After Mr. Bradford finished speaking, Anna was shocked for a moment, then shook her head reassuringly, “Mr. Bradford, you don’t need to blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you. Even if it wasn’t Rachel, it would have been someone else.”
Gabriel’s heart was too big, able to hold both her and others at the same time, it was because his love was not pure enough, not lasting enough.
“You’re not mad at me, that’s good. From now on, don’t call me Mr. Bradford, call me Kristian Bradford, Mr. Bradford said lightly. “I’m not going to be a lawyer, I’ve decided to join you in charity work. From now on, I’ll be your sidekick.
“You don’t have to do this, I’m fine now, Anna declined.”
“I know you are very good, I just want to learn from you and also contribute. Mr. Bradford pretended not to understand her refusal, smiled, took the textbook from her hand, and continued teaching the children.”
Mr. Bradford settled down in the village and spent most of his time each day helping with construction and teaching the children.
He took care of Anna meticulously, always anticipating what she wanted and needed. While trying to maintain a safe distance from her, he gave her all his love.
The people in the village could all see that he liked her.
Alina also often urged her to accept him.

Anna was feeling a bit troubled.
That day, as the sun set in the west, Anna climbed up to the platform to watch the sunset.
Mr. Bradford followed up at some point and handed Anna a peeled apple.
“Taste it, it’s very sweet.”
“Thank you, Anna took the apple but didn’t eat it. Instead, she looked at the sky in the distance, which was dyed red.”
“Kristian, were you really happy staying here? she asked softly.”
“Okay, Mr. Bradford nodded, “I am happy wherever you are.

“I knew your intentions, but I will not love again, nor do I have the strength to love again. Don’t waste your time feeling guilty with me. She handed the apple back to him, “I found a worm in the apple I ate a few days ago, I won’t be eating them anymore.
“Anna, a lifetime is long, I believe you will eventually move on, will believe in love again. It’s okay if you don’t eat apples, there are other fruits. Mr. Bradford insisted, not out of guilt, but because he truly liked Anna.”
I liked her from the first moment I saw her five years ago.
He deliberately went to the Mitchell Group to work as a lawyer, trying everything possible to rely on her.
No matter how long, he would wait.
Even if he stayed by her side as a friend for the rest of his life, as long as he saw her well, he was satisfied.

The sun had set, the evening glow was engulfed by darkness, Anna didn’t speak anymore, she quietly got up and left.
Forget it, if I can’t persuade him, then I won’t. He will come to his senses sooner or later.
At the same time, Gabriel never gave up searching for Anna.
Every time we found a clue and looked into the past, we would discover that Anna had bought tickets from various places.
She was deliberately avoiding him.
Gabriel became increasingly anxious, and his temper became more and more irritable. Several times during negotiations, he lost his temper with his partners, resulting in losses of several billion.
The company shareholders united in protest, demanding the
replacement of the executive director, and for Gabriel himself to bear the losses.
The shareholders gathered together and blocked Gabriel at the office door.
“Mr. Hayes, we do not acknowledge the company’s sudden loss.”
“If your personal emotions are affecting your work, you may consider temporarily stepping aside.”
“The company does not belong to you alone, you also need to consider our interests. We have already told Madam Hayes that if you persist in your ways, we will sell our shares and withdraw our investment.”
Faced with their threats, Gabriel showed no reaction at all, completely ignoring them
