Rae came downstairs and saw Reuben. Reuben also saw Rae, then he bent down to the passenger seat to get something. He showed up and Rae saw a bouquet of fiery red roses! It was a very large bouquet of roses, about a hundred stems, and there should be like ninety-nine of them!
Rae was so stunned that she stopped. Reuben sent her such an exaggerated bouquet of roses. Did he want to embarrass her in the police bureau?
Now, the whole police station knew that she had become Marcelâs girlfriend in the morning, and then received roses from Reuben, the son of YS Club owner, at noon. She was afraid that the rumors would be spread maliciously. Rae took a deep breath and didnât move.
When Reuben saw her standing still, he walked towards Rae.
The bouquet of fiery red roses in his hand brought a faint fragrance, but Rae frowned.
Reuben walked up to her. He smiled and handed her the bouquet.
Rae didnât take it. âMr. James, thereâs no need for you to do such a childish thing!â
âHeh-heh, Rae. I know youâre an economically rational person and donât want me to waste my money, but thatâs not necessary. Men earn money just for women to spend!â Reuben forcefully shoved the flowers into Raeâs hands.
Rae was stunned. Reuben let go of his hands, and Rae had to hold the bouquet.
Meanwhile, what Marcel saw from upstairs was that Rae had taken the roses. Marcelâs eyes were filled with anger. He clenched his fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were exposed.
But he didnât do anything. He just saw Rae holding the bouquet and got into Reubenâs car.
As soon as Rae got into the car, she threw the flowers on the back seat of his car. Then, she told him solemnly, âSince you have informers in our department, Iâll tell you, we canât be together! I donât remember what happened before, I can take control of my future life, weâre just not destined to be together! So, please donât mention the engagement again, okay? You dare to mention it, Iâm really embarrassed to admit it!â
âUgh! Rae,â As soon as Reuben heard what she said, he was reluctant and said directly, âYou do have an engagement with me, which was set by your dad and my dad together. Now, you can abandon our engagement and fall in love with another man, then why do I need to be embarrassed to mention it? Besides, our relationship is completely above board. The relationship between you and Marcel is a sordid act. In ancient times, you would be considered cheating, and Marcel was considered adultery!â
Rae frowned when she heard this, âI donât want to talk to you. Iâll let my dad talk to your dad. By the way, I came out today to talk to you clearly!
Reuben, youâre being deliberately messing around, really makes me suspect that youâre approaching me with a purpose!â
âWhat do you think I have in mind for you with the way you are now?â
âI donât know!â Rae said matter-of-factly.
Reuben slightly laughed, âOf course you donât know anything. Iâll now take you to where weâve been before! Then, weâll go to have lunch!â
After saying that, Reuben stopped talking. He drove straight to the suburbs. Rae didnât know where he was taking her until they arrived at a villa in the suburbs. It was surrounded by colorful flowers and there were red maple leaves all over the mountains. She couldnât help but praise the beauty of the place!
Reuben drove into a villa, and then he drove directly into the garage under the villa.
Rae was stunned but she remained calm in her heart.
Reuben didnât say anything either. He got out of the car, then opened the car door for Rae.
Rae got down and asked him with a frown, âWhat is this place?â
Reuben didnât answer. He just locked the car, and then said to Rae, âCome up first, see if you can remember anything!â
Rae was even more confused as to what this place was and why Reuben had brought her here!
She followed Reuben out of the garage and walked towards the door of the villa. Just when she reached the door, she saw the door being opened from the inside, and a woman of about fifty years old was standing there. She smiled and looked at Rae. The way she looked at her was warm and benevolent.
âMiss Baxter, I havenât seen you in years, and youâre still so pretty!â The woman said. Her tone was gentle that it was hard to feel offended and even made her feel friendly. Maybe it was because of her warm smile. She smiled at Rae, then looked at Reuben, âSir, the meal is ready!â
âOkay!â Reuben nodded. When he saw Rae was stunned, he explained, âThis is Flora, she has always taken care of me. Seven years ago, she also took care of you! Have you forgotten her?â
In Raeâs mind, it wasnât that she had forgotten Flora, it was that she didnât have Flora in her mind! Even if she thought deeply, she couldn't recall her useless memories!
However, Rae was curious. Perhaps, she could investigate Raeâs past from here, and she might be able to find out the cause of her death. She wouldn't have been Rae for five years in vain.
Flora looked at Rae and smiled, âMiss Baxter, sir has told me that youâve forgotten your past! I feel bad for you. I was wondered why you hadnât visited me all these years, but it turns out you lost your memory after a car accident! It doesnât matter, as long as youâre still alive!â
âFlora, thereâs plenty of time to talk later. You go on with your work, Iâll show Rae around!â Reuben said.
Rae could only smile at Flora as she didnât know what to say. She didnât want to hurt an elder who smiled sincerely at her.
