Chapter 361
“She always wears a ponytail, follows me around and will share with me what she likes. When I do my homework, she will always be by my side. We were like a match made in heaven. I had deep feelings for her.”
Gale said, “Your childhood sweetheart.”
Just like she and Sam.
“Yes. However, she disappeared on her fourth birthday, and I haven’t found her so far. But I haven’t given up on looking for her,” Aurum said with a nod.
“Mr. Lefting, you mean that I remind you of her?”
“No, you are not like her. She is chubby, and you are too thin. But… your temperament is very similar to her mother when she was young,” Aurum replied.
Only then did Gale suddenly realize.
She reminded Aurum of a girl he used to love. Unfortunately, the little girl has never been heard from again, and her whereabouts are unknown. She was
Aurum’s ‘what if‘.
So, after many years, Aurum would think of that little girl
when he saw her.
“It turns out that you always wanted to give me what you
couldn’t give to that little girl. Speaking of which, I am
clearly in her favor,” Gale said.
“It’s not just that. After getting to know you, I found that you are a very good girl. You should have a better and freer life instead of being bound by Shawn and breaking
your wings.”
Gale smiled bitterly.
Even Aurum knew the truth, but Shawn would never
understand it.
To truly love someone was to let go, be free, be fulfilled,
and not be caged.
Aurum said again, “I don’t know how she is doing now. I hope she can be happy… The possibility is very small. I can’t do anything for her, so I will just treat you well…
this helps me be more at ease.
The little girl disappeared at the age of four, and just thinking about how miserable the future will be made her
heart tremble with fear.
How sad and distressed her relatives should be.

Gale had no idea how to comfort others, so she could only say, “God will bless her.”
