Finally I Got You

“No need for them to accept it, I have left The Barrett family, everything has nothing to do with The Barrett family now, I am who I am, we are together, we don’t need anyone’s consent, as long as I love you and you love me, that’s enough.” Albert said reaching out across the table and taking Merry’s somewhat cold hand and rubbing it in his palm.

“Albert, may I ask how old you are? Don’t you think you’re more childish than your son.” Merry drew back her hand, she did not expect that after ten years, Albert had not changed at all, still as childish as at the beginning.

Was he not The Barrett family simply because he had severed his ties? Yes, he can not return to The Barrett family, but The Barrett family people can find him, just as The Barrett family people found her ten years ago.

Seventeen years old, the age of flowers, who would be stupid enough to go diving? Seventeen years old, who would be willing to die? Would she have gone through all that if that old lady hadn’t asked her out, if she hadn’t cruelly pushed her into the sea?Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

That afternoon ten years ago, she would never forget in her life, the old lady from The Barrett family asked her to meet her, and later took her to the beach and pushed her into the sea when she was defenseless, such a nightmare, she would never forget. There was just no point in bringing it up today, it was in the past.

“Merry, no, I admit that ten years ago I thought too simply and failed to protect you, but today, ten years later, I can definitely protect you, our love, our children.” Albert promised solemnly.

“Is that so? You said the same thing ten years ago? You said that you would protect me, that you would be with me forever, but did you do it? Ten years ago, when I was pushed out of the sea by her, where were you? Ten years ago, when I was swallowed by the cold water, where were you?” Merry’s face was pale, her body trembled uncontrollably, as if she had returned to ten years ago, the cold seawater, which kept pouring into her mouth.

“Push you? Merry, ten years ago is not you jumped into the sea yourself?” Albert looked at Merry and suddenly felt that something did not seem to be what he thought.

“Ten years ago, I was only seventeen years old, what I can’t think of to jump into the sea? You tell me, why did I jump into the sea?” Merry glared at Albert, she couldn’t believe that Albert was so defensive of that old woman from The Barrett family and said that he had broken off his relationship with The Barrett family, which was simply a lie.

“But that day at noon, I went to the restaurant to look for you, you were not there, and that’s when I suddenly received a message from you asking me to meet you at the beach, I was on my way there, you kept sending messages. You said that I lied to you, that I didn’t really love you, and at that time you told me that you didn’t deserve me at all, that you didn’t want to be with me ……” Albert looked at Merry, ten years ago, when he went to meet Merry at the beach, Merry kept sending him messages.

Said a lot of hard, a lot of pessimistic, as if stimulated by something, when he arrived at the beach, far away to see Merry jumped from above into the sea, but no matter how he looked, did not find Merry’s body.

“Noon? Albert, are you sure it was noon?” Merry bit her lip and held back her tears. She was already in the hospital at noon that day, so how could she be at the beach, and the phone – she didn’t even find the phone after she was rescued.

“Of course, I went to look for you after work, there was no way I could be wrong, Merry, I never understood, one day we were fine, the next day, why did you suddenly turn out like that, I never understood why you had to seek short term death?” For the past ten years, Albert has partly blamed himself because of this.

“Hahahahaha …… noon, Albert, you really don’t know anything?” The memory of ten years ago is gnawing at her heart like a strict prohibition, but only today, she realized that all of this, it is so meaningless.

“Merry, don’t get excited, tell me, tell me what really happened?” Albert realized that Merry jumped into the sea ten years ago with another hidden agenda, and hurriedly calmed down.

“It’s all in the past, there’s nothing more to tell.” Seeing Albert looked like he didn’t know anything, Merry picked up a drink from the side, finished it in one gulp, and said as if in aggravation.

“Merry, I need to know what really happened ten years ago?” Albert shook Merry’s hand and said.

“Let’s talk outside.” Merry took a deep breath, since Albert must know, then tell him, so as not to put in the heart, continue to torture themselves.

“Okay, let’s go out.” Albert called over the waiter, settled the bill and left with Merry, the originally planned romantic dinner, just went down the drain.

After the two got into the car, Albert drove, but Merry still didn’t say anything. Finally, Albert drove the car back to the hotel, and Merry both went for a walk outside, and only then did Merry talk about what happened ten years ago.

“Merry, was it really – was it really Grandma who pushed you into the sea? And you didn’t send those text messages?” After listening to what Merry said, Albert was a bit disbelieving, not so much disbelieving, but more like he couldn’t accept it, right?

