Faye Townsend had just finished washing up and was about to rest in bed when the doorbell rang again.
She irritably rubbed her ears, thinking Richard Townsend must be crazy today.
She threw off the blanket and got out of bed to open the door, only to find Oliver Turner standing there.
She was surprised, "Why are you... here?"
Oliver Turner raised his hand and waved the lunchbox he was holding.
"Don’t worry, I’m not here to eat yours, I’m here to bring you a midnight snack.
I not only know that pregnant won often sleep a lot, but I also know they have big appetites, so here I am to add a al for you."
Faye Townsend smiled and took the lunchbox as she turned to go inside, "Just in ti, I was a bit hungry. This is like coal in a snowstorm."
"You can call a good Samaritan in the future."
Faye opened the lunchbox on the dining table while observing him.
Oliver Turner spun in a circle in front of her, "What’s up? Suddenly realizing I’m particularly handso?"
Faye held back a laugh, "You’re overthinking it.
I just think the good Samaritan wasn’t as old as you."
Oliver Turner curled his lips, "You hurt my feelings. I always thought I was still quite youthful."
Faye chuckled lightly.
Oliver Turner sat in the chair opposite her, "Has anyone ever told you that you look particularly beautiful when you smile?"
"Does that an I’m not beautiful when I’m not smiling? I always thought I was beautiful all the ti."
Oliver Turner clapped his palms together, "That’s right, confident and bold."
Faye began eating the snack, "Do you want so? I can serve you a bit.
Using the stuff you bought for and offering it back feels pretty good."
"This is all for the nourishnt of pregnant won, I’m not eating it.
You should eat more, a healthy body is good for the child."
"Didn’t you say you were drinking with friends at Noble Gate? Why did you suddenly co here?
When the doorbell rang just now, I thought it was Richard coming back again."
"No wonder you opened the door with such a fierce expression, so it wasn’t directed at . I was feeling a bit sad in my heart just now."
Faye took a sip of soup and laughed silently.
She never knew his heart was so fragile.
After a satisfying al, she threw the trash into the bin.
Oliver Turner sat there watching her, "Let find you a housekeeper.
It’s already worrying enough that you live here alone.
If no one else takes care of you, it’s even more concerning.
You can’t eat restaurant food every day, can you?"
Faye washed her hands in the bathroom and ca out wiping her hands, "No need, I’m going abroad in a few days.
I can manage these few days."
Oliver Turner sighed deeply, "Suddenly I feel reluctant to let you go. Why don’t you stay in Eldoria?
I can teach you the things you want to learn."
Faye was montarily stunned before smiling jokingly, "Can you show a teaching certificate? If not, forget it, I want a formal education."
She glanced at the ti after speaking, "Finished the midnight snack, seems like it’s bedti now."
"Not going to let stay?" Oliver Turner remained seated at the dining table.
"If there were two bedrooms here, it might be considered."
"Tsk," Oliver Turner looked around, "I suddenly feel like I want to renovate this place."
Faye laughed, "Stop joking, if you go back now, you can still get to sleep before midnight."
Oliver Turner then stood up, "Alright, considering you’re pregnant, I won’t keep you up. I’ll leave first, and if I have ti tomorrow, I’ll co to see you."
Faye shook her head, "You don’t need to co see every day.
If there’s anything, just give a call."
"That’s my freedom, don’t worry about it. I’m leaving now; you go to sleep."
Oliver Turner left and closed the door behind him, Faye stood at the door staring at the closed anti-theft door, lips pursed.
Why does Oliver Turner suddenly seem so kind and friendly, it’s a bit unsettling.
After getting into the car, Oliver Turner lit a cigar and watched the lights at Faye’s house go out, then told the driver, "Let’s go."
Lately, he really had changed because of this woman.
Suddenly, it seed like this change wasn’t such a bad thing.
He hadn’t had the urge to feed a woman in many years.
Seeing Faye’s state, it seed like pulling her out of the shadow Hunter Warren cast over her wasn’t entirely impossible.
A week later, Faye received a call from Kay Forrest.
He had already arranged everything for her trip to Switzerland.
"Everything’s ready, just waiting for you, Faye."
Hearing this, Faye laughed, "Praise, well done."
"Of course, just look at who I am.
The ultimate best buddy of the universe, yours."
Faye couldn’t help but laugh at his boasting.
"By the way, before you co, go see my dad.
