As William stared off in the distance, a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. He recalled the dim light of that night and the way she ate.
"When?" Mary's eyes widened. "Why... Don't I remember it?"
"You forgot. Let's go and have a seat." William directed her to the bench.
"… Okay."
Mary nodded. The two sat side by side on the bench on the rooftop, watching the scenery in the distance.
A gust of wind blew and Mary's hair flew slightly, sweeping across the tip of William's nose. It left a trace of fragrance.
"The first time I saw you, you were eating instant noodles. Alone, eleven o'clock in the evening." William kept his eyes on the scenery in front of them. "I don't know why I talked with you at that time."
The memory of that day suddenly flashed in Mary's mind. She remembered the scene many years ago piece by piece. "That was you? Hm..."
"Yes. That was me." William smiled.
"I didn't expect that."
"Yes. After that, you couldn't remember me."
"Ha ha..." Mary lowered her head and chuckled. "I was too busy digging into that bowl of noodles at that time. If I'd known that you were my boss, I would have fawned on you."
"If I'd known that you were going to be my future wife..." William paused and didn't continue. If he did it again...
"Mary? How have you
ng." Lucas shook his head. "Then what do you plan to do in the future?"
"I don't know."
There was a moment of silence.
"How is she lately?" lowering his head, William asked.
"Who?" Lucas laughed wildly and tilted his head.
"Do you want to get beaten up again?" William snapped.
"Why don't you ask her?"
"No, I can't." William shook his head. She already had children and a boyfriend. It wasn't long before they got married. Why would he disturb her again?
Lucas stared at William's forlorn face and felt sorry for him. Being kept in the dark, William was a little pathetic.
"Are we friends?" Lucas raised his eyebrows.
"What? Are you trying to break up with me? If so, then you have to beat me first, otherwise..." William smiled lazily.
"Otherwise, you'll have no choice but to be my friend."
"Get out, ha ha..."
"Ha ha..."
"Do you want to come inside and have a seat?" William asked.
"Forget it. I'm not interested. I'm going to see my godson and my goddaughter," Lucas replied.
As William heard what he said, the light in his eyes dimmed. He knew who Lucas was talking about. "Sometimes, I envy you."
"I envy you," Lucas smiled bitterly. "I'll be leaving now. Oh! And don't drink too much. Take it as a doctor's advice, alright?"
"Just get out of here!"
