If she had to choose between him and Zedd to hate, it would definitely be him. He was the one who pulled her apathetic self to the mundane world, the one who shattered her quiet life, also the one who lifted her up to the heavens only to hurl her down to hell!
She hated him!
Her fingernails impaled her palms that were hidden behind him. Though she had expected it, emotions surged through her the moment they faced each other.
"Let's get married after you give birth, Laurie!"
"Happy birthday! Tonight, Rose No. 10 in Roman Western Restaurant at eight. I have a surprise for you..."
"We've all bet on it. It doesn't count even if you two have a baby. You have to really have to pick this 'Poison Rose'! My Goddess Vodka; my hawkeye; my one million dollars..."
"You're not going to make her admit her love for you and kiss for three minutes in front of everyone tonight, are you?"
"Cloud's calling him on the phone, isn't it?"
"She is pregnant, yet we bet on her! If she knows Willy's been faking everything and that we have other intentions, the party today is also because of our bet and fooling her..."
"Your birthday is coming next week. I've arranged a small, quiet party. Let's celebrate together then?"
"Happy birthday..."
Past events overwhelmed her mind as though they had only happened yesterday, and Lauren's hatred snowballed more and more, on the verge of exploding.
Willy was also emotional at the same time. However, for a more positive reason.
The figure he had been dreaming about day and night was clearly outlined in front of his eyes. It felt dreamlike but at the same time inexplicably invigorating. The two were silent for quite some time; Willy's chest heaved, eyes bloodshot. He didn't dare loosen his grip on her; his raised hand was also visibly shaking.
"L-Laurie?"
He had used all his strength to call out to her. Right then, no words were enough to express the complicated feeling of regaining what was once lost.
However, the familiar voice was like a stab to Lauren's heart, bloody, and it shot her back to reality, rendering hatred flash across her mind in a split second.
Willy didn't know Lauren's birth name was actually Yesmine Luther and that her childhood name was Laurie. Her father was a big shot, but he had an affair outside his marriage. Her mother felt hurt, and she died in an accident once on her way to look for him. However, her father married that mistress not too long after her mother's passing. Because of that, she loathed her father and the Luther family, a family who could do anything and everything they wanted, and was even ashamed to be a Luther.
Even if her father threatened to cut off her allowance and reprimanded her for her insolence, she insisted on changing her name to Lauren Heady, her childhood name, and her mother's maiden name. Every wonderful memory was given by her mother, and her life, from the moment she uses the name, no longer had anything to do with that family anymore!
Although Lauren Heady's life was lonesome, monotonous, and even poor, she did not lack happiness.
But he, he reshaped her back to Yesmine, ruined her life completely, and even forced her to seek help from Elijah, forced her to suffer all of this as a member of the Luther family.
She hated him! Loathed him!
However, she still gave him a polite smile when she was done and made her way to the elevator, past Willy, who was still having difficulty processing the matter. Just as she stepped into the elevator, her hand was grabbed, and she was outside again the next second.
"Ouch! What are you doing, Master Bowles?"
As she was dragged aside again, she unconsciously frowned as she rubbed her wrist.
"You know me? You're Laurie, my Laurie, right?" Willy excitedly said as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
However, before he had time to straighten his thoughts, she giggled. "You sure have a good sense of humor, Master Bowels."
Lowering her head to conceal her split second of sadness, Lauren smiled softly and hooked her arms around his neck as she looked up, obviously frivolous.
"Who doesn't know Master Bowels of the famous Four Great Masters of Casterwich City? Is it that strange for me to know who you are? Laurie?"
Mumbling playfully, she even deliberately looked straight into his eyes. "Is she your beloved?"
Their eyes were fixed on each other. One gaze, it felt as though a century had passed.
A little ruffled, she averted her gaze and leaned closer to his ear.
"I'm Yesmine Luther, professionally known as Tevye, a voice actor! Many do call me Laurie or Lauren, saying I have an ethereal voice. I have also been told that my voice is 'special'. But if it makes you happy, I don't mind being your Laurie!"
