I took out his wallet and quickly rummaged through the ID he had put in it. But when I opened his wallet, I saw a strange photo.
It was a girl, taken with a mobile phone. The background was dark at night, so the photo was not very clear. But judging by her face, I knew it was me!
I didn't know when he took this photo, but definitely not recent, because my hair on it was still very long, at least longer than it was now. Also, the background was definitely not the present.
"When did you take it?" I stared at the carefully edited inch-long image and hesitated. Then I looked up at Vincent, stunned.
He probably felt a little uncomfortable as the little secret he had been hiding was discovered by others. After a pause, he replied somewhat awkwardly, "The first time I met you, I took it in secret!"
I sat up straight and looked at Vincent's extremely unnatural expression. There was a mixed feeling in my heart. "You fell in love with me the first time you saw me?"
"Yes, it is very strange, isn't it? I, Vincent, have never fallen in love with a girl ever since I was born, and you're the first one. The moment Christopher introduced you to me, I fell for you. But at that time you has married him. I..."
When Vincent spoke up to this point, he became a bit shy. After being silent for a moment, he sighed: "You are such a good girl. Why didn't Christopher appreciate you? I always thought that we could only be a passenger in each other's life, but who knows God finally brought you to me!"
With that, he suddenly reached out and wanted to hug me. But then he hesitated, looked at me and asked cautiously, "I want to hug you, is that okay?"
I was moved by his words. For some reason, I nodded in agreement. Seeing that, Vincent hugged me as if he had got a treasure. "Jasmine, I feel so happy!"
I lay in Vincent's gentle and firm embrace, listening to his heavy and rhythmic heartbeat. To be honest, at that moment I also felt the so-called happiness.
It was a kind of happiness that even Christopher couldn't give me, which was brought to me by Vincent!
Just as Vincent and I were hugging each other tightly, the room door suddenly opened, and we immediately kept distance from each other.
I thought it was the restaurant bringing the dishes again, but it turned out to be Duke Murphy.
Probably still having seeing us hugging each other, he deliberately teased, "Mr. Johnson and Jasmine's relationship is truly enviable. How can you be so attached even at meal?"
