After landing at the airport, Cassie didn't move. As all the passengers left, Roy left the room for captains and picked her up in the first-class cabin.
Cassie just looked at her, thinking he looked more handsome in uniforms.
"Let's go." Roy waved hands to her, and the smile appeared again.
He hadn't smiled in this way since he entered the Runestone Group. Today his smile was so bright that Cassie thought she had seen Roy, who she had met for the first time. Now he left the Runestone Group and became a captain again. No wonder the smile was so sincere.
She gave out her hands, and Roy just clenched them.
Roy chose France as the place for their honeymoon journey since his company adjusted his airline, and he mainly flew around France.
At dusk, Roy drove to the town. Life was easy here. After coming back to the hotel and having a rest, Roy took her out to have dinner.
The restaurant was familiar to Cassie. She had been here.
It was one year later when they were here again.
Coming here, everything occurred to her mind. One year ago, she went there to study as a staff in the Runestone Group in this restaurant. She had quarrels with Roy one year ago, and she came here again and spent the honeymoon journey with Roy.
It was so hard to predict everything in advance.
Actually, God arranged the road for everyone, but they didn't know it at all. Roy was also familiar with it. It was unlike in New York, where good restaurants always required ordering in advance, so he didn't order ahead of time and just took Cassie there.
However, many people were in the restaurant, and even the band got excited.
Roy asked to book the whole restaurant with extra money, but the boss was in a dilemma and said that if it were usual, there would be no issues, but today someone got married, so it would not be so suitable.
Roy didn't force him but asked what Cassie thought of it. He would choose another restaurant if she hated that there were so many people.
The bridegroom was kissing the bride not far away from them. The youngsters were shouting and cheering. Obviously, the ceremony was finished in the afternoon, and then it was time for dancing over the night.
Cassie shook her head. Looking at the crowd, she said, "It is so lucky that we can witness such a beautiful wedding. There is no need to change to another restaurant. Just be there."
Roy respected her totally, so he agreed.
Cassie didn't care what he ordered, and she mainly focused on the new couple. She could understand some French, but she couldn't speak. From their laughing speech, she knew that the couple was the first love of each other, and today they got married.
First Love.
First love was beautiful.
People put all the expectations and trials on first love, which was often just like bright and sweet sugar. When they open it, they can feel light lemon sweetness. It was the most natural love with no other aims.
For the first love, they would only express themselves like the other. Like was love at that time.
Cassie thought of Fredrick suddenly. Fredrick was her first love, and she was also Fredrick's first love.
During the last several years, the most important person in her life was Fredrick, except for her parents. He carried her expectation and hope for the future and happiness.
However, the last one who was beside her was Roy, who had known her for only one year.
There was no accuracy or wrong in love, but whether two were suitable or not mattered.
She could clearly remember the words Fredrick said while pursuing. He said, "Cassie, I love you. Please just hand in your future to me."
She suddenly felt warm on her shoulder, and she found that Roy held her.
Looking at his face, Cassie was a little confused. Marriage was so sudden for her, and even today, she nearly forgot the fact that she had married him.
"Cassie." Roy embraced her and murmured in a low voice, "I will love you for the rest of my life."
Cassie's heart beat abnormally in this way.

The rain didn't stop.
When it was already 10 a.m., the rain was still heavy.
Joseph didn't come back, and he only took a phone. The key, wallet, and his private phone were still on the table.
Irish didn't know where he went and what he did. She was just immersed in deep thinking. Her tears nearly got dry, and Joseph's words hung in her mind.
Later she called Jay.
On the phone, Jay's voice sounded unhappy, so she just asked something about her uncle's illness. Jay just sighed and said, "Doctor advises him not to have surgery again since the cancer cell multiplies quickly, and it will be very dangerous. The only way is the mixture of chemotherapy and rest."
Irish said that no matter how much it cost, treatment was necessary.
After a while, Jay kept silent, saying, "Actually, I have discussed it with my mother, and we agreed to give up the chemotherapy."
Irish scolded Jay. She didn't agree with that.
Jay let her calm down and just said, "Now my father doesn't know anything about his illness, and the whole family cheats him that it is just tuberculosis, so he will not question why he coughs and gets a high fever. I understand your feeling, and at the very beginning, I also had the same thought as you, but you can never imagine the pain of doing chemotherapy. It hurts not only a man's body but his mentality. It will be better for my father to spend his last three months being happy than doing chemotherapy. It is not an issue of money, but the issue of whether we can bear the pain of seeing him being suffered."
As she hung up, she totally broke down.
She understood Jay's words and his choice.
In this world, there are a lot of things to hide, a lot of lies need to be covered up in a very beautiful way, and a lot of decisions have to be made in mind.
This is life. The more you experience, the more you endure.
The doorbell rang.
Irish opened the door. That was Daisy, and she brought snacks. "Although it is easy to gain weight after ten o'clock, I think you should eat something. You didn't eat much at dinner." Daisy said as she put down the food. She looked up and saw her red and swollen eyes, startled.
In her impression, Irish had always been full of energy. Even if there were sad things, she did not see her tears.
"I already know about your uncle. Before Mr. Dover came to you, he had called back to New York to acknowledge the situation. I was also ordered to find the best Doctor." Daisy said.
Irish nodded gently. "Thank you, Daisy."
"I'm just doing what I've been told. The one who can accept your thanks is Mr. Dover." Daisy saw that she was in a sickly mood and tentatively said something.
Irish was silent.
Daisy understood and also knew why Joseph had gone out with a gloomy face.
"Come on, eat something." Daisy put the snacks in front of her one by one on a plate delivered by the hotel.
