Chapter 167: She actually pretended not to know him
“Honey, according to this, you fell in love with me six years ago.” Fred sniffed and laughed thievishly.
“Or else you think.” Elena gave Fred a blank look, there was no shame in talking about it now anyway, this would mostly be about helping Albert.
“But after ten years, why didn’t she come to me?” Albert seemed to have too many worries, not like the usual Albert at all.
“Then why didn’t you look for her in these ten years?” Elena sat over and asked, in fact she was only speaking according to her and Fred’s feelings.
“I thought,, I thought she was gone.” Albert said with difficulty, these ten years were unbearably forefront for him.
“Albert, may I ask, for what reason did she fall into the sea in the first place?” Elena looked at Albert, she felt that this was the key.
“Actually I don’t know, when I arrived at the beach, I was seeing her floating in the sea, I tried to save her, but a big wave hit and she disappeared right before my eyes.” The events of ten years ago were so vivid to Albert that he spent a month on the beach, searching every day, expecting to hear from Merry, but there was none.
“I think maybe the reason she fell into the water is why she didn’t come back for you.” Elena said seriously, but she couldn’t figure out what kind of reason made her put up with it for ten years.
If that Merry didn’t love Albert, she thought it was impossible, a seventeen year old girl, willing to give birth to a child for a man, if that wasn’t love, she really didn’t know what to call it.
“Albert, did you ask your son why they were in America?” Fred was thinking differently than Elena. He also knew more than Elena, when the old woman from The Barrett family, was so strongly against them being together because of Merry’s bad family history.
Given the circumstances, there was no way Merry would have made it to America, let alone with a big belly, so what happened in between? He thought that might be the key.
“I’ll ask Bruce tomorrow,” Albert was nudged awake by Fred and Elena. These days, he was only immersed in the happiness of having a son and had been thinking about the fact that he was about to meet Merry, and hadn’t thought about anything else. To put it another way, his head had been on the spot these past few days.
“That’s right, you need to be sensible, Elena and I are going out for a stroll, do you want to join us?” Fred said to Albert.
“Why not, wait I will, I’ll change my clothes.” Albert stood up as soon as he heard that.
He needed to clear his head, if he stayed in the hotel, he would only be thinking nonsense, it was better to go outside, and by the way, see what there was for Merry’s gift.
Fred and Albert took Elena shopping on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, but of course, Albert was mostly interested in picking out a gift for Merry.
“Elena, if it were you, what kind of gift would you like?” Albert followed Elena and Fred and saw that Elena didn’t buy any jewelry, not even designer clothes, and didn’t bring any handbag, so he couldn’t help but wonder.
As far as he knows, women like nothing but jewelry, jewelry, brand-name clothes, bags of gray, but these, Elena did not choose, she really seems to just shopping, not shop.
“What kind of gift can’t compare to this, I just enjoy Fred shopping with me.” Elena shook the wedding ring that Fred chose six years ago, with a sweet face.
Albert looked at Fred and Elena thoughtfully, nothing could compare to the happiness the two had together, but Merry had a husband now, could he still be in such a chance?
The ‘happiness’ Elena spoke of was now out of reach for Albert. But even so, there was still a gift to be chosen.
“Fred, Elena, look, I’ll go over there to the store.” Albert heart some sentimental, and do not want to spoil Fred and his wife’s good mood, so they said to the two.
“Good, then call later.” Fred nodded his head, he knew that Albert’s heart was not good, at this time, maybe he wanted to be alone to mourn the lost love.
“Honey, let’s see, help Albert choose one.” Looking at Albert’s despondent back, Elena couldn’t help but feel a bit sad, although the genders are different, but this feeling is the same.
“Actually, like you said, it doesn’t matter what kind of gift, maybe for them, reunion is already a very rare gift, let’s give Albert some time, maybe he will have an unexpected surprise for Merry,” Fred also wanted to do it, but they really can’t help with emotional matters.
“I really hope they can be like us, a family reunion soon.” Elena lamented.
“Well, wife, shouldn’t we prepare for our wedding, we haven’t taken our wedding photos yet, besides, the wedding rings need to be reordered, why don’t we go to Paris in a few days, make a custom wedding dress and take wedding photos.” Fred said with feeling in his heart.
“Honey, you forget what I do have to do, wedding dress, I want to design it myself.” Elena smiled, some embarrassed laugh.
In fact, the wedding dress, as early as a year ago she designed her own well, only put in Italy, when the design of that wedding dress, she thought, I hope I can have the opportunity to wear.
