Eleanor was pregnant with Richard Athelstan’s child. It made Orlando not need to do anything anymore. He intends to live with me wholeheartedly. In the future, he would only send me things that I like
“No way. It’s not like that, Celin, Please, don’t be so cruel. Give me another chance. I love you, Celine Reverie. I love you, I will get you back”
Orlando asked someone to check my recent movements again. He knew that I was already clear about the whole truth. It was also not until this point that he believed that I really wanted to divorce him.
While he was frantically pining for me with guilt, he mobilized all his resources to find my whereabouts. Until after determining my parochial address.
Orlando almost non–stop running to find me. Berkshire Hathaway was remote. The conditions were simple. The first time he saw me, his eyes were uncontrollably wet
He could hardly imagine how I, who had been raised by him like a delicate flower in the past few years, could manage to hold on here. He stood at the door of the classroom. He only looked at me, who used to be well–dressed, wearing simple jeans and a taupe top and teaching at the podium.
There were pairs of bright and clear eyes underneath. He watched me teach with great spirit. My formerly fair skin was beginning to darken. My hair was simply tied back once more. But I felt that Iv
alt that I was more dazzling than ever
It wasn’t until the end of the class that he and I met eye to eye. It was only then that he wiped his palms in embarrassment and muffled a cry.
“Celine, my love.”
tely called out to me, “Hello, Ms. Celine.”
One by one, the children passed me by. Each of them
After I responded patiently and gave instructions, I nodded towards Orlando. Then I brought him to the office. I said it was an office, but it was just a simple room with windows that needed to be glued up with newspaper.
After he looked around for a bit, his voice line all started to tremble, “Celine Reverie, I miss you so much.”
Before he could finish, it was lunchtime. The school’s meal time was half an hour. I didn’t want to delay ot because of myself. So I had to interrupt him again and go to eat.
Although the conditions here were not good and the meals eaten were simple. Even the meat dishes were just some minced meat stewed with winter melon.
Yet I ate more flavorfully than ever before. I feel incredibly down to earth here. But Orlando Humphrey on the opposite side of the table was always watching me with a gaze of pity and heartache.
The meal in front of him only took a bite before he stopped moving his spoon. I was quite dissatisfied with this, but I did not say much. I didn’t want to care about him
Orlando refused to leave and finally, the principal stepped in and found him an empty classroom as a room to

In the end, I didn’t get tired of it and promised to talk to him properly. It had just rained. I skillfully rainboots and walked with him on the muddy path. The air was filled with the scent of earth.
“What else do you think we have to talk about?”

I was fed up with his eyes that were so deep in love. I stopped my steps and said the first full sentence that I had said to him in this half a month.
Orlando’s expression was complicated. His eyes were full of guilt. He who has always had a cleanliness fetish, has already lost a large circle of weight in half a month of light. The clothes that fit him when he first arrived were hanging loosely on him at this moment.
At this moment, he did not mind the dirtiness and kneeled on the ground. “Celine Reverie, I really know I was wrong. I was blinded by greed at the time. I deeply loved Eleanor Celeste at that time. Then Richard Athelstan did not love you at all. So, I just thought of letting everyone be relieved.”
“But Celine, after being with you, I realized that you never thought of using the child to tie him down. You just wanted to have close relatives that belonged to you. I really know I was wrong about you, Celine.”
I just looked at Orlando in silence. He still wanted to continue his words, “Do you still remember? You said that from now on I’m your most important person and your closest relative. I also promised to protect you forever, Celine Please, give me another chance, okay? Let’s be together again, only us.”
I watched the man who had always been a high and cold person before. He was kneeling in front of me with tear–filled eyes and holding the sapphire brooch that I had once longed for in my hand, but my heart couldn’t afford a single ripple
I said in my heart, ‘It’s just those two children.‘ I closed my eyes and took another deep breath. I then ruthlessly slapped Orlando’s face.
“Orlando, who do you think you are? If you love Eleanor Celeste, then you should go after her. Why did you hurt me? What crime did my child commit? Or what crime did I commit? Why do you treat me like this?”
Orlando just heard my words in silence. I still continued my words, “Do you know how much I hated myself when I realized that you were the culprit of everything? Do you know how ridiculous I felt when I saw what was in the safe? Do you know how much I hated you when you watched me fall in a pool of blood for Eleanor? Give you a chance, do you deserve it?”
I looked deeply at this face that I once saw as my salvation. I only felt so disgusting.
Watching his spine bend inch by inch, I sighed. “Orlando Humphrey, in fact, if it wasn’t for the lack of evidence, I would’ve already personally sent you in to atone for my child’s sins.”
After saying that I didn’t look back. I wanted to leave him. But a figure suddenly jumped out of the bushes next to me. In my haste, I once again saw Eleanor’s familiar face.
Her mouth cursed viciously, “Celine Reverie, why are you always like a ghost? Why do you always want to take away everything that belongs to me?”
She held a bright fruit knife in her hand and stabbed at me. I couldn’t dodge it in time. At the critical moment, I fell into a warm and familiar embrace.
It was followed by the sound of the blade of the knife not penetrating the flesh. The man overhead collapsed into my arms with a muffled grunt. The passing teachers took control of Eleanor Celeste.
Orlando’s face was pale as he pulled on my sleeve. I didn’t say anything and only pressed hard on his wound.
Soon the emergency ambulance stopped at the foot of the mountain. A few male teachers helped carry the person down.
Before leaving, I looked at him. “Orlando Humphrey, if you are really good to me, don’t bother me anymore.”
