I went to see Arthur this afternoon, so I delayed some work. I finished all the work. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was evening when I looked up again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although I couldn’t see the sun at this angle of the office, I could see the golden sunset in the sky. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked down. It was over seven. It was more than an hour after work. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I clocked out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I stood in the elevator and wanted to go home for dinner and bath. Then I was going to the hospital with my laptop to see Sherry, and I was going to continue with the design. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When the elevator opened, I thought of him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Did he leave? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He must have left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I guessed he wouldn’t wait for me here for more than two hours. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I went out with my bag. As soon as I got to the door, I saw the black car parked there. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But all its windows were closed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t see Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Was it just the same car? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As I comforted myself, I saw the door open. Sean got out of the car. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was wearing the suit he was wearing in the afternoon. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Did he wait for me here for two hours? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was in a trance for a moment. I thought I was his wife a long time ago. Daniell had a drink that day and had a stomach bleed. Sean and I took him to the hospital. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I spent the night with Daniell at the hospital. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I came out and saw Sean waiting for me in the car. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He waited for me all night. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I was wandering, he had come to me. He smiled and looked at me. “What are you thinking? What would you like to eat at night?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Huh?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean’s eyes were full of smiles. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He didn’t seem to mind waiting for me so long. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at him for a long time and said, “I listen to you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Maybe I should talk to Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We couldn’t do that. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean took me to the top floor of a restaurant. But instead of sitting in the box, we sat on the balcony. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
All the lights were on. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was not too hot in April. The wind was cool. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean asked me to order. I still said, “I listen to you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The dishes were served soon. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It had to be said that these dishes were delicious. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After we finished, the main course was removed. I looked up at Sean and said, “let’s talk.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Try this. This dessert is delicious. We didn’t order it last time.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean interrupted me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His expression was very gentle, but I thought he seemed to deliberately not let me talk. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked down at the Matcha cake in front of me and took a bite. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was first bitter and then sweet. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was like my relationship with Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In retrospect, it seemed that every step was pain and scar, but I could remember some good memories. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I just took a bite and went on, “President Jessop, if I remember correctly, you said you’d be with Molly all your life. Now you are going to marry her. It’s good. If you pester me, she will be sad.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean was silent. He looked down at the dessert in front of him and didn’t move. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“President Jessop, I don’t know if you want to fall in love with us at the same time. Anyway, you’re going to marry Molly, so you can’t socialize with me. I’m busy every day now.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The secret of Sherry’s operation, my case and the design competition. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Everything was enough to spend all my energy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I really didn’t want to deal with Sean anymore. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean still didn’t speak. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“President Jessop…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“June, I just want to see you all the time.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After a long silence, Sean finally spoke. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I didn’t understand. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He didn’t love me or like me or miss me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He just wanted to see me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In fact, if other men said this, I thought he liked me. But in front of Sean, I dared not to hope. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at him and said, “I understand. President Jessop is afraid that I am too close to your uncle. You’re afraid I’ll be with other men. You can rest assured that I will not.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Stay away from him. He’s not as simple as you think.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean immediately became serious when it came to Ming. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I just nodded, “I know it. But this time Carter Family sued me. I came to him just to protect myself.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why don’t you come to me? I have the best team of lawyers.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There was some dissatisfaction in his tone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He seemed to be angry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I found his words ridiculous. I looked at him and said, “if Molly’s family or she frame me, will you help me fairly?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean didn’t speak. I answered for him, “No. You will threaten me to withdraw or you will help her firmly.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I will help you fairly.” Sean explained. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Really?” I listened to him and sneered, “President Jessop, have you forgotten why we got divorced?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although our relationship was very bad at the beginning, it had been eased. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I remembered Sean getting hurt for me when I was kidnapped by Gina. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If it wasn’t Molly, maybe now we… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I clenched my fist and reminded myself not to think about the past. I had more pain than beauty. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I could only think of good things when I recalled them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I will not…” Sean’s eyelids drooped slightly as he spoke. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He seemed to be hiding his guilt. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Even if I was stupid, I knew. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“President Jessop, I’m full. Thank you for your hospitality. I’m leaving.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was leaving with my bag. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean got up and wanted to drive me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I knew I couldn’t refuse him so agreed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He parked at the community gate and walked with me into the community. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We walked on the winding stone road and didn’t speak. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said goodbye to him downstairs and I went upstairs. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I took a bath and changed clothes when I got home. I packed up and wanted to go to the hospital. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After all, Sherry was still in a coma. She may wake up at any time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin and Jessica were definitely not in the hospital. I was afraid she would wake up with no one around and felt lonely. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I packed up and went downstairs. As soon as I got downstairs, I saw a person sitting on the flower bed not far away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There was a little light in the night. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It seemed to be a lit cigarette. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
