All Chapters of Never End: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The Street Where the Wind Resides.The wind did not remain nor reside here; the wind was just a passerby. When we were young, the wind blew away the time we spent together. He left like the windy breeze, but I remained even when the wind had already left.I waited in the same spot for nine years. The memory of our teenage years and the love I held on to felt like a joke today.I loved the wrong person. My whole life felt like a joke.The familiar melody rang in my ears, lingering and looping endlessly in my dreams and memories. I sighed, standing up from my seat.The piano melody abruptly stopped after I stood up. The pianist gazed at me across the vast audience. There was a glimpse of pity shining within his clear eyes, the same as what Dixon had told me earlier.I calmly smiled back at him. Summer and Loraine, who were seated at the front, followed his gaze, turning their backs in confusion.When Summer noticed me, she hurriedly came to my side.I remained calm as I looked to

I did not have a choice but to give Loraine a ride home to Gregg villa.I did not drive too close, and so I stopped my car about 200 meters away from Gregg villa to drop Loraine off. Loraine got down and reluctantly waved goodbye to us with a pouty expression. I smiled and waved back.She sighed and said, “Bye brother.”Lance faintly replied to her with a hum.Lorraine looked at him and then me, with unwillingness in her eyes.I could understand her unwillingness.After all, there were only two of us in the car…In her eyes, I was as posed as a threat.It was so easy to read a young lady’s mind.I grinned and said, “Raine, goodbye.”I fired up the engine and left towards Lance’s place. I did not particularly ask for his address, as I still have a vague memory of the location from the previous time.In the car, it was awfully quiet as there were only the two of us. Through the rearview mirror, I could see that he was staring at me so I pulled back my gaze. I tried to cover up

There was finally an answer to my long wait for love.My heart was terribly messed when he finally gave me the salvation I needed, but I was no longer brave to have embraced it.Yes, I was brave enough to do so!The man standing right in front of me at this moment had clear eyes that could see right through me and read my mind easily. He had always known that I always liked him.In my deepest memory, I will never forget his words, “Why must you follow me?”“Because...I have feelings for you.”It was only because I liked him.Here he was standing right in front of me, asking me, “Are you willing to date me?”I would love to, I had always longed to be with him.My thoughts never faltered even once, since nine years ago.However, now it was just too late.My initial goal of returning to Wu City was not to be with him, but only to find him…I wanted to find the figure I thought I loved.I lowered my eyes and asked, “Do you like me?”He probably did not expect this question fr

After all, he had mentioned that I was pitiful before.Well if he had said I was pitiful, let it be then.At least it was some kind of feeling.However, I could never have accepted this kind of feeling.Our walk was quiet and long. There was finally no need for me to follow his back, or chase his steps. I pursed my lips slightly, and it was difficult to speak but I spoke anyway. “We do not have a future together.”Having heard that, his grip tightened, he turned and looked at me with a deepened gaze. He then gently caressed my head with the other hand and reassured me. “I understand your worries, but if you are willing to be with me, I will solve those troubles you face.”I wanted to rub against his palm, but I resisted.“Those are some issues that you can’t solve.”“Trust me, Caroline.”His voice sounded determined.This was the first time he said my name.“Lance, I no longer have feelings for you.”I rejected him by telling him that.In the end, he did not say anything

My remaining days were limited so I refused to live while being drowned in resentment. If he did not pull-off his dirty tricks toward the Cook family to pressure me to return, then proceeded to attack Shaw Corporations while I was in power, I would not have even considered returning to Wu City.It was already troublesome and complicated for me to return to my role, which was such a waste of time. He even dared to demand me to get back with him, for the sake of torturing each other?!Did I look like I was out of my mind?I was amused by his nonsense and I sarcastically replied, “You are so attached to me, it feels really unlike you. You are misleading me with your actions because you seem like you did not forget about me at all!”His expression darkened. I put my hand over his shoulder, patted him and reminded him, “You said you loved me before you had amnesia. Don’t tell me you could forget all our history but still remember loving me? Haha, you really think I’d believe your story?

