His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 157: Just a Bunch of Cowards Moved by Their Own Feelings
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Ethan Sinclair was invited by the university to tour the new campus and facilities.
Kiana Sutton followed him silently, obediently acting as a little follower.
At this time, a man approached Kiana Sutton and exclaimed with some surprise, "Kiana Sutton, it’s really you!"
Kiana Sutton turned to look and saw an unfamiliar face.
She was about to gesture, remembering he might not understand sign language, she took out a note to write, but the man’s voice sounded, "Use sign language, I understand."
Kiana Sutton was slightly taken aback, then gestured, "Who are you?"
"Hello, I’m Terence Stone, from the same class as you, majoring in simultaneous English translation. You might not know me, but I know you very well."
"You know me?"
"Of course, you were the little dimple sweetheart of Varden University’s business management department; who doesn’t know you?"
Kiana Sutton: "..."
Back then, apart from a few in her dorm, she rarely interacted with others.
How did it sound from Terence Stone’s mouth like she was quite famous!
But it was rare to see such an enthusiastic alumnus, Kiana Sutton, fearing she might neglect him, smiled and found a topic, "May I ask where you work?"
Today Kiana Sutton wore a light purple shirt and white pants, and her smile was as bright as the wind, absolutely stunning.
Even after years, seeing Kiana Sutton again, Terence Stone still felt moved.
"After graduation, I stayed and taught at the school; I’m now an English teacher in Varden."
Kiana Sutton gave him a big thumbs up, meaning to praise him for being awesome.
There were quite a few people accompanying; on Ethan Sinclair’s left was the school’s leader, and on the right was a pretty guide introducing the new campus to him.
It has to be said, Varden University has changed quite a bit over the years.
That seems to be the business management department’s teaching building, where Kiana Sutton attended classes back then.
Thinking of Kiana Sutton, Ethan Sinclair turned to take a look, and saw her chatting happily with a suit-clad man, looking quite pleased.
A nameless jealousy and anger surged in Ethan Sinclair’s heart, damn Kiana Sutton, she couldn’t stop flirting with men even now, why smile so happily?
Afraid others wouldn’t know she’s a fool?
And that damn man was standing so close to Kiana Sutton, was he tired of living?
Kiana Sutton was happily chatting with Terence Stone, without noticing Ethan Sinclair’s cold, sharp gaze.
"What about you? Where do you work now?"
Kiana Sutton was about to gesture when a cold voice suddenly sounded, "Secretary Sutton..."
Kiana Sutton looked up to see Ethan Sinclair, possibly feeling hot, taking off his suit jacket and handing it to her.
Everyone stopped because of his action.
Kiana Sutton suddenly became the focus.
She wasn’t used to being watched by so many people, immediately went up to take the coat from Ethan Sinclair’s hand.
At that moment, she heard Ethan Sinclair’s low warning, "Stay away from other men for me! And stop smiling, you look hideous when you do!"
After speaking, Ethan Sinclair acted as if nothing happened, gave a faint smile to those nearby, "Sorry for taking up a bit of your time, let’s continue."
Kiana Sutton: "..."
Terence Stone immediately approached, "You’re actually President Sinclair’s secretary? That’s impressive!"
Thinking of Ethan Sinclair’s earlier warning, Kiana Sutton immediately distanced herself from Terence Stone.
In truth, the distance between them was normal for social interaction, but her action seemed somewhat deliberate.
Terence Stone was immediately bewildered on the spot, Kiana Sutton also felt a bit embarrassed, awkwardly nodded to him.
Then, without saying another word, she directly followed Ethan Sinclair’s steps.
Walking along, the group arrived at Varden’s popular spot, the confession wall.
The guide smiled and said, "This confession wall has been here for over twenty years in Varden. During President Sinclair’s time at the university, surely many girls confessed to you here?"
Ethan Sinclair looked at the confession wall covered in sticky notes of various colors, a scene flashed quickly in his mind, a pair of hands carefully placing a pink sticky note on it.
But when he tried hard to recall what was written, his head felt like it was being pricked by needles, bringing on a sharp pain.
"President Sinclair, are you alright? Feeling unwell somewhere?"
Ethan Sinclair shook his head, thinking again, he’d never been to this place in his memory, but what was that scene just now about?
The guide continued to ask, "Have you ever seen a love letter written for you on this wall, President Sinclair?"
"No, I’ve never been to this place."
Upon hearing Ethan Sinclair’s words, Kiana Sutton felt relieved and yet inexplicably a bit lost.
Back then, a month after falling in love with Ethan Sinclair at first sight, she secretly wrote a love letter and pasted it there, fantasizing that one day Ethan Sinclair would see it.
But since he never came, he obviously never saw it.
Several years had passed, she wondered if her sticky note was still there.
"Since we’re here, why don’t we take a look at what kind of moving love phrases are written on it."
Since it’s a confession wall, it’s naturally not afraid to be seen.
Kiana Sutton also took this opportunity to search for her own love letter from the place she pasted it years ago.
But the wall was too large, and after years, layers of notes piled one on top of another, countless as the stars, making one’s eyes blur.
As Kiana Sutton was concentrating on searching, Ethan Sinclair’s voice sounded above her head, "What are you looking for?"
Kiana Sutton was startled, turned around to see Ethan Sinclair had come to her side without her noticing.
Seeing Kiana Sutton with a guilty look, Ethan Sinclair lightly snorted, "What? Don’t tell me you were also childish enough to stick a love letter on this wall like these people?"
Childish?
What’s childish about it?
Secret love is so bitter, wanting him to know, yet fearing he might.
The only way to express her hidden love was through this wall.
To avoid him laughing at her, Kiana Sutton shook her head and gestured, "No, I just wanted to see what everyone else wrote."
"Hmph... What’s there to look at, just a bunch of cowards self-sentimentally moved!"
Kiana Sutton: "..."
How does this man manage to have such a handsome face but such a sharp tongue!
"Am I wrong? If you really like someone, you should have confessed a long time ago, what’s the point of writing it on this wall? Waiting for God to be merciful and for the other party to see it, then to come find her?"
Kiana Sutton took a deep breath, Ethan Sinclair never had a secret love, didn’t know the bitterness of it.
If the confession succeeded, it would naturally be a happy ending, but if failed, they might not even remain friends.
The one who falls first, naturally loves carefully, with gain and loss.
Besides, this guy has no sense of romance, she didn’t want to discuss this topic with him at all.
Kiana Sutton continued to look for her sticky note.
Suddenly, Ethan Sinclair’s voice rang out again, "The world’s gentleness is timely kindness and you in my eyes."
Upon hearing this, Kiana Sutton’s body instantly froze...
