Chapter 57 Initially, it would take a shorter time to get to the place, but they only arrived in the evening because Josie didn’t dare to take private cars She walked by the sea while watching the sunset, The sea breeze was a little cold. Around this time of the year, her father, Hayden, would always begin to stock up on charcoal for her mother to spend the winter. The fireplace at home kept burning from the end of autumn to the late spring of the coming year because her mother was afraid of the cold. Everyone in the village said that her father loved her mother and envied her mother for marrying a good man. Josie was also jealous of her mother. She felt envious that her mother could meet a man who would love her with all he had to offer. mused up a “My mom up all the luck of our family, Josie uttered with a smile as she stood by the sea and looked into the distance. Samuel put his hands in his pockets. The man was dressed in casual sportswear, which made him look bright and dazzling. He claimed. The first time I saw you, you were standing on the beach while picking up seashells. You even ran into the sea at high tide to save a puppy.” Josie looked at Samuel in shock. That puppy was a birthday gift from her father, which she named Fluffy. After her parents died, Fluffy was sent away. At that time, Josie was 15 years old, and her parents had not passed away yet. Her standing by the sea looked like an angel falling from the sky. Samuel had never thought that he could see Josie again.
Yet, the second time they met was in the Gibson residence. She curled up in the corner like a frightened rabbit, her eyes looking empty. When Samuel learned what had happened to Josie from his parents, he had mixed feelings about it. “Do you want to hear the stories of my parents?” Josie took a deep breath and felt the sea breeze. For some reason, she felt relaxed. She wanted to tell Henry the story of her parents and that she envied her mother.
But Henry was very sensitive, so he didn’t want to hear anything related to her parents. “Do you want to tell me?” Samuel was a little nervous. “My parents first met at a dance performance. My mom was a ballet dancer, by the way.” Josie twirled around on the beach, her long hair fluttering along the sea breeze. Josie’s arms were slender, and her dance moves were shining in the sunset When Samuel first met Josie, he saw her dancing on the beach like a fairy. “My mom likes dancing, and romance is her pride” Josie inherited her mother’s dancing talent ever since she started to learn how to walk. “Mom said… If I dance well, I will become a great dancer in the future,” she continued. Chapter 57 But Josie’s dancing journey endled when she was 15 years old. Since then, she had never danced in front of anyone. After taking off her shoes, Josie stood barefoot in the sand. Samuel was afraid she would be cold, but he didn’t stop her. He stared blankly at the dancing woman. Even though there was no music, Samuel felt like music was ringing in his ears. While watching Josie dancing than intent gaze, Samuel clenched his fists slowly in his pockets. He mused, “L… I’m the one that adores Josie, but she has no idea about this and never once set her eyes on me.”
The second time my mom and dad met was in Morose Entertainment Club, where my mom worked as an exotic dancer.” Josie smiled and didn’t think it was an embarrassment. The sea breeze blew her hair, and her black hair made her pale face look as beautiful as a dream. Samuel’s heart tightened as he reached out his hand subconsciously. at any time. He had the illusion that Josie would follow the sea breeze and disperse into the sea at any “I have a wish.” Josie turned around and looked at the sea as if she was yearning for it. “After I die, I want my ashes to be s c a t t e r e d into the sea” “What are you talking about?” Samuel was anxious. He wrapped Josie tightly with his coat and seized the opportunity to hug the woman who didn’t belong to him. “People will eventually die. Josie smiled at Samuel, She used to avoid this topic, but her parents and even her grandfather had already passed away. Everyone who ever loved her was gone. “My father resolutely left home for my mother despite the opposition of his family and even went against Grandpa,” Josie claimed and thought, “Henry probably learned the essence of Grandpa John when he was young John had been proud for his entire life and fought with his son all his life. He wanted to force Hayden to be obedient and give up on Kathy, but it ended up risking his son’s life. “My father was known for spoiling his wife in the village. Everyone in the village knows that. Josie jumped onto the rock and pointed to a distant cliff. “Do you see that? My dad said that meeting my mom was the luckiest thing that has ever happened to him. My grandpa even forced my mom to break up with my dad, and it’s when my mom escaped here. This is my mom’s hometown. It’s also where Dad courted Mom…” Josie was smiling as she recounted the past. “My mom mentioned that my dad was a scoundrel. He stood by the cliff and threatened her by saying that if my mom refused to be with him, he would jump.” Hearing that, Samuel seemed to be able to imagine the love between Hayden and Kathy. “Josie… The sea breeze was strong, and Samuel’s voice was low. “If I use the same method to pursue
you, will you say yes?” With that, Josie slowly walked down from the rock. She wondered, “What did Samuel say?” She raised her head and asked, “What did you say?” “It’s nothing. Let’s go home.” Samuel turned around and wanted to hold Josie’s hand, but he didn’t reach out his hand in the end. He mused, “I have no right to do so. Now, I’m just a neighbor to her. At most, we’re friends who had known each other long 18:08 Wed, 8 May ORG. Chapter 57 ago Joste, who was getting more and more confused, followed behind him. She thought. “Not only did he accompany me to take the bus and boat, but he also seemed familiar with Halfway through the walk, Samuel seemed to have realized something. Th ahead ΠΥ home… he stopped in his tracks and let Josie walk Mexwhile, Josie did not utter a word. Since Samuel wasn’t mentioning anything, she naturally didn’t ask. She was actually afraid of the man having any unrealistic fantasies about herself. After all, she could no longer reciprocate love to anyone “Samuel. I wasn’t like that when I was a child” Before she was 15 years old, she was spoiled by her parents. “I was like a little devil in the town. The old ladies in the neighborhood were always chasing after me to punish me,” Josie stated with a smile. In fact, the used to have a bright personality. Samuel’s eyes darkened as he felt sorry for Josie But what Josie wanted to tell Samuel was that she was not that perfect. “Actually I’m a bad person. I’ll do whatever it takes to get what I want.” Josie stood in front of her house
and looked up at it, which had long been uninhabited. “I tried every means to threaten Henry into marrying me.” Upon hearing that Samuel clenched his fingers and said nothing “It’s all my fault, so you don’t need to pity me. I don’t deserve it.” Josie agreed to come with Samuel that day because she wanted to make him give up. She added. “Samuel, you know what? I coveted Henry. Everything I could see was him. I used my grandpa’s guilt toward my father, Hayden, to force him to let me get married to Henry. I was greedy, so it’s my destiny to end up like this” “Everything I experienced today is just retribution for what I did,” she mused. “Is he that good?” Samuel asked in a h o a r s e voice. “He’s a great person but unkind to me.” Josie opened the door and walked in. In the past, her father, Hayden, had planted flowers in the yard for her mother. Suddenly, Josie’s footsteps froze, and her breathing immediately became shallow. Tears instantly welled up in her eyes. She thought the courtyard had been deserted for years, and those flowers had long withered and died. However, what came into view was a courtyard full of flowers and plants. The lilies were in full bloom at the end of autumn, there was even osmanthus in the corner, and the cotton rosemallow flourished on the branches. Josie covered her mouth with her hands. She kept trembling and didn’t dare to move forward. Memory was the most tormenting thing. At that moment, Josie seemed to have returned to the year when she was 15 years old. Hayden had just come back from fishing and was tidying the flowers and plants in the courtyard with her mother. Sometimes, Josie would think it would be great if she died in that car accident ten years ago with Hayden and Kathy.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
