Chapter 58
It was already the season for osmanthus, and the leaves were everywhere when the wind blew,
Josie pushed the door gently and entered the room.
Obviously, somone had been cleaning this house..
Josie nced at Samuel. “It’ste. Tonight… we might need to stay here. Do you mind?”
Samuel shook his head.
He did not mind.
“This is my dad’s room.” The house was small but cozy. Josie took Samuel to have a look around and
asked him to stay in her parents’ room.
“This is my room. Josie pushed open the door of a bedroom, and the sound of wind chimes could be
heard clearly.
It was a wind chime made by Josie from seashells. Everything was still there, but the people had
changed.
Samuel didn’t say anything. Although the room was small, it was warm and cozy.
He could even sense what a good life Josie had had before she turned 15.
From a little princess who was loved by her parents to a girl who watched her parents die in front of
her. Not just anyone could bear such pain and huge changes in their lives.
Samuel felt sorry for Josie. He wanted tofort her, but he wasn’t anyone to her.
After cleaning up the room, Josie was a little embarrassed. After all, the seaside was damp. Even if
someone had been cleaning it, the bedding was still very damp.
The flowers and nts are a little dry. I’ll clean the yard and war
it for you.” Samuel was afraid that Josie would feel embarrassed to be with him alone, so he went to
the courtyard to water the flowers.
Josie nced at Samuel and walked out of the house.
“Jo” An old man passed by the door and looked at Josie in surprise.
Josie was stunned as well. “Hello, Mr. Capaldi!”
“It’s really you, Jo! You’re a big girl now.” He was old, and he felt a sense of familiarity when he saw the
kid he used to like a lot back then.
The old man stepped forward excitedly, holding Josie’s hand. “Time flies. You’re all grown up now.”
Josie’s eyes were also a little wet as she said, “Yes, I haven’t seen you in ten years, Mr. Capaldi!”
Cyrus nodded. It had indeed been ten years. “This young man is not bad. Is he nice to you?”
Cyrus nced at Samuel, who was working in the yard.
Josie thought that Cyrus had misunderstood, but there was no need to exin. She said, “Yeah, he’s
nice.”
“The young man is very nice, but I haven’t seen him for three years. He used toe here every year
and say that he was your friend. He
came back to have a look around here for you and left me a sum of money to take care of the yard
regrly. I said that he was giving me too much, but he didn’t listen.”
Cyrus had a good memory, which made him proud.

Josie was stunned. She looked at Cyrus and asked in a quavering voice, “Mr. Capaldi, are you
remembering correctly? Hes. been here before?”
Samuel had been to my house?” she wondered.
Yes, of course. I have a good memory. He used toe here a lot three years ago. Thest time he
came, he was injured, and there were bruises on his nose. I still remember that he told me he wouldn’t
being for three years, I was worried about him at the time.”
Josie couldn’t recover from the shock for a long time. “No wonder Samuel is so familiar with my
hometown,” she thought.
“Jo, you are blessed. Your mother is also blessed because your father loves your mother. You have to
find a man who loves you too, I think this young man here is fine.” Cyrus smiled and felt relieved to see
Josie happy,
Have you had dinner yet? Bring him over in
my ce. Sally has made some bread, which is your favorite
Josie’s eyes were teary as she stood there smiling.
When she was a child, she would often sneak into Cyrus’ house to eat with them.
Cyrus had no children. Despite that, the couple lived happily, and he was considerate of his wife.
They liked Josie and even treated her as their own granddaughter.
After exchanging a few words, Cyrus told Josie to quickly head over for a meal.
Josie nodded, as there was nothing at home. She could stand being hungry, but not Samuel.
Hiding behind the door, Josie watched as Samuel watered the nts and swept the floor.
As a rich young man, although he was a little clumsy, he was serious when doing chores.
Samuel often came here three years ago.
As Henry said, Samuel had been scheming against her since a long time ago.
Josie smiled helplessly, mocking herself for being an idiot. Maybe it was because Samuel was too
discreet that she didn’t.

The afterglow of the sunset was gradually covered by the night sky. Josie looked at the figure who was
watering the flowers, and in her trance, she thought she saw her own father.
Back then, her father would water the flowers so that freshly cut flowers could be ced in the living
room and her mother’s dance studio.
Life was hard, but it was happy and fulfilling.
The happiest thing for a woman was not how much money she had and how long she lived.
It was to meet a man who could treat her like a treasure in her life.
“Samuel, Mr. Capaldi said to head o
to his house and have bread.”
Samuel was stunned for a moment. He tried to avoid her gaze. “Uh… Let’s not. It’s quite troublesome.
He was afraid that Cyrus would recognize him.
However, upon deliberation, he reckoned Cyrus might not be able to recognize him, as it had beenThis text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.
three years.
Older people usually had bad memories.

Samuel nodded and watched Josie run out of the door.
He wanted to tell her to be careful of the steps.
Josie walked on the road, her heart beating strangely,
She had agreed toe with Samuel because she had wanted him to give up.
Upon entering Cyrus’ house, Josie put the flowers in Sally’s porcin vase, just as she did ten years
ago. “Mrs. Capaldi, it’s me, Jo
Sally’s eyes were already red. Her legs and feet were not in the best condition, but she got up and held
Josie’s hand tightly. She was at a loss for words.
Back then, they had treated her parents as their own children.
Josie reckoned they must have been very sad when her parents died.
Jo, you’re here. Have a seat.” Cyrus put the bread on the table. ‘It smells the same. Sally has good
skills.”
Josie’s eyes were teary as she grinned at them.
“Where is that young man?” Cyrus asked.
“Mr. Capaldi, he’s shy, and he’s scared that you remember him. He came here in secret without my
knowledge. Please pretend that you don’t know him.”
Cyrus understood. “All right, all right. You young people like that feeling of surprise.”
Josie smiled and said nothing-
She held the oatmeal prepared by Sally and couldn’t say a

word. She felt empty inside.
Samuel struggled for a long time before finally heading over. At Cyrus’ warm wee, he heaved a
sigh of relief.
“Try it.” Josie gave Samuel a steamed pudding.
Samuel smiled and took a bite. “It smells so good.”
“It’s delicious, right? Doe here often!” Cyrus looked d. He was indeed thrilled today.
“Mr. Capaldi, don’t worry. We wille back often, Samuel agreed in advance for Josie.
Josie also smiled and nodded. “I’lle back to see you more often.”
She had been avoiding this ce for ten years.
She
was afraid that she would be triggered by the memories.
Now, she finally understood.
One could not always live in the past. She had to slowly walk out of her trauma.
Just like the marriage between her and Henry, since she had divorced him and decided to give up, she
had topletely let
him go.
After dinner, Josie followed Samuel and left.

Before leaving, Cyrus and Sally gave them a lot of local specialties.
Samuel Josie was curious, so she asked. “How long have you liked me?”
Samuel froze in his tracks and said casually, “Ten years,”
He had loved Josie for as long as Josie had loved Henry.
Jode on had Henry in her heart, while Samuel only had Josie in his heart.
