Chapter 428: The Secret in the Box
Pheobe Wilson looked at me for a moment, frowned, and said, “Have you thought about it?”
“Thought about it.”
Hadn’t thought about it before.
Thinking it over now, too.
Staying here, with Jane Hasis worrying about me every day, and me having to be wary of Walker Richter finding out my secret, it would be better to just leave and go for a walk.
“Next Monday, if you really want to, then together.” Pheobe Wilson said, “It’s good for getting well over there, and maybe if you go, this sickness will come naturally.”
I didn’t expect this illness to get better.
After having dinner with Pheobe Wilson, I was about to get up when her cell phone rang, it was a message alert, she glanced at it and said to me, “Alva, time is still early, let’s go out for a walk, to go to the south, you have to prepare some things don’t you, it just so happens that there’s a mall in front of us, let’s go for a stroll.”
“Okay.”
I don’t want to go back so early either.
The eating place to the mall is only a few hundred meters, we did not drive, choose to walk.
It was going to be New Year’s Eve, the streets were very cold, all of them had already returned to their hometowns for the New Year.
“Alva, what will happen to the company when you leave?”
“I’ll leave it to Hilli.” I said, “She has experience in managing a company, as long as she can ensure my mom and Bella Hill’s life, it’s enough.”
Martin Mo’s health is also slowly recovering and everything is running to a good day.
“It seems that you didn’t do this on the spur of the moment, you’ve been planning this for a long time.” Pheobe Wilson stopped and asked me, “Alva, have you ever thought of taking advantage of these last days to reunite with the people you love, otherwise, you will feel regret even at the last moment.”
I don’t want to see the sadness and reluctance in Walker Richter’s and sweetheart’s eyes at the last moment, regret maybe, but at least I don’t have to face it personally, I don’t have to watch my favorite people leave and be helpless.
“I will tell everyone to go out, traveling, and so long, slowly fade away, even if still remember, when things really can not hide, will not be too sad.”
After the words fell, my heart suddenly sank, I remembered Yao Mubai.
Wang Yuan told me that he went on a trip, Yao Mubai left quietly, Wang Yuan said he went to Tibet, who knows where people go?
Just then, a lot of people gathered in the square in front of us, I don’t know what they were doing, probably having some kind of activity.
Pheobe Wilson glanced that way and said, “Alva, let’s go over there and take a look too.”
“Forget it, there are too many people.” I didn’t want to make a scene.
“Alva, look, is that picture of you up there.” Pheobe Wilson pointed to a balloon that someone had released in the plaza, and underneath it hung a very large picture of exactly what I looked like.
Before I could figure out what was going on, Pheobe Wilson was already pulling me up toward the square.
She pushed her way through the crowd, and in the middle of the open space, Walker Richter was standing in a star-shaped pattern of red roses, holding a bouquet of flowers, standing straight up, and as I pushed my way out of the crowd, he looked my way with a smile on his face, and the scrolling LED display behind him was playing all the little bits and pieces of our past, many of which I didn’t know when he had taken them.
My eyes welled up as I looked at the pictures and remembered the happy moments of the past.
Pheobe Wilson laughed and pushed me, “Why are you still standing there, go over there.”This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
It turned out that the message Pheobe Wilson received was sent to her by Walker Richter, who deliberately swindled me here.
“Alva,” Walker Richter took two steps forward and walked in front of me, his face was a warm smile and his gaze was sincere, he said, “I’m not good at expressing myself, I love you, I’m going to marry you, I’ll spend my life to take care of you and give you happiness, Alva, give me another one more chance.”
He proposed to me with the simplest, most straightforward words.
There was nothing fancy at all about the confession that brought tears to my eyes.
All around me were voices of coaxing.
“Say yes to him, such a handsome looking man, if you don’t marry, we can.”
“That’s right, even if you’re handsome, you’re still so affectionate, it’s the rarest of rare.”
Walker Richter suddenly kneeled down on one knee and took out a pigeon egg diamond ring.
Behind him, there was a sound of sucking and envy.
Walker Richter gave me many precious things, he had almost given me all of his fortune before, a man willing to give a hundred billion dollars of his fortune to a woman, it means that this woman is all he has.
His love for me, no doubt.
I have long been in tears, Pheobe Wilson beside me said, “Why are you still frozen, quickly agree ah, don’t do things that make you regret, life is short, only strive for the night.”
Life is short.
But once I said yes, how sweet it is today, to the day I left this world, Walker Richter how painful it will be.
Looking into Walker Richter’s sincere and expectant eyes, I stepped back, “I can’t promise you.”
Leaving these words behind, I ran away crying.
At that moment I hated God for being so cruel to me.
“Alva.”
Walker Richter caught up.
I cried and stood at the traffic light and yelled at him, “Who wants to marry you, who wants you to propose, I told you before, I don’t love you, you’re making a fool of yourself and you want to morally kidnap me, Walker Richter, don’t forget what you did to me, it’s good enough that I don’t hate you, I’m not going to marry you, go and choose someone else, there are plenty of women who would like to marry you, you’ll have a much better life. You’ll have a better life.”
“But there’s only one Alva Hill in the world,” Walker Richter pressed on, his eyes burning, “Alva Hill, there’s only one you that I, Walker Richter, have ever wanted to marry.”
I cried and shook my head and looked at him, my heart was in my throat, Pheobe Wilson was standing not far away, she looked at me, she was hoping that I would say yes to Walker Richter, I glanced at her and eventually ran away.
Walker Richter, I’m sorry, I can’t marry you.
Since it’s all over, let’s call it a day and not dwell on it.
I stopped a cab and left, calling Pheobe Wilson, begging her in a shaky voice, “Pheobe, help me keep this from him, don’t tell him, I’m begging you, don’t tell her.”
“… Okay.”
“Thanks.”
Get her answer, I was relieved, leaning against the car window has been constantly crying, to the end of the bawling, the master driving the car scared: “Girl, you are all right, is not a lost love? I am the past, I tell you ah, this person ah a lifetime long it, don’t be sad for a little thing in front of you, when you look back five years later these love ah, are not worth mentioning the smallest thing.”
A long life?
But I don’t have the next five years anymore.
I covered my face and cried, wiped my tears, and said sadly, “I won’t live long, I won’t live long.”
“Huh?”
The Master thought I was going to kill myself and advised me bitterly along the way.
After returning to the Hill family, I didn’t dare to enter the house; I dried my tears and tiptoed into the house by pushing open the door, not daring to wake Jane Hasis.
This night, I lost sleep, all I could think of was the image of Walker Richter proposing to me, every word he said kept replaying in my mind.
I suddenly remembered the gift box that Yao Murong gave me on the eve night of the wedding, I pulled open the drawer and took it out, if it wasn’t for the fact that he wasn’t around anymore, I guess I would have never opened this box in my life, and I would have never known the secret inside.
