Keep you in my arms novel Chapter 173

This day, she turned off her phone. She sat in the bookstore and ordered a cup of coffee, but she didn't drank at all. She occasionally stared at the novel on the glass table, and occasionally looked at the person who is reading.

In a trance, she recalled all the dreams she had since she could remember.

When she just went to school, she liked her teacher very much and wanted to be a teacher when she grew up.

In grade three of primary school, her parents were doing business in S City, so she followed them to the S City. She saw people who were doing business with her parents and heard from them that this uncle was rich by relying on his own efforts. At that time, her parents often worried about too much expense. At that time, her dream was to earn a lot of money!

When she was in high school, she liked Chinese and history, and preferred the Wei, Jin, South and North Dynasty, an era when thinking can be freely expressed. She decided to take the postgraduate entrance exam, but she was also in love. She felt that he would be the only one in her life, and that she would not be separated from her beloved man. It was enough for her to live a good life with Harriet!

Harriet's betrayal made her less believe in love. She thought that it didn't matter who she was with, but what kind of life she lived. She had been with Greg, but she was not as anxious as her first love. She had her own faith, and she had never thought about the future with Greg. Until the reality told her that the so-called love was to sacrifice her faith, and she left him without hesitation.

Until she met Edward, everything seemed to be out of control. They met for no reason. He chased her for no reason. In the end, she didn't know why she fell in love with him. When Greg asked her to give up the postgraduate entrance exam, she refused so decisively. But she hesitated in front of Edward.

Was she really like him and willing to sacrifice herself or to pay off her debt? If she really loved him, why didn't she feel frustrated when she saw the book on the table? Was it too much for her to have a second thought?

Dream? Did she really need it?

For the rest of her life, she would have a few children with Edward, raise them up, watch them repeat the path she had followed, marry and have children...

"Hello, we are off duty now." The shop assistant reminded her.

"Okay!" In a trance, she picked up the book on the table and was about to leave.

"Miss, here is your bag!" The waiter followed her out of the shop and gave her her her bag.

"Thank you." She took her bag and looked at the book in her hand.

"You're welcome." The shop assistant went back to clean up.

As soon as she turned around and took a step forward, she saw Edward standing in front of her. He stood in front of the glass window of the bookstore and stared at her expressionlessly with his hands in his trouser pockets.

Didn't he go on a business trip? Why is he here?

She was stunned, and then forced a faint smile. "Why are you here?"

He also smiled gently, but his eyes were less soft than usual. "Are you hungry? Would you like to have dinner with me?"

"Yes! Yes, a little." She nodded. Thinking that she hadn't eaten anything for the whole day, she was so hungry that she trembled without noticing.

Her belly rang at the right time. He held her wrist and asked, "don't you have hypoglycemia? Why don't you eat?"

"Maybe... Maybe it was because she has been a lit recently and her stomach was a little swollen that she didn't realize she was hungry. I was absorbed in reading in the afternoon. I didn't know it was so late." At the mention of this, she suddenly remembered something. She nervously took out her phone and said, "Damn! I forgot to tell mom that I won't go back for dinner tonight!"

"It doesn't matter! I told her. Do you need me take your bag?"

"It's not heavy. I'll take it. Thank you." He was so handsome that holding a woman's bag was too bad for his image. But...

When did he come here? And how did he find her? And when did he tell mom that she didn't want to go back for dinner? She looked at his side face suspiciously, "aren't you on a business trip? Why are you here?"
