“The bar?” I blurted out before Dennis could speak, my subconscious mind overwhelmed with memories of that rainy season.


    This time the pat on the shoulder is more obvious, can confirm Dennis’s intention to soothe, but I just look at rie can not open his eyes, do not do any reaction.


    Diana was like a seed that had fallen off a cliff. She was independent and became an adult, and became the youngest bar owner in Newton Town.


    It’s just that fate didn’t show Diana any mercy in the end, and she fell at the best age.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    The thought of this makes the heart feel like it’s being tied up in vines, trapped and suffocated.


    I was afraid that rie would follow the same path as Diana, open a bar, be a boss, meet a selfish and sophomoric man, and dy her life.


    “Yes mom.” rie had light in her eyes, zing and sincere, “When I was abroad, I also went to many bars with my ssmates and have been very interested, I hope to build a ce simr to a club, which can maintain the atmosphere and ensure privacy, where customers can both enjoy rxing and talk about secretive topics without fear, before I have investigated the relevant data on the inte I found that there are no suchprehensive bars in China, so there should be a great prospect for development.”


    Folly was overjoyed, “Girl, you’re a pleasant surprise, bold and to my liking! I vote for this project!”


    Brady propped up his chin against the back of the sofa, actually did not oppose her, but always looked in the direction of rie, the eyes of the shrewd call out, small calctions are all written on the face.


    ording to this person’s style of action, if they really look at rie, will certainly take advantage of Folly’s time to take care of the side attack, probably in the end Folly even when they lost, lost in where do not know.


    This was all an afterthought, right now I was only concerned about rie’s heart, more nervous than anyone else in the room, yet afraid that the child would see it, clumsily suppressing it, barely keeping my voice calm, and asking, “rie, tell mommy, is there any other reason you want to open a bar for business than because you like it?”


    Asking the question out loud, I couldn’t help but squeeze my palms together, dreading to hear the imaginary answer – she knew.


    About her life, about Diana, and about Diana’s life that ended abruptly.


    However, rie kept a smile in her eyes and simply looked at me, her emotions did not change much, and said sincerely, “Mom, liking is not enough, this is the second thing I like to do besides math, can I do it?”


    At that moment I was staring at rie’s face as if I was suddenly lost in thought. The faces of Diana and rie kept ovepping and scattering, as if there was no limitation of time and space, and the person sitting in front of me was not rie but Diana.


    “You know what ra, I like to be in the light, sometimes awake and sometimes confused, that will let me forget a lot of anxiety, and asionally, I can see the people I have missed for a long time. ”


    Diana convinced me with these words back then.


    Because she liked it, I supported it, and her liking sent her to Mario’s bed without ever experiencing what it was like to be truly loved until her death.


    Even now, everyone is at peace, but I always have a thorn in my heart, deep-rooted, will never be removed.


    My eyes were fogged over and I couldn’t tell reality from illusion. As a good mother I should support my child’s chosen dream, but there was an invisible force that seemed to suppress and control it so that I couldn’t speak.


    Maybe it’s a meditation that Diana has the same idea as I do, it must be.


    “Your thoughts are understood by Mom and me.”


    Dennis’s familiar low voice came into my ears, I gradually came back to my senses, and the next second, his big hand came up, wrapped my hand in the whole hand, naturally pulled it over and put it on hisp to y with it.


    “But opening a bar is not as simple as you think, basic investment aside, those hidden under the surface of theplex rtionship, it is difficult to figure out for a while, or let you Uncle Toby to find out clearly, from the long term, how?”


    rie, unlike Snowy, was not a man who would not give up until he got what he wanted, but instead was very talkative and epted calmly, “As you wish.”


    “Hmm.” Dennis responded lightly and added, “Since you are bored at home, thepany happens to have a project for Culture City, why don’t you coordinate it for dad?”


    “Of course.” rie still smiled as if there was nothing to be upset about in her case, “But I want Mr. Alton to help me, is that okay?”


    She was talking about Mario, who, after sending rie back, rented a house in City P. He would visit the children daily, but would not stay long.


    Dennis was quick to delegate authority, “Your project, your call.”


    With that he pulled me back into the room, “If you need anything go straight to you Uncle Toby.”


    “Got it, thanks daddy, good night mommy.”


    “Good night.” Dazed, she responded to the thoughtful greeting behind her in a voice a little louder than a kitten’s, but her body let Dennis drag her toward the stairs.


    Unlocking the door to the room, Dennis led me into the bathroom.


    Without saying a word, I began to undress my body.


    Honestly, he turned on the shower and tested the water temperature in his palm before lifting it up over my head again.


    The warm drops of water kept sliding down, the touch from the man’s fingers rubbed back and forth on the head, and the tingling warmth made me forget to even resist.


    Drying off, Dennis wrapped me in a towel and carried me back to the bedroom, lifted the covers and gentlyid me on the bed before going around and holding me from behind.


    The body is as light as water and unconsciously leaned towards him.


    “Why are you being so nice to me today?” I asked out loud.


    Dennis’ voice was a little husky, “Aren’t I this good every day?”


    “It’s not the same.” The corners of his mouth hooked up slightly, relieved and rxed, “Before you all just wanted to take advantage.”


    “Then consider this my whim for the day and do the same for Willow.” Dennis adjusted his posture and buried his chin in the nape of my neck.


    I vaguely feel that he is aware that I am about to lose control of my emotions, so he will use silent action, little by little to disintegrate the beast that will wake up in my heart.


    But the matter is not so important whether it is or not, Dennis let me know very clearly, and he stayed with him, even if nothing to say, the trouble will be solved.


    Calmly, instead, I was able to talk calmly about rie’s decision, “Are you really going to support rie in opening a bar?”


    Dennis is not some smooth and worldly fox who says one thing about everything and does not explicitly deny it, which is actually disguised as support.


    “ra,” he called out to me suddenly, taking a deep breath.


    “Hmm?” I asked, “What?”


    “rie has the right to decide how she wants to live her life.”
