"Stephen? Is it you?" Stephen was shopping in the supermarket. Recently, his daughter had returned to the villa. He was alone, but now since he had no business affairs to deal with., he lived a relaxing and regular life.
Stephen heard someone calling him, so he turned around and saw a beautiful lady looking at him.
Stephen looked at the lady and was surprised. He was so excited that the bag in his hands fell to the ground.
"Eliana?" Stephen called out softly, but he couldn't move a step, as if he were frozen.
Eliana walked over and held Stephen's hands. Looking at him carefully, Eliana began to wail.
She came back to look for him and their daughter. She had found he was abroad for treating heart disease.
"Don't cry. A crying woman is not pretty. My Eliana is the most beautiful woman in the world. Don't cry." Stephen wanted to wipe Eliana's tears, but he raised his hand and put it down again. He couldn't do that anymore.
So Stephen took out a tissue from his bag and handed it to Eliana.
"You are still a smooth talker, Stephen." Eliana took the tissue and wiped her tears. She felt that she owed Stephen a lot.
"How long have you been back? Have you seen our daughter?" Stephen asked Eliana.
"Almost half a year. I've seen Amy. You've taught her well. I'm very grateful to you. Stephen, let's go and have some tea, shall me?" Eliana had calmed down.
Just as she was in the car, she saw Stephen by accident. She hurriedly stopped the driver and followed Stephen to the supermarket. The supermarket was so big that she walked around back and forth before finding Stephen at the place where vegetables were offered.
"Sounds good." Stephen knew this day would come.
"Stephen, I remember that Rode tea is your favorite tea, right?" Eliana ordered Rode tea for Stephen.
"It's kind of you to remember my preference. Thank you, Eliana." Stephen picked up the teacup, but he couldn't enjoy the tea.
The atmosphere was stale. Eliana did not know where to start. The person she owed the most in her life was Stephen.
Stephen didn't know what to say, either. He was honest, and even was a little stupid.
"Stephen."
"Eliana." After thinking for a long time, the two of them called out each other's names at the same time.
"You first." The two of them said at the same time, again.
"Okay. I'll start." Stephen felt that since he was a man, he definitely had to break the ice.
"Amy is a good girl. She has never complained during the years you've been absent. She may be too young to remember you." Stephen reported to Eliana about Amy's past life.
Stephen was telling everything about Amy in detail, from kindergarten to college, but he was a little confused about Amy's marriage.
