Chapter 68
The sea breeze blew their hair, her pleated skirt was like a blooming gardenia in the wind.
He squatted down, gently tucked her messy hair behind her ear, and knelt on one knee. At that moment, he was extremely gentlemanly.
"Little bunny, I'll tell you my name in the future." He wanted her to know who he was until someday he became someone.
Tracey seemed to understand, but she actually not. "Brother, remember to come to see me!" She was really happy when being with him.
"Of course, that is our appointment." He smiled gently. They had made so many appointments these days, maybe all would be forgotten by her instantly when they were apart.
"Then let’s make a pinky swear." No matter what happened, she would not forget him. She liked this brother who liked to wear a white shirt.
"Okay, a pinky swear." Two fingers crossed again.
Tracey looked at the young man, he was so bright when stood in the warm sunshine.
He was just like the son of light, so pure and flawless. This white shirt looked ordinary on the crew's son, but it became a pretty one when being worn by the boy.
"Little Tracey, wait for me." His lips gently fell on her forehead, and his lips were a little cold.
He left soon before Tracey respond and disappeared in the crowd of the dock.
Either the teenager in white or the one who saved her life, the boy became a passer-by of Tracey.
At first, she still remembered that there was a brother who would come to see her, but as time went, day by day, year by year.
Playful as Tracey, the figure of the boy eventually disappeared in her memory. Until many years later, she watched a movie.
In "Titanic", Rose and Jack found a piece of floating wood after the ship hit the iceberg.
Only one person could stay on the wood. Jack let Rose climb on it, he chose to stay in the iced water.
She recalled that she had gone through a similar thing, but she couldn't remember what the boy looked like after such a long time.
She had already forgotten her childhood appointment. After he left, he didn't come to her, and she also forgot him.
The pictures of that year flushed to her mind. The young man on the deck overlapped with the man in front of her. A long-lost memory slowly recovered.
"You are..." Tracey covered the mouth with her hands and looked at him incredulously.
His appearance didn't change a lot, but he was more mature than before. If he didn't remind her, her memory was still lost.
Now that she remembered it, her mind was going back to that stormy night. She was hanging on him in the sea like an octopus.
He grabbed the driftwood with one hand and held her with the other hand. He told her not to be scared but to wait for rescue.
Adam slowly stuck out his little thumb and said, "Little bunny, I'm back."
He still remembered the secret signal between them. Little Tracey liked to make pinky swears with others at that time as if once the appointments made, they would all be fulfilled in the future.
Looking at his slender fingers, she slowly reached out her finger, two fingers crossed, just like they used to be.
Then he pulled her into his arms. "You heartless girl. You asked me to marry you when you grow up, I never forgot it.”
"But you forgot me immediately. What's more, you were together with my nephew and got heartbreaking for him!" This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
His voice was full of grievance. Tracey was still in shock but soon was amused by his "heartless girl".
"Ahem, let go of me. I can barely breathe!"
"That's how you ever hugged me. You almost strangled me to death." He slowly let go of her. The little girl of that year had turned to the beautiful gentlewoman in front of him.
Although her young look could still be seen for her facial features, her temper had changed dramatically.
"Why didn't you tell me this at the beginning?" Tracey was still in shock. For a moment, she could not recover from the surprise that Adam was that boy.
"I didn't tell you 15 years ago because of my embarrassing background. I want to wait until one day that I am proud enough to say hello to you."
"I didn't tell you three years ago because I wanted to see if you would remember me or not. You turned out to be really heartless that you have totally forgotten me."
His tone was quite aggrieved, but Tracey felt even more. He had already known a lot of things in that year, but she was just a playful-minded child.
How could a child take his words seriously? Besides, she often played house with other children, so it was normal for her to say those words.
She had never taken it seriously, so she didn't really care about it. Oppositely, he had been thinking about it for 15 years and waiting for her to grow up.
"I... I was still naive at that time." Hearing his words, Tracey felt like she had abandoned her husband.
"You have found a good excuse, or you will be punished. You said you are going to treat me lunch." Adam suddenly let go of her and said in a relaxed tone, as if nothing happened just now.
However, Tracey was very curious about him. What happened that year? How could his cruise ship crash?
At that time, she was too young to think about the reasons. But today, she felt strange since the sea area was very wide, without any reefs or mountains.
Where did he go after that? Since he hadn't forgotten all the time, why didn't he come to find her? And There was a most important problem.
"You just said that you and Sean liked the same girl. What do you mean by that?"
"Call me brother." Right at the moment that Tracey had many questions, Adam requested. He was really the same naughty as he was.
He could make her absolutely obedient at that time, it was Tracey who always followed Adam to beg him playing games with her.
It was so sweet for Adam to be called "brother". Who knew when they all grew up and met again, it was all about the misunderstanding, indifference, and wicked words.
"Bro...bro..." The name she used to be easy to call him had become difficult for her. After all, she had never been that naive little girl.
"It's not sweet at all."
"Brother."
"Add my name!" At that time, he didn't expose his identity. Now it was different. He could show up in front of her frankly.
"Brother Adam." She had never called a man so intimately ever since she grew up. Her cheeks flushed.
Seeing that he was staring at her evilly, Tracey hit him on the chest, "I'm done. Now it's your turn to answer my question."
"Yes, I will. But I'm hungry now and I don't have the strength to speak." "What?!"
