Chapter 6
After that, Bruce started to pester me and wanted to remarry me.”
He invited Dylan to return to the company, doubled his salary, and promoted him to the president.”
He bought an entire hotel for my parents as compensation for asking the thugs to harass my parents‘ restaurant.
He also arranged a store for my relatives to sell fruits.W
However, except for my relatives, my parents and Dylan did not accept his kindness because they did not want to embarrass me.”
Dylan had found a new job in another city. My parents were old, and managing a restaurant was no longer within their capabilities.”
Seeing that my family did not accept his compensation, Bruce came to my door again.
“Flora, I asked you to apologize to Carol before. Now I will do the same thing to you. I know I was wrong. Can you give me a chance to let me make it up to you? I will never make the same mistake again.”
Bruce looked at me affectionately, with great sincerity.”
I was not moved at all. “Bruce, the person you love is not me. It’s just your obsession. I never believe that a person will fall in love with another person just because he or she saved him. Haven’t you discovered it? You have never loved Carol or me. The thing you fell in love with was the warmth you got when you were young. In other words, you would have fallen in love with anyone who saved you. Your so–called love is not love, but just the obsession of who saved you.”
“No matter what, I will remember the damage you have done to me. You killed my child. I once thought about spending my life with you, but your actions failed me. There is no future for us anymore.”
After saying that, I was about to leave.”
He grabbed my leg and said humbly, “Flora, as long as you come back, I can transfer all the shares and properties to your name. I will work for you for the rest of my life and promise that I will never have any thoughts of cheating again. Come back to me, okay?“”
Seeing that he was stubborn, I didn’t want to get entangled with him anymore. “No, I don’t love you anymore. I hate you. You want me to live with a murderer? I’m sorry, I can’t do that.”
I broke free from his hand and strode forward.\
I took a week off and found myself a job as a designer.”
My colleagues in this department were all very nice, and they didn’t bully me just because I was a newcomer./
Bruce found out that I worked in this company and started to show me all kinds of attention.”
In the morning, he had someone send me a big bouquet of roses. I didn’t know it was from him until I saw the card stuck in the roses.”
[It’s a new day. I hope you will be as vigorous and bright as a rose:]
The card was signed by “a person who hopes to be forgiven.“”
Just by looking at the handwriting, I could tell it was from him.”
After being together for ten years, he never gave me any flowers. At first, I thought he was not a romantic man.”
Later, when I saw the roses that Bruce gave to Carol, I realized that he just didn’t want to be romantic with me.”
Since then, I hated roses. It was Carol’s favorite flower, but to me, it symbolized betrayal, deception, and infidelity.” Now Bruce sent me these flowers. Under the envious gaze of my colleagues, I threw the huge bouquet into the trash can.” My colleagues didn’t understand why I threw away the flowers. After I told them the reason, they understood it immediately and all supported my behavior.//
Bruce didn’t stop making trouble. At noon, he asked someone to send me a lunch box with a note on it.”
[No matter how busy you are, remember to eat lunch. This is made by myself. I hope you like it.]
I was quite surprised that Bruce could cook. After all, in the ten years we had been together, he had never cooked a meal and rarely went into the kitchen.
I was a little curious about his cooking skills.”
After opening the lunch box, I showed a sarcastic smile.
It was all beef, which Carol loved the most. When she lived at our house, Bruce asked the chef to cook many beef–related dishes to make her happy.!!
Bruce didn’t care about me at all, and he even didn’t know I was allergic to beef. The way he tried to please me still caused trouble for me.”
