These insignificant people were more excited than the people involved. But the people involved
returned to the mountain after the matter ended, staying away from the filth and unrest world.
Kent woke up early in the morning and greeted the men who were having breakfast. He threw them
bunch of slingshot, “Go find a wild animal to barbecue tonight.”
The five of them stared at the rough and rotten thing in their hands with suspicion, “With just using
this?”
Kent said, “it’s easy to use this to catch birds and rabbits. If you can hit a wild boar with it, now that’s
amazing.”
“Sure, I’m not afraid,” Damon snorted.
Annie climbed onto the chair and hung on Kent’s neck, “I want to go too.”
“You’re so small. Be care of being taken away by wolf,” Kent frightened her.
“No way. If I’m taken away by wolf, dad will beat your asses.” The little thing wasn’t afraid at all and
took out her weapon.
Nate teased her, “Call me uncle and this uncle will protect you.”
Annie giggled, “A brother should have protected his sister, right?”
James rubbed Nate’s head, “Little Nate, just follow us. These uncles will protect you.”
Luke also said, “That’s right, little Nate. If you follow the princess, we’ll protect you together.”
The villa turned into chaotic mess of chasing.
Olive had a headache looking at the group of lunatics, while Alan sat leisurely at dining table and drank
his coffee. It was a rare moment for him to hold a laptop watching a Western movie, as if last night was
nothing but an episode in life; an episode of not much emotional fluctuation. Unlike those men who had
their weights off their mind after avenging.
She knew that he had actually waited for this day for a long time. It wasn’t that he didn’t feel it, but this
process made him predict the future. And he was able to face this result calmly at this moment.
It was just…
“Are you really not going home to see your mother?”
After the Meyer Family was taken away last night, Mrs. Hoyle wanted her son to go home very much.
But he hurriedly dropped a word in front of everyone, “When you accept my wife and daughter
sincerely, I’ll bring them home together.”
Then he took her hand and carried her daughter, walking away. She was a little afraid to look at Mrs.
Hoyle’s disappointed face.
“Hey, I’m being serious here.” Olive saw him not responding, so she shook her hand before his eyes.
Alan didn’t even look up, “Do you think I was joking with my mom? Whenever she agrees to accept
you, I’ll go back anytime.”
Accept her? He better forgot about it. No matter how, Mrs. Hoyle was also an elder and she also had
abducted Mrs. Hoyle’s son.
She also admitted that in order to fight for a sigh of relief, it wasn’t that she never had a thought to act.
But, after what happened last night, she suddenly felt that Mrs. Hoyle was actually just a lonely mother.
A person couldn’t calculate too much. As long as Mrs. Hoyle could take one step, she was willing to
take the remaining ninety-nine steps for the man in front of her who loved her deeply.
What was more, when Mrs. Hoyle called herself as Annie’s grandmother in public last night, it could be
seen that there was a sign that the old woman’s heart had loosened up to the mother and daughter.
Although she was fierce towards her, she was clearly worried. It was true and she didn’t doubt it.
Maybe Chloe should nag her again. A petty favor made her give up her weapon and surrender. But she
thought she shouldn’t be sullen. When it was the time to accept, she had to accept. Otherwise, if the
two of them were eager to confront each other, then it wasn’t good no matter who fell.
“Hey, aren’t you guys sick being together and whispering sweet nothings every day? Let’s go hunting
together.”
Alan closed his laptop gently, “No, we have another place to go.”
After going down the mountain, the car drove into the city after passing a wide field.
There had been some changes in Jiangcheng six years ago and six years later. The once-familiar
streets had more new faces and some the frequently visited shops were no longer visible.
It was still so prosperous. Everybody still walked in a hurry. The passersby were all over the place and
the traffic was endless.
This was a paradise for young people to chase their dreams, and it was also a magic capital for the
disappointed wanderers. There used to be her footprints here, chasing her dream and ending her
innocent age at the same time.
She didn’t have time to take a closer look yesterday, but today she could finally lie against the car
window and enjoy it along the road. The wind lifted her long hair and it fluttered, blowing a stronger
heat in Luo City.
Alan pulled her head back in, “The sun is so hot. You’re not afraid of tanning your face?”
“You still have to accept me even if I get tanned,” Olive chuckled and continued to look at the city
scenery.
As the car passed through most of the city, the destination was still unknown. Olive couldn’t beat her
curiosity and asked him, “Where are we going?”
“Preparing to sell you.”
“Tsk!” It wasn’t like she was a three-year-old kid who could be bluffed. Even Annie couldn’t be bluffed
anymore. Thinking of her daughter, Olive felt that the little thing had changed since she had a father.
She was getting better at stressing her. She also didn’t know who she got her bravery and wildness
from.
