Chapter 5 Remind What

“Sadie, are you alright?” A colleague’s voice came, not only shocking Sadie but also startling Libby and

Otto, who were standing by the car with their fingers intertwined.

They turned their head at the mention of Sadie’s name and their expressions changed with lightening-

speed as they saw her standing there.

Otto quickly shrugged off Libby’s hand and calmly walked away from her towards Sadie.

Libby couldn’t dare to say anything. She only stared at his retreating back in cold resentment. His

words were really not to be trusted. He kept saying that the person he loved the most was Libby, but

the second he saw Sadie, he forgot everything else and ran to her.

Otto stopped in front of Sadie, leaned over and hugged her tightly. He laughed lightly in her ear, “Your

sister said you’d be here, so I came over to see you.”

“Really…?” Sadie stood still, letting herself be hugged tightly. Her eyes fell on Libby, standing not far

away in the background.

Sadie’s expressions were clear without any guilty conscience. She looked the same as usual, as if

holding hands with Otto had no other meaning. Was she really just thinking too much?

Libby had known Otto since before Sadie and their friendship was similar to that of two close guy

friends, usually there’s no hand holding or close physical touch involved. However, they both looked so

calm and nonchalant that she couldn’t suspect Otto of cheating or suspect Libby of stealing her

boyfriend.

“Little idiot.” Otto wrinkled his nose smilingly and nodded gently as he looked at her, a little guilt

sweeping through his eyes. His hand reached his trouser pocket and he pulled out a delicate looking

jewelry box, placing it in Sadie’s palm. “Happy birthday, my future wife.”

Sadie blushed as her heartbeat escalated, “How come…”

She wanted to ask him how come he came to find her here especially, but Otto interrupted her in a

gentle voice, still smiling, “This time I will be gone for a long time, I hate being away from you.”

Sadie’s earlobes became red as her face heated up.

He called her “future wife” … He had never called her that before.

“I have to go now. Take care of yourself and wait for me to come back, okay? And miss me every day.”

Otto patted her on the top of her head. Then he lowered his head and placed a kiss on her forehead

before turning away and leaving.

Sadie clutched the little box in her hand tightly, as if her whole body full of fire. She watched him get

into his car and drive away.

“He deliberately came to the orphanage to pick me up just so I could help him find you.” Libby snorted

mockingly; her eyes were glued to the box in Sadie’s hand. She tore her eyes away from it with some

difficulty.

That was supposed to be a gift for her, not Sadie’s!

“Thanks Libby!” Sadie thanked her with a sweet smile on her face, putting the box carefully into her

bag. She couldn’t notice Libby’s extremely ugly expressions.

“I am going to meet my friends now.” Libby said and strode away, her tone strangely angry.

Sadie continued to smile blankly for a while, then she turned to look at Libby walk away.

Libby was walking fast, as if in a hurry; she walked exactly like that when she was angry. The sweet

feeling dissipated and the seeds of doubt grew roots in Sadie’s heart.

Libby’s anger seemed to be directed at her. Thinking again of the scene from a while ago; Otto and

Libby standing close and holding hands with their fingers intertwined. Sadie frowned.

She had met Otto for the first time a little unexpectedly. She was in the third year of junior high school

and was being bullied by her classmates against the wall at the back gate of her school. They beat her

and warned her that she was not allowed to place first in the exam.

Otto who was already a first-year university student, got out of his car with Libby who was in her first

year in high school to help her. He did not only rescue her then, but also somehow forced the girls to

apologize to Sadie.

After getting acquainted, Otto began to pursue her. He never cared about the scar on her face, nor

allowed anyone else to discuss Sadie’s appearance. Because of his protection, Sadie was never

bullied in the entirety of her time in high school.

At the end of college entrance exam, she finally agreed to be his girlfriend. It was less than half a year

ago. If something was going to happen between Libby and Otto, it would have already happened

before that…

Across the street, a Rolls Royce that had been parked in the parking space for a long time, finally drove

away slowly. Inside, Khalid scratched his nose awkwardly, not daring to look at Julian’s face.

