Chapter 212

Seeing Kieran’s gaze land on the table next to them, Julie asked him with a touch of surprise, “You didn’t hide the diamond ring in the cake, did you?”

“If I did that, you’d probably swallow the diamond ring thinking it’s a piece of chocolate. Do you really think I’d do something that dumb?” He wrapped an arm around her waist and looked down at her.

Julie was a little embarrassed. “Isn’t that what happens in the TV shows?” she replied.

“Do you think I’d just copy what they do on TV?”

Julie nodded seriously. “Good point! So what’s the surprise?”

“There aren’t any other customers in the restaurant. Not because I rented the whole place, but because…” He paused, then said, “I bought this restaurant.”

After Kieran finished, the curtains in the entire restaurant instantly drew back. Karl, dressed as a waiter, approached Julie with a large folder in his hands. “Mrs. Hernandez, these are all the necessary paperwork. You just need to sign.”

“Didn’t you always dream of owning a restaurant filled with delicious food? Didn’t you want to learn how to make all kinds of beautiful cakes?” Kieran pointed to a line of people in chef uniforms standing behind Karl, smiling. “These are all the pastry chefs and cooks you just picked out, your favorites.”

So, that’s why he just gave her a taste test? Turns out, in his eyes, the focus of the video wasn’t the song Greensleeves, but her original dream.

Julie gazed at Kieran, dumbstruck.

“Mrs. Hernandez, I’m not fooling you this time. You can sign without worry.” He handed her a pen, grinning.

She held the pen but didn’t move, until Kieran took the contracts from Karl and spread them before her. “My dear, I’m entrusting my stomach and my future to you.”

Finally snapping back to reality, Julie wiped her moist eyes and laughed. “Who wants your stomach?”

She signed. Before Kieran could even put away the documents, Julie had already thrown herself into his arms.

“Thank you, Kieran.” She thanked him, not just for the restaurant.

What made her feel grateful wasn’t just becoming the owner of the restaurant from that moment on, but also forgiving him after all the hardships, and forgiving

herself.

What can’t be forgotten are memories. Only what’s been forgiven can be the past.

Julie was grateful that Ivan was growing up safely; that the man she’d loved since she was a girl was standing before her, and her friends were still accompanying her; that although Kieran’s cruel choice had brought her some difficulties, at least she was still alive. Dr. Brice said, even though the chances were slim, if they persevered, Sansa could wake up.

She had just lost a few years, endured a few years of hardship, but didn’t need to remember the painful past for the rest of her life…

Kieran held her tight. He wanted to give her the best things in the world.
