After dinner, Nina helped Howard to clean up the table.
"Don't move, honey. I can do it myself." He would not let that happen.
Smilingly, she got on the sofa and turned on the TV with the remote control.
Staring at the screen, her thoughts flied to many years ago.
Many years ago, she had lived with a boy named Rain. He had written a love letter to her and asked her out for a meal. She had stood him up, but he hadn't got angry. "I know you like me, so I'm not angry," he said
If Rain hadn't gone abroad three years ago, was he staying with her now? Was he the one who had accompanied her?
He was just like a book, good-looking and elegant.
She had protected him so carefully, but in the end she still lost him.
Tears filled her eyes again. She took a deep breath and said, "Nina, you stupid woman. You've said that you would forget about Rain after you came back from the UK. Now that you have a beggar husband, you shouldn't think of her anymore."
No matter how beautiful the past was, it was now full of the love of a beggar husband!
It was enough for her to put aside all the good or bad feelings in the past.
Thinking of this, Nina waved her hair and felt happy.
At this time, his mobile phone rang from the balcony.
Nina got off the sofa and walked to the balcony. "Why did husband leave my phone on the balcony?"
The screen was flickering. It was a call from someone called Cliff.
"Honey, Cliff wants to see you." Nina answered the phone, "Hello, Cliff."
When Ethan heard it was Nina who was speaking, he was too scared to breathe.
He was so careless that his phone was in Nina's hand.
He wanted to hang up but was afraid that it might cause more misunderstanding, so he could only hold his breath and listen to what the other party said.
"Honey, it's so weird. Cliff called us. Why didn't he say anything? !" Nina murmured.
With a loud bang, the plate in his hand fell to the ground. Regardless of anything, Howard ran out of the kitchen.
He bumped into Nina who was walking towards him. "Ouch, honey, why are you in such a hurry?"
With her nose on Howard's chest, Nina was so sad that she almost cried.
"Honey, I'm sorry. Cliff has something to tell me." Howard grabbed the phone from Nina and walked away quickly.
He had never been so flurried like today. In the business world, he had the situation well prepared and he would win any war. He had never been so flustered like today.
He felt lucky that it wasn't his brother's name Ethan shown on the screen, but Cliff. He should be foresight.
But he still looked back carefully at Nina.
Nina had gone to the kitchen to clean up the broken dishes that Howard had accidentally smashed.
He quickly walked into the bedroom and gently closed the door. Then he lowered his voice and said, "dude, why do you call me at this time? You almost get me wrong!"
"Boss, you didn't tell me when to call. Where is Nina?"
"She went to the kitchen. What about the thing I asked you to investigate?"
"That guy Rain went to England three years ago. I don't know what happened later. He had no news and no information could be found."
"What? Is that true? " Touching his chin as usual.
"Yes, boss. If you don't trust me, you can ask your bodyguard to investigate it again. But the result will be the same as mine."
Hearing that, Howard's eyes darkened and he asked, "is he dead or alive?"
"He seems to be dead, but I'm not sure. The information from the outside is not accurate."
"Okay, that's it."
After Howard finished, he was lost in thought.
One year ago, when Nina appeared in the hospital of London, Britain, her eyes were red and swollen, and she had cried like this before.
She went to England to look for Rain.
He would feel uncomfortable as long as he thought of Rain. He lied on the bed hill in his robe, and lit a cigarette. In the dark, there were twinkling stars, shining on the handsome and cold face of Howard.
Nina walked in and turned on the light. "Darling, why don't you turn on the light?"
"It's good to enjoy the darkness once in a while." Howard said lazily.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Nina touched his frown and asked, "honey, who's the Cliff?"
Hearing what she said, Howard was speechless. Why did she still think about that!
"Who is it?" It seemed that she wouldn't give up until she got the answer. She lowered her head, staring at Howard with her reddened eyes.
Howard grabbed Nina's little hand and kissed on it. "You stupid girl. Cliff, of course, is my brother!"
"Honey, where are your brothers?"
"Just me and Cliff,"
"What does your brother do?"
"He is...... Construction workers. "
"How old is he?"
"He's twenty years old now." He mentioned a age casually, but in fact, Ethan was 23 years old.
"Does he have a girlfriend?"
Nina insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter.
