Chapter 105 - It Hurts (2/2)
Elizabeth felt like crying hearing the man's answer, her inside was aching as she didn't know what to do next.
”You must like her a lot then?”
”Honestly, I didn't like her at first... When I saw her I said she's only beautiful nothing special about her, but as the time passed by and we spent time with each other, I didn't realize my heart was beating for her.”
”Does your family approve of her?”
”Not a lot of them know about her yet, but it doesn't matter... She the only one for me.”
Hearing the man's confession right in front of her, she felt like falling into the deep abyss. Seeing the gentle expression the man was giving off as he expresses his feelings towards the girl made Elizabeth realize he was really in love with that person. ”I'm so happy for you... I hope to meet her someday. Also, please call me Lizzy since we are good friends already.”
...
When they arrived at the girl's home, Elizabeth quickly got out of the car. Before she went inside, she looked at the man for the last time. ”Shen, thank you...”
Yun Shen was dumbfounded when he noticed the tears running down her face. He wonders if he had said something to upset her. Since the girl stormed inside the house, he could not ask her personally. So he grabbed his phone and message the girl.
[Shen: Are you alright?]
[Lizzy: I am, I'm heading to my room now. Why?]
[Shen: Nothing, I just want to make sure you're alright...]
[Lizzy: No worries, I'm here in my room now. Drive safely, Shen.]
[Shen: Alright, sleep well. Also, thanks again for taking care of Little Yan.]
[Lizzy: Anytime.]
Yun Shen put his phone away seeing the girl was fine as he drove off...
...
Meanwhile, Elizabeth just reached her room as she closed the door and collapsed on her knees. She removed the mask and threw it across the room revealing the raindrop tears.
”I'm so stupid, what was I thinking... He loves his wife so much. At the same time, he already has someone in his heart.”
She grabbed her phone and called someone.
”Hello...”
The person on the other end wonders why no one was answering her back, but she can clearly hear the person crying.
”Babes, what's wrong?”
”Jackie it hurts...”
”Babes, what happened?”
Elizabeth continued to cry her heart out, ”I don't know what to do...”
”Calm down, tell me what happened?”
As Elizabeth explained everything, Jackie on the other listened to the girl. She felt so upset hearing such news and worried about the girl.
”Babes, calm down... Everything will be fine. I promise.”
”Jackie, I need to go...”
”Wait...”
But before Jackie could say another word, the girl had already ended the call. She went to her walk-in and changed her clothes.
Afterward, she walked out of her room as she headed out of the house.
...
The girl was busy working on an empty canvas as tears continued to roll down her face. She didn't notice that someone was standing behind her.
She suddenly became frustrated as the words the man said flashback into her mind.
”You stupid girl...” She cried as she threw her brush away.
It surprised her when she saw the paintbrush in front of her. She turned around and was startled to see the man standing behind her.
”Daddy...”
”Hmm...”
Even though she was still worried about her father being angry with her, she didn't hold back as she wrapped her arms around the man and burst into tears.
”Daddy...”
”Stop crying, your Grandfather might kill Young Shen if you continuing crying.”
”Daddy, I was wrong...”
”Everyone makes mistakes...”
”But it hurts...”
”I'm sorry baby, but Daddy will always be here for you.”
”Daddy, I'm sorry...”
”It's fine, I can never be angry with you.”
”Daddy, thank you... For everything...”
”Now, stop crying...”
The man, of course, knew why his daughter was crying. She must have asked the man something personal which confirm all her concerns but received such disappointing results.
At the same time, standing outside the door was the mother of the pitiful girl. She noticed her husband walked out of their room and followed him. She knew her husband couldn't stand being angry with their daughter but she didn't expect to hear such disappointing news. To think she even told the child that her daughter will be her future mother.
'My poor baby, I'm sorry...'