Someone who was assumed dead for years appeared in front of Julian alive. It should have been a

happy occasion, but sadly that someone turned out to be someone else’s girlfriend.

Inside the car, silence was mixed with the despair and made the car feel colder somehow.

Julian leaned back in his seat, his slender hands covering his face and his lips pursed into a tight line.

His wife fell in love with another man and allowed him to hug and kiss her. Thinking about the scene

just now, his eyes that usually twinkled with the light of a thousand stars, sank in shadows for some

reason.

“Master, shall we go to the company or ZSB Garden?” Khalid asked with low voice.

Julian didn’t answer. After a while, he slowly pulled his hands off his face and sat up thoughtfully.

No matter who she was now, for him, she’d always be the girl with bright shining eyes. In his eyes

she’d always be the Sadie who liked to pull the corners of her shirt and cleverly trying to look all cute so

he would hug her when she was little.

His memories were correct, and she was the same person.

The unfamiliar feeling was temporary, she will remember who he was sooner or later.

“Should I remind Lady Sadie?” Khalid sighed subconsciously when he saw Julian didn’t respond.

Although his voice was very low, Julian clearly heard it.

“Remind what?” Julian drank the water leisurely, his eyebrows knitting together vaguely

The game had just begun. There was no fun in announcing the answer in a hurry.

His thin lips tightened as he took out his phone, looking through the photo gallery. When he spoke his

tone was light, “How are the wedding preparations going?”

“Everything is going smoothly.” Khalid turned his head and added tentatively, “Master, should I go over

there to remind?”

Julian raised his eyes lightly to look up. His eyes exuded a cold icy light staring straight into Khalid’s.

Realizing that he had said something wrong, Khalid immediately went quiet.

Sadie finished her part-time job, went back to the wedding dress store to change her clothes and then

took a bus directly back to campus.

Monday’s classes were very important and she couldn’t afford to be absent.

She managed to slip in right before the dormitory building closed, as expected she was scolded by the

dormitory keeper. She smiled to herself and quickly went upstairs, holding her bag like a baby.

She had no deeper impression of her birthday and always thought of it as just a day written on her ID

card.

It was an unexpected surprise to receive a gift, especially because it was from Otto. Actually, he gave

her a gift every year, but this year she wasn’t just a friend she was his girlfriend.

Otto was the eldest grandson of the Newman family in City B and just graduated from university last

year. It was expected that he was going abroad for Master’s in Finance at the end of this year. This

went to show that he was good enough even without his looks and background.

The girls who wanted him to be theirs could line up for miles in the city. Not only she was just an

ordinary girl, but she was probably also the ugliest out of all.

But he still liked her. Every time she saw him smile; the feeling of happiness began to overflow in her

heart.

She entered her room with a very happy smile on her face; her roommate was already asleep.

Sadie pulled out her tongue, making a silly face to tease her in her sleeping roommate as she lightly

climbed on her bed and covered herself in her summer blanket. She turned on her phone flash and

opened the jewelry box carefully.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

There was a delicate platinum necklace.

Otto once said that her skin was really white and her neck looked especially beautiful. If she wanted to

wear jewelry, platinum was going to suit her the best. It would make her look like a princess…

Frowning softly, she carefully put it away, turned off the flash and laid down quietly.

She had no dream that night. She woke up a little before 6 the next morning; went to wash up and put

on her work out clothes before going for a morning run.

After a lap, she found that there were a lot of people running around her, especially girls with beautiful

long legs that they made sure to display.

Sadie took off her headphones, ran up to a classmate and asked in a low voice that what was going on.

“You don’t know? Aren’t you here for that too?” The classmate gave her a sideways glance and

sneered, “But again, even if you knew, you wouldn’t have a chance to be fancied anyway.”
