"And, follow me—"
Pointing at the distance between them, Carolien wandered and said, "Would the family have any objections? I don't mean anything else. I just don't want to cause you trouble!"
After all, he was her ex-boyfriend's second uncle. And before that, although Guillermo loved her very much, the Collins family did not like her!
Originally, the two planned to get married after graduation. However, due to the huge gap between their families, she was born in a single-parent family. She also had a younger brother who was considered "a burden" shortly after she was born. Her family also ran a nightclub that was neither good nor bad. The Collins family felt that a daughter-in-law like her would be a long-term burden no matter how good she was. They had quite some complaints about her.
At that time, the two had just graduated and their careers were not stable. Guillermo insisted on marrying her. Although they had not fallen out with each other, their relationship had been quite stiff. Therefore, in the end, the two of them decided to establish an empire first and then get married. They relied on their own efforts to shut the Collins family up. Whether they could finally get the consent of their family or not, the two of them had to be together.
From the beginning to the end, their relationship was very good. Every time they quarreled, he would admit that he was wrong. From the moment Guillermo pursued her, he had always thought highly of her. Even if the family he cared most about could not separate them, but because of the family he cared most about, the two decided to have a stable career first. Therefore, he studied and achieved outstanding achievements while doing business, while she worked as a substitute. After a year, both of them had achieved something.
On the eve of his birthday, she specially invited him to Korea to celebrate his birthday. But she did not expect that their life would suddenly draw to an end at her happiest moment.
She went to Korea in a hurry. He proposed to her. On her birthday, she had booked a hotel to give him a surprise. Unexpectedly, after she gathered all her courage to give herself to him, it was like a bolt from the blue. It was not even daybreak. She was half asleep when she received a phone call from her home saying that her mother was dying. She went back in a hurry. She didn't even remember how she went out and returned to her country that day.
After returning home, she found out that her mother had cancer. There were early signs that she had been conservatively treated. Therefore, she was asked to protect her mother and repeatedly urged to marry Guillermo as soon as possible. However, she never expected that she would get sick two years later. She would never forget the two words she said to her mother before she died, "I'm sorry", because they had no relatives and a brother who was waiting to be fed.
She knew that for the rest of her life, her brother would be her responsibility.
But she didn't think it was a burden, because he was her only relative in this world.
Therefore, when she promised her mother, she was ready to break up with Guillermo. She used all her savings to save her mother's life. Unfortunately, after the operation, her mother only held on for two months. Although it was a short period of time, it was the last happy memory of their family.
At that time, Guillermo had been carrying out a final and tense sprint in Korea. She did not disturb him too much. Later, when things were almost settled, she finally declared that in the future, if she wanted to run a nightclub or get married, she had to take her younger brother with her. She had to raise her younger brother to an adult and see that he had a successful family and career. She did not tell him the news of his mother's death. But at that time, she had no choice. In order to take care of the sick mother and younger brother, she could only resign to run a more free nightclub. Her mother needed a large sum of money and her younger brother also needed a lot of money!
Later, the two of them quarreled because of this irreconcilable conflict, and then they broke up peacefully.
In the past few years, no matter Casterwich City or Korea, they were like two parallel lines and had never seen each other again.
"It doesn't matter. I am not bound by the Collins family! In fact, I am... an illegitimate child of the Collins family. It's normal that you haven't heard of me!"
Carolien obviously felt his loneliness. She knew that every family had its own problems. Rich families were even more complicated. There might be some stories. Carolien quickly said,
"Sorry, sorry, I shouldn't have inquired about your privacy!"
Originally, she wanted to ask him if he had gotten married. After all, it was not appropriate for a man from a family to come to such a place where he was too close to her. When Carolien arrived here, she automatically swallowed her words. Her gaze inadvertently swept over the man's palm, which was obviously covered with gloves, and her eyes paused.
Why did he wrap himself up so tightly? Wasn't he uncomfortable?
He still remembered when he first met her. He was also like this, wearing a mask!
All of a sudden, doubts arose. Unconsciously, Carolien slightly frowned.
This time, without her asking, Guillermo raised his hand following her gaze and took the initiative to say, "Are you very surprised why I've been wearing gloves all the time?"
"No, no." She shook her head like a rattle-drum. Carolien was afraid that she would touch something that others should not.
The man clenched his fist slightly. He seemed to be very casual and whispered, "My hand... needs to do some delicate work. They can't get hurt!"
His hand was to protect her, not for anyone to see, especially her!
His words suddenly came to her mind. Carolien nodded and smiled brightly, "Oh, no wonder, I understand. It's like the hands of a pianist, right?"
The man's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be lost in thought for a moment. "Mmm..."
She was still beautiful and moving. When she smiled, everything in the world seemed to be eclipsed.
After a few words, the two of them talked happily. This night, because of the appearance of Guillermo, Carolien's mood was much better.
