Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 442
Wendy was sure that she was not mistaken.
Although there was still some distance between them, she still recognized him. It was Kim who was arguing with the staff in the cemetery.
He was dressed very differently this time, every time she saw him before he's in a casual outfit, rarely dressed that formally. He wore black all over, even his shirt and exposed socks inside, were also black, giving a special sense of solemnity.
Wendy was very surprised and couldn't help but come forward to greet him.
It was just that after taking a few steps forward, she suddenly saw something and stopped walking.
Wendy swallowed her saliva very slowly, and stared at Kim for a moment, or to be more precise, at the bouquet of flowers in his arms.
The green leaves set off the blooming white petals. In the middle were pale yellow stamens, which were also stained with dewdrops. It seemed that each petal was carefully selected.
Calla lily...
Her mom's favorite flower.
Every time Wendy came to visit her mother, she would buy a bunch of common calla lily from a flower shop.
However, was there really so many coincidences in this world? "How is it possible that she's not here!" Kim's face was very excited. He questioned, "Last month when I returned to the city, I had come here. She was there, but I just went over there and couldn't find her! You work here, so you should be responsible for this!"
He had just searched all over the mountain road, but there was no sign of the tombstone he's looking for.
For the past few years, he had spent most of his time abroad. When this day came, he would find a place to pay his respects even if he couldn't make it back. This time, he decided to return and would not leave again, the first thing he did was to visit her. However, when he came back today, he couldn't find the tombstone.
The staff member said helplessly, "Sir, I really can't help you!"
"I didn't mean to trouble you. I came to see her last month, but now it's someone else's tombstone. Did none of your staff here know about it? You have to give me an explanation, or at least tell me where she moves to!" Kim's tone was very anxious, and his body was a little weak. In the end, he couldn't help coughing.
"This gentleman, I'll repeat it to you again, I really don't know!" The staff hurriedly said, "Why don't you wait a moment, I'll go back and ask my colleagues to check the files for you!" After that, the staff quickly ran to the office building.
Kim looked down at the calla lily in his arms and felt a sharp pain in his heart. When he turned around, he saw someone standing behind him. He calmed down and asked in surprise, "Miss Lim, why are you here?"
However, on second thought, he realized that those who could appear in this place were naturally here to visit someone.
Wendy did not answer. Instead, she stared at the flowers in his arms.
"This flower..."
Kim thought she was curious and explained with a smile, "It's calla lilies."
Wendy pretended to be puzzled as if she couldn't move her eyes away from the pale yellow flower pistil, and whispered, "Generally, when people come here, they will buy chrysanthemums or carnation. It's rare to see calla lilies..."
Normally, when people chose flowers to mourn someone, they would buy some white flowers, which symbolized regret and reminiscence. Although there was a hidden meaning behind calla lily, most people would habitually choose chrysanthemums or carnation, so this bunch of flowers in Kim's arms was very special.
"Well, my old friend loved it when she was alive." Kim nodded and frowned in annoyance. "But there seemed to be some mistakes. I came here and didn't find her..."
Wendy's hands, which were hanging on both sides, were clenched, and her fingertips, which were stuck in her palms, were slightly cold.
"Mr. Gray." She took a deep breath and struggled for two seconds before she made a decision. "I think... I should know where the person you're looking for is!"
"What did you say?" Kim looked at Wendy in surprise.
"Please come with me!" Wendy simply said.
Kim's face showed a confused expression. He didn't quite believe it, but he still chose to follow Wendy.
Wendy didn't say anything, just silently turned back the way she came. From the corner of her eyes, she saw that Kim was following her, and she felt that her heart was beating a little violently.
That felt very nervously, and very apprehensively, as if something covered in the dust was about to be uncovered.
Finally, Wendy stopped in front of her mother's tombstone. "We've arrived..."
Hearing this, Kim followed her gaze and immediately saw the person he was looking for. The tombstone had been rebuilt, but the person in the photo on the tombstone still remained at her youngest, as beautiful as ever.
"It's really here!" Kim said excitedly.
Wendy stood by his side and did not miss the tiny changes in expression on his face.
A lot of images that had happened in the past suddenly appeared in Wendy's mind, piled up one by one.
"I once had a first love with deep feelings, but it's a pity that fate played a trick on us, and we didn't end up together... I've been abroad these years, and after returning home, I always felt that there was no aura of her in the city. I heard her mention her hometown before, so I really wanted to come and have a look!"
"Sorry, I was a little excited just now and didn't control my emotions well. Miss Lim, I hope you don't mind!"
"Mainly because I have an old friend who loved to sing Huangmei opera, and she used to sing this part, I have heard it many times. I have also completely memorized this part in my heart. When I first heard someone sing it, I was in a trance and thought it was her. So that's why... But how is it possible? My old friend has passed away for many years!"
"I didn't know what love was until I met you."
Wendy knew that it is no longer just a coincidence.
She took a small step forward and asked tentatively, holding her breath, "Mr. Gray, I remember that when we met in the countryside for the second time, you told me that you wanted to visit your first love's hometown. Your first love...wasn't she the one?"
"Yes!" Kim was a little stunned, but he still admitted it frankly.
After the question was confirmed, Wendy breathed a sigh of relief.
"To tell you the truth, including that novel in German translation, the reason why I tried so hard to read it again is also because of her!" Kim's eyes were somewhat blurred as if he was recalling. "She's my first love and the only woman I've ever loved in my life. We've been in love for many years, and we've reached the point where we can stay together forever, but I never thought we would end up not being able to be together. She married someone else, and I..."
In the end, this love story could only be turned into a sigh.
Kim squatted down in front of the tombstone and put down the bouquet in his arms. "Aubree, I'm here, and I've brought your favorite flowers!"