“You’ll know when you get there.”
“You’re making things complicated again.”
The appearance of how both mother and daughter pursed their lips was like almost carved out of the
same mold. His two sweethearts. Alan smiled contentedly.
Olive actually liked his man’s any time small surprises, so she could only wait patiently.
At the crossroads, while the traffic light was red and the car stopped for a while, Alan blindfolded her
eyes.
“What do you want to do?” Olive became more curious.
Alan kissed her lips and said against her ear, “I’ll reveal the secret in ten minutes. You can take a nap
first.”
“Fine. I don’t care if I really fall asleep.” That was what she said, but she was excited. There was no
way she could fall asleep.
Her vision was black and she couldn’t tell the direction, but she could still feel the car turned several
times and finally stopped at a certain place.
She wanted to remove the blindfold, but he stopped her hands. “Sit still.”
Fine. She was about to know the answer anyway. So she sat still.
Alan got out of the car and walked around it. He arrived at her side and pulled the car door, then carried
her.
Olive unconsciously put her hands around his shoulders. “Mr. Hoyle, what game are you playing?”
“Feed you to the sharks.”
“Do you have the heart to do it?”
Of course not, he was just teasing her.
Olive felt the movement of his steps. It was about ten steps away, then he gently put her down.
“Sit still,” he said to her ear.
“Can I take off the blindfold now?”
“Be patient.”
Her ears seemed to pick up the sound of water. Were they on a boat? It seemed that something hit her
arms. It was itchy, but not painful.
She stretched out her hands to feel it and felt a felt a large are of something moist and smooth, like a
leaf.
Her nose caught a faint fragrance, which was a familiar smell.
The corners of Olive’s mouth curled up into a smile.
The sliding feeling under her stopped. Alan walked to her, “Have you guessed where this is?”
“Lotus pond.”
“It seems that I’ve failed a little because you guessed it right.” Alan chuckled and took off her blindfold.
The boat had reached the center of the lotus pond. She looked around. The green and crisp lotus
leaves connected with the blue sea. Small waves were rolling because of the wind. The lotuses poked
their heads out of the leaves, blossoming and dotted like stars and swaying their most beautiful figure.
“Wow, beautiful!” Olive put her nose close to one of them and sniffed it lightly. Then she suddenly
remembered something, she turned around and asked him, “Isn’t it a real estate agent is going to
develop a plaza here? It’s still here.”
“That was two years ago. How do you know?”
“My classmates told me. They thought it was a pity.”
“Just be honest and say that you can’t let me go, so you keep paying attention to everything here.”
Olive snorted, “You even see through this too.”
Alan smiled and embraced her, “But you can rest assured now. I’ve obtained the right to develop this
land. This place has memory of us. How can I destroy such beautiful place?”
He didn’t tell her that the developer who wanted to fill this place was the property under the name of the
Meyer. It was done purposely by Ophelia. But how could he let that woman destroy this place which full
of his memory?
The hood was set up on the boat to block the direct sunlight. Some of the huge lotus leaves were
higher than the boat. They were like a natural barrier, blocking the blazing sun. It was extremely cool to
be hidden underneath.
Olive simply laid down on the boat, “Do you still remember? When I brought you here for a nap, yet you
accidentally fell off the boat.”
“Why do you say that? You purposely dropped me into the water at that time.” Alan saw through her.
He didn’t know whether he should be angry or cry when he thought of it.
Olive also didn’t deny, “Who asked you to look miserable the whole day? I was originally a sunny and
beautiful young girl, following you was like having a rain on top of my head every day. If I didn’t wash
away the haze from your body, I would be so sorry to myself.”
“Aren’t you afraid you’d drown me? You little thing, how dare you to tease me?” Alan laid down on his
side and pinched her nose.
“Ouch. My nose is about to fall off,” Olive exclaimed, reaching out her hand to rub her nose. “How could
I let you be the flowers’ fertilizer? Even if there were sirens inside the lotus pond, I wouldn’t let them
even if they wanted you.”
Alan’s low laugh had a hint of affection, “Was it very hard at that time? You were busy earning money
every day and you had to take care of me who had the worst temper.”
“I had no other choice. Who asked you to be a madman? I had no choice to be very generous and let
you off a bit.” Although time had caused her to experience sadness, she had found her light and playful
tone when she came back here.
“I’m that petty?” Alan rolled over and the boat swayed on the water, as if it might turned over at any
time.
Falling into the water at this time was not a fun thing. Olive yelped, but it was just a false alarm. She
looked up and saw his face was close. The fragrance of the lotus floated in the air was mixed with her
man’s scent. She raised her hands to surrender.
“Okay, okay. You’re not, it’s me.”
“Close your eyes.”
