and large places, she can think of where he will go, she has searched all over, have not seen Brayden’s figure.
Puzzled, Dolly went to Mr. and Mrs. Otto’s place, and she bought tonic for the two elderly people, which made her visit seem very sincere.
Originally the Otto’s were very fond of Dolly, but ever since Dolly and Gu Wang quarreled, Dolly seldom came here and rarely visited them both, and Dolly’s visit this time made them feel like a rare guest.
Otto thought they had made up and asked, “Dolly, why isn’t Brayden here with you?”
Dolly smiled awkwardly: “He’s been busy with work lately and can’t come over.” Said up and affectionately pulled Talia’s arm: “Mom, he has been too busy lately, so I want to take him for a break, but City M basically we have been all over, really can’t think of any other good places …”
And to not move to ask to Brayden’s former favorite place, but also to not let the two elderly people on her said suspicion, Dolly finally used a set of such sayings.
