Kim still dressed casually and carried himself with grace and charm, even at his age.
When he turned around and saw that it was her, he smiled in a very approachable way, "Miss Lim, what a coincidence!"
"How are you doing?" Wendy couldn't help but ask first.
"I'm fine now!" Kim smiled a little deeper after heard that, "By the way, thanks to the local method you told me about earlier, it really works! And, lately, I've also been feeling a lot more relaxed in my stomach, and even senior TCM doctors say I'm doing a great job of recuperating!"
"You're welcome, as long as it works for you!" Wendy smiled and shook her head.
Kim looked back inside the commercial building, smiled, and spoke up, saying, "There's a cinema up here, Miss Lim must have come with friends to see a movie, right?"
When Wendy was asked this question, she suddenly thought of Kim's identity.
He's not only an elder that she thought was easy to get along with, but he's also Madge's father...
"Well, yes, he went to get his car..." Wendy nodded her head with hesitation.
While she was hesitating to make it clear, Kim had already spoken again, "Coincidentally, my driver has also gone to fetch the car. I come to the bookstore to buy a book!"
"You didn't pick the one you like?" Wendy saw that his hands were empty.
"No." Kim shook his head with his hands spread out, and there was some disappointment in his tone and expression. "Perhaps the book I wanted to buy was so cold and dated that few people were reading it. Plus, it's a German translated novel, so it's even more difficult to find!"
"A German translated novel?" Wendy asked in surprise as she heard the latter part of the story.
"Yes, it's written by Heinrich Berl, he's a German writer, was once awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature! And while enrolled in school, he was drafted into the army, fought in World War II, and was wounded and taken prisoner, and his work has a lot of scrutiny and criticism, and although he has passed away, he is still known as the 'conscience of Germany'!"
Kim finished in one breath, seemed to realize that he had acted too excitedly, and was too busy laughing to explain, saying, "Sorry, I got a little excited talking about it. Since I studied in Germany and then lived there for many years, I've read a bit about some of the culture there! Miss Lim, being so young, is probably not interested in this foreign literature!"
After hearing what he said, Wendy had a thoughtful look on her face.
"May I ask the name of the novel?" She thought for a moment and asked tentatively. "Ansichten eines Clowns.1' replied Kim. ''Also, there is a movie of the same name based on the novel."
"'Ansichten eines Clowns?" Wendy was surprised once again as she repeated.
After he nodded, she couldn't help murmuring, "What a coincidence..."
"Miss Lim, what's wrong?" Kim asked in confusion.
Wendy smiled and said, "I just happen to have this novel, and it's in the original edition! Because it's important to me, Mr. Gray, if you want to read it, I'm sorry, but I can only lend it to you!"
He just said a bunch of long speeches, and she was actually very confused.
However, she was very familiar with the name of the writer. It was not that she knew much about German literature, but that her mother had not left many things behind. She always kept the novel in a safe place, reading it often from her childhood, remembering its contents and the name of the author vividly.
When Kim heard it, the lines under his eyes shook with excitement, and he almost came forward to hold her hand, "Really! Does Miss Lim have this novel, and it's an original?"

The readers' comments on the novel: Purchased A Mr. Right
Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