“Was it true about what you’ve just said?”He asked a question that I could not comprehend.I asked with a confused expression, “What?”He spoke with a low tone in an attempt to remind me, “Just now, when you told Lance that you no longer had feelings for him, was it true?”I said, “I already answered that question just now.”Surprisingly, he was not angry at my reply. “I hope you will tell me...I hoped those words were real.”I was speechless. We were fighting a while ago, but we were talking calmly now. Truthfully, I understood that he was compromising between us.Dixon was trying to control his temper towards me.He took the keys away from my hand and went to the driver’s seat. “I’ll send you home”I wanted to reject the offer, but I knew I was not in the right condition to drive, so I just tolerated and remained silent. It was late at night when I finally reached home. Dixon drove my car into the garage and carried me into Shaw villa with a familiar posture without ask

Dixon was having quite a manageable temper today, no matter what sarcastic comments I made, he demonstrated a very tolerant behavior.Say for example, when I was being obviously sarcastic to him, he just startled and asked, "Do you want me to help you look for a top-notch doctor within or out of the country?"Me, "..."I remained silent, and he became quiet when he saw me being so cold.Not long later, he left. He did not stay on shamelessly. I got up and went to the window. Through the glass I saw Dixon standing under the street light in front of the entrance of the villa. The streetlight extended his shadow, making him seem so lonely and sorrowful.Why did Dixon give me a sorrowful feeling?Lowering my forehead as I looked through the window, staring at the man downstairs, I was not too sure of my feelings, even unsure why I would have rejected Lance.It was very obvious that I fancied him but in the end I could not have helped but to reject him and the reason I rejected him

Besides, having been in that state, I had no rights to fall in love with anyone. I did not reply to Loraine's message. I was having insomnia until after midnight when it started pouring in Wu city. This city was always in a wet state and had never been dry before, making everyone depressed.But I preferred this place.It was where my parents were from, the origin of the Shaw family.It was almost 4am in the morning, which was when I was able to fall asleep, which made me feel dizzy when I woke up the next morning.It was tough for me to get up and have my medication, and again to put on a golden hollow one-piece dress with a lot of effort.Summer once told me that I would always live my life as if I was walking on a red carpet.She even questioned me, "Carol, aren't you tired being like this?"I am tired, but I was used to exquisiteness.These three years I have lived my life being extremely exquisite just to get on Dixon's good side.When I removed my make-up, I realized th

Joseph really was a guy who took me by surprise.I never thought I would have been able to meet him on such an occasion.'Joseph…was he part of the Connor family?'Joseph gently nodded his head and asked, "This time we, the Connor family, would want the contract, will President Shaw give way for us?"Joseph used this name, making the speech slightly unbalanced, as if this contract was very important to him.I leaned over and asked Wendy out of curiosity, "You guys suddenly breached the contract, now why choose to discuss with the Shaw Corporations again?"Before Wendy could say anything, Jennifer interrupted, "It was obviously your assistant who invited us first."I gazed at my sight diagonally, feeling that this lady was too noisy. Don't she know how to behave despite being an adult?Or could it be that she was trying to pick a fight because she failed to disdain me earlier.With a cold tone, I said, "But the Yale family agreed, for what reason did you guys agree?"Jennifer

"Caroline, aren't you being a little too self-righteous?"Jennifer panicked. I was surprised as well, for all the years I had been in the business field, I had never once encountered such a weird situation.I had never even been in situations where a company would have just breached their contract whenever they wanted to without giving an appropriate explanation.It was as if they thought that our intelligence quotient level was so low that they could do whatever they liked.I ignored Jennifer, to be precise, I thought it was not worth bothering about her as I only fixed my gaze on Wendy and said, "The Shaw Corporations of the Wu City, the Folk's from the Tong City and the Cook family from S City, no matter which city you guys planned to expand your business, if you don’t have my approval, don't even think the Yale family can expand their business in any of these cities! Even if Gregg's help you out…Dixon Gregg is a businessman, he knows that being time-savvy is the best thing to d
