Oliver glanced at the two won in front of him: "You two look like a pair of chopsticks swaying in the wind, talking about losing weight. What are the chubby people supposed to think?"
"What would you know, being a big guy? We have our own pursuits, right, Faye?"
Clara pouted and looked at Oliver: "Oh, don’t interfere with our walk, just go already."
He nodded speechlessly and turned around, carrying Clara: "Fine, you guys lose weight. I’ll take Darnley with ."
Darnley happily waved goodbye to Faye.
"Faye, I won’t be around tonight, so cover yourself well. Bye-bye."
Faye was speechless: "Take care of yourself."
As they walked away, Faye turned her head to Clara with a smile: "Did you see that? That’s my son. Sotis he talks just like a little grown-up."
Clara looked at her enviously: "How can that be annoying? He’s clearly a treasure.
How wonderful, where else would you find such a considerate child?"
Faye shrugged and smiled, agreeing.
"Shall we go for a stroll?" She looked at Clara, wanting her suggestion.
Clara hesitated for a mont and said: "If you ask , let’s go for a walk downstairs."
"Sure." The two of them went downstairs together, remaining quiet along the way.
As soon as they stepped out of the hotel, a wave of heat rushed toward them.
Faye exhaled: "This weather is really killer."
"Is the weather in Zurich nice now?"
"Actually... it’s about the sa. I’m just soone who’s naturally afraid of the heat.
After having a baby, I sweat even more.
During sumr in Zurich, I hardly go out.
Because I hate the feeling of being drenched in sweat."
Faye looked ahead and saw a mall not far away; she pointed at it: "Let’s go inside and have a look, and maybe enjoy so air conditioning."
"Good idea."
Their steps quickened, and after entering the mall, Faye slowed down her pace a bit.
Clara asked: "Faye, are you staying long in Anchester this ti?"
"No, Oliver said there’s an important board eting tomorrow that I have to attend personally.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have rushed back so suddenly.
You know, I don’t really want to co back here."
"Have you forgotten the past?"
Faye looked at her and smiled: "What do you think?"
"I think if it’s true love, it should be hard, right?
But from how you look now, you seem quite relaxed.
Very different from how you were six years ago."
Faye gazed at her thoughtfully: "So things are indeed hard to forget.
But the chores of life are too many, I simply don’t have ti to reminisce about the past.
Over ti, I started keeping the past as a secret locked inside my heart.
As long as I don’t touch it, it won’t hurt.
And these past few years, I seem to have learned how to keep my inner thoughts from erging and affecting my life.
And you... how have these years been for you?
Are you still as focused on Oliver?"
Clara raised an eyebrow and sighed: "What can I say?"
"Why, is your heart very complicated now?"
"I’m very focused, but Oliver’s uncle is just as stubborn.
Before I knew you existed, I was daring enough to tell the whole world I loved him and wanted to be with him.
But over the years, I don’t dare to say that anymore.
I used to think if you didn’t love him, he wouldn’t be happy.
And I loved him, so I thought I could make him happy.
But the truth turned out very different.
Just like I am very happy loving him.
Perhaps, he’s also very happy loving you.
Though I don’t want to admit it, in Oliver’s uncle’s eyes, you are indeed more charming than I am.
I lost, truly lost completely.
Faye, I now admit you were right."
Faye was puzzled, she was right? Right about what?
"When n get ruthless, it’s truly the most terrifying thing.
Even though living under the sa roof.
Even though there’s no blood relation.
But he can still treat like a child and take care of .
Do you know how ridiculous it is? We’re the sa age.
I ran away from ho because he didn’t care, and he called rebellious.
I was upset because he wouldn’t make ti for , and he said I was immature.
I cried and caused a fuss because of his repeated rejections, and he said I was being childish.
He never realized that I acted that way because I loved him.
No, no, he clearly knows I’m like this because I love him.
But he’s stubbornly convinced it’s a child’s trick to get an adult’s attention.
Sotis facing him, I’m truly at a loss for words."
Seeing Clara could still laugh about it, Faye could only echo her laughter.
