Those eyes, like his.
Thinking of this, Ulric’s lips curled into a bitter, self-mocking smile.
He had come to Wayer City to forget Rosalind and start anew, but now, seeing a random child, he was reminded of her face.
His mother had said he was obsessed, and now he finally admitted it.
In the moment Ulric was lost in thought, the little girl had disappeared! Instinctively, he glanced around but saw no sign of her.
“I must be crazy.”
To have his attention captured by a little girl!
“Mr. Walters, what did you say?”
“Nothing, let’s go back to the hotel.” Ulric felt that today might not be the best day to be out; it was better to go back and rest. Otherwise, everyone he saw would remind him of that woman.
The driver, though somewhat puzzled, nodded compliantly. After all, he couldn’t go against the wishes of his employer.
“Alright, Mr. Walters.”
Ulric withdrew his gaze and turned to walk against the flow of the crowd.
The driver dutifully introduced the features of Wayer City, “Tomorrow morning you can go up the mountain; it won’t be too hot. The view from the top is great! Then in the afternoon, I can take you to a popular restaurant here for roasted leg; it’s delicious.”
“Okay.” Ulric bent down to get into the car and nodded in agreement.
He hadn’t taken a vacation for many years. Now that he suddenly had time, he didn’t know what to do with himself. Since he didn’t know, following the driver’s suggestions seemed like a good idea.
As the car started and gradually moved away from the night market, the driver chatted with Ulric about the local customs during a red light stop, smiling warmly.
Ulric listened attentively, nodding occasionally.
Suddenly-
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse outside the car window. The driver’s seat of the car next to them made his whole body stiffen and his blood run cold!
That profile… Ulric could never forget it and could never mistake it!
It was Rosalind.
It was her.
The person he had been searching for all this time was right here!
Seeing that the red light was about to end in three seconds, Ulric suddenly said to the driver, “Do you see that black Audi on the right?”
“I see it! It’s a new A4 model,” the driver replied, thinking Ulric was talking about the car model.
The next second, Ulric’s deep voice commanded,
“Crash into it.”
“What?!”
“Crash. I’ll buy your car.”
…
Rosalind couldn’t believe her bad luck!
There were hardly any people out in Wayer City at night, yet there were so many traffic lights!
In her hurry to get to the night market, she had hit over ten red lights. And if that wasn’t enough, she got hit by a careless driver!
Bang-
After a sharp noise, Rosalind felt her car shake. The dashboard indicated a malfunction.
She glanced in the rearview mirror and then got out of the car in exasperation.
“The road is so wide, and you still managed to hit me?”
“I’m so sorry! I was lost in thought!” The other driver immediately apologized upon getting out of the car, his attitude exceptionally good.
Rosalind felt awkward continuing to blame him.
She walked to the back to inspect her car. The damage was quite severe; the paint was chipped, and there were dents on the side.
Just as she was about to call her insurance company, the other driver smiled and quickly said, “I’ll cover all the repair costs; no need to involve insurance! Please give me your phone number so I can transfer the money to you later.”
