Chapter 39

Kim’s chin rested on top of her head, and it

d it felt like she was still the girl in his arms like before.

I’ve been waiting for you day by day. You’re driving me crazy. Alita. Do you even know? I really can’t hold on much longer,” said Kim.

The wounds on Alita’s body stung more. She couldn’t tell for whom she was feeling so sad, but the suppressed pain in her heart made her want to cry.

“Kim, let me go. We’ve missed,” said Alita.

“No, it’s not over. From now on, I will do whatever it takes. I will bring you back. You’re just lost.” Kim kissed her hair, his crystal-clear eyes gleaming with determination.

Jaydon stood on the stairs, hands in his pockets. He watched the tightly embraced couple in the kitchen and narrowed his eyes, emitting a ruthless glint. Alita, you bitch!’ he cursed inwardly,

Alita tried to push Kim’s hand away from her eyes but failed.

In the dark world in her mind, tiny lights flickered and jumped. Each light represented a memory, memories of the boy in blue and the girl with bangs. They met in the autumn and parted in the next autumn, spending a whole year creating many beautiful memories, all to make the present feel so sad.

Her heart tightened, and she said, “Only children get lost, Kim. Ive grown up, I won’t get lost again. Stop looking: that girl won’t come back. I’m sorry.”

Kim’s hand turned ice-cold, trembling slightly.

“Knock, knock.” Two crisp knocks echoed, chilling in the silent moment.

Alita was scared out of her wits. Her first reaction was Jaydon. She forcefully pushed Kim’s hand. “Let go of me.”

Kim swiftly composed himself.

“Kim, does it feel nice to hold my wife?” Jaydon walked over, revealing a sinister smile.

Alita’s heart sank when she heard Jaydon’s voice. ‘Oh no!” she said inwardly.

Kim released Alita and gave Jaydon a warm smile. “I just wanted to play a little joke with her, make her guess who I am. But she’s quite foolish; she couldn’t figure it out for so long”

Alita’s face turned pale, and she looked away. There was nothing she could explain about what just happened.

Jaydon’s fierce eyes shifted from Kim to Alita. “Darling, did you have fun playing?”

Alita didn’t answer and turned away. She closed the stove and picked up the spatula. “Nothing fun. The food is burnt. I have to cook it again. Get out, both of you.”

“T’ll leave first. Kim sneered at Jaydon and passed by him, exiting the kitchen. Entering the Lewis family was his first step, so he couldn’t afford to be hasty.

Alita secretly glanced down and saw the black slippers. She knew Jaydon was still there. “What does he want to do?’ she thought and felt uneasy.

“Ah!” Suddenly, a scream echoed from the kitchen

Kim had just gone upstairs to call Annabel down for dinner. When he heard the scream, his heart tightened, and he
