Chapter 243 - Bright Side.

Lily shyly looks at the ground. She really likes her like how she likes Luna. But, this girl…she deserves someone better. Someone who will love her and treasure her.

She has been through such a hardship to be able to be free like this now. She shouldn't entangle with her father anymore. "Do you…ever heard about the bird story from the Greek myth, Caitlin?" She asked.

"Um...I think I've heard it when I was a child. Why?" Caitlin tries to remember the story of that bluebird. It's a sad story, but why she suddenly bring that up?

"Well, I have an adult friend. He tells me about that story. He says that his life is quite similar to the bird story from the Greek myth."

"Mhm?" Caitlin listens to her well.

"He said that his wing had been broken as his lover die. So, he can't even fly into the sky again. It made me sad. Why can't he fly again? Why is this world too cruel to him, and why does someone dare to broke his wing? Why they always being selfish without thinking of another person's feelings?" She starts to teary a bit.

Caitlin looks at the vast sky. Searching the best answer to her question. "Do you know how many birds in this world has broken wings?"

Shakes her head, Lily said, "No."

"Me neither. But, you see Lily..this world is vast. If he can't fly into the sky again, then why not he explore the land? There are so many fun things he can do in the land, right?"

Lily wipe her corner of eyes and squint her eyes a bit.

"We may think, he's pitiful..he can't fly again because of his wings is broken beyond repair. But, we forgot..beside this whole tragedy, there's always another good side of it. If he can't fly, then he can explore another new thing. Until he finally meets someone who also had a similar fate as him."

"Hm? I don't get it."

Caitlin chuckled. "It is like this, one bird with a broken wing decided to go on an adventure and explore the land until finally, he met with someone who also had a broken wing like him. Together, with their compatibility, don't you think they be able to fly into the sky, one day?"

"As I say, we never know how many birds with a broken wing in this world who wouldn't be able to fly into the sky again. Sometimes, the imperfect of what we have right now will make it perfect when together. If you do not understand what I'm saying right now, that's okay. Someday, you'll understand it."

Lily nods her head. 'Maybe someday...I will truly understand how the adult work on their love life.'

"Lily!" Alex shouted her name from the tennis court, and Lily turn her head to look at him. He then lifts his racket on his hand, inviting her to join him playing tennis at the courtyard.

While Jamal already looks half-dead. He must be getting bullied by that little devil. Feeling sorry to Jamal, Lily takes the challenge. But, before she goes, she turns to look at Caitlin.

"You'll stay until dinner, right?"

Caitlin wants to reject her invitation, but her cute face doesn't allow her to shake her head. She then slowly nodded her head. "Okay."

"Cool! Watch me play." She said, and run to the tennis court.

While Jamal walks to the bench and opens up his bottle lid. He didn't see that there's someone who's sitting on the bench too.

Looking at the guy, Caitlin opens her mouth, "Are you their trainer?" Caitlin asked, and because of shock, Jamal almost spurts out his drink.

"Sorry! Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you." Caitlin immediately says her sorry to him. She really didn't intend to make him surprised like that.

Jamal pounds his chest with his fist while swallowing the drink, and he turns his head to the girl. He is surprised to see such a beautiful lady sitting here. But, why didn't he notice her earlier?

'Oh, no..now I'm a bit sweaty and messy. Tsk! I should put on some gel on my hair earlier. Ah, what to do? Act cool?' Jamal thought and kept maintaining his face to stay calm and serene.

"No, I should be one who should apologize. I shouldn't sit here." He wants to stand up, but Caitlin stops him from doing so.

"No, no, no..please..sit down. I don't mind, really."

Look at the girl, Jamal lift up his eyebrow a bit. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, no big deal." Caitlin smile at him. He looks like a nice guy. A looks like an Asian guy but quite taller and muscular too. 'A sports-type guy?'

"Uh..thank you, miss..?" He squinted his eyes a bit. He never saw her before. But, he could tell from her appearance that she's from a wealthy family.

"Caitlin." Caitlin hand out her hand to the man. Gulped, Jamal's forehead feels like its sweating much than before. 'Isn't Caitlin is the name of Mr. Brian's future fiancee?'

"Uh…Jamal." He still took her hand for a quick handshake.

"Ah~ Jamal…nice name."

Jamal smiles. 'Aww! She's cute.'

"So, Jamal, I was wondering. I saw you training the little boy and focus on him only, are you his personal sports teacher or…"

"Oh, no. Not at all. I'm a private butler," Jamal said. Well, a butler isn't a good match for a girl from a high class like her, right?

"I see." Caitlin nods her head before she averts her eyes to the building that has been attracting her attention before.

"So, Jamal..do you know what building is that? Why is that building a bit far from the main house?" She asked the man again. He seems more comfortable to talk to, and he looks like an honest guy too.

Looking at the direction she said, Jamal says, "Oh…that building is just where they put a medical supply. The maids say that it was once a building where the previous madam do her work."

"Do her work?"

"Yea. She's a professor who I heard. So, when she's still alive, after getting married, Master Brian didn't let her work at the outside, so she builds her own lab and does her job there." Jamal happily explains to her. Living in this mansion for quite a while, he's already known most of the story in this house.

"Really? Isn't it like a cage? Why would he cage her if he loves her?" Caitlin murmur, and it caught Jamal's attention.

At first, he also feels the same as her. "Maybe Master Brian really cares about his previous wife. I heard he loves her, but they also often argued. Oops!" Jamal presses his lips. He shouldn't say something like that, isn't he?

"I mean.."

"No worries. I don't mind it." Caitlin smile at him. Well, a piece of new information for her today. She didn't know that Lisa suffered after marrying him. She thought they live in harmony and lovey-dovey together.

But with this news also makes her more puzzled. Why did Brian marry her and then cage her life in here? Well, consider as what Lily just told her, did she meant it that she doesn't want her to get the same fate as her mother?

"I hope you didn't misunderstand my word, Miss Caitlin."

Chuckles, Caitlin, look at the guy. "No, really. Don't worry."

'It's not like I am going to marry him anyway. Fuck no, I already decided to fool him.'

"I win! Yeay!!" Lily shouts from the courtyard, and Jamal claps his hands.

Seeing the guy clapping his hands, Caitlin also does the same. "Alex can't beat Lily in sport," Jamal said, and Caitlin lifts up her eyebrow a bit.

"Oh, really? She's had a bright future then."

"Oh yes, she is," Jamal said, and he went to both of the children. Persuade Alex, who already pouted and reward Lily a lollipop for winning the game.

Caitlin look at them from afar. Sighing. If only she could have an ordinary life. What will her life be like? She probably already had two or three children by now.
