Chapter 57: Conditions

Proofread by Peter Gong

There is a faint scent in the morning sun, and the surrounding plants and trees are just watered. The smell of grass fills Florence’s nostrils and the bitterness in her heart suddenly dissipates. Looking at the two people under the sun, Florence feels a bit agonized because she knows that such a warm time will not last long. Looking at Nelson’s chipper smile, she feels a little guilty. Rodney notices her apparently blue mood and appeases, “Actually, Mr. Si is not as cold as you think. In private he treats the young…” When the words come to his lips, ‘the young master’ immediately is changed into Nelson. “Actually, Mr. Si is kind to Nelson.” Florence gives a half-smile, “Well, I know.” And she also promises to Brian that she and Nelson will stay here for four months. At that time, he will not interfere with her. For such a tempting condition, she naturally agrees with it.

One day, Florence unexpectedly meets Tabitha. To her surprise, Tabitha has completely changed since they haven’t seen for two months. The previous unruliness and arrogance disappear completely, and it is replaced by a depressed and gloomy look. Her original exquisite, fair, and shiny skin has now darkened, and she is severely emaciated. When Florence notices her, she is amazed. She wonders why Tabitha would become like this? Isn’t Antonia already married to Brian? Walking on the road, Tabitha also finds Florence, but she is only slightly surprised, and then her listless expression returns. If it was before, when she met Florence, she would have taken a dig at her. But now, she has lost that energy and is unable to fight back. As if they are strangers, Tabitha walks away from Florence directly and leaves. She is even in a worse mood. Looking at the back of the departing Tabitha, Florence spends a long time coming to her sense, shakes her head, and then turns away.

Walking on the road, Tabitha is in a trance, wandering in the street, not knowing where to go. Unconsciously, she arrives at the airport. “Oh! how do I get here?” Tabitha looks up and sees the airport sign. Tabitha purses her lips and laughs at herself. When she is about to leave, a pleasant and familiar female voice comes into her ears. “Brian, remember to come to accompany me after working. If I am alone on the honeymoon, I will be very lonely.” “Okay, I know it. You go first, and I’ll go to find you then.” “You’re the best husband, Brian. So I am waiting for you over there. You must finish your work as soon as possible!” Is this, Antonia and Brian?

In a great shock, Tabitha hurriedly turns around and looks anxiously towards the airport exit. A man and a woman, dressed brightly and beautifully, seem to be hugging each other sweetly, and they walk out of the airport while talking. Tabitha fixes her eyes on them and she directly notices the beautiful and familiar face which is like a fine carving. It’s him! Brian! Long time no see! Tabitha is excited because that face is once her dream marriage partner. “Brian!” Tabitha couldn’t help herself for a while, so she completely ignores Antonia who stands beside Brian and shouts directly at him. Brian and Antonia hear it, and immediately they stand still. Looking up, they see Tabitha, whose eyes are full of excitement. Brian doesn’t expect to meet Tabitha here. So he is slightly surprised for a second, and then calms down, nods at her as a response. “Huh!” Antonia is also surprised when she sees that the comer is her sister, but then she sneers and watches her with her cold eyes. She clearly finds her sister’s obsessive look when she looks at Brian!
