Then Comes Spring When Winter Ends - Chapter 105 Was It Like This?

Crystal on the other hand was emotionless, she endured the pain, she knew she was in the wrong and she had already resigned to her fate. She was thinking about Tom’s words, how her current looks does not matter to him, how he wants to start anew. Should she just leave all the revenge to Derek and Jade, then just be on her way with Tom. To be honest, she is pretty tired from all the revenge, look where it led her. Maybe… Just maybe… And then she passed out. Derek told the men to stop and immediately called the military doctor to give prompt treatment. According to the doctor, she fainted from mental exhaustion.

Jade was still in deep thoughts over April words. She was shocked that she had turned into a blood thirsty person hunger for revenge. It was that night when her own blood related mother schemed against her and Derek. She was then reminded how Derek took the bullet for her. She is still the same old Jade but she would not tolerate those who keeps on hurting the people she care and love. She won’t provoke anyone unless they disturb her first. One cannot be too soft hearted because the enemy will continue to attack until the other party is totally destroyed. She did not stay on to witness the torture, for her is enough to know the other party had suffered, she does not take joy in their downfall. Instead she feels conflicted each time. In revenge, there is truly no winner. Eventually every one gets hurt only the sequence is different.

Derek came home to a gloomy Jade. Adam wasn’t feeling good either. Despite achieving their revenge, why does it feel so wrong? April understood how Adam felt, she quickly pulled him to her. “What done is done, you don’t have to dwell on it any longer. Aren’t I fine now? I used to think that revenge would make me feel better but I learnt that it does not work that way. The only way to heal is to move forward. Let’s move forward together, you and I.” she took his hand and gave it a kiss.

He nodded his head and remembered he haven’t proposed properly yet and they haven’t discussed yet about their wedding. Maybe he should plan something since the board meeting is tomorrow and her final project proposal is tomorrow, this time she will be going there to present it herself. The first time, the board was agreeable but few things required ammendments after the board discussion, hence the need for a second presentation. He is confident that her project will get the approval and he would sure she has two reasons to celebrate. His downcast look disappeared with her kiss.

Meanwhile Derek was trying to cheer his wife up. He was buzzing around her like a fly that she started to get annoyed and wanted to swat him away. “Derek Lee! Sit still, stop hovering around. You are making me dizzy! It is so annoying. Go away! ” After she spoke those words, she covered her mouth, she could not believed she just said those words out loud. Sigh! What is wrong with me. She felt so guilty and she kept looking down. She did not dare to look up, she is afraid to see hurt in his eyes. She shut her eyes tightly, refusing to open. She rubbed between her eyebrows to release some tension she is feeling.

Derek read that pregnant ladies are emotional and can be unreasonable but he will not say out loud the second trait because he might get into trouble because of it. He stared at his wife who is looking so guilty, he finds her so cute. He could not help but feel a strong sexual urge to conquer and conquest this woman of his. He approached her like a predator approaching its prey. Jade could sense the aura surrounding him but she kept her eyes closed and remained seated. The next thing she knew she was hoisted up in the air, she could not help but let out a small shriek out of shock. Her closed eyes flew opened. Her tensed body immediately relaxed in his cradle. She sigh in contentment, he has this effect on her ever since the first time they met. She just knew that she can trust him.

He brought her out to their backyard and then stood under the old peach blossom tree. He swung her around a few times and she started laughing and then he just held her to be at same level with him. “Do you remember your dream? Was it like this?”

She remembered the time she feel asleep at the funeral home, she dreamt she was running at a field of flowers and someone picked her up and twirl her around until they were both laughing. Initially she did not know it was him until she looked up. Being reminded of that night and her dream made her smile brightly at him. She hooked her hands around his neck and stared right into his eyes. She leaned in and gave him a fiery kiss.

After awhile, they finally pulled apart and she said, “This is nothing like the dream, this is so much more better.” Looking at her messy hair, swollen lips and mesmerising smile, Derek had to exert a lot of self control in order not to take her there and then. He smiled back at her and said, “Then we will make it memorable as well” he swooped down for another kiss while his hands were exploring her body and one of his wandering hand gave her bootylicious back side a squeeze, igniting her passion further.
