So, Bryce endured it whenever Holly called for Abelin in her dreams. Now, Abelin had reunited with her, and he had his eyes on her as well. She couldn't bring herself to cut ties with him because he had saved her life before. Bryce was also willing to bear with it because it was too hard to be apart from her.After he finished the tiramisu and apple pie, he looked at his watch and gently said to her, "I don't have anything planned this afternoon. Where would you like to go? I'll go with you."Holly thought about it and said, "Shall we go to the amusement park?"Bryce was stunned for a moment. "The amusement part? It's for kids. Are you sure you want to go there?""I didn't have the chance to go there a lot. Back when I was young, I would always study. Other than that, I would be busy restoring paintings, replicating paintings, and going to the museum with Grandpa. I never really experienced what other kids had done before."Bryce ruffled her hair and teased, "I never knew our de
When they arrived at the Kiddy Train, Holly got on the ride with a group of kids. Since she was slim, she wasn't standing out that much.The fall sun was shining on her body, and her blonde hair fell loosely on her shoulders. Her slim back looked beautiful. She was so thin that it felt like the sunlight could shine through her.Bryce stood by the entrance and quietly waited for her. What had happened earlier made him slightly upset. However, the way she grabbed his arm dissipated the feeling quickly. She always had a way to affect his emotions.He accompanied her at the amusement park for the whole afternoon as she had fun. When the place was closing, she was still hesitant to leave. She was hinting at Bryce that she wanted to come again next time.Bryce smiled, thinking that she was sometimes as mature as an elderly woman. Then, there were times when she would act like an eight-year-old girl. Holly was truly an innocent yet complicated woman.That night, Bryce stayed at Winds Res
Priscilla teared up and cried until her face was covered in tears. Then, she said while sniffling, "It's great that you're alive. We've been living with great guilt for the past decade. It was heartbreaking to see a good boy die while saving Holls."Abelin wiped her tears with a handkerchief. "Please don't cry, Aunt Priscilla. I'm here now, aren't I? Holly suffered because of me, so saving her was the right thing to do.""About your injuries…"Priscilla was about to lift up his coat and check the scars on his body. However, Abelin quickly stopped her and said with a smile, "I'm fine, Aunt Priscilla. You don't have to worry."She opened her bag and took out a card from her wallet. Then, she shoved it in his hands. "This is a little something from me. The password is Holls' birthdate—618618. Since you saved her life and suffered so much, you should take this money and enjoy yourself."Holly gave Priscilla the card while they were on their way there. She knew that Abelin definitely
Holly rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Not yet. I'm waiting for Arthur to yield first."After they got out of the airport, a black limited edition limousine stopped at the entrance and waited for them. When the window rolled down, they saw a cold and dashing face. Under the sunlight, the man's facial features were well-defined, and it would be hard to hide his radiance.Holly was stunned at first. Then, she was happily surprised. She picked up her pace and approached the car. "Didn't you say you had an important meeting? Why are you here?"Bryce opened the door. "The meeting is over, and I'm heading to a subsidiary company to check it out. Since I was passing by, I decided to pick you up. Get in."She bent over to get into the vehicle. Just as Priscilla was about to open the door on the other side, Bryce frowned subtly. "Mom, you should take your car. I'm not used to having outsiders in the same car as me."She was stunned when she heard him call her an outsider, feeling like sh
It was a long journey that took three hours, and Bryce and Holly finally arrived at the crash site. After they got out of the car, they stood on the pier in the middle of the night and looked into the distance.There didn't seem to be an end to the vast ocean. The waves crashed on the shore, sounding like they were crying.The authorities had sent out rescue teams and began searching the area. However, the ocean was too big, and the waves were too strong. They looked tiny in the middle of the ocean.Holly's face appeared pale as she looked at the water. Her heart was as cold as the night. Bryce held her cold fingers and said, "The rescue team I've sent is already searching, so just wait for the good news. He'll definitely be alright."Although that might be the case, there was no way she wouldn't be worried. Holly stared into the dark ocean and asked, "Are there any other boats?"He held her finger tightly. "What are you planning?""I want to search for him myself.""Don't be
But in the face of danger, Bryce let go of all his hatred and was worried for Abelin. He even sent out a rescue team to find him the first chance he got.Right this instant, Holly felt like the efforts she had put into taking care of him these past two years had paid off.Such was life. You reaped what you sowed.She wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her head into his chest, accidentally brushing her hand against his fingertips.They were ice cold.Holly said lightly, "Let's head back. The wind's picking up, and you have to go to work tomorrow.""Alright." Bryce patted her head. "You need the rest to have the energy to wait for him."Holly couldn't help feeling moved.Bryce couldn't even stand to hear Abelin's name back then. But here he was, saying stuff like this.It couldn't be easy for him, considering his temper.Holly felt incredibly guilty. Softly, she said, "I'm sorry."Bryce lowered his gaze, softening it. "Why are you apologizing?""I'm being too emotio
"Is it Abelin?" Holly said, her voice trembling. Her heart beat wildly.Bryce stared at the bloated, disfigured face. He said in a low voice, "No. It's a random person.""Why did you cover my eyes, then?""You'll get nightmares. It's best if you don't look.""No. Let me look. Don't lie to me." Holly did her best to pry apart his fingers.Bryce was afraid she'd hurt herself, so he let go.Holly ran to the corpse, staring intently at the man's features.Three minutes later, she decided that it wasn't Abelin.She sighed in relief and hung her head. She apologized to the rescuer, "I'm sorry I troubled you."The families of the victims all surged toward the stretcher, fighting to see if the corpse belonged to their family member.Just like that, about four bodies were collected from noon until night.Everyone's heart was beating anxiously.They were all afraid that it would be their loved ones.As long as there was no body, it was possible that they were alive.No matter how m
Merope was hurt by his words.She stared at the sneering Bryce and said, "What do you mean by that? You should be more courteous."Bryce smirked. "Since you're brave enough to do dirty things in secret, you should be brave enough to face the criticism."Merope's expression shifted to one of disdain. "So you know who I am?"Bryce looked nonchalant. "You've given yourself away by appearing here. There's no need to cover it up and pretend that nothing happened."Merope's eyes gradually revealed her anger. "So you know Abel's real identity, don't you?"Bryce scoffed coldly.Merope's face turned ashen. She wrung her hands, making her knuckles pop. "I knew it. I just knew that something would happen to Abel one day. I just knew…"She rushed up and grabbed Bryce by the collar, glaring at him. She seethed with anger as she said, "It must be you! You killed him!"Bryce grabbed her wrists and removed them from his collar.He brushed off some non-existent dust off his lapel and said lig
