Chapter 127: Soulmate

Smack!

In a London Hilton Garden Inn hotel room, Taylor angrily threw her phone to the floor.

Mrs. Andrea's eyes widened as she witnessed this and quickly went to comfort her daughter, putting her arms around Taylor's shoulders.

"Honey, it's okay. Don't be sad. As women, we often encounter a few bad men in our lives. Now that you've met one, it's like overcoming a major hurdle. You'll become more mature in relationships in the future. This is a good thing. You don't need to be sad. The weather in London is nice today. How about we go shopping?" Mrs. Andrea tried to lighten the mood with a smile.

Taylor wiped away her tears and gave her mother a look. "Don't say that, okay? Link isn't a bad man."

"Isn't he?" Mrs. Andrea looked at Taylor, not quite understanding her thoughts. "He dumped you over a phone call and found a new love interest less than a week after breaking up with you. Isn't that a bad man?"

Taylor sighed softly and lay back on the sofa, her wet eyelashes fluttering.

"Mom, you once said that Link is a man with a lot of energy. You were right. Link's energy is very strong. When we were together, he... he was like a tireless beast, very, very fierce. Every time I was with him... that feeling was so wonderful."

Taylor bit her lower lip, her ears and cheeks gradually turning red.

Mrs. Andrea felt a bit awkward listening to this. "Be careful. You're a lady. Don't talk about this kind of thing with others, not even me."

Taylor continued, "He's full of energy and needs a woman by his side. But I have too much work and no time to accompany him. I've only gone back once in these past few months. I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a girlfriend. This is my fault, and I don't blame him.

Also, he's different from me. I have you, Dad, and my brothers by my side. He's alone at home, so he needs a woman who can always be there for him, and I can't do that. So he wants to break up with me, and I completely understand and don't blame him."

Mrs. Andrea looked at her daughter, stroked her long hair, and said with relief, "You can understand him and see your own shortcomings. This shows that you've really grown up. I'm proud of you."

Taylor shook her head and buried her face in her mother's lap, groaning sadly.

"But I still don't want to break up with him."

"Why? You have work to do and can't be with him all the time. He needs a woman. This means you're not suitable for each other. Continuing the relationship won't benefit either of you," Mrs. Andrea said gently.

"I don't want to!" Taylor exclaimed. "Link is a wonderful man. He's so strong, handsome, and talented. But when he comes home, he cooks for me, gives me massages, listens to me talk about my daily troubles, plays guitar and piano with me, talks about music, and we create together.

He's not only the best partner in my life and physically, but also the best partner for my soul.

He can satisfy all my needs in a man, even more perfect than the life partner I've ever dreamed of. A man like him, Mom, have you ever met one? How many men like him do you think there are in the world?"

Mrs. Andrea was a bit surprised. She knew Link was an outstanding young man, but she didn't expect him to be so outstanding in Taylor's eyes, a perfect man.

Mrs. Andrea didn't believe there were perfect people in the world. Everyone has flaws, and Link wouldn't be an exception. Taylor saw him as too perfect, which only meant she didn't know him well enough.

Mrs. Andrea said, "Taylor, there are many good men in the world. As long as you love him, he is perfect. Just like your father, he has many bad habits, but in my eyes, he is also a perfect man."

"It's not the same at all. Dad goes to work and comes home, reads the newspaper, sleeps, and is extremely boring. The reason you think he's good is because of your tolerance. But Link is the kind of man who doesn't need tolerance, he's perfect in himself. I don't think there are many men like that in the world. Now that I've finally found one, I won't let him go easily."

Taylor clenched her fists and said.

Mrs. Andrea was helpless. "Then what do you say? You can't become two people, one to pursue your dreams and one to stay by his side."

Taylor thought for a while but couldn't come up with a good solution. She kicked the sofa in frustration, sending a pillow flying.

"I don't care. Even if there's no way, I won't let go. Link has to be my boyfriend."

Mrs. Andrea sighed helplessly, feeling a bit regretful.

She shouldn't have taken Taylor to the music festival in Miami, nor should she have let her run around on the beach. If she hadn't met Link, she wouldn't have this trouble now.

"Mom, tell Scott to speed up the tour. I want to go back early. Those bitches won't steal Link from me."

Taylor straightened her long hair and stood up, her attitude firm.

While Taylor was on tour in Europe, Link also held several concerts and over a dozen album signing events in San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas, and other cities.

He sold over 80,000 records, signing an average of over 10,000 autographs per day. This hand speed not only amazed the media but also the fans.

Some mischievous people, who weren't even his fans, deliberately came to buy his albums and get his autograph, just to see how many albums he could sign in a day and test his limits.

This led to his signing events being packed, with half the people buying albums and the other half watching the spectacle.

Link signed autographs until his wrists ached every day. Fortunately, he had a strong recovery ability. After a good night's sleep, all symptoms disappeared, and he could be fully revived the next day to continue signing.

Moreover, he became more and more proficient, and his speed increased.

With the tireless efforts of him and his fans, he sold 327,000 copies in the second week nationwide, surpassing Taylor and Britney in weekly sales on the Billboard 200 chart, only 41,000 copies behind Kanye West, who was in first place.

"Unstoppable" also topped the singles chart for the second week, "Chasing the Sun" moved up one spot to fifth, and "Fire" ranked seventh.

Among the seven songs that entered the Billboard Hot 100, "Never Say Never" had the biggest change in position, jumping from 97th in the first week to 19th in the second week, making it one of the songs with the biggest jump in position on the Billboard chart.

Album sales were booming.

Distributors from all over called, asking Link to hold concerts and signing events in their areas, offering high prices.

Link could only muster his energy and try to visit as many cities as possible within the limited time to sell more records.

Each deluxe edition was priced at $32, and the regular edition at $18. Link and Link Music could get 45-60% royalties, which meant they could earn more than ten dollars per album, like picking up money.

There were also concerts. Depending on the scale of the concert, the appearance fee ranged from $500,000 to $2 million per show, which was comparable to the income from boxing matches.

In just two weeks, his account balance increased by $3.5 million.
