Chapter 3
Although this inn is a bit old, it excels in its beautiful scenery, as there is a vast forest right outside
the house.
In the distance, one could still see the faintly visible sea of clouds over the forest.
The morning light illuminated the tips of the pavilion on the ridge.
I sorted out my emotions and accompanied the elderly couple for a leisurely stroll.
Subtly inquired about the company’s affairs to Trey.
He said, “Busy, such a big enterprise, so many subsidiary companies, if you want to not be busy, you can only wait for retirement or bankruptcy.”
I lowered my eyes, feeling a dull ache in my heart.
Busy or not, it depends on the person, not the matter.
The sweet memories from the past tightly wrapp free from it, I couldn’t escape.
round me like a dense web, I couldn’t break
The past was too beautiful, so it hurt, and it really hurt.
Memories flashed before my eyes like a whirlwind.
“Time passed so quickly, I was only fourteen years old when I first came here.”

After listening, I couldn’t hold back anymore, tears started rolling down one by one and falling onto the ground.
Shattered into dark–colored flowers, one by one.
Ruth saw the situation and seemed to understand, so she pulled me to sit down in the pavilion.
“If it’s something we can get through, then grit our teeth and work together to overcome it.”
“If it is something that cannot be overcome, then be even stronger and cross over it by yourself.”
“Jaqueline, even though you are not my own flesh and blood, from the day you decided to stay in this home, I treated you as my own child.”
“Don’t make yourself suffer, I hope Alvin is happy, and I also hope you can be happy.”
I suddenly burst into tears and tightly hugged Ruth.