“Yes oh, I forgot, wife, then my dress is not also wife underwritten.” Fred sniffed and smiled, looking at Elena with anticipation.
“Well, but it will take time, wait a few days we go directly to Italy.” Elena nodded her head shyly, and the two stared deeply, while Albert, who had turned to another street, was a little bewildered.
Looking at the pairs of men and women on both sides of the street, his mood was even more depressed. He happened to see a cafe in front of him, so he walked up.
Found a seat against the street, ordered a cup of black coffee, sitting here, you can see the street pedestrians, drink a mouthful of coffee, at this time, the heart is like coffee this bitter.
How he wished he could go back ten years, he and Merry missed ten years of time, ten years, life has a few ten years, did not expect ten years later today, but she has been married.
He stirred the coffee in his cup unconsciously, when a distant voice suddenly came to his ears, and once that voice entered his ears, it was like a refreshing drug that made his whole body excited.
His hand holding the coffee spoon was trembling, touching the cup with a crisp ‘tinkling’ sound.
“You think too much, enjoy this rare holiday.” The voice was like a fountain of fresh water, which made Albert feel energized at once.
“Lisa, do you have confidence in this project? The president has given this project to you, and those people in the board of directors are watching it intently, and they are eager to find an opportunity to kick you out of Sage.” The worried voice made Albert’s raised hips sit down again.
“That’s only if they have it in them, Tina, are you worried too?” The easy, gentle voice gave a spring-like feeling.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Albert speculated in his mind, by Sage, did they mean Sage Air?
Why didn’t his son tell him that Merry worked at Sage Air, and listening to the conversation between these two, Merry’s position at Sage seemed to be quite high. What had happened to Merry in the past ten years?
“Although over the years, you have taken over the projects are completed very well, but this time is to talk to the most cold-blooded Mr. Douglas, I really worry.” Tina stretched already looking at the oriental beauty sitting across the table, a dark black hair, was coiled up and tied behind the head, looking very competent, but the bright big eyes, but gives a fresh feeling, the face alone, like the girl next door, especially friendly.
Albert could not hold back any longer, got up, and walked over.
“This lady, may I sit here, please?” Albert came to the beautiful girl and pointed to the seat beside her.
“Ah–” Tina, who was sitting across the table, exclaimed.
The beautiful woman slowly looked sideways, and when she saw Albert’s handsome face with a smile, she was dumbfounded for a moment, and then politely and rustily said, “I don’t think it’s convenient, this gentleman should have another choice.”
As she said that, she moved the bag placed on the left side to the left side, directly occupying the empty seat. Such an understandable and direct answer would make people feel awkward, but Albert didn’t even have any.
Her performance is so obvious, especially the moment she just side head, it is his Merry right, although the costume has changed, but her eyes have not changed, her feelings have not changed.
There are still feelings in her eyes, and his Merry still loves him.
Albert ignored her clear and direct refusal and sat down dominantly.
“Lisa–” the brunette across the table exclaimed.
“Tina, check out, let’s go.” The pretty girl said, reaching for her bag, looking like she was trying to get rid of Albert, who instead pressed one hand on the hand she was holding.
“Merry, ten years no see, even a ‘hello’ is stingy to give?” Albert heart tip a little pain, he thought Merry should be very warm, even if there is no hug, no kiss, at least should call him.
“Sir, you have the wrong person.” The polite and detached English was like a sharp blade stabbing at Albert’s heart.
“Merry, I can’t be mistaken, Bruce, the name we thought of together ten years ago, we’ve met as father and son, Merry, are you planning to never see me again in your life? If that’s the case, why did you give birth to Ye’er in the first place?” Albert clasped her hand and refused to let go, and he was speaking in Chinese, which I believe at least a large portion of those present could not hear clearly.
“This gentleman, please let go, I don’t know what you’re talking about?” Albert didn’t believe it and he couldn’t accept it.
“Merry, you said that we would be together in this life, have you forgotten?” Although she tried to pull out her hand, Albert held it tightly, he would never let her go again, Merry was his Albert’s wife, the vows he made ten years ago were still ringing in his ears, the lovely girl in his heart was right in front of him, but she refused to recognize him.
“Sir, if you don’t let go, I’m going to call the police.” The beautiful woman’s face is as calm as ever, as if she really does not know Albert, but Albert firmly believes that the woman in front of him is his Merry, he does not let go, he is afraid that once he lets go, Merry will disappear without a trace like ten years ago, no, never let go.
