THE LONG LOST LOVE (T3L) - Chapter 70：Long Lost Love

“No. I refuse to choose that option. If you want an albino phyton, then I’ll bring it to you.” She said firmly.

While Ralph, Zack, and Ali just nod their head. Aurora just stays at the side of the room when she hears about the explanation. She keeps silent to not disrupt their discussion.

“So, anything else that I need to bring back other than the blood?” She asks again, her voice soften.

“Urm, if you don’t mind..you can bring us a snack or some souvenir from the Borneo.” Zack tries to light up the atmosphere.

“Hee..sure.” she smiles.

“Oh, Aur. I need to meet daddy. Do you want to follow me or stay here?” Athena turns to look at her sister who looks a bit distracted.

“Huh?” she diverts her eyes to Athena.

Athena lift up her eyebrow a bit. “Are you okay?”

“Eh, yeah..let’s go. I wanna go home too.” Aurora said and tug her hand on Athena’s arm.

“Okay.”

..

In the car, Aurora still silent. It’s not like her to be silent like this unless there is something bothering her.

Lately, they both are like splitting their personality. While Aurora who looks childish and cheerful suddenly become a quiet person and more calmness in everything she does, Athena who was an aloof and a bit quiet become more open and quite friendly with the group of in her circle.

“What happen Aur? You look distracted.” Athena started.

“Hm..i don’t know. But these few days I feel a bit lonely, even though we all have been gathered in our mansion. But I feel something is missing.”

“I think..it’s not only you who feel that way. Me too feel the same things. But, in order to find a better way to my future I ready at any cost.” She caresses her sister’s shoulder. Trying to give some courageous in her.

“Yeah. at least, you got your happy ending. I am happy for you Athena. But, take my advice. beware with that Jye Yin. She’s not a woman you can be friend with” she smiles to her sister.

“I know. Zoro will reveal the truth to me supposedly today.”

“Erm..did she really pregnant with Aslan child?”

“The result shows its a match. but I have a doubt.”

“You really trust your husband that much huh?” Aurora feels a bit jealous toward her sister. Why she can still accept a man who let another woman bear his child stay by her side. Not like her, she was so furious that day. she even gets a divorce because of what Yin Li do that day. Even so, her heart still sticks with that guy. she can’t even get rid of him from her heart.

“I trust him. A lot. Maybe because I used not to trust him when we were a child, and we separate for a very long time. so I decide to trust him this time and just put the unnecessaries things behind. You should try it too. Maybe it can help.” Athena knows what Aurora means. it may seem like she is a stupid woman. But, she didn’t care. As long as she can stay at his side for this lifetime.

“Hmm..seems like your long lost love have found its way back huh? I’m not as tough as you Thena. You different, you may look soft outside, but you were really tough inside. Unlike me, I look tough outside, but my heart is weak as a paper. Easy to crumple and tear up.”

“Don’t be sad. It’s true that love can’t be forced. But you will always have time to learn it again right?”

“Should I or shouldn’t I give him another chance? I’m afraid that he will do it again. Break my heart over and over. it’s hurt. I don’t wanna to feel it again. What do I do Athena?” Aurora finally let out what has been weighing her heart at this moment.

“So, did he persuaded you back?” Athena chuckles.

Aurora nod and make a helpless expression.

“Do you love him?”

Aurora nods and said. “I do.”

“Did he regret it yet?”

“I’m not sure about that.”

“Did you give him a hint that you still love him?”

Aurora dumbfounded a moment. “Well, I do take the flower and chocolate that he gave me. But I never say that I want to get back with him.”

“Then, let him suffered a little. But don’t make him wait for too long. Until he really loves you and ready to be yours again only you accept him.”

“Oh wow, I never know that my aloof sister had a sly side too.”

Both of them laughs.

….

After 30 minutes drive, they arrive at Lee Mansion’s Gate.

Standing in front of the gate is Yin Li with his casual shirt and backpack.

Aurora’s mouth opens widely seeing him in front of the gate and Athena just hid her smile. ‘Speaking of the devil.’

She stops her car and unbuckles her seatbelt. She opens the car door and went to him leaving Athena in the car.

“Mr. Yin, what are you doing here?” She asks curiously.

“Oh, Miss Aurora. I just want to inform you that your loan has been approved and here. Your house lease agreement.” he wants to open up his backpack, but immediately Aurora holds his hand stopping his action.

“Let’s talk inside the house. Get on the car.” She leads him and signaling the guard to let him pass the security check.

Once he opens the door, Athena smiling to Yin Li. Yin Li also smiles at her. “Athena… I thought you were in Arendell?”

“No, I take a short visit to my parents’ house.”

“Oh, is Aslan here?” He asks again.

“No. He had a matter in Arendell, so it just me who return.”

The private valet opens the door for the three of them. Once they inside the house, Athena turns to look at both of them. “Well, nice to talk with you Yin Li. Aur, I’ll be at my room if you need anything.”

“Okay,” Aurora replies.

After Athena went upstairs, she turns to look at Yin Li. Sighing.

“Come.” she invites him to her private study room on the first floor. The room is a bit hidden from the main hall. Well, since her father and mother are nowhere to be found right now, it’ll be okay to invite him into her room.

“So, the document?” She extended her hand to him.

“Oh.” He opens up his bag and took out a few documents from inside.

Aurora let him sit at the chair while she checks the details and the agreement letter. She uses her big rounded glasses, her long hair, she let it loose and her white skin look a bit shining because of the sun ray slip through the glass window.

Yin Li stare at her face. He missed her. He took a flight and apply leave for a few days so that he could see her.

“Is there something on my face?” She asks without looking at him and continues to focus on the paper.

“No, I just realize that my ex-wife is a beautiful person.”

Aurora bit her lips, try to hide her smile. “Isn’t it a bit late for you to realize it?”

Yin Li scrunch his eyebrow. “Yeah, I know.”

Took a pen from the drawer, she signs the agreement. “Here, I already sign this agreement and….” She took out her cheque book and write a few figures on it before she gives to Yin Li. “My house payment.”

Yin Li took the document and cheque. He keeps in one file and Aurora just see him put the document in his backpack after that.

“Miss Aur..”
