Rose told Bright about Patriarch Way's preference. Although it was not difficult for Bright to know about it, they only had a week and might be unable to prepare the gift in time.
After she ended the call with Nora, Rose's emotions were affected. Bright also noticed it.
"What's wrong? You put on a long face. Did something happen between you and Nora?" Bright was attentive.
"Is it that obvious?" Rose instinctively reached out and touched her face.
"Tell me about it." Bright took her gently into his arms. They leaned against the bed.
Rose rested her head on his shoulder. They were covered in the same quilt. Rose felt safe and happy in his arms.
"When I was a sophomore in high school, my parents hired a new private piano teacher for me. His name was Oscar. He was young, gentle and modest, well-spoken, and perfect.
One day, Nora came to see me and met Oscar. She fell in love with him at first sight. You know, Nora was always outgoing and bold. She took the initiative to pursue Oscar.
Oscar, however, decisively rejected her. Nora was sad. Although she felt hurt, she did not give up and persisted for two years. At that time, Nora was nineteen years old.
One day, Oscar was knocked unconscious by someone in retaliation and taken away. Nora happened to see it and followed them all the way regardless of the danger. However, she was already found by these people and was also kidnapped by them.
When Oscar woke up, he saw that Nora was tied up there. He calmly said to the man who kidnapped him that he could do anything as long as they let Nora go. But Nora was adamant that she would not leave.
The man said that Oscar had cuckolded him and that he would not let anyone go. But the fact was that his wife carried a torch for Oscar and even seduced him. Oscar was not moved by her at all. But he was misunderstood.
The man let go of Oscar to have a fight with him. He said that as long as Oscar hit back, he would hit Nora. So, for Nora, Oscar naturally did not fight back. Nora cried, desperately begging the man not to hit Oscar.
Oscar was beaten down. But the man still did not let him go. Nora tried her best to break away from the people guarding her and ran forward to protect Oscar, blocking the hit from the man with her body for Oscar.
Nora stared at the man with a murderous look. At that time, she looked awesome.
The man was shocked by her eyes. Anyway, he had vented his anger and did not want to kill people. So, he let them go.
Nora then informed me. They were taken to the hospital. As Oscar was injured badly and almost died, Nora looked after him for three days. Fortunately, Oscar woke up.
After this incident, they naturally got together.
But the Cooper family was wealthy and Nora was the only daughter of it. So, they naturally loved her very much. Oscar was just an ordinary people. There was a big gap in their identities. Nora could not control her marriage. So, when their love was found by Nora's parents, they had a hard time... But they had pulled through.
Until... that fire. Oscar was trapped in it and burned to ashes. Then, they were finally separated. Nora and I watched the fire burning and even reddening the sky. It was a bad day. The wind fueled the fire. Nora collapsed and fainted.
She could not accept such a reality. She tried to commit suicide, but was saved. After a long period of isolation, she finally accepted the cruel reality. Then, she was forced to marry a man for her family.
When this news came out, there were many famous men who wanted to marry her. She finally chose Alan, who was also young and fun-loving. They hit it off. They agreed to be a couple in public, but did not interfere with each other in private, and lived peacefully for five years.
Nora hadn't changed in the past five years. She will still dream about Oscar. Last time we went back to the restaurant by the school together, she mistook someone else for Oscar."
Rose came back to reality from her memory and looked up to meet Bright's eyes. Her eyes were already red.
"Do you know? I am afraid she'd stay like this. I want her to be happy. But she said the one who could give her happiness was dead and she could never be happy again.
Back then, I had thought I would live out my life alone with Doris. But Gods favored me and let you appear in my life... Now that I am happy, I want Nora to find her own happiness as I did."
