The breakfast was tasteless.
After the meal, Samuel carried his son to one side and said pretending to be angry, “Did you say anything to your Mommy?”
She had not finished her breakfast, which made him distressed.
Sidney grinned and didn't tell his father.
Samuel pressed his head and threatened him with a smile, “Don't provoke your mother, understand? Or I'll send you back.”
Sidney was scared. He embraced his father's thigh and told him what he said to Matilda.
Samuel frowned, stroked the head of Sidney and said earnestly, “Good boy, let’s take our time and don't force your mother, ok?”
Vaguely incomprehensible, Sidney nodded. Looking at his son, Samuel silently sighed.
How long could he wait?
Ten years? Twenty years?
She might not agree until the children had grown up.
‘Matilda, please say yes to me.’
However, Matilda did not know what was in their mind. She wondered how to persuade them to go back.
She thought of ten thousand ways, but Matilda was not ruthless enough to carry them out, until that day, Samuel said he would take her shopping.
Matilda thought it would be good to talk outside, at least not in front of the child.
With this mood in mind, she followed Samuel for dinner, clothes and movies, and did everything a couple would do on a date.
At this time, they were walking side by side in a famous street. The people were crowded. The parasol leaves on both sides of the road were spinning and falling down, just like Matilda's mood at this time.
How could she mention it without being awkward?
She looked down at her toes. Suddenly her hand was held, Samuel said pleasantly, “Look.”
Matilda followed his gaze. Right in front of her was a man wearing a sign on his chest. It wrote, “Please follow the arrow.”
Matilda thought it was the promotion method of some business. She was about to leave, but Samuel pulled her wrist and said, “Let's go and have a look.”
Samuel's eyes were bright, and Matilda's heart was soft. She thought that after today she would say goodbye so she followed him.
They followed the arrow.
She did not notice that if it was promotion, how could others not follow the arrow?
Along the way, signs were hung or held up to show her the way. As she followed the arrows, there were less and less people until she came to a big tree.
It was an old pagoda tree with a large canopy. She stood next to it. A young man who had been waiting there handed her an envelope and said “May the Lord bless your happiness” and walked away.
Matilda found that Samuel disappeared at that moment.
She knew he made all this. She held the thin envelope in her hands and opened it after thinking.
Dear Matilda,
Are you still angry when you saw this letter?
