Chapter 497 I Dont Want To Like You Anymore (1/2)
”Your flower is about to bloom. Don't you want to have a look at it?” Jack said it in a low voice while looking at the flower tenderly, as if looking at someone through the flower itself.
But when the maid looked at his eyes, she only felt a kind of unspeakable sadness. She had a premonition that perhaps her young master's loved one would never come back.
”Give me the flower.” Jack suddenly broke the silence.
”Sure,” the maid replied respectfully. She carefully handed the flower pot over to Jack.
Jack held it with both hands preciously.
”When the flower blooms, you will come back, won't you?”
No one dared to respond to him. Only the cold wind whistled through the silence. But the small flower bud in the pot seemed not to be afraid of the cold. It shook with the wind, which looked adorable to Jack.
Jack touched the buds tenderly. A small smile curved on his face, but soon it faded away.
”Let's go,” Jack commanded his man.
”Yes, Mr. Jack.”
Jack took the pot of flower to the company. Nobody dared to ask and nobody dared to discuss about it either.
In the evening, at the Xu's Mansion.
Rita just lulled both her son and Beryl to bed, when David came back, exhausted and tired.
”Do you have any information about Emily, yet?” That was the first thing Rita always asked David every time he came home.
David finally showed a smile after all the sighs and the frowns she got every time she asked. ”Yes, we finally have some clues.”
Rita was so excited that she immediately caught David's arm. ”Is that true? Where is Emily now? Is she alright?”
”Don't get too excited, yet.” David was afraid that she would fall down because of the excitement, so he held her waist and helped her up. ”We just found something, but we are not very sure of it,” he confessed.
”Just tell me now!” Rita got so anxious that she could not stay still.
