Chapter 1894


    It was gettingte, and Marshall had to take his leave.


    Wenham asked him to stay a while longer out of courtesy and then called for a driver to take him home.


    Marshall politely declined, saying a colleague wasing to pick him up.


    Shortly after, they heard a car engine outside the house. His colleague had arrived.


    After bidding goodbye, Marshall got into the car.


    The driver was his new apprentice, a graduate who had just finished his studies half a year ago. He


    appeared very young but somewhat reserved. After greeting Marshall, he remained silent as he did not


    know what else to say.


    Marshall undid the button on his cor, stretched his neck, and looked at his phone.


    There were numerous missed calls and voicemails, mainly from his mother. Two WhatsApp messages


    were from Irene, a few work-rted messages, and some New Year’s greetings from various group


    chats.

    He opened the message from Irene. One read: [It’s the New Year. Why can’t you just enjoy it?] The


    other one said: [Your grandfather is upset.] Marshall cleared the chat history and said tly, “Let’s go.”


    The young man asked softly, “Mr. Moore, where should we go?”


    “The office. I need to get something.”


    Then, his apprentice started driving.


    The car had not gone far when his phone buzzed again.


    Marshall was slightly annoyed, thinking it was another message from his mother. However, when he


    checked it, he saw a message from Ka: [Happy New Year. If you wish me the same, give me some


    money.] Marshall repeatedly looked at the message. ‘She probably did not send this to everyone in her


    contact, right?’ Marshall thought to himself.


    Then, he transferred two hundred dors to Ka’s ount.


    After a few seconds, she sent him another text message: [ Thank you so much for the blessing.]


    Marshall chuckled before replying: [You’re too polite.] Ka asked: [By the way, why did you take it so


    seriously?] Marshall thought for a moment before he replied: [Because only your New Year wish looks


    like you typed it yourself.] Ka said: [It was forwarded to me.] Marshall was speechless.


    After a while, Ka sent him another text: [Since you blessed me with your money, I’ll help you fulfill


    your New Year’s wish.] Marshallughed: [Any wish?] [As long as it’s achievable within two hundred


    dors. If my dad found out that I did an unprofitable deal, he’s going to be very disappointed in me.]


    Her response made Marshallugh for a while before he replied: [Hmm… I wish to receive your New


    Year’s wish every year from now on.] Ka was taken aback and replied after a long while: [Sure.)


    As the car passed by a pharmacy, Marshall asked his apprentice to stop and buy some hangover


    medicine for him.


    Although he was not drunk, he had consumed a fair amount of alcohol and was feeling a little


    ufortable.


    After his apprentice got out of the car, Marshall leaned back in his seat, lost in thought.


    Not far away, a young couple walked together. The woman was pregnant, and her belly had a visible


    bump. She was walking slowly, while the man seemed a little impatient, asionally turning around to


    mutter something.


    Marshall had no idea what the woman said in response, but the man looked somewhat angry and


    walked quite a distance without turning around anymore.


    The woman stood on the sidewalk, looking sad. Then, she gently ced her hand under her belly and


    slowly walked down the steps.


    The man then returned to support her, but Marshall’s gaze remained fixed on that woman.


    He watched the woman, and for some reason, he thought of how Ste instinctively held her belly


    when walking down the stairs earlier that day. ’
