Long Time, My Baby

Chapter 31 The Fish Is Hooked

In the cafe, Vivian looked at the woman in front of her in surprise.

"I'm really sorry for bumping into you just now. This coffee is my compensation." Alina apologized with a smile.

"It's okay, miss Alina. My name is Vivian. I like you very much. I'm your fan." Vivian held Alina's hand beside the coffee cup.

Alina smiled and asked, "Really?"

"Yes, of course it's true." Vivian nodded. "I've watched every movie you've acted and bought every product you've endorse."

"Now that we know each other, let's be friends." Alina broke free from Vivian's grip, picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

"Really? Can I make friends with you? I'm so lucky. I'm going to be friends with my idol. " Vivian was too excited to say anything.

Alina smiled gently and thought to herself, 'it's not bad to be a star. It will be much easier with my brainless fans.'.

"Miss Alina, can I have some gossip?" Vivian asked tentatively.

"Sure. You can just call me Alina. We are already friends. I will call you Vivian." Alina smiled at the woman in front of her.

"Alina, Mr. Charlie said he wanted to marry you. When will you get married?" Vivian asked curiously.

Alina's face suddenly darkened and she didn't say anything.

Vivian was a little flustered, "Did I ask something that I shouldn't have asked?"

"No." Alina lowered her head. "The date is not fixed yet. I don't think I will marry him."

"Why?" Vivian was a little surprised.

"He..." Alina wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

"What's wrong with Mr. Charlie?"

"Anyway, we are friends. Let me tell you. He has an affair." Alina closed her eyes painfully.

"What?" Vivian got angry at once.

Alina held her hand and said, "Vivian, don't be so excited. I'm used to it. I'm much better now."

However, Vivian was still defending her, "Alina, who is that woman? I'll help you teach her a lesson. "

Alina smiled and quickly recovered her sadness.

The fish was hooked.

"Her name is Leah Ye." Alina's voice was full of pain and sadness.

"She?" Vivian was surprised, "How could she..."

"Vivian, you don't know that the woman who has broken off the engagement with Charlie last time was Leah Ye." Alina looked out of the window, with tears in her eyes.

"What? What the hell is going on? " Vivian frowned and became angry.

"Last time, there was no news about her on the newspaper. She was the fiancee Mr. Barton gave to Charlie. But Charlie didn't like her. Then he said he wanted to marry me, because I was pregnant at

that time, and Mr. Barton was a little hesitant."

"I don't know how Leah heard about it. When Charlie was not at home, she called several people to come to my house and forced me to take the abortion, causing my child to be aborted. Later, Mr. Barton didn't want Charlie to marry me. On the engagement day, Charlie was forced to do so."

Vivian was furious, "This shameless woman is so vicious."

Alina smiled with relief. "It doesn't matter. I'm used to it."

"Then Mr. Charlie doesn't like her, does he? Why do you... "

"I don't know. I just know that once when I went to the company to bring lunch to Charlie, I saw them in the lounge..." A teardrop ran down Alina's face.

Seeing that Alina was crying, Vivian immediately comforted her, "Alina, don't cry. I believe that Mr. Charlie still loves you. As for Leah, she works in the same department with me. I'll help you punish her."

Hearing this, Alina was a little flustered. "No, Vivian. Don't be against her. Now she not only has Charlie, but also Lucian Mu. I don't want you to be involved."

"Alina, she and I work in MZ group. I'm her leader. It's not a big deal to give her a hard time." Vivian narrowed her eyes.

"That's even worse. If Lucian knows it and makes you lose your job, how can I bear it?" Alina frowned and advised earnestly, but her heart was filled with joy.

"Well, Alina, don't worry. I'll give her a hard time." Vivian's eyes were full of malice.

"If that's the case, thank you very much. I have been in poor health since the miscarriage. I'm afraid there are some things that I can't deal with in person." Alina felt a little embarrassed.

"It's okay. I'll do it for you. You just need to cooperate with me." Vivian held Alina's hand and thought to herself.

