At last, Miya compromises and rests at peace on the Alex’s chest, she asks, “If Susan didn’t leave,
would you marry me?”
“Yes, I would.” Alex says unhesitatingly.
But Miya thinks Alex just tries to cheat her. Yet she doesn’t feel it hurts too much, because a man tells
lies when he loves this woman.
“That’s enough for me.”Miya closes her eyes, she’s tired already.
Miya doesn’t know why she’s been sleepy and agitated recently. Miya’s almost hating herself. If she
was Alex, she would hard to put up with this Miya.
Alex doesn’t know how Miya thinks. He considers compensating Susan in the most vulgar way.
He dials the number of Randy, asking him come over and prepare a dowry. If she doesn’t want to marry
other man, he has no choice, as he can’t share his love to a second woman.
The next early morning, they left the hotel. They were supposed to travel happily, but there were people
who should not be there around them. Their mood is spoiled.
A woman in white dress looks at the empty room, seems to be in a trance, “Did they leave the hotel this
morning?”
“Yes, they left in a hurry.” The hotel receptionist answers her honestly.
“Oh? Alex, am I a monster that scares you so much?” she can’t hold back her tears.
“Miss Susuan, someone is looking for you.”
Susan has been staying in this place for a long time, people in this village are very nice. She is always
polite and elegant in the eyes of the villagers. Besides, she looks pretty and is good at painting, so she
is treated as a goddess in this place.
Later, she thought this village had a good view although the villagers lived in poverty. So, she
suggested them to develop the tourism. They did earn money. As a result, the villagers are more
respectful to her.
But she didn’t tell them it wasn’t her idea, she copied other’s.
“Miss Susan, It’s been a long time.” Randy says hello to this good-looking lady.
Susan looks at Randy with a bit of sneer, “Does he hate me so much? Doesn’t he even want to see
me?”
Randy knows who is the “he” that she mentions. He has a notebook in his hands, waving and the
people who carry things come in.
“These are dowries from Alex. Title deeds of different countries and cities are in the notebook. He
thinks you might want to travel around the world now, so you can live in the houses in any countries of
map.”
“As to the things in these cases, he thinks you need money in this place, gold will be international
currency. He gives them all to you.”
Susan sees the notebook in her hand and the cases near her, she can’t tell her feelings inside.
Alex means to let Randy tell her their relationship is over, but Susan misunderstands Alex. She thinks
Alex still in love with her.
Randy looks at this woman, thinking that nobody will refuse treasures. These treasures can raise a
whole family for a few generations.
Alex has always being generous to women, but it’s the first time that Randy see how big the fortune is.
She’s certainly the woman who made them searching for years.
“Did he send any message to me?” Suddenly Susan’s eyes get brightly with full expectation.
Randy feels awkward. Alex just ordered him to prepare these things, but he didn’t ask him to pass
message. But seeing her expecting look, he doesn’t have the heart to let her down, so he says, “Alex
might want to tell you in person, he didn’t ask me to pass on message to you.”
He maybe right. Why would a stranger send the huge dowries?
Susan is happy with what Randy says. She knows Alex won’t abandon her so cruelly.
She won’t leave without a goodbye this time, she will stay beside Alex for a very very long time.
Randy doesn’t know what he makes up will make Alex knock him off.
“Daddy, mommy, didn’t we let you to travel for a few more days? Why do you come back so early?”
The couple come back from outside while the three kids doesn’t know what to do at home.
Miya is confusing, but when she sees the odd looks of the three kids, she gives up questioning Alex.
Instead, she turns away her head and looks at the kids.
“What are you doing?”
“Nothing.” Joey doesn’t act like his two sophisticated elder brothers, she gets up immediately and hides
something behind.
Miya looks at Miya suspiciously, “Well then, that’s fine if you don’t say it.”
Joey sighs with relief, but Miya takes the thing behind Joey in a blink of eyes.
“Mommy, don’t!”
Joey wants to grab it, Ben and Andre also have a touch of tense on their face.
Miya reads the lines, she almost wants to tear down the book.
“Tell me! Is this your true words?” Miya shouts suddenly, the three kids are terrified.
Joey, Ben and Andre can’t say anything at this moment.
There is a touch of hurt in Miya’s eyes. She locks herself up in the room.
Alex takes the notebook with puzzle, his pulls a very long face when he reads the contents.
“My mommy looks not bad, but she’s very willful. She shouts at us when she’s free, she also shouts at
us when she’s busy. She sometimes thinks we’re naive, and sometimes we’re too sophisticated.”
“I feel distressed bout this kind of mommy. If I could, I wish to change a mommy. She doesn’t
necessary to be too gentle, but I wish she could understand us. She can’t be same as the current
mommy who always want to bully our daddy. ”
“My daddy is so handsome. He’s miserable that he spends the life with my mommy...”
Joey hasn’t finished the composition. Alex seems to understand why Miya is so sad. He is angry about
the composition, too.
“Joey, why did you write this composition?” Alex keeps his shirt on, trying not to shout at her.
“We just wanted to make a joke. Who knows mommy and you will come back suddenly!” Ben says
unhappily, “We didn’t try to make mommy angry. We just thought it was funny.”
Alex crouches down, he caresses Joey’s head, and glances at the two boys.
“Sometimes the jokes can’t be made as you wish. If you make the people who you care about sad, will
you be sad, too?”
The three kids lower their head in embarrassed silence.
“Sorry, daddy, we’re wrong.”
