Chapter 170 I Am Right In Front Of You
There were new toothbrush and toothpaste on the washroom's washbasin, as well as a row of Korean dishes. And there were all kinds of cosmetics, water, lotion, foundation and so on on there.
They hadn't been prepared yet when she took a bath here last night. Did Bruce bring it here? Perhaps these clothes were bought by Simon in his villa. For those rich people, it was a piece of cake to prepare these things. She didn't need to worry about it as long as she could use it.
After she washed up, she tied her hair into a high ponytail and quickly made a light makeup. She looked at herself in the mirror and found that she had regained most of her energy.
She was somewhat dissatisfied. The man who never paid attention to his appearance had a little squabble. Eventually, she sighed and decided to let it be. Although appearance was an important thing, a man usually didn't want to wait for a long time for a woman to put on makeup.
It was not easy for them to meet each other. There was no need to waste time on such a boring thing.
As soon as she walked out of the bathroom, she felt a rush of panic as she didn't see Bruce.
"Bruce, Bruce!"
Was it because she had a dream in which Bruce came to pick her up. Yes, he was worried about Jean most. At this moment, he should be with her. How could he have time to look for her?
However, she felt so real when she was held by his strong arms, as he kissed her gently and said those words.
But where was he now?
When she collapsed on the sofa dejectedly, the door was pushed open and in came Bruce. He walked against the light. His white shirt seemed to be stained with light and looked very outstanding.
Without hesitation, she rushed over, jumped into his arms, and put her hands around the back of his waist. "Bruce, where did you go?" she asked in a slightly panic voice
Her excessive warmth was a shock to Bruce. Even though he felt unbelievable, he held her into his arms quickly.
"I went out and made a phone call." His eyes were as bright as the night sky. "What's wrong? Are you afraid that I will get lost and can't find you?" he asked
She said in a nervous tone, "no! I'm afraid that you've never been here before. "
Bruce caressed her hair gently and said, "what nonsense are you talking about? Since when have I given you such an unbelievable feeling? Look at me! I'm in front of you now! "
"I know you're right in front of me, but I'm afraid that you'll leave here the next moment," said Polly, unwilling to let go of him and burying her face in his arms. I'm afraid you'll look for her. "
After hesitating for a while, she spoke out her doubts. She regretted speaking it as soon as she said it. It was horrible to mention others in this room where there were only the two of them.
Before Bruce could say anything, she added in a more serious tone, "well, I don't care what you think. Don't think about her at this time. Say anything about her!"
Looking at the little woman showing her bossy manner in front of him for the first time, the smile in his eyes deepened, and her slender body was tightly pressed on his strong chest.
"Dear Polly! How could she be here?" He took her hand to touch his heart and said, "you are always the only one here."
"Humph!" Polly snorted in displeasure. I have expected that he would say that, but she is very happy that a man is willing to spend time to please you, which means that he cares about you.
Maybe that care was not enough, but for now, it was enough.
"What? You don't believe me?" As he said in an alluring voice, "touch here as you like. Your heart will only beat for yourself."
"Yes, I know." Said Polly.
What she wanted to say the most was actually, are these words true or not? She didn't say it in the end. Because she knew it was not true. Just as what Simon had done to Ellie, he would make his beloved woman happy and say all sweet words even though there were countless women around him. But still, the one in his heart was still Ellie.
Nobody could replace her.
What's more, her marriage with him was not based on love from the very beginning. At the same time, both of them had someone they liked in their hearts. However, as her heart gradually fell down, he could still maintain his original intention.
This spoony man was both fascinating and annoying.
What fascinated her was the illusion that he would transfer his mind to her one day; what annoyed her was that his heart would never change, once he fell in love with a person, it would never change.
But she didn't want to ruin the atmosphere just now. Harry was so big that couldn't hold him. All these were his wishful thinking.
Shaking his head, he sighed, "no, Dear Polly. You don't know..."
She seemed to have not finished the sentence, but she waited for a long time, and she did not continue.
In fact, she was the one who didn't understand what he was talking about. But since she didn't understand, she thought it was unnecessary to be so stubborn. You just need to know that it's him who's by your side now. And he's by your side. That's enough.
