The Battle

Cedric smiled and drank up the wine, although he felt sad. "I said that I would keep my promise to you. I promised to come."

He then looked at Isabella's pretty face. With a sense of regret, he said, "Isabella, you are so beautiful today."

Isabella looked away to avoid looking straight at him. She said with a smile, "I'm wearing make-up. It took me half a day to prepare. There are eight stylists and makeup artists to work for me. So there must be something different. I've never experienced it before, like a movie star."

"Didn't you star in a movie? Maybe you will become a famous movie star one day."

"Well, to be honest, I'm not so ambitious. I never dream about that. I just wanna lead a common life as a dance teacher. So that I can play with children and cook for my family after work. Such kind of happiness is my goal in life."

Cedric smiled again but looked bleak. "What a comfortable life. Unfortunately, I won't stay with you at that time to share the comfort and joy."
