Chapter 225 - Taking her side (1/2)

Sara had guessed it. She had suspected something was up with her father and Changyu. But hearing her admit it like this, she looked at Changyu in surprise and sat up immediately. Changyu's head was still thrown to the side and didn't bother to look at Sara as she admitted it.

This woman. This powerful woman loved her father?

Sara didn't know what else to ask. And she had to be careful in order not to ask something that would make Changyu to stop talking.

It was as if Changyu knew she was at a loss for words because she suddenly turned to look at Sara with a sad smile.

”It's all in the past. Just a teenage love and that was it. Apparently, he loved your mother.”

Sara took note of the sadness in her voice.

She felt there was something wrong somewhere.

If it was as simple as that, then why was everyone beating around the bush?

Jianjun could have just said Changyu liked him back then and that was all. Why did both of them have to lie about it?

”What about now? Do you....still like him?”

Sara didn't like to assume. She could have just easily assumed that Changyu wouldn't like someone like her father now. She was rich. She was powerful and influential. Her father on the other hand was far below her in the social ranking.

He ran a small unknown restaurant and he also didn't want to be in the spotlight.

He only fancied a simple and quiet life.

It was why he had refused to expand his business or work in a bigger place despite the offers he had received from people.

Sara had to hear it directly from Changyu to be sure. She was sure the woman still liked her father. It was probably why she was nice to her.  Also why she had collapsed in front of their home.

Changyu crossed her arms in front of her chest leisurely. She was now looking less emotional than a few minutes ago.

”It would be crazy for me to still like him. How could you possibly still like someone after he rejected you for another? That would be crazy wouldn't it?”

Sara relaxed her body on the chair and looked at Changyu as she spoke.

Was the woman indirectly calling herself crazy?

”It might be crazy. But people do crazy things when it comes to love. For some reason.... I think my father must have liked you also”

Changyu laughed before lifting her coffee mug to have a sip.

”I'm serious. I'm sure he must have liked you also. I saw how worried he was when you collapsed in front of our apartment. And I believe —”

”Weren't you worried also? What about your aunt? Wasn't your aunt and everyone in the house worried when they saw me? My dear, it's a normal reaction everyone gets when they see something like that. No one would want another person to die in their house.”

Sara was quiet.

She bit her lips and looked down at her own coffee.

She was being pulled to this woman. The force was strong. She felt her father must have been pulled to her also. Or was this woman her mother in her previous life?

The sound of Changyu's ring tone made her raise her head to look at the woman and their eyes met. It seemed like the woman had been staring at her also.

With a tiny smile, Changyu answered her phone. After a couple of seconds she said an ”Okay” and ended the call.

”I should leave now Ms Wang.”

”Call me Sara. Sara is fine by me” Sara stood up immediately Changyu did.

”Alright. Sara. Let's talk some other time. I have business to attend to. I'm sorry I wouldn't be able to drop you off.” She apologized.
