My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)
Chapter 82 A Lonely Birthday

"Richard, you are here. Thank you for coming to see me. I'm fine." Allison struggled to sit up, but she could not get up since she was too weak.

"Yes, I am here to see you. I'm your friend. Of course I will come to see you. Allison, I'm so worried about you. Just think about Mrs. Field. She has taken care of you for more than twenty years. And think about your family. Everyone will be sad if you refuse to eat." Richard sat beside Allison. He wanted to persuade her from hunger strike.

"Richard, what's the point of living if you don't care about me anymore? You're the only man I like in the world, but you lied to me. You promised to wait for me, but you got married with another girl before I came back. Now I'm devastated. What should I do then?" Allison spoke a lot without pausing. She felt exhausted since she had not eaten anything for a few days.

Allison suddenly began to cough. It seemed that she choked because she had spoken too much.

Tracy hurriedly came up to Allison and patted Allison on her back. But Richard didn't. Allison knew that if it was in the past, Richard would have felt heartache for her and patted her on her back at once. However, Richard was just watching as Tracy patted Allison on her back. He had no intention of helping her at all.

"Allison, we should just move on instead of dwelling on the past. You're still young, and there are many nice guys out there for you. I came here today to tell you and your mother that I'm married now, and I'm not going to get a divorce." Seeing what had happened today, Richard felt that he had to explain things clearly.

"Mrs. Field, I want to tell you, no matter what you will think of me, I am married now. I am responsible for my wife. Allison and I are over and we will never get back again. Let's just let the past rest. Do you agree on what I said?" Richard said seriously.

He could not deny the fact that he should be blamed for not telling Allison he was married in the first place. He had been too indecisive. But now he wanted to make it clear to Allison that he was married, and that she should accept the reality.

Well, Allison felt as if somebody just stabbed her in the heart violently. She wondered why the world was so unfair. First, Andy told her that he already had a girl in his heart, so he could not be Allison's boyfriend.

Then, Richard, the man who used to love her wholeheartedly, had also fallen in love with someone else. Allison thought she was really too unlucky.

But Allison told herself that she must at least make one of the two most outstanding men in R City her boyfriend no matter what. Andy was never interested in her, so Richard was a better choice. Richard had once cared about her, so she thought perhaps he was just enchanted at the moment.

"Richard, I won't pester you anymore. Don't worry, I still have my pride." Allison turned her head away, trying to show Richard she was strong.

If she couldn't get Richard to divorce Amy, she would try persuading Amy into divorcing Richard. Allison did not think that Amy trusted Richard so much.

Richard had decided that he should tell Allison the harsh truth, but he still felt bad as he saw Allison's tears.

"Well, Allison, please take good care of yourself. You shouldn't refuse to eat anymore. Be strong." Richard didn't know what to say in the end. After all, he was surprised that Allison accepted his words so quickly.

"I know how to take care of myself. Richard, don't worry about me. Just go!" Allison tried hard to hold back her tears. She told herself that she couldn't fail. She definitely couldn't fail.

Richard looked at the Fields and said goodbye to them. Then, he left without looking back. He had made himself very clear this time. There was no way back. He was married to Amy and decided to be loyal to her.

Just as he went back to the company, he got a call from the French branch. They said that there was an urgent case in France and asked Richard to go there immediately.

Richard had originally planned to go home and meet Amy, but the call forced him to postpone explaining everything to Amy again.

He did not have time to go back home. He immediately booked a flight ticket and set off for France.

Amy had been busy lately, as she spent all her daytime hours on translating documents. Richard had told her not to go to HD Group for the time being, and she was okay with that. She was going to resign and she didn't want to see Allison anyway.

Recently, neither Hannah nor Hilary had contacted her. Amy did not know why, but she could not get through to them on the phone. She was quite anxious, but there was nothing she could do about it. She could just try to immerse herself in her work.

Amy's birthday was coming soon, but she felt that she might have to celebrate her birthday alone this year. She lost touch with everyone, as if they had never been to her world.

Finally, her birthday came. In the early morning, Amy got a phone call from her father. He wished her a happy birthday.

It was just a call, but Amy was overjoyed. She was grateful to him for remembering her birthday.

Amy was in a much better mood, after chatting with Stephen for a while. She also needed to hand in the documents she had translated today. After changing her clothes and having her breakfast, it was time for her to head out.

"Mrs. Car... Amy, are you going out again today?" Seeing that Amy was changing her shoes, Robin asked.

Robin could feel that Amy was probably very busy lately. She had locked herself in her room every day, so he did not know what she was doing.

"Yes, I'm. I won't be back for lunch." Since it was her birthday today, Amy decided to go to the apartment she just rented to celebrate her birthday by herself.

"Okay, I got it. Take care of yourself then." Robin parted his lips, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Amy had not seen Richard since he announced that she was his wife.

Sometimes, Amy had almost forgotten that she had a husband.

She thought that Richard was probably thinking how to end his contract with her earlier. In fact, she did not care about that very much. She just thought that Richard should tell her frankly, since she had prepared herself being kicked out at any time.

After arriving at SY Company, Amy handed the documents she translated to Erin and asked him if there were new tasks for her.

"Erin, you haven't given me any new task yet." After waiting for a while, Amy found that Erin had no intention of giving her anything new.

"Oh, sorry. I forgot it. I don't have them either. The client hasn't given them to me. How about I give you his address, and you can go replace him yourself?" Erin took out a pen and wrote down an address on a note for Amy.

"By the way, Amy, you'd better take a taxi there today since the client said it was urgent. I'll reimburse the cost for you later." Erin emphasized on that.

"Oh, I see. I'll go now." In fact, Amy felt that Erin was being too generous to her.

After she got the address, she took a taxi and went there.
