Outside the door, it was Johnson's simple and honest voice with faint concern. "Alline, are you asleep? "
"I'm fine, Uncle Johnson. What can I do for you?" Alline asked, wiping her tears in a hurry and taking a breath to try to make her voice sound calm. After that, she opened the door.
Although she had hidden, Johnson could still see that she had cried. He sighed as he had no way to help her. And then Alline leaned sideways to let Johnson in. Her house wasn't spacious, just with a bed, a stool and a simple desk which was filled with all kinds of paintings in it. When he saw it, a flash of light flashed in his eyes and he smiled with comfort "Alline, you are just like your mother. You had always liked to draw strange things like this from childhood. "
"I want to be the best designer in the world, just like my mom! "Alline swore in the eyes when she mentioned her mother.
Her mother, Sandra, was a talented designer and had been famous in Asia back then. But after a car accident happened to her, with the news that Alline and Andrew had divorced widely spread. As time went by, few people talked about that talented designer!
Johnson sighed with emotion. After a while, he asked "Alline, I heard from your aunt that, decided by Andrew, you would marry to the Mo family. Is it the one in the L city, which owned one of the top three jewelry companies in the world? "
Alline didn't know which family it was. William just told her it was the Mo family in the L city but he didn't mention which one in details.
"If it's the Mo family, then Alline, I want you to marry to this family! "Johnson thought of something. His usual calm and turbid eyes suddenly burst out with thick light, which made this ordinary man look bright.
"Why? "Alline was puzzled.
Johnson looked at her confused eyes, but he didn't intend to explain anything. "You can ask Andrew tomorrow whether the person you get married is Hiram or not. If yes, you can marry to him at ease. "
"Uncle Johnson..."
"Alline, trust me! I won't hurt you! "Johnson said affirmatively.
"But, Uncle Johnson, I have been waiting for Colin! And he is also the man I like! "Alline didn't know why Johnson was so stubborn about this matter, so she couldn't help saying that she had been waiting for Colin. And Johnson knew it as well. Colin had met Johnson and Johnson was satisfied with him. Therefore, Alline had no idea why Johnson suddenly asked her to marry to the Mo family? She couldn't figure it out.
What's more, she didn't know the Mo family at all and she just wanted to be the bride of Colin.
"Alline, I will tell you the answer later! As for Colin..." When Johnson thought of that sunny young man, the light in his eyes faded away gradually, and his expression at that moment seemed to be just an illusion. "You didn't meant to be with him! "
As if Alline would like to say something else, Johnson left her small room without any hesitation. She sat on bed blankly and then slowly lay on bed. She stared at the ceiling and what she thought was unknown.
She took out her phone and dialed the number carved in her heart again. The phone, which was the only connection between Colin and her, wasn't connected just as it ever was. 'Will you come back to me again, Colin?
I need you, you know?' Alline thought.
