No matter what Nora did, she had to follow her true thoughts.
No matter how time changed, what she had and experienced were real. They could be hidden, but it didn't mean that they could forget it.
The longer it took, the deeper it felt to be turned over again.
After getting along with each other day and night for so long, every time Nora faced Murphy, her heart was always full of struggle. She wanted to leave, but it was not easy to find a good job in Beijing.
If she was alone, when she knew that her boss was Murphy, she would leave resolutely and continue to find another job.
But with little Hugh, she couldn't afford to waste time. She needed a stable job.
She had buried her feelings three years ago deep in her heart and didn't want to touch them, because that was the pain of her whole life.
For many sleepless nights, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. The wound that had been dug out was still dripping blood. With tears in her eyes, she licked the wound that could not be healed at all. She woke up crying and then fell asleep again.
No one knew how much she loved Murphy. The stronger she pretended to be, the more fragile she was in her heart.
No one knew how sad she was when she faced him countless times every day.
Originally, she wanted to go on like this and the two of them would be fine. She would treat the past as a treasure and never mention it.
However, the more he didn't want it to happen, the earlier it would come. After such a long time of contact, he actually had a crush on her.
She was in a dilemma. She had too many things to worry about. It was really difficult for her to make a choice.
In the company, he took good care of her, no matter at work or life, He feared that she would feel wronged so that he always considered for her.
Seeing this, Nora thought in her heart that all the efforts of Murphy were enough to prove that his love for her was not illusory.
Once, Nora went to pick up little Hugh after work and waited for the bus at the intersection. When Murphy passed by, he asked her to get in the car and the two went to pick up little Hugh together.
Nobody knew that he had been here with Nora after work.
When they arrived at the school, the children were already in a line, waiting for their parents, and some of them had been picked up by their parents.
He saw little Hugh from a distance. He put his feet on the ground and shook his little head. He looked around, looking for his mother.
When he saw his mother, he was so happy, like a happy little elf.
The teacher took little Hugh's hand, walked to Nora and said, "He has been very obedient these days. He is also very active in class."
Then she said to little Hugh, "Go ahead! Go to find your mother. Let's go home together. Remember to practice writing at home!"
Looking at Nora and listening to the teacher's words, Murphy smiled so sweetly and happily, as if little Hugh was really his son.
At that time, her heart ached inexplicably.
When could she get over the pain?
Nora thanked the teacher and took little Hugh to get on the car of Murphy.
The car was speeding on the road, with lyric music in it. Little Hugh stayed quietly in his mother's arms, like a happy family of three, how harmonious and warm.
After a while, they arrived at the gate of the community. The car stopped. At first, he intended to go up and have a seat. He looked at little Hugh, but didn't say anything.
