What happened?&#8221; Frances asks lightly.<\/p>\n<p>I find it strange. Fernando has been dead for ten years. Why does Sabina say that it was related to him?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A few days ago, I dreamed about your dad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When Sabina speaks of Fernando, I see the sadness in her expression.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He told me he was really sorry that he left me forever before he could build a music park for me. It was not until then that I recalled before we got married, Fernando once told me he wanted to build a music kingdom for me and the location was the Golden Bay. Now, he&#8217;s gone, but I still want to have his wish met. So, I&#8217;m going to buy the land. You know, although the land area is not large, its price is not cheap. I had no choice, so I sold that ring.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, the truth has come out.<\/p>\n<p>Frances sits there without saying anything for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know what he&#8217;s thinking. I just sit beside him and gaze at him quietly.<\/p>\n<p>After a long time, I hear him say to Sabina in a hoarse voice, &#8220;You could tell me about this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was afraid that you would tell old Mr. Louis. You know how deeply he hates me. If he knew I was doing this, he would do everything he could to stop me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When Sabina says those words, her tone is aggrieved.<\/p>\n<p>Although Sabina always stands against me, I don&#8217;t have any resentment towards her.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, I feel sorry for her.<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s lost her beloved man and old Mr. Louis even keeps her away from Fernando&#8217;s everything. She must have been bearing great anguish and sorrow over the past ten years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will give the money to you, and I won&#8217;t tell him. As for the ring, you got to have someone buy it back,&#8221; Frances says in a deep voice.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I promise, I will never take it off again,&#8221; I nod at him.<\/p>\n<p>Back then, I took off the ring just in a fit of passion. After this lesson, I don&#8217;t dare to do that again.<\/p>\n<p>These two days, I&#8217;m in a good mood and Earl is not noisy. I&#8217;ve been sitting at the table, drawing the designs in earnest.<\/p>\n<p>I want to take part in the Light design competition.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I want to win the championship.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve drawn the designs for two days. Today, Frances takes me to shoot after work. After that, he goes home with me.<\/p>\n<p>When we reach the door, Hilda&#8217;s voice comes from inside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-488","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/488","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
