Eric looked at Melissa through the flames, his eyes sparking like sparks, but he was so focused that nothing could stop him.
"You left just to prepare this for me?" Melissa asked obsessed at last. She looked at his expression and his eyes in slience.
Eric nodded, "Yes, I just want to make you happy. You have been having a hard time these days. With so many doubts in your mind, I just want to make you relaxed. No matter how difficult the situation is, I will stand behind you and protect you."
She couldn't help but burst into tears, which kept streaming down her face.
Eric panicked all of a sudden. He grabbed her shoulder and asked, "What's the matter?"
Melissa shook her head and said bitterly, "I just thought of my childhood..."
Seeing her crying, Eric was at a loss and asked, "Why do you cry when you thought about your childhood? Did I remind you something that make you sad? Sorry, i I didn't know that... "
"Nope!" Melissa shook her head again. ·"You did a good job. That's why I'm so happy. When I was a child, my parents, grandpa and grandma also set fireworks for me by the sea. But later, my grandpa was accidentally burnt to death by the fire. Since then, we haven't set the fireworks again... But I can't forget the happiness of my family, especially when I think of the death of grandpa... "
"It seems that I have caused your sadness!" Eric sighed and said apologetically.
Melissa shook her head again. "No, you ·are not. Actually, my feelings for the fire are complicated, not just sadness, because I had been happy in this kind of fire, and at the same time... There is another thing that makes me feel complicated... "
And there she stopped, lowering her head. The fire was not only the happiness she felt when she was a child, but also the feeling when her grandfather was burnt to death by the fire… She remembered the feeling that when she know how Colin missed Avril.
She was sad, missed grandpa and hated Colin's neglect and Colin's harm to her.
Eric asked her what else things could make her cry several times, but she didn't answer him. At this time, how could she tell him about her feelings for Colin? Seeing that she really didn't want to answer his question, Eric gave up the idea. He held her in his arms and said, "Since you are just moved, then don't cry. I'm trying to make you happy, not to make you cry!"
Melissa hugged Eric back and said, "Thank you… Thank you. You are a good man. I will cherish you in the future! " She would never make the same mistake again. She never had a happy time when she was with Colin. But after she had only been with Eric for one day, she had already been moved by him, who made her felt the happiest? It was obvious.
Hearing her words, Eric just laughed with her in his arms. He was satisfied. He believed that she would fall in love with him sooner or later, as long as she was moved.
They hugged each other by the sea for a while until they thought it was time to go back. It was already 21 o'clock at that time, and the food stall was overcrowded. But they got their seats as Melissa booked a private room. After they had dinner in the room, they left secretly. Maybe it was because the food stall was low-grade that no one recognized Eric. He hid himself from the crowd with a hat and sunglasses. The waitresses probably didn't think a big star like Eric would come to such a place. And there were a lot of people, so they didn't have time to carefully observe the appearance of the guests.
