A—round nine o'clock, Lily took a bath. The children all went to the villas on the mountainside to play, so the large seaside villa became abnormally quiet.
Lily had bought a plane at 11p.m. It would only take 40 minutes to get to the airport from here to the airport, so Lily had enough time. Suddenly, she didn't know what to do.
In the past, with a child by her side, she felt time fly by very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already 11 or 12p.m., but now, why did it seem like time had stopped.
Lily had the Old Garry bring her a cup of red wine. Holding onto the wine cup, she leaned on the balcony's railing, looked at the distant waves and felt an indescribable loneliness.
How strang. Could it be that as one gets older, one really feels lonely?
Or was it because the children had all grown up so that they could play by themselves and did not need her all day long to accompany them?
No matter what, Lily did not like this quiet night where she could hear her own heartbeat.
She raised her head and drank all the wine in one breath. After that, she placed the cup on the stone table beside her, turned around, and walked towards her room.
Not long after, she left her room with a trunk.
She would rather wait at the airport than stay in this empty house.
Old Garry had promised to send her to the airport, so Lily didn't need to worry about not having a means of transportation.
Just that, when Lily got off the building and walked towards Old Garry's car, she saw that the car had started. The lights shone on the garden and lit up the entire place.
Lily walked over and knocked on the window.
The trunk of the car opened, and with some difficulty, she put the her trunk inside. Soon after, she opened the door and sat inside.
She was in the back seat.
"Old Garry, you can start the car. Sorry for troubling you!" Lily said softly, her tone becoming much more polite.
The person in the driver's seat didn't respond. He just turned the car around and drove away.
The light in the car was dim, and the light outside the window was getting farther and farther away, Lily could not help but turn her head to look, and when she looked, her eyes became wet.
Even though she had said goodbye to the children, why was her heart still clogged up?
Because she didn't seem to say goodbye to Edwards Wayne, as if ... It was like a kind of lament.
"Isn't your plane at 11: 20? Why do you go to the airport so early? " When the car drove out of Wayne Family's villa, Edwards Wayne's low voice came out from the driver's seat.
Lily, who had originally been depressed in her heart, was stunned when she heard this familiar male voice.
Then she felt the man pull the wheel to the side of the road and stop the car.
"Sit in front!" The man seemed to know that Lily was shocked, and didn't wait for her to respond, and only gently reminded her.
Only then did Lily lean towards the driver’s seat. Unexpectedly, it was not Old Garry, but Edwards Wayne.
How could it be him?
Lily had always thought that it was Old Garry driving.