"I will try my best to help you. This is my name card. You can call me at any time." Alina took out her business card and handed it to Vivian.

"Okay, Alina. You need to have a good rest these days. Miscarriage will do great harm to your health."

"Okay, thank you for your concern. I'll go back first." Alina stood up and said goodbye to [凌薇].

Walking out of the cafe, Alina took out her phone and dialed a number. "Everything is done."

In the afternoon, Leah went to a new gallery in Wilson City.

This gallery was opened by the world famous painter, Eric. He was from Wilson City. After winning several international awards abroad, he came back. This gallery had just been opened not long ago.

Leah walked into the gallery. There were a lot of people there. After all, Eric was famous and many people came for him.

In fact, she wanted to be a painter since she was a child, but after her mother's death, she had no chance to learn painting anymore. She worked with the servants of Ye clan all day long. Studying in art spent a lot of money in the university, so this matter was put aside.

Eric was called the most spiritual painter. Every piece of his work seemed ordinary, but it contained a kind of spiritual energy that ordinary painters did not have.

Leah stopped in front of a painting, on which there was a scene of a village. The village was close to the mountains and rivers, and the color was bright, but there was a faint sense of sadness.

"Miss, do you like this painting?" A calm voice came.

Leah turned around and saw a man in his forties standing beside her.

"Are you Mr. Eric?" Leah was surprised to see Eric so soon.

Seeing the surprised look on Leah's face, Eric smiled and said, "Then who do you think I am?"

"No, I didn't expect to see you so soon." Leah nodded slightly.

"Do you like this painting?" Eric glanced at the painting on the wall and then looked at Leah.

"I think this painting is very different." Leah pondered.

"Oh, why is it different?" Eric was surprised that the little girl could see that.

"The color on the painting is very bright, which indicates that you like this place very much. But I think this painting is a kind of sadness. There must be a story in this place. You should miss this place very much, but now things are different and you can't go back." Leah voiced out her thoughts.

"It's the same as writing articles. Every place in the painting is a mixture of all kinds of essence. The place in the painting is not a real place. It's just a fusion of many sceneries." Eric's tone gradually became cold, but he was a little happy in his heart.

"Well, I'm an outsider. Please forgive me." Leah's eyes darkened and said apologetically.

"But since you like this painting, I'll give it to you." Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Leah's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Do you think I will lie to you in my identity?" Eric's expression was a little unnatural.

"Thank you." Leah smiled.

"In return, go upstairs with me for a cup of tea."

"It's my honor."

On the second floor, Eric was making tea.

"I don't know your name yet."

"My name is Leah Ye."

Hearing that, Eric paused and asked, "What's your relationship with Ye clan?"

"I..." Leah didn't look well.

"Forget it if you don't want to tell me." Glancing at her embarrassed face, Eric put the brewed tea in front of her and hinted her to have a taste.

Leah picked up the teacup in front of her and smelt the faint fragrance of Longjing tea.

"Good tea."

"Well, Miss Leah, I think you have some talent for painting. You majored in painting?" Asked Eric.

"I majored in finance. My mother used to paint. I learned it from her when I was a child."

"Oh? I guess your mother is a painter. Tell me, do I know her? " Although he was a little excited, he still looked calm.

"My mother is not a painter. You won't know her. She has passed away for a long time." Leah's eyes were full of sadness.

Hearing that, Eric felt very disappointed. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm really sorry."

"It's okay." Leah smiled.

"Can you come here more often? It's my destiny to meet you today. I haven't been back for a long time. Now I'm back, and there's no one to talk to. " There was an unreadable expression in Eric's eyes.

"Okay, I will come here more often." Leah was very happy to know such a great painter. Maybe she could teach herself to paint.

"I'm a little tired. Please help yourself, Miss Leah." Hearing his answer, Eric was overjoyed and went back to the lounge.

Leah nodded politely and left the gallery.

In the room, Eric took out a photo from the drawer and murmured, "Michelle, a girl came here today. She looks like you in the past. Do you think she is your daughter?"
