Drover was stunned for a moment before finally reacting. He hurriedly lowered his head. "No, it’s nothing.”
He had always been confident. I had never seen him flustered, but he looked like he was somewhat confused just now.
Could it be because of the woman in his heart?
I looked at Marius, puzzled. He beckoned to me. I followed him, and we reached a small corner of the rooftop. There was suddenly sadness in his joy-filled face earlier.
Marius was wholly sentimental. Even the tone of his speech was not as cheerful as usual. It was heavy. "Drover used to be so in love with a girl, but then an accident happened and she passed away. Drover threw himself into research and work every day. He never fell in love again. I'm worried that he might not be able to get past it, so I often follow him around."
So that was the case.
I turned to look at Drover, who was grilling the meat silently. He also had someone he loved.
Those who passed away were delivered, while those who remained were filled with grief.
"What was her name?"
"Snow White."
"A very pretty name."
I knew that she was a very beautiful woman who carried a hint of coldness and pride the moment I heard her name. She definitely suited a man like Drover.
I suddenly recalled the string of small characters on the wardrobe just now. This name seemed to have appeared.
"Yeah, she was beautiful. Although her name was Snow White, she mentioned that she didn’t like white or the snow. She loved pink and wished to wake up in a pink space every day. That's why Drover designed such a room. It's a pity that she's no longer around.”
It was a pity. She and Drover would have become legends in the industry otherwise.
Regret flashed through my eyes unconsciously. It was regret for people who loved one another yet could not be together.
