Her words, like a magician, helped him recall sothing.
He rembered.
A picture. A clear picture.
He found the door wasn’t locked up. So he opened the door directly. A little girl was singing on the bed.
Hearing the sound, the girl turned off the Walkman imdiately and turned around alertly. Perhaps she’s been criticized by her family many tis. She thought it was her father again. Seeing a strange boy at the door, she looked surprised.
The boy looked pretty. Looking at her eyes, he smiled and asked, "Sorry, I might lose."
Edie recalled. She missed the old day sotis.
"At that ti, I hated you because Victoria likes you. I think you are friends. You are as bad as her."
But Donald took more interest in Edie.
Then, naturally, they beca friends.
One ti, when she was beaten by Mrs. Greg again and ran to his house, Donald finally said, "Be my girlfriend. Allow to take care of you. Okay?"
For the public, Donald was a competent man with a promising future. He was the heir of the Hawk Real Estate. Only Edie knew his helplessness. Mrs. Lynch never treated him kindly. He was no one in the family. To so extent, they were in the sa situation.
"You graduated before and took an MBA in the United States. I want to learn acting. Before I went to college, you ca back to see off. You kiss for the first ti."
"No. You kiss first."
Donald interrupted her suddenly.
"What?"
She looked at Donald in shock, "do you rember it?"
"While you are telling , I rember more and more. I rember you looked really sad, but you didn’t cry. I want to hug you in my arms. But it was ti for you to get abroad. You need to leave. But you turned back and grabbed my collar, and then you kissed ."
Sotis, the difference in the mory was so subtle.
Donald struggled to catch the shattered piece of his mory before but failed. His headache got worse.
Now, while Edie told him, he easily recalled more and more.
Edie smiled and nodded, "you are right. At that ti, I thought I would leave you anyway. I don’t have to worry about awkwardness. But you stopped and told the boy should take the initiative."
Then Donald kissed her on her lips.
The love between teenagers was so pure.
"After that, it beca harder for us to et each other. My family didn’t allow to learn acting. So they no longer provide with support. I have no money, so I had to get several part-ti jobs. You got really angry after hearing about this. You knew I wouldn’t take your money. So you lent money to . You told to return the money to you after I graduated. Thanks to you, I finally graduated from college,"
"You ca back every sumr holiday. I liked the sumr holiday the most. We finally could date. Normally, we watch movies in bed. I wouldn’t say I like cooking, so you made dinner for us. You got better and better at cooking."
Donald continued telling the story, "You like the beefsteak in a restaurant, but I couldn’t go there with you. So I decided to cook it for you. No wonder I couldn’t cook after forgetting you. Because I started learning cooking after eting you."
He never expected that he would cook for won.
"When we couldn’t date, you called every day. My friends wondered whether I hid my boyfriend on my smartphone. You would send a video and order a birthday cake for my birthday. But you couldn’t attend my birthday party.
Edie sounded a little sad when talking about this.
"Donald, even if you didn’t forget , it is still impossible for us to get married. Haven’t you realized this?"
Donald looked at her blankly. He recalled everything between them.
He heard Edie’s words.
Her boyfriend was on her smartphone.
He couldn’t stay with her on her birthday.
They couldn’t get married.
Each of her words was burning his heart.
So, this was the story of their love.
So fragile and weak.
Though they loved each other deeply, the couple struggled to maintain the relationship. But the couple were also weak in front of reality.
"you are actually persuading , right?" Donald forced a bitter smile.
Looking at the bitterness in the man’s eyes, Edie couldn’t help bursting into tears again.
She saw his smile in her mory again.
"Yes, this is what I want to tell you. Donald, this is the best result for both of us. You now should love Joanna. She would also love you back. I t Stuart. He loves so much. I also love him."
"Well. The best result, indeed." Donald felt too weak to refute,
He wanted to recall what happened between him and Edie. He thought their life must be happier than her life at present.
He was actually looking for a piece of evidence.
Evidence to prove that he’s better than Stuart, but the fact told him he was wrong.
He couldn’t give Edie happiness.
This ti, he totally lost the faith.
"Thank you for telling all this. But...I want to ask you. Did you regret dating ? I’ve caused you so much pain."
He asked in a trembling voice, with deep guilty,
Edie nodded and smiled. Her eyes were full of tears.
"I never regretted it. I am from a poor family. I thought if God really exists, he must hate . So he throws into the darkness. But it made et with you. You are the sunlight in my dark world. If it was not you, I might suicide. You made believe that life is bright. "
"I never regret either, for everything I’ve done for you."
Donald murmured.
He smiled and was relieved.
Edie stayed with Donald for several hours.
When she prepared to leave, she asked Donald suddenly, "would you attend my wedding?"
"Of course,"
