"Now, the tree is fifty years old."
When Martha heard this, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she unconsciously walked closer to the big tree.
She stretched out her hand to stroke the big tree, feeling mixed feelings.
This was the tree that her mother and Sam planted, but now, everything had changed.
She touched down and found different lines on the big tree, and took a closer look curiously.
She saw a line engraved crookedly on the big tree - we will be safe and happy forever.
When Martha saw this, the corners of her mouth unconsciously muttered this sentence
Hearing this in a daze, Sam looked at the big tree with eyes that gradually lost focus, as if he was caught in a good memory, and whispered the story between him and Elsie.
"When I was very young, I was brought back here by the owner of the Lucas family. I grew up with Elsie, and I can be regarded as her childhood playmate."
"At that time, because I was adopted by the Lucas family, most people in the Lucas family looked down on me, and even the servants bullied me."
When the man said this, there was a bit of sadness in his eyes.
In the end, Martha couldn't help asking, "What happened next?"
In fact, Martha could vaguely guess their later story, but she still couldn't help asking.
The corners of Sam's mouth raised slightly, and his slightly frowning brows slowly relaxed.
"In the whole family, only Elsie doesn't care about my identity and befriends me."
"Later, the longer I spent with Elsie, the more I found how good she was. She is kind, gentle, smart, and can handle things calmly."
"Slowly, I found that I fell in love with Elsie without knowing it. However, I am not worthy of Elsie at all, so I just want to protect her silently and hope that she can be safe and happy. "
When Sam said this, his thin lips pursed slightly.
In fact, he had tried, but Elsie felt nothing for him.
Martha frowned slightly when she heard these words, and looked at Sam standing not far away with some doubts.
"Since you like my mother so much, haven't you thought about confessing to her?"
"Of course I have."
Sam smiled, and then continued, "I wanted to confess my love to him, but she just treated me like an older brother."
