I fixed my makeup in the bathroom, made sure my face didn’t show anything from the past, and then walked out with peace of
mind.
But Ethan was gone.
“Honey, that guy is really weird. He’s a grown man, but he actually cried after listening to our love story.”
“Really? I guess you’re better at telling stories now!”
Hearing my praise, Steve grabbed me and held me in his arms.
“He looked quite pitiful. I could tell that he was a man with a story.”
I stroked the scar that people wouldn’t see if they didn’t pay attention and kissed Steve’s lips.
“I don’t care about other people’s stories. Our story is the best.“E
In the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a man staggering by.
It was Ethan.I
Later, he came to our B&B every few days and stayed there for a long time.
Whenever Ethan heard Steve telling him about our lives, his eyes would turn red.”
It was just like the time when we lived in the basement. At that time, he hugged me often and promised to give me the best life.
It became a distant memory for me, and I felt nothing recalling it.
When Steve went out to fish, Ethan came again.
As usual, he poured himself a glass of lemonade.
He hated lemonade the most, but now it seemed that he couldn’t have enough of it.
He was in a daze, and I was busy talking with other guests as usual.!!
When I finished working, he called me,”
“Yara, do you really wanna give up on me and our son?”
I clenched the towel in my hand, wondering when and how he recognized me.!
“Sir, you got the wrong person.”
I gave Ethan the same smile I gave to all the guests.
“Yara, you’ve changed.“”
“Sir, if you are bored, you can wait for my husband. He’ll chat with you. He is better at telling stories than I am.”
I had no place to reminisce with him.
However, he seemed not to understand what I said. He stood up suddenly and grabbed my hand.
“Yara, I’ll always remember those scars. No matter how well you cover them up, I know it’s you.”
The red mole on the palm of my hand seemed to betray me.
I pulled my hand out of his.
“Mr. Sean, does Mrs. Sean know that you left such a big company unattended just to look for a dead ex–wife?”
I couldn’t forget the grand wedding he and Brenda had on the day of my divorce.!!
But later, Brenda faded out of public sight. I tried my best to avoid learning domestic–news and no longer paid attention to
their lives.
Ethan’s chest heaved violently, and his eyes were full of hope.
“Yara. You’ve always be Mrs. Sean. No one can replace you!”
