Chapter 32: Autumn Raindrops
Aurora pressed the car horn so hard that it almost broke, but Harvey still didn’t budge, so she immediately got out of the car and ran forward, hitting his car’s windshield.
Just now, when she arrived at Samson’s house, she was both sad and angry at Harvey because he went to dinner with another girl, but when she knew the truth, she stopped being angry. But now he angered her again.
– What’s up? Harvey lowered the windshield and asked as if he knew nothing.
– Don’t you see my car? Didn’t you hear me honking the horn? What’s wrong with you? Aurora asked urgently.
– How many minutes did you wait to yell like that? Do you know how long I stood in front of your gate last night? I didn’t dare sleep all night because I was afraid something would happen to you, but you said it as if I was worrying too much.
Harvey’s voice faded and then fell silent. He also didn’t know why Aurora’s indifferent attitude made him so uncomfortable.
– Are you taking revenge on me? Are you so angry with me that you have to take revenge on me?
The windshield was quickly pulled up, and the car also moved.
Aurora sighed, looking at the car moving away. Jack’s sudden death still haunts her from this morning until now. If only she could tell him about this right now, her mood would be less heavy.
Aurora left Samson’s house, drove straight to the familiar bus stop, and sat there, no longer paying attention to the coming rain.
She always happened to meet Harvey here when she broke up with her boyfriend, so she secretly thought that this place had magic that would cause him and her to meet.
She didn’t have the courage to call him.
Her eyes seemed to be no longer able to see anything because her tears had erased everything.
She no longer paid attention to anything around her, even when someone came to sit right next to her, she didn’t know.
– Don’t cry anymore. It’s okay if you know your mistake.
A familiar voice spoke up, making Aurora’s heart skip a beat. The miracle happened again and he appeared.
She shyly took the white handkerchief from his hand and wiped away the tears streaming down her face.
– Why do you keep blaming me? What is my fault? She asked while sobbing.
– You are at fault with yourself. That man…
– He died. She spoke up, interrupting him.
– What?
– Traffic accident, just this morning. When he left, I cursed him because he had drugged me.
– It’s not your fault, no one dies because someone cursed them.
His words comforted Aurora a lot. Maybe he’s right.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Humans have continuously cursed vampires. But in the end, Harvey still lived for thousands of years, he was still young, handsome, had a position in society, and drank blood every day, without any harm.
Life and death surely depend on each person’s fate and his fate is destined to be immortal.
Lightning flashed like tree roots standing out against the dark sky and pouring rain.
No one urged anyone to go home, they just sat next to each other and watched the rain fall. No matter how bustling the city is, when it rains, it becomes sad.
The traffic became less frequent and the figures of people running quickly became a very familiar image in Harvey’s eyes every time it rained.
– We should go home, we have to sleep so we can go to work tomorrow, right? Aurora glanced at the watch in her hand and said.
– Okay, let’s go home.
Harvey quickly took off his vest and used it to cover Aurora as she walked to the car. At this moment, they looked like a couple.
She felt his masculine scent lingering around her. She wished she could stay close to him for the rest of her life, not just for a moment.
Before sitting in the driver’s seat, Aurora suddenly turned her head, causing the distance between their faces to become very close, and she felt the warm breath from the man blowing on her face.
– Thank you. Good night.
– Goodnight.
When Aurora left, Harvey no longer protected himself from the rain, he just stood silently under the white water curtain for a long time.
During the past two thousand years, Aurora was the first girl to say she loved him. If he says he doesn’t have any feelings for her, he’s lying.
Her life is short so he doesn’t want her to waste her youth and time on him.
He understood the endless loneliness of a vampire and he did not want to create an innocent creature so that his child would suffer the same situation as him.
Besides, he also has no right to prohibit Aurora’s motherhood if he accepts to be her boyfriend and her husband.
Even though he’s a vampire, his heart is no different from a human’s. It’s not like he can fall in love with another woman after a hundred years have passed.
If that happens, it’s just a rare thing.
At the same time, in the old forest, Maris was also lying on a tree branch, immersed in the rain.
Every time she lay in the rain, the torment in her heart eased a little.
Under the tree, the loyal owls still hid in the bushes and kept watch for their owner because they thought she had fallen asleep.
Maris and Harvey can freely express their sadness, but Samson cannot because he is with Lucasta.
No matter how sad he was, he couldn’t let her see.
Next to the glass window, Lucasta leaned her head against Samson and watched the rain fall with him.
