第28章

He gritted his teeth and prevented himself from asking her, because what she needs now is forgetting, not remembering more vividly, but damn it, his reason is very clear about what he should do, his mouth and hands are completely different. Cooperate.

"Sam, what do you mean this time?" He pushed her away from his arms, stared down into her tearful eyes, and asked seriously.

"The last time I met a pervert on the bus, he stood behind me and kept pushing me. No matter where I hide, he followed me like a shadow. I was so scared, but I didn't dare to scream. I hate being so useless. , So annoying, so annoying..." she choked.

"When was the last time, why didn't you tell me this?"

"On the day I met you, I had forgotten it, but I didn't expect..."

"Okay, don't think about the past. I'll drive you to and from school in the future, and you won't take the bus anymore." Cole decided.

Samara was so startled by his sudden announcement that she forgot to cry. "Cole, what did you say?" she asked in a dumb voice.

"I said that in the future, I will drive you to class and pick you up. Don't take the bus anymore. Also, temporarily forget about part-time work. Don't think about it again in the short term."

"No." She was taken aback for a moment, and shook her head.

"Why not?" He squinted at her.

"I can't trouble you like this, even if you don't mind, I can't do it." She said after wiping away the tears from her face.

"Why not? As long as I want to."

She shook her head quickly. "Cole, I remember telling you that the reason why I moved out to live alone is to learn to be independent, but now you don't even let me take the bus. How can I learn to be independent?"

"Is independence so important? Humans are animals that live in groups. There are many people who live by the help of others."

"Cole, do you want me to go with the crowd and live by being a person who depends on others for nothing?"

Cole couldn't help but frowned. "I don't mean that, but you are still young, and you don't need to wade into the torrent of social reality so quickly and worry about your life."

"In my case, it is already very slow and very fortunate to wade into the torrent of social reality now, Cole." Samara shook her head, "If it wasn't for the seven-year-old who miraculously met my'Long-legged Uncle' Maybe I m no longer alive, or I ve suffered for food and clothing, or even embarked on the road of no return to betraying my soul and body."

"I know, but since your destiny has been changed by the miracle of seven years old, you shouldn't look back at the past, or even compare your current self with that non-existent self."

"But I don t exist. Once Uncle Long-legged withdraws the funding for me, I will immediately become the orphan and helpless me, so I must learn to take care of myself before that. This way, I won t live up to the money that Uncle Long-legged has spent on me over the past few years."

"How do you know that your uncle Long-legged will withdraw his support?"

"It's certain, isn't it? I can't ask him to support me for the rest of my life. Even if he wants to, I have no face to accept it."

Looking at Samara with a firm face, Cole suddenly didn't know what to say.

As a funder, he was very pleased with her sensibility. But as a friend, as a neighbor, and as her Cole, he only feels distressed, distressed for her sensibility, distressed for her forcing herself to grow up, distressed for her frustration that she has been accustomed to compromise with fate at a young age.

He really regretted not seeing her sooner. If he could take her to heart and care about her a few years earlier, maybe she would not be as sentimental as she is now.

What should he do to change her deep-rooted thoughts and restore the happiness and worry-free she should be at the age of eighteen?

What should he do to make her forget that she is not alone, even if she has no relatives by her side, and even without the support of Uncle Long-legged, she still has friends, neighbors, and him.

There was a sudden shock in his heart, making his head go blank for an instant.

And him? Why does he think so, and he still thinks so surely, can it be said that he can guarantee that he will be with her for the rest of his life?

Can he? Can he do it?

He looked at her weak, and suddenly he heard an affirmative and firm voice in his heart, telling him that he could, he must be able to do it, because he could not leave her alone, because he could not help but want to take care of her, Protect her, because she had already walked into his heart before he knew it, and she had taken root in his heart.

"Beep! beep!"

The horn of the car induced Samara to stop and turn her head to look around. Fortunately, she didn't see Cole's familiar car. When she retracted her gaze and planned to move on, she heard him calling her name.

"Sam!"

She turned her head again suspiciously, and saw him smiling at her by the side of a RV that she had never seen before.

"Cole, why are you here? I thought we had discussed it, and you had promised me to keep taking the bus to and from school." She walked towards him, then stopped in front of him and frowned at him.

"Get in the car." Cole smiled, with no intention of explaining.

"Cole!"

"Get in the car first." Seeing that she was standing still, he had to pull her into the car, fasten her seat belt, close the door, and then sat in the driver's seat contentedly and drove on the road.

After the car drove on the road, Samara was sulking silently, and turned her side angrily, deliberately sitting with her back to him.

He couldn't help but chuckle, thinking she was so cute.

"Angry?" He asked, but she ignored him completely. "I don't mean to regret it. There is a reason why I will drive to pick you up from get out of class today, because we are going to Hualien to play."

"What? We are going to play in Hualien? Really?" She turned around quickly, opening her eyes in surprise.

"Why, are you willing to talk to me?" He teased her.

"I'm sorry, Cole, but who told you not to make it clear at the beginning." She apologized a little embarrassed, and couldn't help asking again after a meal, "Are we really going to Hualien? Are we going to?"

Cole nodded with a smile.

Samara suppressed the excitement in her heart.

"Why do you suddenly want to go to Hualien? Are we going there for the weekend? But I didn't take anything with me. Are we going to go home and pack up now?"

"Don't go home, let's set off directly."

"Huh? But I didn't bring a change of clothes."

"It's not a problem to buy the clothes."

"But……"

"Only we can leave now to avoid the rush of cars after get off work and weekends. Even later, there may be traffic jams."

"Oh, okay! But Cole, I don't have so much money with me. If I want to buy something, can you lend me first and I will return it to you when I get home." She asked embarrassedly.

"Don't be kidding." He glanced at her, "If I don't even have the money, would I still be eligible to be your Cole?" After speaking, he reached out and rubbed her hair vigorously.

"But……"

"Don't be it, since I brought you out to play, of course I should pay for the cost. Don't worry, this little money is only a fraction of a fraction for me." He said arrogantly.

His exaggerated statement and appearance made Samara couldn't help but laugh.

"Why, don't you believe what I said?"

She shook her head very shamelessly.

"This is really bad, what can I do to make you believe that what I'm telling you is the truth? Can't you ask me to pile all the money in front of you, so that you can see it?" He looked worried.

"This method is good," she said with a smile.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course it's a joke." Seeing his serious look, she shook her head and denied it. "But why do you have to believe that you are rich? I believe it, and you won't give it to me."

"Maybe, as long as you become my wife, isn't my money yours?"

"That makes sense." She smiled and pointed her chin with her index finger. "Then Mr. Cole, would you like to marry Miss Samara?"

Cole gave her a deep look, then nodded seriously, "I do."

"Haha..." Samara couldn't help laughing anymore.

"Well, I know you will be very happy, after all, I am also one of the few bachelors in the world who can be called a diamond, not to mention a rare beautiful man." He boasted solemnly.

His bragging claims made her laugh even more. OMG! So funny, so funny!

"Enough, enough. I know you are happy. You don't have to laugh so hard." He reached out and patted her on the shoulder, pretending to be sympathetic.
