Chapter 731 Can’t Figure Him Out
Figures flickered.
The lighting was chaotic, and Darwin shouldn't have been able to see Fiona's face clearly.
But for some reason, Darwin knew she was crying.
Darwin's heart tightened.
Why was she crying?
Didn't that man treat her well enough?
With these thoughts in his mind, Darwin's footsteps became somewhat uncontrollable as he wanted to go to her side.
Aura brought food and went back to the second floor of the inn, intending to give it to Darwin.
But when she pushed open the door, she didn't see Blaise.
Aura was startled.
Her first thought was that Blaise went to find that woman!
In a panic, Aura immediately ran downstairs and rushed out of the house.
In the crowd, she immediately spotted Darwin standing in the dark, looking toward the Wishing Platform.
Aura followed his gaze subconsciously.
She saw Fiona throwing flowers into the fire under Jessica's guidance at the end of the prayer,
At that moment, Aura's jealousy and fear reached their peak.
When she looked toward Darwin again, she saw him stepping out of the darkness, seemingly heading toward Fiona.
Aura's scalp tingled.
She immediately ran toward Darwin.
At that moment, several playful children ran past, and one of them bumped into Darwin's leg.
He grunted and lost his balance, falling to the ground.
"Blaise!" Aura exclaimed in shock, immediately running to his side and reaching out to help him up.
Perhaps because of the commotion, Fiona glanced over and looked toward this direction.
The children surrounded Darwin, worried that they had caused trouble.
Fiona's gaze briefly paused but was then attracted back by Jessica's voice.
"You're much friendlier than we imagined," Jessica said cheerfully. "I'm quite sorry we didn't get to meet your children this time! When you leave, make sure to bring gifts for me!"
"Why would you want to meet my children?" Fiona was puzzled.
"To thank her. If it wasn't for your daughter's righteous words, we wouldn't have received so much money to settle down in the big city," Jessica immediately explained.
Fiona had no idea what she was talking about.
"My daughter's righteous words?"
"Yes, we met the boss who was responsible for communicating with us again in the capital. He told us that Mr. Solomon didn't originally approve so much compensation for us, but it was your daughter’s words that made Mr. Solomon add much more money for us!"
When Darwin was mentioned, Jessica's smile slowly faded, and she carefully observed Fiona, afraid of hurting this gentle and amiable woman.
"Oh, is that so?" Fiona smiled. "My daughter and husband didn't tell me about it."
Seeing that Fiona didn't have a strong reaction, Jessica sighed softly and gathered the courage to say, "People outside say Mr. Solomon is a ruthless capitalist, but I think he's a good person."
For such a long time, Fiona had hoped that anyone, no matter who, could talk more about Darwin with her.
But it seemed like everyone had agreed that Darwin became a deep-seated pain in her heart, something that could not be touched or mentioned.
"Why do you think he's good?" Fiona asked.
"Look at that house over there." Jessica pointed to a small building a few hundred meters away. “It used to be the hotel that belonged to my mother-in-law and me. That's where Mr. Solomon came to rest when he bought the island. I asked him why he had to buy our island, and he said he wanted to buy this island because the sea and beach here were just like what his lover had described to him, a beach she wanted to go on vacation to."
Fiona's heart tightened suddenly.
She desperately searched her memory for something related.
Finally, in a small corner, she found a memory from the time she had just adapted to Darwin and was close to him.
At that time, her grandmother had just had a successful surgery.
Fiona thought she would take her to the seaside when she could leave the hospital.
When she was making plans, Darwin saw her.
Darwin asked her, "Do you like the sea?"
Fiona nodded. "Children born inland all have a longing for the sea, don't they?"
Darwin leaned against her desk, pinched her chin, and looked at her with a deep and focused gaze. "What kind of sea do you like?"
Fiona let Darwin continue to hold her chin and thought carefully. "A clean beach with soft, fine sand and crystal-clear blue water. It would be even better if there were lots of books and flowers! In short, it should be beautiful."
After hearing this, Darwin laughed. "Aren't all islands like what you described?"
Fiona still remembered that at that time, she criticized Darwin in her heart for not understanding romance.
But she had to put on an innocent and naive look on her face. "Is that so? I've never been to an island, so I don't know what it looks like."
Later, Darwin seemed to think of something.
His expression immediately turned gloomy, and he became very unhappy. He forcefully let go of her chin and said coldly, "You're just a substitute. Don't have so many thoughts."
During that time, probably indulged in the satisfaction, he bothered her every day.
But that night, he didn't, and afterward, he became distant for more than two weeks.
Fiona thought that maybe Darwin misunderstood her when she said she had never been to an island.
She was just being playful, hoping he would take her.
Later, she found out that he had planned a vacation in the Maldives before Darwin had the accident with Lilian Robbins.
After that, Fiona never mentioned going to an island again.
Even when Darwin took the initiative to develop a resort on the island, Fiona rarely expressed her opinion on the matter.
Darwin said he wanted to keep a private area for her so she could come and spend winter there in the future.
Fiona was happy in her heart, but she didn't show much on the surface.
What Fiona was afraid of was giving Darwin the impression that she had ulterior motives.
But at that time, Darwin was upset for two days because Fiona didn't seem too happy.
Fiona, at that time, was very confused.
She left a sigh in her work notes on that day. "No matter how many years pass, I still can't figure out my boss."
Fiona subconsciously looked around the island.
She looked at the soft sand beneath her feet.
Fiona felt a sourness in her heart.
She had never thought that Darwin could remember such a matter that happened at the beginning of their acquaintance.
He actually found such an island and bought it.
Before they got married, Fiona and Darwin had an argument.
Darwin said that during those five years, all he relied on was digging out memories and thoughts between the two of them from the past, repeatedly recalling and living in them.
Fiona thought Darwin was exaggerating.
But now...
