Chapter 47 Rainy Day


    When she got back to Fred''s side, Bess said to him, "Jack said he would take me to buy clothes. Fred,


    I''ll let you go today, but you''d better save money and buy meals for meter." she then whispered,


    "Jack''s rich enough and it''s a good chance for me to take the advantage."


    With these words, Bess looked at Fred who didn''t say a word, and took it as acquiescence, then she


    turned around and got in the car of Jack.


    "Hey, Fred, don''t wait for me to have dinner." Said Bess loudly as she buckled up the seat belt.


    When Fred saw Bess''s ex-boyfriend driving away, he opened the door of the bar silently, sat on the


    sofa near the familiar window, and lit a cigarette.

    Maybe the first thing he cares about is fear of losing.


    "I didn''t ask you clearly yesterday and left, why did you work here?" Jack drove the car and looked at


    Bess who sat on the passenger seat.


    "Jack, how strange you are! You didn''t answer my question when I went to your clinic before, but now I


    can make a living by myself, and you are caring about me more than ever. Aren''t you afraid that I will


    pester you?" Said Bess with a smile, in a joking tone. In fact, Bess was very happy.


    "Yes! I just want to make fun of you, okay? But you''re still a little girl, I just scolded you for a few words,


    but you just can''t stand it anymore. I''ve never seen you so sentimental before, by the way, whose


    clothes are you wearing? " Jack cast a nce at the loose clothes on Bess and pretended to ask


    casually.


    "The clothes?" Bess looked down at her white T-shirt and said, "Oh, I just borrowed the clothes of my


    boss yesterday, I told you that I didn''t take any new clothes with me when I ran away from home. My


    boss just wanted to take me out to buy new clothes, and then I met you."


    "The time is right for me," Jack paused. "Do you want to move to my house? You don''t know the boss


    before, it''s not good for your reputation to live here with him alone."


    "Are you worried about me?" Getting close to Jack, Bess met his eyes which was avoiding hers, and


    she said, "You have driven me out of your housest time, so I am embarrassed to go there again.


    Otherwise, I can''t be put thebel of a useless person by you. Besides, my boss is good to me."


    Bess said thest sentence, staring outside in a daze, as if absorbed in thought. Fred treated her well,


    which was the same as how Fred treated his daughter? Uncle to Niece? Or an elder to a junior?


    "Bess, what do you went abroad to do for these six years? The reason why I said those words to you is


    that I want you to understand that it took you six years to realize your dream that you even abandoned


    me." I don''t know what you have achieved on your way of pursuing your career, but I know clearly that


    you''re definitely not as cowardly as I see it, "Said Jack with much concern, he hadn''t seen her for six


    years, but he really didn''t want her to be blown away by the dust in the past again, which made both of


    them choke on it.


    When they separated before, Bess only left a message, even without any reason. It was Jack who was


    not reconciled to ask all the information about Bess from every ce. She was sent by her family to


    study abroad. Bess had secretly transferred to a Music Faculty abroad. Her father raged and


    demanded her to go back home. But Bess continued finishing her courses. Then she was finally


    coming back.


    Jack spared no efforts to ask about every piece of news about Bess. He had been hopeful and then


    desperate during the past six years. During these years, Jack had changed a lot, and he wasn''t the


    man he used to be.


    A few days ago, Bess suddenly appeared in front of him, acting like a spoiled child, which was no


    different from what it was six years ago. Jack felt that his unwillingness and resentment over the past


    six years suddenly relieved. What else was more important than hering back to him. Jack thought,


    ''If there were other cases, it would be that I''m already at the age which featured with afraid of losing.''


    However, Bess was still like a free bird, she would never inhabit, even if she returned to her side, she


    might fly away at any time. Jack couldn''t wait any longer.


    Bess leaned against the car window and listened to Jack attentively. Nobody knew what she had


    experienced and what she had pursued her dream in the past six years. It was as if the thing she


    cherished the most was only a childish thing in the eyes of those who loved her. Including Jack.


    Nobody had ever asked whether she was happy or not, and only if she was tired or why she felt like


    that.


    Bess put her hand on the car window and drew a circle with her finger, and the raindrops were hitting


    the car window with a crackling sound, which pulled Bess back to reality. It was raining!


    It was already midday when Cary woke up from Jack''s home. Rubbing his aching head, he stood up


    with difficulty and poured a ss of water in the kitchen. The wine he drank yesterday was really too


    strong, which was good for Cary, after all. At least, he didn''t see any trace of Yvonne this night.


    The phone vibrated on the table and Cary picked it up.


    "Is there anything in thepany?" Of course, Cary thought it was thepany''s secretary.


    "Hello, Cary, it''s me, Rae." The woman''s sweet voice came from the other end of the phone, and Cary


    slightly frowned.


    "It''s you? What do you want from me? Just tell me! " He didn''t expect that Rae could even find his


    private number, it was really hard work for her.


    "It''s for Be, I heard that you picked her up from school the other day. Is that true?" Rae pretended to


    be sad, "She''s very happy now, can youe and visit her more often?"


    Cary rubbed his forehead, looked upset and said, "I''ll go there if I have time, I hope other people won''t


    know about it." Cary didn''t have the heart say no to Rae''s request, whether it was because of Rae just


    wanted to get close to him, he didn''t want to care about it at all. After all, he hadn''t seen his child for


    five years, and it must break her heart.


    After he hung up the phone, Cary looked out of the window and noticed that it was raining heavily


    outside, he wondered what Yvonne was doing now. Cary couldn''t help but think of that woman again.


    "You picked the right time, why did youe here today? You''ve been away from home for a couple of


    days. It''s the first time you''ve torn your clothes like this, right?" The rain was so heavy that Jack parked


    the car in the underground parking lot of the shopping mall and grumbled from time to time.


    "You haven''t seen me for six years, how do you know it''s the first time for me to wear dirty clothes?


    When I was in the United States, I had worn a shirt for a month." Bess didn''t understand Jack''s fuss


    and said it easily.
