Waiting For a Girl Like You - Chapter 1063 I Won't Regret It In My Life
“Mom, I missed you so much!”
Selina wrapped her arms around Carla’s neck, and with tears falling down her cheeks, she complained, “I want to be with you, too. I want to stay here in JA City with you, and live with you just like Sally. Then I can see you every day!”
Carla wiped off Selina’s tears and lovingly caressed her black hair. “Selina, I want to be with you, too. But if you come to JA City and live with me, who will keep your father company?” she said guiltily.
Selina sniffed and her eyes was filled with even more tears. She was lost in thought, thinking about what Carla had just said. Her mother was right. Who would be with her father if she left? She absolutely didn’t want her father to be all alone.
“Stop crying, honey. Your eyes are already puffy. That’s not good for you. Come on, I brought you a lot of delicious food…” Carla gently wiped the tears on Selina’s face again and took her hand as she led her to the living room.
She stayed with Selina in the hotel for a while. Then, she called Sally and asked her to come over to keep Selina company.
Carla didn’t feel good about leaving Selina all alone in the hotel, considering that she was only eight years old. And since Selina and Sally got along so well, Carla thought it might be good to ask Sally to take care of Selina.
Besides, Steven was probably too busy dealing with his father’s funeral, so he wouldn’t have time to take care of the little girl for the meantime.
Carla was always more than willing to help her friends, and since Selina was like a daughter to her, Carla naturally felt responsible for taking care of her.
Two days later
Under a willow tree, at a distance from a solemn funeral, Carla stood quietly while holding a black umbrella in her hand. She looked at the people standing in front of the tombstone. Not a lot of people came to the funeral after what happened to the Su family, and Steven wanted to keep it low-key. Steven was kneeling, his head angled towards the ground.
Victor, who was right next to Steven, was also kneeling on the ground. Gary’s secretary was there with them too, and among the three of them, Victor cried the loudest.
Secretary Liu lowered his head and sobbed without making a sound.
The other people just stood there, watching the three of them in silence. None of them seemed as heartbroken
“Callie!”
Carla stopped, but she didn’t turn around.
“I will never regret it in my life,”
Steven said in a hoarse voice from behind her.
His only regret was that he failed to give his father what he owed him. He did not regret anything he did for Carla.
He didn’t regret meeting her. He didn’t regret settling down in Yu Sea City. He didn’t regret dedicating his life to her.
Life was meant to be full of ups and downs, and only a few people could actually get the chance to do what they wanted.
He felt lucky enough that he got the chance to do what he wanted, and was able to follow his heart.
Maybe in other people’s eyes, he was destined to be alone in life. Maybe they thought he was stupid, and that it wasn’t worth it.
But in his heart it was always as clear as a crystal ball. He didn’t care what other people thought of him. He knew exactly what he wanted, and he never let the opinions of other people affect or change his decision.
Just like his father.
He had come a long way. He was able to be true to himself every single day.
It was Callie who gave him freedom and space.
If he hadn’t moved to Yu Sea City, and stayed in JA City to run his father’s business instead, he had no idea what kind of person he would have become. He might have become one of those businessmen who put money before everything.
Other people only saw Carla’s coldness and his blind love for her.
But none of them knew how grateful he was for Carla. None of them knew what Carla had done for him.
Carla didn’t say anything more. She kept walking.
She had to go back early. She promised the kids that she would cook dinner for them.
