"My beloved wife Adele."
When she saw the words on the stone tablet clearly, she suddenly opened her eyes wide. She had a dull pain in heart, as if her heart was being stabbed by something.
Just now, she didn't see this because of the position where Isaac was standing. When he turned around, she saw it vaguely, but she didn't know how to react when she really saw it.
There were only four simple words on the jade-white stone tablet. There was even no signature, and the words were not neat and tidy. There were no pictures on it. But her eyes misted into tears when she saw such a simple stone tablet.
It was her stone tablet, wasn't it? Yeah, she was Adele.
If it weren't for the stone tablet, who would know that it was her final destination after she "died"?
It was shabby but gorgeous. He set such a stone tablet for her. Although he hadn't explained, she knew what he meant.
However... he had never responded to any of her expectations in the past. She had clearly told him she liked him, but he said to her blandly, "Little girl, what are you thinking about?"
Later, they had sex after she got drunk. She thought that they could finally be together, but he tried his best to avoid her. She was sad, but the more she had was happiness, because she finally became his woman. She thought that although he could not accept it for the time being, it was only a matter of time for him to be with her. She had waited for him for so many years, so she didn't mind continuing to wait for him.
She thought a lot, but she didn't expect that she would get pregnant. She told him the news with joy, but what about him? It had been three years, but she could remember how unhappy his face was and how ruthless his tone was at that time.
He didn't like her, did he? But what did these words mean? Wife? Was it her?
It was too shocking. She couldn't say anything and felt it ridiculous at the same time. Why did he give her the love that she had been looking forward to after she "died"? Was it because he was guilty that he wanted to compensate him?
"Didn't you ask me about the person I love? She is here."
After a long while, she heard Isaac's deep voice.
Her eyelashes trembled. From the moment he said the first word, her heart clanged like fifteen buckets in a single well. However, when he finished his words, she was a little stunned.
He didn't have a showdown, nor did he say who she was directly. He didn't know who she was, did he? But why did he ask her to come here?
"Three years ago..." Isaac paused, looked up at her, and then looked away, "She disappeared from my world without giving me time to prepare for it."
Isaac smiled gently and his eyes were full of helplessness and bitterness, "It's over there." He reached out and pointed to the cliff in front of him, saying, "She jumped down from there."
Adele's heart trembled violently as she looked over. At that time, she was full of grief and despair, and she only knew the general direction at this time, but she would never forget that kind of mood in the rest of her life.
"I have tried my best to look for her in the past three years. Especially at the beginning, I used all the methods I could think of and all the relationships I could use, but she didn't come back. Then, I stopped looking for her. If she is alive, how could she not come back since she loves me so much?"
"I made a mistake, so I have to make it up to you. Whether you want to go to work or not, you won't live a poor life in the future. You... can travel around the world when you're still young. As for..." He swallowed, "If you can, live somewhere else and try not to come back."
His words sounded so strange...
Adele's heart skipped a beat. Ignoring the expression on her face, she turned her head and stared at him, "What do you mean by this?"
Isaac smiled, "I mean that you will be free since tomorrow."
She wanted to ask more, but she didn't dare, and she was uneasier.
Having told her what he wanted to say, Isaac felt much more relaxed.
In the future, maybe the man who named Isaac would disappear in the world, but he had done what he wanted, and he could rest in peace. He only hoped that all the people he loved could live a safe and content life without him.
He looked at her and smiled gently, "You always want to leave, and now I really want to let you go. Why are you not happy?"
"Mr..." Adele bit her lip, "What happened to you?"
He said with a comforting smile, "I'm satisfied to hear you care about me. You don't have to worry about anything. Just leave. But before you leave, can you promise me one thing?"