She missed the forest and the castle, too. She missed the flock of owls and the mushroom mounds that she used to visit and pick mushrooms every afternoon.
– Oh. I suddenly recalled something very important.
Lucasta quickly sat up straight and looked at Samson, her eyes were glued to his eyes and her mouth was smiling.
Thanks to the dinner with Calantha, she had a way to help him no longer feel confused about this strange eye color.
– What’s up? Samson asked in surprise.
– From now on, you can go out with me without having to wear dark glasses anymore. Today, I discovered that Calantha’s brown eyes have turned a ruby color like yours. When I asked her, she said she wore colored contact lenses.
Samson’s face turned stupid when he heard about that kind of glasses. He only knows about glasses with frames.
He did not expect that in just thirty years, people would invent such wonderful glasses.
Turns out, the ruby eyes that he always hated are the fashion style of today’s youth.
Lucasta suddenly remembered that earlier, Calantha had given her some pairs of colored contact lenses, so she immediately ran into the room and searched.
A moment later, she came back and happily performed a magic trick of changing eye color for Samson to see.
She changed her irises to yellow, then purple, then red, and finally one red eye and one yellow eye.
– Do I look beautiful? She looked at Samson and asked.
– No. You look like a vampire. I prefer your original blue eyes. He shook his head, disapproving.
– Well, while we were eating, Calantha also said Harvey was like a vampire. At that time, he even dropped his fork.
She innocently told Samson and put the contact lenses back in the box. She did not know that insecurity was gradually rising in Samson’s heart.
He felt regretful because he asked Harvey to take her there.
– How did Harvey answer her?
– He said he was indeed a vampire, and he told the waiter to give him a glass of fresh blood.
– What? Samson opened his eyes wide and looked at Lucasta, his voice was also louder than usual.
Seeing his urgent expression, Lucasta held her stomach and laughed so hard. It took about five minutes before she tried to hold back her laughter to tell him the funny story.
– The waiter also had the same expression as you. He kept asking over and over and even asked if Harvey used chicken blood or pig blood. When Harvey said he wanted to drink human blood, Calantha jumped up and explained to everyone that Harvey was joking.
At this time, Samson breathed a sigh of relief. His little blonde girl knew how to make others curious about the story she was telling.
He admitted that he could not compare to Harvey in handling situations. A person who is two thousand years old and a person who is a thousand years old is really very different.
– Brother, are vampires real? I didn’t know about it until Calantha invited me to see a vampire movie. She bought three tickets but her younger brother had an unexpected work schedule so she invited me to go with her.
– Go to bed early, you have to go to the company tomorrow. Samson patted Lucasta on the shoulder and said.
– I’m not sleepy yet, I want to watch the rain for a while longer.
She swooped towards him and sought his familiar warmth.
Suddenly remembered that while having a meal, Calantha had to go out to answer her father’s phone call, so Lucasta also really wanted to know where her and Samson’s parents’ graves were.
When she was a child, she only asked about them once. After he said they were gone, she didn’t ask any more questions.
He took good care of her, so she always felt full and never lacked love.
– Brother, where are our parents buried? She took his hand, turned it upside down, used her finger to draw a few lines on it, and asked.
– Ah… ah… I scattered their ashes into the sea. – He hesitantly said.
-Why did they pass away?
– Ill.
– Samson, you are not allowed to get sick. I don’t want to lose you.
Lucasta’s voice dropped and she snuggled her head closer to him. She was very afraid that one day he would get sick and die.
She didn’t want him to turn into ashes and disappear into the ocean waves.
If anyone asked her what she didn’t want to lose the most, she would answer that it was her brother.
– Don’t worry, I will live a long time, a thousand years, two thousand years. I won’t die. He caressed her hair and comforted her.
– Are you a vampire? If you live until then, will you grow fangs and drink human blood? She sat up straight and looked at him with wide eyes.
– If… if I really turned into a vampire, would you be afraid of me?
– If you are a vampire, then I am also a vampire. We’ll both be afraid of each other, right?
While Lucasta laughed happily, Samson was sad in his heart. She was so naive that she couldn’t tell whether his question was sincere or joking.
Perhaps, he was too greedy and expected too much from her. When she saw that the worm was a little big, she screamed loudly, let alone seeing a vampire.
No matter how great love is, it cannot overcome fate when he and she are two different species. Furthermore, he knew that the feelings she had for him were brother and sister feelings, not the same as him.
He didn’t know when but his heart called her name every night.