These days, I’ve been calling him, and he seems uninterested in talking to .
I don’t know what I’ve done again to upset him.
Ask him, see where exactly he’s dissatisfied with this ti."
Faye smiled, "You don’t know?"
"You do?"
"Yes, I visited Uncle Forrest the day before yesterday."
"What did he say about ?"
Faye hesitated a mont before asking, "Did you get a girlfriend there?"
"Girlfriend? No."
"How could you not, Uncle Forrest said you posted a photo with a foreign woman on your Weibo.
The way you two were holding each other looked very close."
"Oh, that, she’s not a girlfriend, we’re not even in contact anymore.
I’m a man, am I not allowed to have so physical desires?"
Faye rolled her eyes, "You never used to post photos of won on Weibo, so why now? You know Uncle Forrest doesn’t like you marrying foreign won.
The first ti you post a close photo with a foreign woman, it’s understandable that Uncle Forrest misunderstood."
"I just thought it was fun.
The point was to show off the woman’s blue eyes.
Can you believe the old man? His reason for being angry is too absurd.
Anyway, I get it, I’ll call him to calm him down.
Oh, when you co over, you don’t need to bring clothes or anything.
I’ve bought a lot for you here.
Also, I’ve bought a lot of nice baby clothes, hurry up with the Eldoria paperwork and co over.
I really miss you."
"Got it." She really wanted to say thank you.
But she also knew Kay didn’t need her to say useless things like thank you.
He’d probably prefer for her to be brave and strong.
After hanging up, Faye looked up at the ti; it was already past midnight, no wonder she felt so hungry.
She tidied up a bit, grabbed her bag, and went downstairs to eat.
Leaving the apartnt, she saw from afar a girl under the tree in a white dress, looking pure and lovable.
She glanced briefly, not thinking much.
But the girl walked straight over upon seeing her.
She looked at Faye with a strange smile, as if they were acquaintances.
The girl stopped in front of her, "You’re Faye Townsend, right?"
Faye nodded, "I am, and you are..."
"Hello, I’m Clara, you can call Clara."
"Do we... know each other?" Faye was puzzled as she looked at the girl.
"We didn’t know each other before, but we will from now on.
Because we both know the sa man, Oliver Turner."
Faye imdiately thought of that rumored woman kept by Oliver Turner.
Could it be her?
"Aren’t you going to ask why I’m looking for you?"
Seeing Faye remain silent, Clara spoke again.
Faye pursed her lips, "Since you’ve co to find , even if I don’t ask, you’ll tell ."
"I’ve heard you’re a smart person, it seems true.
So, I won’t beat around the bush with you.
I’ve heard you’re dating him.
Though I don’t know if that’s true, I want to tell you, I love him.
In the future, I will beco his wife.
Whether he’s poor or rich, sick or healthy.
I will stay by his side.
Even if one day he dies, I’ll die with him.
If you have the confidence to love him more than I do.
I can step back from this relationship.
As long as he truly loves you, as long as he can be happy, I can leave his world."
Faye looked at the woman in front of her; she saw her foolish self from the past in her eyes.
It seed there really were a lot of passionate won in the world.
She pursed her lips, "Is that so."
Clara’s smile widened, "I won’t ask you to leave his side.
I’ll compete with you fairly.
I ca today just to see how remarkable my opponent really is.
I must admit, you are different from the other won before.
You make feel pressured."
Faye felt a bit of sympathy for her.
Earlier Oliver Turner had said he didn’t love this woman.
In Oliver Turner’s eyes, this woman was just a child.
Now it seed, she was just another version of her forr self.
Seeing how determined she was for Oliver, Faye could almost see her fate.
After all, when a man acts heartless, it’s truly terrifying.
Even if, in the end, she really does marry the man she loves, in the end, love’s blossom withers before it even blooms.
"Really hope... you get the love you’re wishing for."
When she said this, Faye seed a bit helpless.
"Of course, I will." She said, glancing at her watch, "It’s getting late, I need to go ho. Oh, you probably don’t know, I grew up living with him."
Faye nodded, "Hmm, first I’ve heard."
Clara pouted, "You are indeed a strange woman.
But anyway, we’ve t now, see you later."
"Alright." Faye gave a gentle smile as Clara turned and left.
She stood still for a long ti, in the distance, a fresh breeze blew by.
This feeling was so strange.
Why did it feel like she was suddenly the other woman here?