Of course, it was just a compromise. No woman in the world would be willing to be the only man in their love.
Beloved man! She suddenly realized the problem. Not knowing from when, Bruce had slowly become the most important person in her life.
She had always been with him in the past. She had not noticed this point and always thought that they had only a contractual relationship. After so many days apart, he was always the man who flashed past her in front of her at the crucial moment of life and death.
But when she confirmed her feelings for him, she knew that he had always cared about others. She regretted that she couldn't be so attentive to him during the time when they were together.
If she did her best, maybe he would like her more. Even if the outcome was the same. At least she had tried hard.
The fresh and good smell of Bruce lingered in her nose, making her intoxicated. She wanted to stay in his arms like this all the time. But she knew that it was not the best time to have a romantic relationship. Warmth was just temporary. She had so many questions.
She pulled Bruce to sit down on the sofa and asked, "Bruce, when did you come here?"
The two sat side by side, and Bruce held her hand and pressed it on his lap, her clear black eyes reflecting her figure.
It never occurred to her that such clear eyes would be so scorching that she could not look at them directly. His tone of speech and the aura he gave off seemed to be able to sparkle in the collision of the surrounding air.
"This morning."
"What time is it?"
"No, I haven't. It's about eight o'clock now." He recalled the moment when he first came here. Before she woke up, she was curled up in a big bed like a little lazy cat. She was so thin that no one could recognize that she was thin.
He walked to the bedside and was sure that she was there.
"Have you seen Avril? She is my roommate. You know her too!"
"I didn't see her. I went directly to your room and only saw you lying on the bed. " "What's wrong? Avril is here too? "
Polly had no time to argue with him. She nodded seriously.
If Bruce didn't know that Avril was here, then he definitely didn't know that she was brought from the stairs to the bedroom by someone. Since he didn't know, she shouldn't say anything more in order to avoid his worry.
"Why is Avril here?"
Before speaking, Polly thought it over and said, "it seems that Simon is an important client of Avril." She tried to find an excuse.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She knew that once she asked this question, Bruce would be suspicious, but compared to it, she cared more about Avril's life safety. As he had expected, Bruce didn't believe it. Instead, with a faint smile on his face, he mumbled, "an important client? So important that he can bring her to a very private place like the JC Island? "
Hearing this, Polly said nothing.
The woman in black last night told her that Simon bought the JC Island for his Ellie's feelings and that he wanted to honor his beloved woman.
The island was usually guarded closely by some guards in the center of the Pacific Ocean. Although the luxurious villa on the island was not inhabited by anyone, it had a lot of servants, the same scale as the villa of the Shen family in Z city. The island was decorated like a garden by the gardeners who were in charge of decorating the island.
This was his home that he had always thought of, a family that quietly combined with Chu. Ellie passed away in May and he would stay here for a whole may every year.
He hoped to see a clean and tidy home as soon as he came back.
In the past, Simon would come back alone. He didn't want anyone to disturb her. He considered this place to be the unique and clean land for both of them. But this year, he took two women with him. One was Avril, the other was her.
However, no matter how many women he brought back, everything here was Ellie, such as plants, houses and people.
She felt that Simon had a very strong and special feeling to Ellie, either love, or anything else. Either way, she felt that it was very terrible.
The gloomy and dark temperament on him was so attractive to an innocent girl like Avril, but a man like them couldn't have his heart.
Perhaps, he had a different feeling for Avril, but that kind of feeling was limited. No matter what happened to him, it would cause a disaster.
She hoped that Avril could understand this truth earlier. They had walked out of this place which looked like a flourishing flower in the sky, but in fact, there was no popularity at all. She decided to leave this man, who looked gentle and affectionate but in fact had buried all his love deep in his heart.
The atmosphere in the room was a little bit oppressive, and Bruce opened the window.
A faint fragrance mixed with a fresh sea breeze came over. Different from the romantic and burning scent he smelled last night, this song didn't have the fragrance of firework. It smelled like flowers and plants from nature.
Compared with the night, the island smells salty and fishy which people couldn't stand it in daytime. It seemed to be purer and better under the sunlight.
Polly Han leaned against Bruce, looking into the distance where the dazzling white flowers blossomed.
