There was a trace of shamelessness in his tone. Polly couldn't believe that he was able to make such a
statement. Did he really know how to write the word 'shame'?
Noticing that Polly didn't respond, Kevin thought Polly was thinking about this question. He became
more agitated.
"Dear Polly, I know it was all my fault. I made you sad. I promise, from now on, as long as you are
willing to be with me, I will treat you well. I will treat you better than Brian and Fabian! I have saved a lot
of money now. I learned a lot about business from the Li family and knew a lot of clients. I will use the
money to do my business. It may not go well at first, but we are still young and our life will be better and
better. I won't let you suffer. I will let our child receive the best education. Please trust me! "
"Kevin, I think you are thinking too much." "I've told you long ago that there's no way we can be
together anymore," said Polly in a calm voice
"Why not?" Kevin panicked and didn't know what to do. "I have money now. Although it's not enough
for Bruce and Owen, I can afford you. You won't suffer. Why don't you agree? "
"It's not about the money!" Actually, she wanted to ask that where did he get the money. Was it from
that Fanny? However, at this time, it was an extra issue to say these words.
"So what is it?"
"Do you marry Fanny for money, Kevin?"
Hearing that, Kevin became silent.
"You know we are not together for money. Why do you still use money to buy love? If she could buy
anything with money, does she have the money to buy the heart of yours? "
Two days later, Rachel went to A University and sent the special product she bought in South Seaside
to the dorm of Polly. At that time, Polly was helping his roommate, Fiona Lu packing. The dormitory
was in a mess and not even a place to stand up.
Fiona had been living outside with her boyfriend before. Now that she had broken up with him, she
didn't want to live in that place alone any longer. She moved back to her dormitory.
Although Polly had a good relationship with Fiona, it was not enough for her to make friends with Avril.
Perhaps it was because she had the same experience as Fiona, she told her all her grievances and
cried for a long time.
At last, they came to an agreement that no man in this world was a good man.
Polly saw Rachel off. She kept silent from the dorm to the school gate. She had so many questions to
ask Rachel, but she was afraid to speak them out.
Seeing that Rachel was about to get on the car. She finally got up the courage and asked, "Rachel, did
you have a good time in South Seaside?"
"Dear Polly, what are you talking about? I'm born to be a busy man. I'm not a playboy. I'm just running
errands for Bruce and Jean. " A hint of darkness flashed in her eyes. She suddenly smiled and said,
"Dear Polly? Sorry. I don't know how to speak. Don't think too much. He and Jean are just friends. "
"Well, I can't say that again! Well, it's so easy to understand, but I make it worse. Just ask him when he
comes back. I won't change my mind. "
"Do you mean that Bruce hasn't come back yet?" Polly was keenly aware of the meaning of her words.
"That's right. He wanted to come back with us. But Jean said Bruce would keep her company before
the party was over. They used to be the same. Bruce always takes care of Jean and never refuses her
requests. "
Like any other man, he didn't want to turn her down, but he didn't even give me a call. He turned off his
phone as he was afraid that she might interrupt them.
What a considerate man he was!
"When will he come back then?"
What was on Bruce's mind? Whether they were going to divorce or to maintain a peaceful relationship
as a couple, they must ask face to face. She would answer to the rumor about them on the Internet.
Their relationship couldn't be always like this.
This time, she made up her mind.
Rachel didn't answer. She walked back to Polly and took her hand. "Dear Polly! Are you angry?" This is
mainly because you have been with Bruce for too short a time. In fact, it is not easy to be Bruce's
girlfriend. You have to learn to be patient. He couldn't just think about love, his family, his work, and
some people he had to care about.
"I would have persuaded you if I knew you were going to date with Bruce. A man like him would never
belong to only one woman. You chose him, then you chose loneliness. "
Polly knew from her words that this was the last straw to crash her. "Rachel, do you also believe those
rumors on the Internet?"
"Of course I don't believe that. I know you well. We have known each other for more than ten years!
But does Bruce know about it? You haven't been with him for long! He was angry. No matter which man
would lose control of his emotions when facing such things! You don't know how many times I have
explained to him, but he still refused to believe me. " "Tell me the truth. Has Bruce kept his phone off
these days?"
"Yes.".
