Can't Let Go novel Chapter 72

  The voice calling "Your Ladyship" was so loud and clear.

  But Linda Yun looked at those people indifferently, then she lowered eyes and did not seem to have much feeling to the address.

  All of the servants looked at each other, quite confused, and didn’t know what they had done wrong.

  Why did the lady look more unpleasant?

  However, Michael Huo was in a good mood and went to the garden while holding her hand.

  This time Linda Yun didn’t struggle because she was attracted by those flowers.

  Michael Huo walked with her hand in hand and observed her facial expression.

  She suddenly stopped under a cherry tree.

  "You like the cherry blossoms?"

  "Yes." She answered with a faint tone, then put away her hand. She suddenly squatted down and picked the cherry petals on the ground one by one.

  "There is a cherry tree at my home in Phoneix City. My mother is always in a good mood when it blooms in March and April every year." She said and stood up. "She is able. She can use those cherries to make cheery pie, cherry jelly cake and cherry wine. The dried cherry petals can also be used to make tea. It’s the same as New Year for me when the cherry blooms every year."

  The cherry petals on her palm were quickly blown away in the breeze.

  Linda Yun’s smile suddenly froze.

  Flowers, they would bloom every year.

  But her mother had been gone...

  She looked very lonely when stating at the fluttering cherry blossoms.

  Michael Huo didn’t say a word and felt worried about her without reason.

  Then, he went up, pulled her clothes on shoulder more tightly, and said with a engaging and attractive voice, "I will admire the cherry blossoms with you later!"

  Linda Yun looked up at the very serious man.

  "I’m tired. I want to go back to the room and have a rest."

  Michael Huo knew she was refusing.

  She had been in a state of alert since he had first known her.

  Although Richard Qu was trying to care about her, he still could see that there had been a shackle in her heart.

  This shackle had locked all outside concern.

  He was not in a hurry. He could unlock the shackle in her heart one day!

  It was 6:30 p.m.

  Mary Yun sat at the table and the whole person looked decadent.

  Why didn’t they come down?

  Linda Yun must have done it on purpose.

  She didn’t want him to see me!

  So she asked Mrs. Zhang to take food upstairs to them.

  "Mary, Mary!" Qu Zhirong saw her absence of mind and couldn’t help calling her.

  Mary Yun went blank, came to herself in a hurry and said in a low spirit, "mommy."

  Qu Zhirong certainly knew what was on her mind. She reached over and patted her on the back of her hand, "do you know where you lose to her?"

  Mary Yun looked up at Yun Zhirong and shook her head.

  "You are too kind. You should remember a woman needs to try all she can do to grasp a man. Although I don’t understand why he marries her, she must have something you don’t have. So, you need to learn. You should remember that you look exactly same!"

  The words were meaningful!

  "We look exactly the same..."

  "Are you sure that she hasn’t made use of it to approach him and then used her own method?" Qu Zhirong reminded.

  Mary Yun suddenly waked up with a start and her eyes were red from anxiety, "what should I do, mommy?"

  "Grab him back!"

  Mary Yun looked at her and frowned. Grabbed him back?

  "Mommy..." She ped her eyes, "I don’t know why. I always feel Tingchen does not seem to like me any more..."

  She did not know why. She felt Tingchen was more and more indifferent to her.

  His unapproachable attitude made her more and more overwhelmed.

  "That’s what you need to learn!" Qu Zhirong looked at her and asked, "what will you do if you marry him and find he has another woman on the side? Will you divorce him?"

  Mary Yun was stunned and shook her head, "I won’t."

  Qu Zhirong smiled with satisfaction, "that should do. Men only hook up. You should regard her as his lover and you need to learn from her what you don’t have!"

  Mary Yun didn’t say a word with the other hand holding her skirt, making it clear that she was confused.

  "Mary, don’t look down on her mean tricks. It is those frumpy tricks that are more attractive to man."

  Mary Yun looked at Qu Zhirong. She was too shocked by her words to know what to say.

  "You should think about what I have said. You should remember you haven’t lost. Firstly, you just look like her. Secondly, you have Xinya’s heart. With this alone, he will not blame you whatever you do. Do you understand?" She said and stood up, "think it over!"

  After finishing these words, Qu Zhirong left the table.

  Yu Na sat at the table, considering what Qu Zhirong had said.

  Just like her...

  She couldn’t help touching her cheek with hands.

  So Linda Yun had been winning with her face at the beginning.

  Because of this, he was unhinged.

  Because of this, he approached her.

  So he was bewildered by her because of frequent approach.

  Her hands were clenched tightly into fists.

  Five years ago, she almost lost to Xinya.

