President's Substitute Wife

“I’m fine.” I lowered my eyes and looked at the wound on my hand.

My heart hurt.

So I couldn’t even feel the pain in my fingers.

Ming took a band aid out of his pocket and put it on me. He accused me, “you’re a designer. The designer’s hand is as important as the face.”

I looked down slightly.

Ming seemed to realize my frustration. He patted me on the head. “Can’t you forget him?”

I didn’t speak. I didn’t even change my face.

But my heart couldn’t fool me.

Ming held me in his arms and patted me on the back. “I know I’m not him, and I can’t be him, but I will do my best to you. There will never be a third person between us.”

This was the best promise for me.

There would never be a third person between us.

It was like a sarcastic remark about Sean and me.

There was always a third person between him and me.

So our relationship was so crowded and awkward.

Ming could always find a good point and let me persuade myself to let go.

I was in his arms.

The warmth of Ming was like the sunshine at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. It was warm but it didn’t burn me.

Maybe this was the best.

I made up my mind and hugged him, “give me time. I will certainly forget him.”

“Take your time.”

With that, I felt a kiss fall on my head.

It was very light.

I shivered a little, but I didn’t refuse.

When Ming was cleaning up the debris underground, I looked at the black coffee cup. I thought about it for a while and decided to put it aside on the cupboard.
