Kiss me tender novel Chapter 152

Eric looked at Melissa through the flames, his eyes sparking like sparks, but he was so focused that nothing could stop him.

"You left just to prepare this for me?" Melissa asked obsessed at last. She looked at his expression and his eyes in slience.

Eric nodded, "Yes, I just want to make you happy. You have been having a hard time these days. With so many doubts in your mind, I just want to make you relaxed. No matter how difficult the situation is, I will stand behind you and protect you."

She couldn't help but burst into tears, which kept streaming down her face.

Eric panicked all of a sudden. He grabbed her shoulder and asked, "What's the matter?"

Melissa shook her head and said bitterly, "I just thought of my childhood..."

Seeing her crying, Eric was at a loss and asked, "Why do you cry when you thought about your childhood? Did I remind you something that make you sad? Sorry, i I didn't know that... "

"Nope!" Melissa shook her head again. ·"You did a good job. That's why I'm so happy. When I was a child, my parents, grandpa and grandma also set fireworks for me by the sea. But later, my grandpa was accidentally burnt to death by the fire. Since then, we haven't set the fireworks again... But I can't forget the happiness of my family, especially when I think of the death of grandpa... "

"It seems that I have caused your sadness!" Eric sighed and said apologetically.

Melissa shook her head again. "No, you ·are not. Actually, my feelings for the fire are complicated, not just sadness, because I had been happy in this kind of fire, and at the same time... There is another thing that makes me feel complicated... "

And there she stopped, lowering her head. The fire was not only the happiness she felt when she was a child, but also the feeling when her grandfather was burnt to death by the fire… She remembered the feeling that when she know how Colin missed Avril.

Melissa had been with Colin for five years, but he didn't surprise her every year, not even on her birthday. He would spend lots money to buy a lot of precious things for her, such as jewels, bags, etc. But he never asked what she liked or what she wanted. He just bought many things for her as his will. The rare and precious thing he had given her was supposed to make her happy. But what he didn't know was that it only made her feel cold in her heart. She felt that he was only treating her as a common mistress, and that he had never had too much thought on her.

But it happened on Avril's birthday. Right after Avril died, he still remembered to celebrate her birthday every year. On Avril's birthday, he bought cakes, red wine and a delicate candlelight dinner. He and an empty chair, an empty bowl and a knife together. After finishing candlelight dinner, he would set fireworks in the yard alone. Slowly, it burned into a heart shape, and burned away, burning his loneliness of missing someone.

Melissa used to look at Colin doing all these on the windowsill. The moonlight was shining brightly. In the quiet night, she stood upstairs in her pajamas and looked at the man downstairs. She was also lonely. What was worse, after seeing what had happened last night, Colin could still hold her in his arms and slept with her.

Melissa hated this feeling. She hated being taken as a stand in for Avril. She also mentioned to him that she wouldn't come on Avril's birthday party from now on. Colin forced a smile and said domineering, "you're Avril's substitute. Why can't I see you on her birthday? Don't forget that you are also my woman! "

Melissa loathed this feeling, in a powerless way. In the end, Melissa learned to behave like a spoiled child. She also asked him to celebrate her birthday with her in a candlelight dinner when he was in a good mood. Colin agreed. But later, on her birthday, Colin always forgot it use all kinds of things as an excuse, either being on a business trip, or busy in his company, and could not come back home to accompany her, so she could only celebrated her birthday by herself, or go home with her parents.

It was understandable that Melissa thought he was too busy, but in the next two years, three years, or even four years and five years, he was not busy every time it came to Avril's birthday, and sometimes he would honor Avril. But on Melissa's birthday, he would always forget or be busy. Later, Melissa found out that it was not because he was too busy or he was often forgetful, but because she and Avril had a different position in his heart. Of course, he only remembered the woman he loved, and the woman he didn't care about, so he found an excuse to refused her.

Later, Melissa stopped asking Colin to celebrate birthday with her. On the day of her birthday, she asked for a day off in advance to celebrate it with her parents. She thought she could have ignored this, but Eric reminded her that when she saw the romantic fireworks today, she could not help but feel sad.

She was sad, missed grandpa and hated Colin's neglect and Colin's harm to her.

Eric asked her what else things could make her cry several times, but she didn't answer him. At this time, how could she tell him about her feelings for Colin? Seeing that she really didn't want to answer his question, Eric gave up the idea. He held her in his arms and said, "Since you are just moved, then don't cry. I'm trying to make you happy, not to make you cry!"

Melissa hugged Eric back and said, "Thank you… Thank you. You are a good man. I will cherish you in the future! " She would never make the same mistake again. She never had a happy time when she was with Colin. But after she had only been with Eric for one day, she had already been moved by him, who made her felt the happiest? It was obvious.

Hearing her words, Eric just laughed with her in his arms. He was satisfied. He believed that she would fall in love with him sooner or later, as long as she was moved.

They hugged each other by the sea for a while until they thought it was time to go back. It was already 21 o'clock at that time, and the food stall was overcrowded. But they got their seats as Melissa booked a private room. After they had dinner in the room, they left secretly. Maybe it was because the food stall was low-grade that no one recognized Eric. He hid himself from the crowd with a hat and sunglasses. The waitresses probably didn't think a big star like Eric would come to such a place. And there were a lot of people, so they didn't have time to carefully observe the appearance of the guests.
