Hard To Say Goodbye
Chapter 34 Happy Scene

No matter what Nora did, she had to follow her true thoughts.

No matter how time changed, what she had and experienced were real. They could be hidden, but it didn't mean that they could forget it.

The longer it took, the deeper it felt to be turned over again.

After getting along with each other day and night for so long, every time Nora faced Murphy, her heart was always full of struggle. She wanted to leave, but it was not easy to replace a good job in Beijing.

If she was alone, when she knew that her boss was Murphy, she would leave resolutely and continue to replace another job.

But with little Hugh, she couldn't afford to waste time. She needed a stable job.

She had buried her feelings three years ago deep in her heart and didn't want to touch them, because that was the pain of her whole life.

For many sleepless nights, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. The wound that had been dug out was still dripping blood. With tears in her eyes, she licked the wound that could not be healed at all. She woke up crying and then fell asleep again.

No one knew how much she loved Murphy. The stronger she pretended to be, the more fragile she was in her heart.

No one knew how sad she was when she faced him countless times every day.

Originally, she wanted to go on like this and the two of them would be fine. She would treat the past as a treasure and never mention it. However, the more he didn't want it to happen, the earlier it would come. After such a long time of contact, he actually had a crush on her.

She was in a dilemma. She had too many things to worry about. It was really difficult for her to make a choice.

In the company, he took good care of her, no matter at work or life, He feared that she would feel wronged so that he always considered for her.

Seeing this, Nora thought in her heart that all the efforts of Murphy were enough to prove that his love for her was not illusory.

Once, Nora went to pick up little Hugh after work and waited for the bus at the intersection. When Murphy passed by, he asked her to get in the car and the two went to pick up little Hugh together. Nobody knew that he had been here with Nora after work.

When they arrived at the school, the children were already in a line, waiting for their parents, and some of them had been picked up by their parents.

He saw little Hugh from a distance. He put his feet on the ground and shook his little head. He looked around, looking for his mother.

When he saw his mother, he was so happy, like a happy little elf.

The teacher took little Hugh's hand, walked to Nora and said, "He has been very obedient these days. He is also very active in class." Then she said to little Hugh, "Go ahead! Go to replace your mother. Let's go home together. Remember to practice writing at home!" Looking at Nora and listening to the teacher's words, Murphy smiled so sweetly and happily, as if little Hugh was really his son.

At that time, her heart ached inexplicably.

When could she get over the pain?

Nora thanked the teacher and took little Hugh to get on the car of Murphy.

The car was speeding on the road, with lyric music in it. Little Hugh stayed quietly in his mother's arms, like a happy family of three, how harmonious and warm.

After a while, they arrived at the gate of the community. The car stopped. At first, he intended to go up and have a seat. He looked at little Hugh, but didn't say anything.

Just when she was about to ask him to go home and have a rest, little Hugh spoke.

Little Hugh held her mother's hand and said, "The teacher said that people should be polite. If someone helps you, you should say thank you."

The two adults laughed at the innocent words of the child.

Then little Hugh continued, "Mom, you should invite uncle to our house for dinner. It's polite."

It was exactly what he wanted! He was secretly happy in his heart.

This little guy really knew what adults were thinking.

Nora was speechless for a moment. She didn't want to let him in because she was afraid that there would be misunderstanding. Her son would say that her mother was impolite. When she was considering this matter, little Hugh actually held the hand of Murphy and went upstairs.

"Go upstairs and have some water before you leave," said Nora hurriedly.

The implication was that he didn't want him to stay at his home for a long time. Of course, Murphy also knew that it was not easy for her to let him stay at home this time.

When he arrived at home, he looked around the room. It was a building with two bedrooms and one living room. One room was for Grace, another room was for Nora and Hugh.

As the proverb said, "The sparrow is small all-sided." Just liked their house, although it was small, it was clean and fully-furnished.

It turned out that she had rented an apartment with someone else.

Murphy felt a little sorry for the child in front of him.

The child's growth was also closely related to the environment. It was good for his physical and mental development to let the child grow up in a good environment.

He wanted to help Nora with all his heart, but he was afraid that she would refuse again.

Holding his hand, little Hugh sat on the sofa. Nora made a cup of bitter coffee without sugar for him and handed it to him.

After a while, little Hugh ran to the bedroom, jumping up and down. In the blink of an eye, she took out a lot of toys, such as checkers, building blocks, guns, plane... There were a lot of them on the tea table. As a neat freak, Murphy didn't want to see anything messy, but he had a very happy time with little Hugh.

It seemed that little Hugh liked him very much, and he also liked him very much.

Two men, one old and one young, were having fun.

Murphy took the coffee that was passed by Nora, he looked at her with a smile and said nothing.

After taking a sip, he put the cup on the tea table and continued to play with little Hugh.

At this time, little Hugh raised her little face, looked at him and said, "Uncle, I also want to have a sip of coffee."

"You are still young. Coffee is not good for you. You won't be able to fall asleep later," said Murphy to little Hugh.

Hugh acted like a spoiled child, "No, no, I just want to have a sip."

Looking at the cute little Hugh, he burst into laughter and said, "Uncle's coffee is bitter. You have to hold on. Don't vomit!"

Little Hugh nodded hard.

After taking a sip, little Hugh quickly covered his mouth with his little hand and frowned. But in the blink of an eye, he loosened his hand and swallowed the coffee.0000
