Capítulo 1683: Chapter 1683: I Have a Little Goldfish 49
The little goldfish turned the faucet to its maximum, letting the sound of the water drown out all external sounds.
She held onto the bathtub, slowly squatting down, her vision going black in flashes, her body trembling… Anger or sadness, neither suffices to describe her feelings, as if a great hamr appeared out of thin air, smashing her heart into pieces!
It’s a bone-deep wound, a skin-deep pain!
What has she been hoping for, for so long, so very long?
Fish eyes… brewed into dicinal wine;
Fish bones… ground into powder for pills;
Fish scales… added with water, cooked on high heat, then simred on low to remove impurities… cooled to a gel, can be made into soup or dipped in sugar and peppermint oil for a cold refreshnt…
She mistook hunting and captivity for kindness and love.
It turns out, the beautiful crystal palace was a prison for her, and his intense gaze stemd from a desire to consu flesh and blood!
… better not to think too deeply.
The more she thought, the more it pierced her heart!
She felt cold, tears flowed endlessly, her body seed to fall into an ice cave, uncontrollably shivering.
The bathtub was more than half-filled, and she slowly lay in it, letting herself be subrged… then, she was no longer cold, no longer crying, she opened her eyes underwater, quietly watching the ripples, feeling as though she was living in a dream.
Indeed, she lived in a dream.
In the fairy tale woven for her by Aaron Ray.
Now, it was ti to wake up.
From now on, Andrei no longer existed in this world. Her lover existed only in dreams.
As for the person who created the dream…
She thought for a long ti, feeling she should thank him.
Because, after all, wasn’t it a beautiful dream?
…
The little goldfish put on a bathrobe and ca out of the bathroom, Harvey Howard was waiting for her outside the door.
Seeing her drenched, Harvey Howard raised an eyebrow in confusion, his gaze fixing on her slightly reddened eyes.
Harvey Howard brushed aside a strand of wet hair from her neck, softly asking, “Are you alright?”
The little goldfish gave a faint smile, “Mm, I’m fine now.”
Harvey Howard looked into her eyes, “Good, as long as you’re alright.”
…
After the new year, the nobility and wealthy families of Clearwater City rushed to host spring banquets.
At the banquets, everyone frequently ntioned the Howard Family head’s new love interest.
It was said that the girl was young and beautiful, with a naturally wonderful voice, her singing enchanting people into a trance. Harvey Howard, suffering from insomnia every night, had to listen to her sing to sleep, indulging in her and unable to part from her.
Not long after, as if to confirm this, Harvey Howard hosted a birthday banquet at his estate, with famous people from various circles attending to offer their congratulations. The little goldfish sang a song for everyone, her voice like the sound of heaven, astonishing the many guests.
The next day, her performance at the party made the news, even attracting the attention of a professor from the National Conservatory of Music, who sent an invitation, praising the little goldfish’s unimaginable talent, offering to fully cultivate her and waive all tuition fees.
The little goldfish graciously declined, saying that she only sang for Harvey Howard.
This shocked everyone.
The music professor, undeterred, repeatedly invited her but was continuously refused, and in anger, he published an article criticizing Harvey Howard for ruining the nation’s valuable talent!
The news stirred up quite a bit of commotion, but Harvey Howard ignored it, and the little goldfish withdrew from public view, rarely making appearances.
So remained captivated by her voice, but there was no help for it; who dared to force Harvey Howard’s woman to sing?
anwhile, both Aaron Ray and Milton Bryce, without even realizing it, rose in social standing, becoming increasingly prominent.
They acquired better hos, better cars, and better jobs.
Harvey Howard entrusted Aaron Ray with almost half of the business dealings at Entertainnt City, placing complete trust in him.
Aaron Ray beca one of the hottest figures in Clearwater City; many things he didn’t even need to ask for were eagerly presented to him—
like the old Ray Family residence, like the already rebranded Ray Family company.
These were all things he had most wanted, and now that he finally had them back, his heart felt no ripple.
Only vaguely he knew, he was waiting for sothing…