Flora hurriedly said, âOkay, Iâll carry on with my work. When you are done eating, leave your plates on the table and I will clean up!â
Then, Flora left.
This villa was large and spacious.
When Rae walked in, she saw the design of the house was fashionable, modern, and simplicity. The sofa was amazingly huge and brightly colored.
The design made people feel stylish, youthful, and full of vigor! The window screens were printed with roses. The tablecloth and the furniture were all in girlish style!
Reuben let her in. Rae looked around at the furnishings, and she was a little puzzled. She didn't take a step for a moment and froze in the doorway.
Reuben didnât rush her, he just said, âDo you feel anything when you see everything here?â
Rae was stunned for a while. She looked again, and then she said, âThis place is full of vigor!â
When Reuben heard this, he suddenly smiled, only there was a faint sadness in his smile. He said, âRae, you really forgot, didnât you?â
There was a subconscious thought in Rae's mind that this place had something to do with the real Rae. But, how could she know that, so she could only answer, "Sorry!â
Reuben felt helpless to hear her apology, and he said, âYou chose the window screens, the furniture, the sofa, and everything here! You have no impression at all, even you forgot Flora!â
Only now did Rae realize!
At that time, Rae was eighteen years old!
She was a girl who just came of age. She was young and vigorous, the furniture she chose would certainly be as vigorous as she was.
But Rae also thought of five years ago when she first impersonated her. She went into her room, and the room was black and white, with no extra colors. At that time, she thought she had entered a manâs room. If it werenât for the things and photos of Rae on the table, she would really have thought she had entered a man's room!
However, now that she saw the color tone of the decorations of the house that Reuben showed her were all in girlish style, Rae suddenly felt very sad. It was the kind of sadness that couldnât be described in words. She just inexplicably wanted to cry and felt so heartbroken!
She didnât know why she was like this, she just felt heartbroken and miserable!
She turned away her face to hide her unnaturalness.
Reuben suddenly spoke up, âWhat did you think of?â
When Rae heard his words, she immediately thought that he might misunderstand her behavior, she immediately said, âNothing, I just suddenly felt inexplicably sad!â
She didnât lie as she just said what she really felt.
But Reuben seemed to misunderstand even more as he laughed, âRae, I think itâs worthwhile to bring you here!â
Rae didnât answer.
âCome in, letâs have a meal together!â This time, Reuben was gentle, not sarcastic. His tone was gentle, like a man speaking to his lover, so soft and sweet.
Rae was a little uncomfortable. But she really wanted to know Raeâs secret, so she couldnât resist walking in.
The tablecloth of the dining table was so cute. There were many dishes on it, and they all looked delicious. It wasnât Chinese cuisine, but rather like French cuisine with foie gras, caviar, and red wine. There were two wine glasses on the table and a vase with three lilies that smelled fragrant.
Rae stood in front of the table. Reuben pulled out the dining chair for her, âPlease sit!â
Rae sat down, and she had mixed feelings.
Reuben also sat down, next to Rae, so it might be easier for him to take care of her.
Reuben poured a glass of wine for Rae and then one for himself.
He lifted his glass and wanted to clink it with Rae.
Rae said, âI canât drink!â

Predestined Marriage âYou said the same thing seven years ago!â Reuben said, âNow, itâs still the same. Rae, youâre so cute!â
Rae blushed and shook her head. âI really canât drink, and Iâm not in the mood to eat. So youâd better just say your purpose! I donât think thereâs a need for us to eat!â
Reuben wasnât in a hurry. He drank a glass of wine, and then picked up his knife and fork and began to eat. Rae could only be anxious but couldnât do anything about it.
Reuben ate a slice of foie gras unhurriedly, and then he looked at Rae, âRae, during the seven years I was abroad, I hated you so much that I wished I could have killed you!â
Rae was shocked, but she didnât say anything.
âI thought about this place all those years I was abroad. I was thinking about how you used to tell me coyly that you loved me and about all those months we spent together. I really canât think of what I did wrong that you needed to betray me so desperately!â Reubenâs tone at this point was so sad that it seemed to overshadow his previous spiritedness. He looked to have a sense of pathos and decadence.
Rae lowered her head and asked softly, âYou said I betrayed you, do you know which was that person at that time?â
Reuben suddenly laughed, and his laugh seemed to be self-deprecating, âDo you think I still have to ask for proof?â
âSo you donât have any definite evidence at all?â Rae was a bit stunned. âReuben wouldnât have gone abroad before he got any proof that Rae had betrayed him, would he?â
Reuben led Rae upstairs, and Rae followed his pace. His footsteps were firm as he walked upstairs step by step. Rae followed him unhurriedly. The staircase wasnât long, and soon they reached the second floor. The corridor was hung with scenery paintings that young girls liked.
