There were lanterns hanging at intervals along the corridor of the teahouse. At the end of the corridor was an octagonal pavilion. Beside the pavilion was a pond where koi fish swam freely.
She entered the pavilion and saw a woman sitting in the corner of the pavilion. She was wearing a short–sleeved knitted shirt and a plain skirt that reached her feet. Her hair was tied up high.
She looked surprised. “It’s you?”
This woman was the lady boss of the Southshore Resort wooden book house.
Because she looked like a woman from the Republic of China era and had the gentleness of a Jiangnan woman, Elaine had a deep impression of her.
Laurie was stunned for a moment. He sized her up and suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was the first guest of her bookstore. He stood up and smiled gently. “What a coincidence. My name is Laurie. You can call me Laurie.““My name is Elaine.” She smiled.
The two of them sat down on a bench in the pavilion. Elaine asked, “Laurie alone?”

The corners of Laurie’s lips curled up slightly. There was always a faint smile on his face as he revealed a gentle expression. “I’m here to see an elder, but he has a guest now, so I came to sit here.”
Elaine leaned over the railing and looked at the cool green water in the pool. “The resort is open for business. Is the book house doing well?”
Laurie smiled faintly and said gracefully, “I’ve never cared about business. I just want some peace and quiet.”
She said jokingly, “Why does it sound like you’re living in seclusion?“Laurie turned his head to look at her. His dark eyes were as calm as water. “Is it bad?”
Elaine held onto the railing and stood up. He walked around the pavilion casually and said in a relaxed tone, “It’s good, but it’s too lonely.”
Laurie smiled and did not say anything else. He looked into the distance with a miserable expression.
The two of them chatted for a while more before a waiter in traditional clothes walked over. “Ms. Valentine, Mr. Mason is waiting for you in the front hall.”
Elaine nodded and smiled. He looked at Laurie. “Laurie, I had a good chat with you today. I’m leaving. Goodbye.”

Although it was only their second meeting, Laurie had a good impression of her. “Goodbye.“When they arrived at the lobby of the teahouse, Jackson sat in a booth with his legs crossed. He had a cigarette between his fingers, but he didn’t light it. He just played with it in his hand. When he saw her coming, he stood up and said, “Let’s go.”
The two of them left the teahouse and got into the car. Elaine did not beat around the bush and asked directly, “Have you investigated me?”
Otherwise, how would he know that she knew how to make tea?
Jackson’s expression did not change. There was a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth. “Do you think I would keep an unknown woman by my side?”
The two of them used to have that kind of relationship, so it was understandable for him to investigate her.
Jackson opened the car window, lit a cigarette, and took a puff. He placed the hand holding the cigarette on the car window and said with a deep gaze, “Elbert is in a good mood today. It’s all thanks to you. Thank you. “Elaine was flattered by his thanks. Even Cyrus, who was sitting in the front seat, found it unbelievable.
“A verbal thank you is too insincere.” It was not that she was arrogant, but it was too rare to hear a “thank you” from Jackson.
Jackson turned his head to look at her. His cold lips curled into a faint

Laurie entered the private room and sat down opposite Elbert. Elbert looked at her and said, “Are you planning to avoid Mason family from now on?”
She pursed her lips and said nothing.Elbert picked up the tea beside him and tasted it carefully. “Jackson asked me to advise you to go back.”
Laurie lowered his eyes slightly and looked sad. “You should know that I can’t get over the hurdle in my heart.”

Elbert sighed softly. “Wen Qing, it’s been almost ten years. Let bygones be bygones. Don’t be stubborn. Mason family is still your home. Take the time to go back.”
At the mention of the past, her body could not help but tremble slightly and she did not speak for a long time.