"I once persuaded him to make it clear to you, but he refused! And he even turned off his phone in front
of me and Jean! " Finishing her words, Rachel sighed deeply. "I didn't want to tell you this, because I
was afraid that you couldn't take it. But I don't think it's a good idea not to tell you. "
"I grew up with you. My home is next to yours! I've known how Owen has treated you since you were a
child. The day Owen left, she was heartbroken! From now on, you will live like a zombie, absent-
minded for a long time. I have witnessed all these. I trust you, but I have to ask you one more question.
Do you really have no feelings for him? Have you completely forgotten him? You are not the one who
will forget your love so easily! "
There was a long silence before she replied, "there was a time when I couldn't forget him anyway. It
was unbearable to remove the deepest feeling from the soul as if the man was a tattoo on the heart.
But... "
Rachel interrupted her in a loud voice, "I heard that you dated Kevin in order to forget Owen. So, after
you met Bruce, are you still thinking about him?"
"Yes. I didn't forget him in the beginning."
"You want to use Bruce as your tool, to forget Owen!" Rachel's tone suddenly became a little harsh.
Still immersed in sorrow, she didn't notice the subtle change.
"Dear Polly, have you ever thought about the reason why Bruce is angry? Maybe it's not because of
what happened on the Internet! He alienated you because he knew your love to Owen and he is
surrounded by the news about him! "
Polly called Bruce many times, but his phone was still powered off. She was vexed and called Aaron
after thinking a lot. He had always been on good terms with Bruce. If Bruce had come back, he should
have known it.
"Nice to meet you, sister-in-law." A gentle and polite voice of Aaron came from the phone.
"Aaron, I want to ask you if you have any information about Bruce," "Has he come back yet?" asked
Polly.
"Sorry, sister-in-law. I don't know. I have been busy with the family business these days, so I haven't
contacted Bruce. "
"Oh, I see."
Polly hung up the phone. Somehow, a sense of uneasiness rose in her heart. Why did he turn off his
phone? Was it just because he was angry with her? Would anything happen to him?
Suddenly, she remembered a popular gossip on the Internet.
When a person was replying your message slowly or not shortly, don't worry about what happened to
him. He was only accompanying the person who was more important than you or doing something
more important than you.
For example, he was now keeping company with a person much more important than her, Jean. His
eyes were full of Jean and he didn't have extra energy to pay attention to anyone else, including her.
Rachel told her that she was entertaining the guests in South Seaside, while Jean just dropped by.
How could he turn off his phone? Would a man who was obsessed with business neglect the possibility
of clients looking for him?
Although he had a capable assistant Jake, he was the president after all, and there were some things
that Jake couldn't decide. She had called him three times. Her phone was turned off. What she meant
was that she couldn't find him, neither could his clients, and even Jake.
'Maybe Jake should take a plane to South Seaside to meet him and report to him the situation of his
company, ' thought Polly.
He had been trying his best to spend more time only with her.
What can a man do to his beloved woman? Even though she was self willed, selfish and overbearing in
the eyes of everyone, he was willing to tolerate her shortcomings and arrange everything for her as
much as possible.
That was what the real love was.
But, he had been good to her. Was that all pretended?
It was not difficult to explain that as it was not pretended. In his words, it was a benefit for her to be his
girlfriend and marry him.
Why didn't she just understand it?
Fortunately, it was not too late.
But just because of this, she must have a talk with Bruce. After a brief thought, she called Hal and
asked him to keep an eye on how long Bruce would come back in A City.
Polly had been fretting the whole afternoon. She checked her phone from time to time. She was afraid
that she might miss the messages sent by Hal. Although he always called her and seldom sent her
messages. Maybe he would text her instead of calling her.
When she finally got home after school, one of her classmates told her that someone was looking for
her. At that time, her hands shivered and the books were all over the ground. She even didn't have time
to pack up her stuff and ran outside.
She was a little nervous. If it was Hal, he would call her directly instead of sending someone to look for
her. 'Does he have to talk with me face to face since he can't make it clear on the phone?
Halfway up the stairs, she saw the person who was looking for her. Her previous anxiety was like a cold
water, frozen at once.
Under the tree shade stood a man in his fifties. He looked neat and tidy in plain clothes, making him
look both comfortable and capable.
When the middle-aged man saw her, he showed a friendly smile and said politely, "is that Miss Han?
My lady invites you."
