"I usually use my English name abroad and seldom use my original name." Caesar explained, "My
original name is…"
His phone rang when he was about to continue.
He picked up the phone and glanced at Nora who was on the verge of tears, "Sorry, I need to answer
the phone."
Finishing his words, he turned around with a hand holding the phone next to his ear and the other in
the pocket. Shined by the moon, he looked taller and more muscular.
Nora just stared at his back.
"I was just returning the call from Chad. I will be right back. Wait for two minutes." It seemed that he
had something to deal with and had to leave now.
Finishing the call, he turned around and glanced at Nora, who was still gazing at him like a lover.
"Miss, I have something urgent, so I need to go now. Bye." He put the phone away and took a step to
leave.
Nora watched him walk away. After his several steps, she realized and caught up with him without
hesitation, "Wait!"
Caesar stopped and looked at her coming running.
He looked her over from head to toe like a judge.
There was no doubt that Nora was wonderful tonight, to say nothing of her flawless appearance.
A black velvet halter dress showed off the charming curves of her body and snow-white skin. What was
important was that her back was totally exposed. No man could control himself when seeing her
beautiful sphenoid and slender waist.
"You are really beautiful, but if you keep acting like this, I am afraid that you will degrade yourself." He
gently reminded her to stop pursuing him.
People here were all respectable, so they needed to mind their own behavior.
"I just want to know your original name." She didn't mean to get tangled with him. It was just difficult for
her to overcome the obsessiveness when she saw a man like Oscar.
"If there is predestined to meet again, you will know it. There will be plenty of time. I have to go.
Someone is waiting for me." Caesar kept restraint and gentle.
However, Nora felt his indifference and alienation again.
Nora watched him walking away quickly. There was only herself out of her mind.
"Nora, what's wrong?"
Not long after he left, Rose came. Maybe she had waited for Nora for a long time, so she wanted to find
her, but only found that she stood there like a statue.
Nora didn't respond. Rose walked up to her and saw her eyes darker than the night.
"Nora, don't scare me. What happened?" Rose caught her arms and gave her a little shake.
Nora suddenly held her in arms and cried, "Rose, I saw him. But he said he wasn't him and he didn't
know who I am. What should I do?"
Hearing that, Rose was confused. It was just like nonsense that he was not him.
Rose reached out and touched her forehead, then again, confirming that she didn't have a fever, "What
are you talking about? I don't understand."
"I…I…" Nora was anxious and momentarily lost for words.
"Don't worry. Take a deep breath and speak slowly." Rose patted her back, trying to calm her down.
Nora closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "I said I saw Oscar, but he said he was Caesar, not
Oscar."
"Maybe you were hallucinating and got the wrong person." Rose tried to analyze for her.
"I was not hallucinating. He is really alive. I held him and his body was warm. His scent was the same
as Oscar's. He liked the perfume of salt water mint." Nora was certain.
"You can't tell it's him by the smell." Rose paused and organized her words carefully, trying not to hurt
Nora, "and you said he was alive and warm, but Oscar passed away."
Nora stepped back with her face ghastly white and squatted down slowly like a helpless abandoned
baby.
"Nora, I know it is cruel to say so, but Oscar was dead. Sober up!" Rose looked at her feeling hurt and
sad, which made her feel a lump in her throat.
"He is always in my mind." Nora clutched at her heart, "He never leaves me."
Rose turned her face away and blinked. She put her fist under the nose and didn't know what to say.
She could just stay with her quietly without disturbing her.
When Nora's phone rang, she still kept immobile. Rose picked up the phone and it was Alan, "Mr. Way,
it is Rose speaking."
"Where is Nora?" Alan asked.
"She is with me." Rose glanced at Nora who was still in pain.
"My third sister is arriving. This time the whole family is here and we need to take a family photo. There
must be Nora. Where are you? I will meet you guys." Alan said.
"I will bring her there. See you later." Rose put the phone away and put her hands on Nora's shoulders,
"Nora, be brave."
Nora's eyes drooped and she forced back her frailty.
"The Way family is going to take a family photo. Freshen yourself up and be beautiful." Rose smiled
and gave her makeup with a compact and put lipstick on her. She was still the brightest rose.
Rose picked her up, "Today's occasion is important. Don't lose your decency, or others will make fun of
you. And you don't need to be afraid. I will be with you."
Though Nora was still unwilling and disappointed, she had calmed down.
Rose and Nora returned to the venue and those guests invited were almost there. Jayden was also
there with Sia.
Sia saw Rose and came up happily, "Hey, sister Rose and Nora."
Jayden was wearing a pink shirt and a wine-red suit. Such a coquettish color didn't make him sissy but
somehow handsome, letting those single ladies' heart pound.
"Sister? Are you familiar with them?" Jayden said savagely.
Sia pressed her lips and clenched her hands.
"It's I that let her call us like this." Rose help Sia wipe away her embarrassment and comforted her, "He
has a sharp mouth. Don't quarrel with him."
"I know." Sia smiled and nodded, without taking his words to heart, "It's bustling out there."
"Today Hazel is coming back, and it is said that she brings an ethnic Chinese back." Jayden looked at
Patriarch Way and said, "Let us join in the fun."
