......
In fact, Madam Stewart knew that she was different when Elijah took her home and even asked her to go to his study room to get things today. So at this moment, she was really happy and emotional.
"I didn't expect that he would even tell you about Miss Stone..."
This was a taboo topic in the Luther family.
It was fine for those who didn't know, but those who knew did not dare to mention anything. But at this moment, Madam Stewart really didn't think too much about it. She was very happy that Elijah finally opened up. So when Carolien pleaded with her, she told her everything she knew.
"Ah, how should I put it? It happened a long time ago. I know the general situation. Miss Stone was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. At that time, the Luther family was in a period of turmoil. Mr. Elijah would represent Mrs. Luther to attend events. That was how they met. I don't know what happened but he took a fancy to her. Originally, it was okay for the two of them to fall in love with each other, but the woman had poor health. She was weak and frail and often burdened Mr. Elijah. I really hated it in my heart. Alas, fate was not on their side. When they were together, she was diagnosed with cancer. I don't know exactly what type it is but she died in less than three months. Now that I think about it, she is also a poor woman! After that, Mr. Elijah was depressed for a long time. For so many years, he didn't even have a woman with him. Although Mrs. Luther was open-minded, she was actually anxious in her heart. Otherwise, how could she get sick? She was anxious and worried! For so many years, you are the only woman that he has ever brought home. We were so happy with that! Anyway, this was all in the past. No one has mentioned it for many years. Miss Jones, you don't have to take it to heart. He has no other woman around him!"
It turned out that Gracie was no longer there.
Suddenly, Carolien didn't know what to feel. She had become a dead person's substitute?
Therefore, the person that Elijah loved was no longer in this world. His heart was long gone. Carolien was so smart that she could guess what Elijah was thinking and why did he call her Gracie at that time!
With a smile, Carolien linked arms with Madam Stewart and walked away. She said,
"Well, I know! Sometimes, I still mind. I know that he always has her in his heart. Otherwise, why does he have to take leave on the 14th of April every year and not even answer my phone?"
Madam Stewart didn't notice that Carolien was trying to set her up. She also sighed heavily and said,
"Ah, that date was Miss Stone's birthday! When she was alive, he did not have time to accompany her. Now that she was gone, Mr. Elijah chose to honor the date. I don't know what magic she wields over him, but he still can't forget her for so many years... Fortunately, God is kind and brought you here! Miss Jones, don't take it to heart. In fact, it's not a big deal. People will always reminisce about what they could not get! In fact, he will return to his senses sooner or later! Just like now, isn't it?"
The implication was that Elijah finally had another woman —Carolien!
Madam Stewart beamed with joy. The joy was real, but Carolien was full of bitterness and didn't know what to say.
She didn't even know how she left the house in the end.
......
When there was a direction, things became easy to find. Soon, Carolien found the cemetery where Gracie lay. In rows of tombstones, she found Gracie's tombstone. She held a bouquet of flowers in her hand and was stunned on the spot.
At first, she wanted to see who this woman was and how beautiful she was, but she didn't expect to see a familiar face. Almost instantly, Carolien understood who Elijah meant by "a suitable person" that time.
After returning home in a sullen mood, Carolien couldn't help but pat herself on her head a few times. Curiosity killed the cat indeed!
Now that she knew everything, was she happy?"
That night, while she was in bed, she could not sleep. In fact, all she wanted to do was to pick a fight with him and ask him why he could do such a disgusting thing. However, he was not here right then.
She sat up. Carolien ruffled her messy hair and took a long breath. She was annoyed!
No!
If it went on like this, she would go crazy!
Originally, she had wanted to call Elijah. However, when she found his number, she realized that a phone call was not enough so she hung up. Feeling bored, she casually flipped through it.
She randomly clicked on an app and swiped. Suddenly, a familiar face entered her field of view. "Hot Song From New Girl Group, Airs!"
Glancing at the four beautiful women with different postures, Carolien blinked and looked at the one on the right. Wasn't this... Kim Mi-chi?
After looking at it several times, she finally confirmed that: How could she forget that she was in Korea!
