Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1997

......

In the restaurant, watching the two mumble and talk, Carolien drank up her cup of Cappuccino directly.

While she was still absent-minded, a bright yellow figure appeared in front of her accompanied by a gentle voice, "Sorry to keep you waiting. I had something to do... Hmm, I was pestered by Elijah... After a few words, I wasted some time!"

Kim Mi-chi's face was full of apologies and her words were also very obscure. What was there to flaunt? It was weak. The real trouble was that she wanted to say something like that. She was so smart that she didn't lie.

Kim Mi-chi was very confident in this aspect, because she had been psychologically educated and given instructions before. In addition, she was talented in acting, so she knew how to make it seem more real.

It was a pity that she had forgotten that her opponent was rolling around in nightclubs, where good and bad people mixed up. For Carolien, although these were not what she could play with, they would not make her completely lose her mind. So, she looked straight at her and sneered.

"Is this the reason why you asked me out? To let me see such a good show? Such a beautiful view, such a beautiful picture, but without a voice, I can only read the picture! Our culture is extensive and profound. Unfortunately, I'm not good at language. I almost failed. So I'll always remember a sentence said by a teacher. If you don't understand, don't make a rash conclusion, because at least you won't be wrong before you reach a conclusion!"

The implication was that she didn't see anything!

Unexpectedly, Carolien was so direct and her tone was so calm. Sitting opposite to her, Kim Mi-chi's gentleness on her face disappeared instantly. "Miss Jones, I have nothing to say if you want to misunderstand me so much! I asked you to come here because I want to tell you that Elijah will not like you!"

Carolien could not help laughing out loud.

"Haha, what right do you have to say this to me? Does my relationship with Elijah have anything to do with you? Or do you want to say that he likes you?"

All of a sudden, Carolien felt that she really did not want to dawdle around to listen to this boring nonsense.

She subconsciously turned around and wanted to carry her bag. At that moment, Kim Mi-chi said something that was out of her expectations. "Elijah doesn't like any woman, the woman he likes is already dead!"

She turned her head suddenly, and Carolien was indeed stunned.

This answer was indeed too confusing. For a moment, Carolien could not even see through the woman in front of her.

After drinking some water, Kim Mi-chi said,

"So, do you know why there are no women around such an outstanding man like Elijah for so many years? To put it bluntly, the two of us are just some playthings for him to fill up the emptiness. We are the same kind of person! I just want to remind you that if you don't want to get hurt, you'd better leave him early. The woman he loves is no longer in this world, and I—"

I look exactly the same as that woman, and I have more of a chance!

Before Kim Mi-chi could finish, Carolien interrupted her directly, "No one can make me leave him except for Elijah himself. Besides, he is an old friend? Thank you for your kindness!"

But now, she did not believe in the "good intentions" of others. Nothing brought benefits. No matter what her purpose was, the weight of Carolien's obsession had already been stable- Her words had a purpose! A bad purpose!

Moreover, she did not want to know these things of the past. At least at this moment, she thought so! So, she thought that the simplest way to deal with it was to do everything that day, and she pretended that it did not happen.

...

Her words were natural and reasonable, but Carolien's mood was more or less affected when she came out. It was not because of his deceased lover, but because of the living woman beside Elijah. There was probably no woman who was willing to serve a husband!

Calming down for a long time, Carolien finally chose not to mention a word on this matter. The two of them were the same as before. If they did not think about it, it was sweet and beautiful. On the other side, keeping an eye on the two people's movements, Kim Mi-chi was so anxious that she almost jumped.

Sure enough, if she didn't get close to Elijah, everything would be for naught!

Finally, a chance came—the 14th of April, Gracie's birthday.

According to past years, on this day, Elijah fixed it as a leave day. Only on this day, he didn't talk about official business matters and rarely took calls.

It took her a lot of effort to find out that on this day, he would go to a small courtyard next to Gracie's graveyard for a day. It was a small garden, which had been managed by a special person. It was said that there had been many beautiful memories of the two people. Moreover, from a distance, he could see the orphanage where she had stayed. There was also a pool, which was also a quiet place with beautiful mountains and clear water. Plus, it was the time when the sun was neither hot nor glaring, and the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming. Elijah would come here every year on this day.

Sure enough, when she arrived early in the morning, she saw the familiar black car parked in front of a farmyard. Through the fence, she saw the beautiful scenery of flowers blooming inside and some vegetables and fruits. In the yard, there was a middle-aged couple who were cleaning, and there were several yellow cats of different sizes. The yard behind should have been newly built. The yard was full of red bricks and white walls. This yard was a small corner of a city, which was a little deep and secluded because it hadn't been extended out. It also retained some simple rural style. Because of this, the yard didn't appear to be dilapidated for many years after the expansion of the tourist area around it.

Although Gracie was buried in the tomb area on the mountain in the original place, Elijah had deliberately chosen this place to pay his respects to her. On this day of each year, Elijah would cut a bunch of flowers and place it on her tombstone.

This year, Elijah still went. Only, this time, he didn't come to cut the red roses in the flower room in the courtyard, but rather brought a bunch of flowers with a card that read "Don't forget me".
