I’m Someone Else

Chapter 286

Thomas let out a sigh. He decided that he wouldn’t place the cremains of Chloe’s mother back in the cemetery. Instead, he would find a nicer place and bury the urn.

Soon, he arrived at the apartment and entered the rented house with the urn.

As soon as he stepped inside, Adam approached him with agitation. He extended his wrinkled hands and touched the urn, tears already sliding down his face. “You’re finally back, my wife.”

Although his hands were coarse, he was gentle. It was as if he was touching the skin of the woman he loved instead of a cold, hard urn.

Two minutes later, he finally calmed down. He wiped the tears from his eyes and said, “Show it to Chloe. She is still confining herself to her room.”

Thomas nodded and walked toward Chloe’s room.

The door opened with a creak, and all he could see was darkness. The curtains were drawn, and the lights were off. As such, he couldn’t see anything in the room.

With the help of the light coming from the living room, he walked toward the windows and opened the curtains.

In an instant, the room was filled with dazzling sunlight. It was as if the light dawned on this place after a storm.

Chloe subconsciously covered her eyes, for she wasn’t used to the sunlight.

Without a word, Thomas stood there with the urn in his hands, waiting for the woman to get used to the sunlight.

A minute later, Chloe lowered her hands after adapting to the sunlight. She couldn’t remember how many days she had been living in the darkness.

When she caught sight of the urn in Thomas’ hands, she agitatedly leaped out of the bed and dashed toward the man before she took the urn and bawled her eyes out.

With the urn in her hands, she fell to her bottom and cried out at the top of her lungs, “Mom!”

Thomas couldn’t help but tremble, for he knew this moment was important to Chloe. She could finally put down the burden that had been pressuring her for days. All her feelings were conveyed through her cries.

Following a sigh, Thomas turned around and left the room. He wasn’t a good talker in the first place, so he didn’t know how to placate Chloe. Therefore, he decided to leave the room to give her some space.

Meanwhile, Adam was seen holding a string of beads. It seemed that he was ready to pray for his deceased wife.

“Mr. Hahn, I’ve decided not to place the urn in the cemetery. I’ll be looking for a better place over the next few days. When I find one, we’ll bury the urn.”

“Sure. Thanks for the help, Thomas.” Adam’s eyes were red as he nodded.

For the rest of the day, Thomas stayed in the rented house to keep Adam and Chloe company. It wasn’t until 6.00PM that he left the house and headed to Keyshire Property.

The moment he passed through the entrance, he heard something fall to the floor. He turned around and saw Molly standing near the entrance, and there were some documents in front of her.

Earlier, she had been carrying some documents, ready to return to the office. However, before she even reached the elevator, she saw her dream man, Thomas. As such, she became excited and

accidentally dropped the files.

Thomas smiled and crouched down to pick up the files for her.

Molly did the same and stole glances at him from time to time. It seems that Thomas still cares about me. He’s even willing to pick up the files for me.

In actuality, she was reading too much into it. Thomas would’ve offered the same help if anyone else dropped their files.

Certainly, a woman deep in an unrequited love was sensitive, so it was only natural that she would overanalyze Thomas’ actions.

They then entered the office together. After sorting out the documents, Molly got up from her chair and left the office, for it was time to get off work.

Meanwhile, Olivia was seated in her chair and humming a song, appearing to be at ease.

A curious Thomas asked, “Why do you look so happy today, Olivia?”

“Haha! I forgot to tell you a piece of good news, Thomas.” Olivia then narrated to him what had happened while having the urge to dance in excitement.

It turned out she had managed to retrieve most of the business taken from her by the Pearson Group. Meanwhile, the remaining ones would be returned to her in a few days.

She snorted. “No one can take what is rightfully mine away from me. Moreover, you gave it to me, so no one can touch it!”

Olivia placed her hands on her hips and pouted her red lips, looking domineering.

When Thomas saw the way the woman carried herself, he put on a smile. He had to acknowledge that Olivia was a capable person. At the very least, she was one of the best presidents in the business world, and those from the Pearson Group were unlucky enough to have offended her.

One shouldn’t be fooled by her charming appearance. Given the fact that Rafael had touted the woman to be a business genius, there was no way she was an ordinary person.

They then left the company together. Olivia suggested going to the supermarket to pick up some groceries.

When they returned to the villa, Olivia busied herself in the kitchen. Thomas had offered to help, but the woman turned him down and even came up with a reason that seemed out of place in the modern world. “You’re a man, so you shouldn’t cook. This is what a woman is supposed to do.”

Since the woman appeared determined, Thomas had no choice but to go to the living room and watch a boring television program while waiting for dinner.

A cheerful Olivia prepared dinner and soon placed a lot of dishes on the dining table. She kept placing food on Thomas’ plate while saying, “You have to eat more. This is good for you.”

Thomas was torn between tears and laughter. Food had piled up on his plate, but Olivia continued getting more food for him.

In actuality, he was already full, so he didn’t have much appetite left. However, if he refused to eat, he was worried he would hurt the woman’s feelings. She had been cheerful, and it took her a lot of effort to prepare dinner, after all.

Left with no choice, Thomas could only widen his mouth and pig out on the food on his plate.

After dinner, he returned to his room and practiced martial arts. Since he had eaten so much food, he decided to exercise to help with his digestion.

It wasn’t until the middle of the night that he dozed off.

He had a strange dream where he was stuck in a quagmire, and all he could see was mud. The harder he tried to struggle out of it, the more mud there was around him.
