The person who went to protect her even recorded a video. In the video, the little girl wandered aimlessly down the street, occasionally glancing at her phone, probably to see if he had replied to her messages.
That was the first time he saw her. Her long hair was tied in a high ponytail, and her little face was scrunched up, sometimes biting her lip.
She was very pretty; that was his first impression after seeing her. A girl with such a nice voice and such good looks. He watched the video for a long time.
It was a pity that he was injured at that time and couldn’t meet her. However, he later thought that if he had gone to see her back then, would everything have been different?
“What about later? After you got better, why didn’t you come to find me? Was it because I wasn’t of age at that time? After I turned eighteen, why didn’t you come to find me?”
Sam Noah’s gaze gradually dimmed, but the smile on his lips remained, “When I went to find you, you were already with someone else.”
“…”
At that time, he was studying abroad. Although they hadn’t chatted much, he still kept an eye on her movements. He would look at every update she posted, so he knew she was going to do her graduation performance. He was still abroad and hadn’t taken over the Sam family’s power yet.
He really shouldn’t have gone to find her at that time, but he suddenly had an urgent desire to see her. At that time, she had turned eighteen, graduated, and wasn’t so busy anymore. Could they continue chatting? Perhaps there could be something more than just chatting.
So he pushed everything aside and flew to the bar where she was performing. He bought her favorite roses, and in the midst of a cheering crowd, he saw her deeply embracing another boy.
It turned out she already had someone she liked. He watched for a long time, his heart feeling as if it were soaked in poison, the longer he stayed, the more it seeped through.
This was the ending between her and him; she was ultimately someone outside his world. He placed the flowers on a distant table and turned to leave, and then he never appeared in front of her again. Her social media profile picture never lit up again, and just like that, they became the kind of thin and pale online friends connected by just a thread of the internet. Until later… later… that accident.
Thelma really didn’t expect Sam Noah had come to find her.
If she hadn’t said those things to Eric back then, would she and he have been together much earlier? Now that she liked this man so much, if he had appeared back then, she would have liked him too.
However, time cannot be rewound. In fact, upon careful thought, meeting Sam Noah in this way was the best. She appeared in his life when he was at his lowest, and he appeared in her life when she was at her lowest. Fate is probably predetermined; it knows that the two of them appearing in each other’s lives in this way is the most unforgettable.
Now that she could be with Mr. Sam, Thelma truly felt very content. Even the past missed opportunities felt like a beautiful miss.
Actually, all the way back, she had been struggling with whether to let him know that she had remembered. If he knew, would he blame her for the things she had done in the past?
But after saying everything, she finally understood that her worries were unnecessary. Her Noah would always love her, no matter what.
Everything in the past was just a lesson for her. After going through so much, she felt enlightened. In the future, she would do better, be a good wife, and a good mother to Tyler.
His embrace was really warm, and she couldn’t help but snuggle against him.
Feeling very satisfied, Thelma looked up and smiled at him, “Are you tired?”
When she smiled, her eyes curved beautifully, and he couldn’t help but kiss her eyes, his smile filled with affection, “Not tired. Are you tired?”
“No.”
“Do the words you said to me before still count?” he suddenly asked.
“What words?”
He cleared his throat, pretending to be calm, “You said you loved me to the bone?”
“To the core?”
“Mm.”
“Of course it counts.”