“That morning, around nine o’clock, your grandmother appeared in front of the fast food restaurant, she had someone call me outside, and then negotiated with me, she asked me how much money I wanted to leave you? I didn’t agree, so she took me to the beach, and if I remember correctly, it must have been less than eleven o’clock at that time.” Merry recalled that although it was a bit far from the restaurant to the beach, two hours was enough. It shouldn’t be later than twelve at the latest.

But when I arrived at the beach, it was already after two o’clock in the afternoon. According to this, the girl who jumped into the sea could not be Merry at all, could ……

Albert didn’t dare to think about it, he couldn’t believe his family would do such a thing. It wasn’t just stopping him from being with Merry anymore, it was murder.

“I got to the beach just as I saw you jumping into the ocean, and when I ran over to you, you were already swept away by the waves.” The two sat on a bench in Central Park and opened their memories from ten years ago.

“It’s impossible, at that time, I should be in the hospital, it’s impossible, that person must not be me.” Merry shook her head, at that time, she should be in the hospital, unconscious, how could she have gone to jump into the sea.

“Maybe I was mistaken, it was a bit far apart, I just ……”

“Albert, if you don’t believe it you can ask righteous father, or even go back and check the hospital records.” Merry interrupted Albert’s words. “But things have passed ten years, even if we find out, so what, do I have to report it? Could I report it? Can I get the police to arrest your grandmother?”

“Merry, if it’s really Grandma, it’s murder, why-” Albert really hated it, but he couldn’t do it, Grandma was in her sixties, did he want her to go to jail at that age?

“It’s murder, Albert, do you support me going back to sue your grandmother?” Merry smiled sweetly and asked Albert with a sideways glance.

“I – she is my grandmother, she did go too far, very despicable, but -”

“But you can’t be righteous, she is your grandmother after all.” Merry took over Albert’s words, and it was for this reason that she didn’t sue her first after being rescued in the first place.

“Merry, is this the reason why you haven’t returned to China in these ten years?” Albert said after a long time of silence.

“Part of it, back then after coming to the United States with Daddy, I told myself that everything in China had nothing to do with me anymore. merry had already died in China, only at that time I didn’t expect to already have baby .” Merry laughed bitterly, her plans were disrupted again because of the child’s existence.

At that time, she had thought about abortion, thought about not having the baby, but she found out a little late, it was already more than three months old, on the one hand, her health was really not good, on the other hand, when she felt the fetal movement for the first time, she was shocked, that kind of motherly love from birth, she couldn’t be ruthless.

“I’m sorry, Merry, I owe you so much in this life, please let me ……”

“Stop, don’t say such things at this time, if you really want to continue further, you must do one thing first, stay with us mother and son in America, can you do that?” Merry said very firmly.

She didn’t want to go back to that heartless and ruthless place, and she didn’t want her son to go back to receive blank stares, so if Albert really wanted to renew his relationship, then he had to come to America with them, just like their mother and son.

“I can do it.” Albert thought for a moment.

He did not care about the status of The Barrett family’s heir, and as for The Barrett family’s millions of dollars, he did not even look at it, just because his mother was still there. He had always hated his mother’s relationship with his father, and if he went to America and brought her there, then all the problems he had always hated would be solved.

“Don’t you answer so affirmatively, what about your family? The ones you gave up? Would they approve? You are the only son of The Barrett family, will they let go?” Merry said with slight sarcasm.

“Merry, I’ll make sure you understand my determination, and besides, I never felt like The Barrett family.” The Barrett family once again gripped Merry’s hand, the only person he cared about was his mother, not to mention that she had left The Barrett family over twenty years ago and had no more ties to The Barrett family.

“When you do that, come back and talk to me.” Merry avoided Albert’s determined look, she had only wanted Albert to back off, and she was sure that the old woman from The Barrett family would never agree. This was just a ploy to get Albert to stop pestering her.

“I’ll do it, Merry, Valentine’s Day is the day after tomorrow, will you spend it with me? After Valentine’s Day, I’ll go back home to take care of these things, and when I come back, you won’t be able to refuse me anymore.” Albert gently tucked Merry’s wind-blown bangs behind her ears with one hand and said tenderly.

“Sorry, I have an appointment on Valentine’s Day, instead of wasting time here, why don’t you go back early and take care of your business?” Merry refused without even thinking about it.

“You mean you have a date with Tony?” Albert was a bit chagrined, he originally had great expectations, but he didn’t expect Merry to refuse without any consideration.

“He’s my fiancé, Valentine’s Day, of course we’re together.” Merry obeyed Albert’s words.
