I didn't say anything, which meant that he was right.
After a pause, Irvin opened his mouth and said, "I don't mean anything else. I just wanted to see you and know how you have been."
I paused for a while and said, "I'm fine, so thank you for your concern!"
Our eyes met, and his smile seemed a little lonely. He replied, "I will wait. A lifetime is long enough, and I will always wait for you. It's okay if I can't have you. A lifetime is short, and it will soon pass. In the next life, I will meet you first!"
A black Maybach stopped behind him, and the man in the back seat lowered the window and looked in our direction.
I noticed him, but I said nothing. I simply looked at Irvin and said, "Mr. Granger, thank you for your favor. However, my words still stand. You don't have to waste your time on me. I have my own family, my business and my children, and I'm doing fine, and you know very well how your presence here will affect me. Therefore, I don't want you to appear in my life anymore. I don't want to be favored by any man other than Hendrix, even if you only want to protect me."
Irvin lowered his head and said with a wry smile, "You rejected other men for him. If you love him that wholeheartedly, why would you leave Jarold City to come here? Arianna, I'm just really curious. What exactly are you thinking about?"
How should I put my thoughts into words?