  Five years later, was she going to lose to Linda Yun again?

  And leaving the man whom she had been in love more than ten years holding her sister?

  In an instant, her mind was full of foul pictures of them.

  And, why didn’t they come down for dinner?

  She could not understand why they eat in the ward?

  Were they doing shameful things?

  Although they couldn’t sleep with each other because of Linda Yun’s physical condition, she had a mouth!

  It was known that sometimes, men preferred women’s mouth.

  Thinking about this, she lost control and got crazy.

  That man was undoubtedly hers, why would she take him away?

  No, she absolutely couldn’t just sit still and give up!

  Right, they were the same in appearance!

  She certainly could do what Linda Yun could do!

  At 8:30 p.m, as usual, Michael Huo would swim in his own swimming pool.

  That was his habit.

  Linda Yun was still reading a book with her body curled up on the sofa. She was reading the Company Law.

  "You should ask me if you want to learn, do you think it’s useful to read the dead book?" Michael Huo took a piece of clothes and looked at her.

  She read the book while cupping her cheeks and ignored his words.

  She certainly knew he was right. Practice is much more important than theory.

  But now she should have just a little knowledge even if she was going to practice.

  Graduation season was drawing near in two months. At that time, only with 30 % of chance at least would she start a business.

  Therefore, every step was an extra important for her now.

  After all, there was no one she could rely on.

  She must be cautious at each step.

  Michael Huo closed the closet and saw her frown, biting nails and staring at the book. It was unknown what was on her mind.

  He walked over and picked up her book.

  "What are you doing?" Linda Yun was stunned and wanted to grab the book with one hand but was held by Michael Huo.

  Then, he bent down and curled her thin body in the sofa with arms. His thin lips whispered in her ear with a low voice beating her eardrum, "do you know how many times your school has invited your husband to give speech and I have refused?"

  Linda Yun didn’t say a word and still kept the original action.

  "It’s enough and don’t read. Your health condition doesn’t allow you to read for a long time. You should have a rest for a while and I’ll tell you what the market is after a shower." He said, then carried and placed her gently on the bed.

  "I’ll be back soon." Michael Huo said, taking clothes and going out.

  The moment the door was closed,

  Linda Yun was out of bed with bare feet.

  She went to the balcony alone.

  He was strange for these days and always in charge of her.

  It wasn’t allowed to open the window except at midday in the room. He said the wind wasn’t good for her health.

  But she totally didn’t need his care.

  It was true that she didn’t need anyone’s care.

  At the end of March in Austral City, people could wear short sleeves in the midday except on cool mornings and evenings.

  Linda Yun slowly curled up her body on the armchair of balcony. She had planned to be alone.

  She suddenly heard an outburst of sobbing as a cat’s swallow.

  The voice was...

  So familiar!

  She slowly sat up and followed it.

  Pushing the gauze curtain open, she clearly saw that Jennifer Huo couldn’t help crying with her body curled up in the hanging chair on the balcony.

  Linda Yun was somewhat surprised at her like this.

  However, she didn’t disturb her.

  She could certainly know from her suppressed sobs that Jennifer Huo didn’t want others to know she was crying.

  It was true that everyone had their own story.

  Linda Yun didn’t disturb her, she shut down the gauze curtain, closed the sliding door on the balcony and went to bed.

  ’Ding dong,’ At the very moment, her mobile phone rang once.

  Linda Yun saw a string of unmarked numbers. But she was familiar with these numbers.

  [Are you all right? I’m back!]

  Linda Yun’s pupils were magnified in one moment and the hand holding her phone began to shake.

  [I hear you are in Austral City, could we meet?]

  Linda Yun bit her lips on seeing that message. Her whole body was shaking and she didn’t know how to reply.

  After a long while, she put the phone down and was a little in panic.

  Suddenly, her phone rang.

  Linda Yun was surprised and looked at the phone quickly. It was from Kui.

  "Hello..."

  "Nian, he has come back. Do you know?" The voice of Kui was full of shock, "does he contact you? I heard he got off the plane this afternoon."

  Holding the phone, Linda Yun said nothing and was a little dumbfounded.

  "Nian..."

  "He made an appointment with me." After a long while, she answered, "he sent a message to me just now and asked me out..."

  "Oh, really? then would you like to meet him?" Kui asked hastily.

  "Meet him?"

  "Yes, meet him. You have been waiting for him so long, he’s back now. Don’t you want to see him?" Xiao Kui was excited for her.

  However, Linda Yun’s eyes were dim.

  Met him?

  What right did she have to meet him?

  "Nian? Nian, are you listening?"

  "Kui, you know I am married."
