Free Web NovelChapter 64: Sharing Candy
Editor: Henyee Translations
Anita pulled out the chocolate according to Owen’s instructions, peeled it off, and took a bite. "Yes, it’s really delicious."
Owen listened to Anita’s praise and mentally gave Bruce a score of 120. He began to think that his secretary was very useful.
"I’ll give you one." Anita took another candy out of the box, peeled it, and handed it to Owen.
Owen looked at it and quickly took the candy from her.
The two of them were like children as they ate the box of candy one by one.
"Owen, actually, I wanted to tell you about the wedding candy you mentioned the other day. There was a reason I rejected it. It was because..." Anita felt a little drunk tonight. She thought, maybe it was because she was eating alcoholic chocolate. For a moment, she wanted to say the words on her mind.
"I know why. Stop talking," Owen interrupted Anita before she could finish.
He was afraid that Anita would say something that would make him feel bad when the atmosphere was so good, so he interrupted her.
Anita thought he understood what she meant, so she didn’t continue.
"Oh, yes, Owen. Last night, I looked at your childhood photo at home. Mom brought me your photo album," Anita said while looking at Owen, who was sitting beside her.
This was the question she had wanted to ask yesterday. It was just that the two of them hadn’t been very happy last night.
"What photo? What’s so good about me when I was young?" Owen felt nervous the moment he heard Anita mention his childhood.
"Owen, what are you nervous about? I think you were cute when you were young," Anita said with a smile, as if she had read Owen’s mind.
"Was I cute? I didn’t actually like to talk when I was young. Many kids didn’t want to play with me." Owen saw that Anita didn’t mean to laugh at him, so he relaxed and sat on the sofa.
"That’s because they didn’t realize how good you were. It’s their loss. If I knew you when we were young, we would have been good friends," Anita said to Owen.
They were comforting words, but when Owen listened to Anita’s words, he felt a rush of warmth.
"You know what? When I was young, I grew up with my grandmother and didn’t come back to live with my parents until I was in my teens," Owen said quietly.
"I know. Mom told me yesterday that you and Grandma were very close."
"Yes, when I was young, Grandma was the best person to me. When some children didn’t play with me, Grandma would make something good and let me bring it to the children so that they could play with me. But later, Grandma fell ill and left me." Owen seemed to be lost in memories, and his voice began to choke.
"You know what? I wasn’t even with her at the end. Over the years, I can’t even remember what my grandmother looked like, because I didn’t even have a photo of her," Owen said quietly.
Anita couldn’t help but lean closer when she saw Owen sad. She reached out and hugged Owen.
"Do you know, on my 12th birthday, my parents had agreed to bring me and the whole family to Disneyland, but in the end, they called it off because of a company meeting."
"I was especially sad at that time. I felt that they didn’t love me at all. At that time, I was lucky to have Grandma. It was Grandma who accompanied me to Disneyland. The two of us celebrated my 12th birthday together. This was also my most unforgettable birthday."
"I remember that we took a lot of pictures, but I can’t find any of these now. There are only some fragments in my memory." At this moment, Owen seemed to have found a listener, and he didn’t care if Anita responded or not, but he kept talking.
Anita’s mind started to wander as she listened to Owen.
When Owen just said that there was Disneyland on his 12th birthday, she thought about how she seemed to have been only 6 years old 20 years ago.
That year, she seemed to have gone to Disneyland. Her family was quite well-to-do back then, and her father had not retired yet.
At that time, her father had even received a bonus and had even asked her if she had any present she wanted. She seemed to have said that she wanted to go to Disneyland.
Although this request was a little too much, her mom and dad decided to satisfy her after discussing it. At that time, Anita remembered how happy. she felt
At the thought of this, Anita suddenly remembered that she and Owen had both gone to Disneyland in California that year. Was this a coincidence?
Thinking of this, Anita quickly reached out and shook Owen’s hand. "Owen, you celebrated your 12th birthday 20 years ago. You went to Disneyland on July 15, right?" freewebnoveℓ.com
Owen froze at Anita’s sudden words.
"Tell me quickly. Did you?" Anita asked anxiously again while looking at Owen, who wasn’t saying anything.
