Chapter 512 For Suny
Beside them, Suny and Lily both did not speak, just silently looking at the tombstone in front of them.
Charlie has not had a drink for a long time, when he was young, he liked to drink, but he always restrained, after middle age, a good family, more the old Mrs. Murphy control, he did not have many opportunities to drink, and then after his wife was diagnosed with cancer, he did not drink, until today.
The assistant brought a bottle of white wine from the Murphy family that was hidden inside the cabinet, is Charlie’s favorite drink a white wine, more than twenty years, and then taste this taste, Charlie first felt that this wine spicy hard to get into the throat, but also so.
With just one sip, Charlie re-passed the wine to the assistant on the side.
Suny looked up slightly at Charlie: “Grandpa let’s go back?”
Hearing Suny’s words, Charlie gave her a sideways glance and nodded.
The group turned around and headed out of the cemetery. Two bouquets of flowers were left in front of the headstone, proving that someone had been there.
From the cemetery back to the city, the time is also still quite early, not yet dinner time.
Suny simply took Charlie and Lily to a famous spot in C City to watch the sunset.
Sunsets are world-famous, and the sunsets are beautiful in spring, summer, autumn and winter.
After coming out of the cemetery, Charlie was not in a good mood, but Suny was fine.
It’s been nearly ten years since her parents’ accident, and she has long since accepted this harsh truth.
The car arrived at the foot of the mountain at exactly 5:00 p. m. The sun was still high in the sky, the sky was still very bright, and the sun was still warm.
Suny got out of the car with an umbrella and helped Charlie walk to the cable car ticket office to buy tickets.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
On weekends many people like to come in groups to this mountain to climb camping, from the foot of the mountain to the top more than three hours to walk, in fact, is not far, but today it is too late, not to mention Charlie’s legs are not good, take the cable car up is the most convenient.
A group of people to the top of the mountain when the time is still early, many young people to camp on the top of the mountain, summer time, returning from vacation college and high school students like to come over here camping, watching the sunset in the evening, at night when the game together to see the stars, the next day to sleep until natural awakening, get up to eat some compressed cookies, and then all together down the mountain back home, is not a happy thing.
When Suny was in high school, she and Alicia also came to this camping area. The starry sky was very beautiful after nightfall, and there were many people who came to camp, and the camping area was especially busy at night.
There was a volunteer guide introducing the mountain, and Suny went aside to find an open space for Charlie and Lily to sit down. The three of them were separated by a few meters, comfortably blowing the cool mountain breeze and listening to the guide’s explanation.
“This mountain, too, is interesting.”
After coming out of the cemetery, Charlie’s mood has been bad, and this moment he rarely spoke up.
Suny hooked her lips and smiled, telling him about her childhood: “When I was five years old, my mom and dad climbed this mountain, there was no cable car at that time, I felt tired halfway up, my dad carried me up.”
That was the first time Suny watched the sunrise, five years old, she was not clear on the concept of sunrise, only know that they stood on the top of that mountain, look past the eyes are full of orange light, a cloud in those light surging, beautiful and shocking.
For many years afterwards, dusk represented beauty for Suny.
The assistant thoughtfully bought water from a kiosk not far away. Suny took a sip and looked at the time, it was already 5:30, and in another half hour, the sun would go down.
Charlie likes to hear about Suny’s childhood, Suny picked some interesting things to say one by one, and in a flash, more than half an hour has passed.
The sky at a quarter to six was not as bright as it had been when it arrived, and the distant sky began to be paved with orange light.
In front of a number of photographers have fixed the camera tools, is debugging ready to shoot.
By this time, there were also a little more people at the top of the mountain than when they first arrived and a half, and they were sitting on the ground like this, and when they looked up, they could only see heads of people.
Suny helped Charlie get up and a few people moved forward a little: “Uncle Hamish, would you please help Grandpa?”
With so many people around, it would be safer for Hamish to hold on than for her to hold on.
Hamish heard Suny’s words and hurriedly put down what he was holding and came forward to support Charlie on the other side.
Lily stood beside Suny, by this time, the sun had gradually started to set, and the evening sunset in the distance was getting better and better, she couldn’t help but feel a sentence: “No wonder so many people like to watch the sunset.”
Suny inclined her head and gave Lily a look, “Haven’t auntie and uncle seen it?”
Lily hummed and laughed: “He’s ah, dumb and dumber, where’s the romance in that.”
Suny thought of Walter and felt the same.
At this point, Charlie interjected, “Robert is still not the same idiot!”
If it weren’t for idiots, after all these years, it would still be a loner.
Charlie gets annoyed when he thinks of this grandson of his.
Lily is also helpless: “Both fathers and sons are the same.”
Charlie grunted, “That’s not how I am, Lily you can’t blame me.”
Lily smiled, “Of course you’re not, Dad, Mom used to brag to me about you all the time.”
“Oh, what did she compliment me on?”
Lily laughed a little: “She boasted that when you first met her, you gave her a book, said that when you would fall in love, every time you met, you would bring her a little surprise, sometimes small wild flowers in the mountains, sometimes it is not sure how much money you have saved to buy hair accessories … ”
Lily’s comment surprised Suny, she always thought her grandfather was a straightforward man after so many years as a soldier, but I never thought that when he was young, he would be so “flirtatious”.
What Lily said were the old Mrs. Murphy’s original words, and Suny could hear that although it was just some insignificant little things, in the old Mrs. Murphy’s opinion, they were all little bits and pieces of Charlie’s love for her.
Somewhat unexpectedly by the grandparents’ love show.
Suny curled her lips, but her heart was happy.
She smiled slightly down and looked up, only to meet the eyes of a man.
At a distance of seven or eight meters, a man in a baseball outfit was looking straight at her, and when he saw Suny looking over, the man raised his eyebrows.
The smile on Suny’s face faded for a moment as he withdrew his eyes and looked ahead again.
Sylvie Newman sensed the distraction of Dominic Hughes beside her and was a little disconcerted: “What are you looking at?”
Only when he heard Sylvie’s words did Dominic withdraw his gaze and cast a careless glance at her, “Nothing.”
Sylvie looked in the direction Dominic had just looked, trying to find something, but found nothing. She grunted in dissatisfaction, “You promised to accompany me today.”
Dominic frowned a little impatiently, “So what? If I hadn’t given your brother face, do you think I would have shown up here today?”
Sylvie choked on Dominic and her face turned a little red with anger, “You-”
Dominic, however, didn’t care about her at all, “Not looking? Then I’m leaving.”
Seeing that he was leaving, Sylvie instantly compromised: “Look, look before you go!”
Rumor has it that by bringing the person you like to the mountain to watch a sunset and then sincerely meditating on the two being together, the two can be together forever.
Sylvie in the end is still too naive, after all, the sunset is infinite, just near dusk.
O dusk, so fleeting in existence, where does eternity come from?
