Waiting For a Girl Like You - Chapter 1028 Terence, Sorry I'm Late

Terence nodded.

Linda stepped out of the house, coming to the yard as she asked, “Who is it?”

The moment she opened the gate, she found a woman waiting on the other side.

“Miss, I’m sorry to bother you, but a woman in a village nearby told me you were up in the mountains yesterday morning. I just want to make sure you really haven’t seen this man, or have you?”

Carla inquired, showing her a photo of Terence.

She had spent the whole night with Nathan, Rainer and Carol, looking for him.

However, just as they were about to give up, a middle-aged woman revealed that she saw someone like Linda up in the mountain in the early morning when she went to remove weeds in her own garden.

After asking more questions, Carla finally realized that the lady was Linda.

“And who are you?”

Linda looked her up and down. Despite her weary face, Carla was far from looking like an average person. A glance at her fine clothes and her behavior was enough for Linda to notice this. In fact, she hardly was the kind of woman she was used to seeing out in the city, let alone, the village.

“I’m his wife. The man in the picture is my husband. I’ve been looking for him for days! If you know anything, please tell me. I’ll appreciate any information you may have.”

Carla held Linda’s hands, expectantly. Her eyes were hopeful, longing for good news. She had already gone through too much over the previous night.

Now, she couldn’t take another one!

“You, you are…”

Although Linda had noticed the wedding ring on Terence’s finger before, she couldn’t quite explain it, but Carla’s words didn’t feel right to her.

“Yes, I went to the mountain yesterday, but I’m afraid I can’t help you. I haven’t seen anyone…”

Linda started to push the gate to close it, but Carla stopped her with her foot.

“Miss, are you sure you haven’t seen him? Perhaps you’ve seen something strange or other people going up the mountain? Anything you’ve seen could help,”

Carla asked urgently, taking hold of Linda’s arm.

As hope was slipping through her fingers once again, she felt like she would collapse at any moment.

In the past few days, she had

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

“As long as I’m alive, I’m still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

wife.

“Mr. An, I don’t need anything in return. We were destined to cross paths, so I did nothing but what I was supposed to do.”

Linda smiled at him. With a sigh, she turned around and headed back to the house.

As she watched Linda leave, Carla didn’t believe the girl was 19 years old. She couldn’t begin to think how hard it must have been for her to drop out of school and take care of a sick mother at such a young age.

“Wait a minute.”

Terence glanced at Carla before going after Linda.

Linda had barely reached the house when her eyes were already burning tears.

She had only known Terence for a short span of time, but she had already developed feelings for him.

It was easy for a young girl like her to fall in love, not to mention Terence was a charming man.

Yet Linda was embarrassed of her feelings and the tears she couldn’t hold any longer.

“Here’s my phone number. I’ll send someone to pick you and your mother up. In JA City, she’ll get proper treatment. If you need anything, call me at any time.”

He came in, already taking a pen and a piece of paper from the table as he wrote down his number.

His arrival had been so sudden, and Linda didn’t have the time to regain her composure.

“What’s the matter?”

he politely asked as soon as he noticed she was crying.

“Well…I… I’m not used to having visitors. I know you’ve only been here for two days, but I’m a little upset that you’re leaving already. That’s all.”

Linda forced a smile, doing her best to mask her true feelings.
