Chapter 11 My Little Bear God
When Ashburn and I returned home, we both had stern faces. My parents tried their best to liven up the atmosphere, but it was still in vain.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
My mom pushed me under the Christmas tree and told me to find a gift.
I randomly picked one since Christmas and birthday wishes were not likely to come true anyway.
My parents were delighted, urging me to unwrap the gift quickly. I reluctantly put on a smile, not wanting to reject their kindness.
However, the moment I opened it, I was stunned.
It was a teddy bear, identical to the one Ashburn had given me.
I looked up at Ashburn, and he was looking at me too.
Mom was my Santa Claus, I always knew that she was more reliable than my teddy bear god.
“Melody, press its heart.”
Facing my mom’s expectant gaze, I gently pressed the heart of the teddy bear and felt something hard.
“I love you, I love you, I love you.”
Three “I love you” messages, from Dad, Mom, and Ashburn.
I hugged my parents tightly, but my gaze was fixed on Ashburn in front of me.
“Thank you, I love you.”
Not that I love you all, but that I love you.
These were the true feelings of two timid souls hidden among the crowd.
After chatting with my parents and eating cake, I wearily returned to my bedroom.
I placed the teddy bear in its usual spot and began writing a letter at my desk.
I know that there is always something blocking between me and Ashburn.
When I was eighteen, I was willing to break through for him. At twenty-one, I lost that courage.
On the contrary, Ashburn, at twenty, was a coward, but at twenty-three, he wanted to be brave.
We, the timing wasn’t right.
It’s okay. In five days, I would leave this Ashburn-filled world.
