In fact, Guillermo had once suspected this when he inadvertently noticed some thoughts. He remembered very clearly what had happened that day. It was not that he had never thought or asked them to be young and passionate at that time. On the one hand, he wanted to be responsible for what they had done. On the other hand, he had always rejected her. He could feel her lingering fear. In comparison, this kind of thing was more disadvantageous to women! Besides, although their relationship was good at that time, it was not the best time for them to fight.
But on that birthday, the two seemed to have a spiritual connection. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. She didn't hesitate to go to Korea to celebrate his birthday, and he also prepared to propose to her at the same time. At that moment, it was probably second only to the peak of the love affair between the two of them. The two of them had planned together. Therefore, he could clearly feel her attitude of no refusal!
However, during that period of time, he suddenly broke out with a fever as if he had caught a cold. Then, he aged dozens of years at a speed visible to the naked eye overnight. So, in fact, he broke the appointment on his birthday!
On that day, he was seriously ill. When he woke up, he had suffered a huge blow. He was so devastated that he wanted to die. How could he think of the date with her? When he came back to his senses, it was already a few days later. The first news he saw was that she had something to do back home. At that time, he was really relieved. He didn't know how to face her, and he didn't even have the courage to greet her. Of course, before he met her again, he didn't expect this. Later, he vaguely felt that there was something wrong. No matter his identity or situation, it was no longer suitable for him to say it.
In fact, after that separation, they had never seen each other again. When they were in contact again, it was about time for them to break up. At that time, it had been some time. Not only did the two of them not get together often, but even their relationship was also greatly reduced. She was mentally and physically exhausted because of the misfortune of her mother's sickness. He was also forced to despair by his own illness. Originally, the two of them should be the happiest couple, but they had become a living zombie couple. Their fate, at the most brilliant moment, had also given the two of them the most fatal blow. It was really like a short-lived flower. No matter how beautiful they were, they could not stay.
Many years later, she had never expected that everything would be the same as it was at the beginning. But she never dreamed that fate would play tricks on people like this. The person who once had a night of passion with Carolien was actually Elijah?
An illusion of being forcibly seized by someone inexplicably came to his mind. No matter how good his mentality was, Guillermo couldn't help but be blocked. He couldn't cry even if he wanted to.
Was this the so-called fate?
But in addition to these two words, he really couldn't find a suitable word to comfort himself and explain this matter!
Was he wrong? Had she done something wrong? Or had he done something wrong?
Obviously, the three of them were not qualified to be called chess pieces. They all had their own difficulties. The three of them were like chess pieces on a chess board, being played by an invisible hand until today.
Suddenly, Guillermo had a very deep intuition that Carolien would not belong to him. Perhaps from the beginning, this woman was destined not to belong to him. The purpose of his existence was just to protect her.
Therefore, even if he could have another chance now, God had arranged another man to destroy it. In the past, it was either because of illness or bitterness, but now, it was because of one person!
Guillermo was silent. He didn't know what to say, but he seemed to have seen the real ending.
At this time, Carolien, who was in the middle, was obviously more shocked and unaccepting than him. She kept looking back and forth between them. Finally, she shook her head and grabbed her hair.
"No? How is this possible? Back then..."
How could the man from back then be Elijah?
Wasn't that to say that the person she gave her first time to had been wrong all the time? Was it a coincidence? Or was it a deliberate conspiracy? So from the beginning to the end, she had only ever been with one man?
No, no, how could it be?
It was like a dream. Carolien couldn't believe it at all.
She didn't remember very clearly about what had happened that day, mainly because she and the others had been a little tired for a long time that day. In addition, she was a little afraid of the first time she did that kind of thing. She was afraid that others would dislike her and pay extra attention to her figure and didn't even dare to eat dinner. In the end, she even had the courage to drink some wine. However, although it was true that she was nervous, she knew what had happened. Moreover, she remembered that she should have called his name and he had also promised her. How could it be Elijah?
Carolien couldn't remember whether she had seen his face or not. Every time she thought of it, she would automatically think of Guillermo. It had been deeply engraved in her mind. Now if she was asked to overthrow it, she didn't know how to push it away. Therefore, she could only keep looking for an answer between the two of them.
If it was Elijah, why didn't he know? He had questioned her more than once before!
But now, how did he know?
Return to the original owner?
Obviously, he knew that this thing was in her hands!
When did that happen?
A heavy fog filled Carolien's mind. She could not keep up with her thoughts.
Could it be that he had an ulterior motive to take advantage of the situation? She had rejected Guillermo not because of him, but because—
It had something to do with him!
With a faint smile, Elijah withdrew his hand. "It's not three. It's a pair! Of course, the other one is in my hands. If you want to see it, you can come with me now!"
He had already verified it, but she was still trying to trick him?
The little demon was not easy to fool!
In an instant, Carolien's face turned pale. She suddenly thought of something and stumbled unconsciously.
"Is it really you? You've known it for a long time, haven't you? You've also known it for a long time that what happened that year wasn't Guillermo. You knew it was... you who told me that I took away your important thing—that's it?"
No wonder he had never asked about it before. No wonder he had never said it before. That was because she had been keeping this ring for many years and had never taken it out. Recently, she always wore it because of Guillermo, who suddenly appeared. She thought of this item again. She also thought that if she saw Guillermo again, she would return the last thing to him and completely get everything out between them.
If she did not take it out, he would not be able to see it or recognize it, so he might not have known about all this before!
No wonder, no wonder his attitude suddenly changed so much. No wonder he had not stepped in Misty's for more than a year, but he had been pestering her all of a sudden. In the corridor, he was eager to see the scene behind her, and the scene behind her suddenly came to his mind. Carolien's expression changed a few times in an instant!
"You kept pestering me for this thing?"
What was the importance of this thing? Was it so important that he even broke his promise and oath? So, his manpower and financial resources were completely overturned, and all his kindness to her was fake? Was it all for a purpose?
Was it all for this one thing in her hand?
