Since Curtis had a fiancee yet unmarried, Helen felt a ray of hope and was unwilling to give up, hoping to marry Curtis.
This humiliation was vivid in Sheldon’s memory as the woman that he had proposed to did not only rejected his marriage proposal but also announced publicly that she was still waiting for another man.
Ever since then, he hated Curtis to the core of his soul.
Not long after, Curtis got married in Eastcliff.
That night, Helen cried devastatingly and then refused to leave the house for a month.
Every day, Sheldon would go to the Dunn residence with flowers to see her, and it went on for thirty-nine days. With thirty-nine roses, he finally won Helen's heart.
Helen, who had lost nearly twenty pounds, walked out of her room and out of the house. She said a sentence t o Sheldon, who was holding a bouquet of roses outside the door.
She asked Sheldon if he was still willing to marry her i f she might not be able to forget Curtis for the rest of her life.
Sheldon agreed while gritting his teeth.
And then, Helen and Sheldon got engaged quickly, and
a month later, they got married on a whim. 2
At the beginning of the marriage life, Sheldon couldn't sleep at ease and he had his heart in his mouth every night. 3
He feared his wife, who was sleeping beside him, would call Curtis's name in her dreams.
The fear soon became a reality.
Within a few days of marriage, Sheldon heard Helen whimpering Curtis's name every day when he drifted i n and out of his shallow sleep.
It was the most devastating moment in his life.
Not long after, their eldest son, Jaime, was born.
Only then did Helen finally shift her focus from Curtis to her son.
Since then, Sheldon was finally able to sleep soundly.
"Yes." Sheldon nodded and said, "But he has a slightly understated temperament, probably because of his rather casual attire. Curtis was full of grandeur and charisma back then!" 3
Yasin asked again, "Could that kid be Curtis Wade's offspring?"
"Unlikely," Sheldon said in a cold voice. "Curtis’s offspring has long since disappeared and no one knows whether he or she is still alive. Even the Wade family themselves couldn't locate them. I bet he or she must be long dead out there." 4
With that said, Sheldon smiled smugly and mocked, " Back then, Curtis made a lot of enemies and even offended the Rothschild family who was reigning in
Europe and the United States. Besides, domestically, many people picked on him and even wanted to kill him because of his overly marvelous ability." 2
Sheldon lit a cigarette and said flatly, "That kid looks quite similar to Curtis, but I think he is most probably a Japanese and he just shares the similar facial features." 12
Yasin nodded lightly and asked, "Mr. Sheldon, where are we going next? Back to the hotel or?" 1
"No, we can't go back to the hotel," Sheldon said in a cold voice. "If those people from the Tokyo Police Department can't catch Rosalie, they will definitely find a way to annoy me. It's better for me to leave Tokyo as soon as possible!" 3
Then, he suggested, "Just ignore the hotel room. We'll drive directly north to Aomori Prefecture and spend two days relaxing in a hot spring before leaving Japan."
