Chapter 5 First love returns.

She nodded quickly and sat down. He picked up a piece of food for her, and Jennifer tasted it with delight.

"How? Delicious?"

He eagerly awaited her answer. Jennifer Martinez frowned slightly, William saw this and was disappointed:

"Isn't it delicious?"

She put down her chopsticks and shook her head, smiling.

"No. It's very delicious"

He was still skeptical and asked her

"Really?"

"Yes, very tasty."

"Then you eat a lot. I found out online, these are all good foods for pregnant women. From now on, you just need to rest and take care of the rest."

She looked at him and replied:

"You don't have to work so hard. I can do these little things, you focus on taking care of the company."

"You can rest assured, I know how to arrange it myself. Stop eating, cold food won't taste good. This afternoon, after work, I will take you to buy things for your children.

"But I still don't know if it's a boy or a girl."

"It's okay, buy them all and leave them for the next child."

"Haiz..."

She looked at him, helplessly sighing.

She shyly lowered her face, her long jet-black hair concealing her blushing face. He smiled at her and then brought more food for her.

After breakfast, she prepared things for him to go to the company. After he left, she resumed her usual chores: cleaning and cooking.

More than twenty minutes on the road, he finally arrived at work. Hoang Minh Company is a company he built with one hand. Although only established 5 years ago, the company already has a great reputation throughout Hanoi. As usual, as soon as he entered the company, he quickly went to the office. The company has a big project coming up, so he can't be ignored.

"How's the work going?"

He held the document in his hand, his eyes never leaving what was written on the paper.

The secretary next to him quickly replied:

"Everything is progressing according to schedule."

"That's good! That's right, I've got work to do this afternoon. You'll have to push the schedule from this afternoon to another day for me."

"Yes. Director!"

Seeing the secretary stammering, he immediately asked:

"What happens?"

"The director has a guest waiting in the office."

He frowned thinking about which partner he had scheduled this morning. Can't remember forever, he turned to the secretary:

"Do I have a date with a partner?"

"No. This guest said it was your relative and she also had the president's business card, so I let me in."

He pondered for a while and then signaled his secretary to leave. Standing in front of the room door, he hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door open and entered. As soon as the door opened, a girl ran to him and hugged him affectionately

"William, I'm back!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet. The girl in his arms now is the one he's been looking for for two years, his first love. She's back, back with him and he should be happy but why does he feel so strange. He looked at her hesitantly for a moment, then as if suddenly remembering something, he hurriedly pushed her away and forcedly said:

"Madison, welcome back!"

He smiled tearfully, his feet involuntarily taking a few steps back to keep his distance from her. Madison looked at him with strange eyes, his act of pushing her away from her making her frustrated. She thought that when he saw her the first thing he would do would be to happily hug her, but now he was acting so strange?

"William! I...

She said as she walked towards him, but she took a step forward and he took a step back. Madison quickly noticed William Jackson's avoidance, and she also saw the displeasure on his face.

"Aren't you happy to see me back?"

He looked at her and shook his head.

"No, of course I'm glad you're back. Don't think too much."

"Then why are you avoiding me? Your actions now make me very uncomfortable, you know?"

William replied:

"I find this very normal. We've broken up, keeping our distance is a good thing for both of us."

His words left her speechless. Their love affair ended 5 years ago when she suddenly left without saying goodbye. Now she's back, but using what qualifications to come to him?

Seeing her silence, he spoke up:

"Madison, come here, sit down."

She nodded, quickly regaining her composure, and smiled and sat down across from him. He quickly poured her a glass of warm water, cheerfully asked:

"Since when did you come back, why don't you tell me."

"I just got back this morning, so I need to inform anyone. How are you these years? Still good?"

"Very good, and you?"

Madison nodded.

"Me too."

She hesitated to answer. As soon as the sentence ended, the atmosphere between the two suddenly became silent. Almost 5 years have passed, two people who once loved each other deeply. After such a long time, when they meet again, they must have many things to say to each other, but now only shyness remains.

"You have nothing to say to me?"

Her voice startled him slightly. He laughs off:

"There's nothing to talk about between us."

"Don't you wonder why I left you?

"It's over, let it go, I don't want to repeat it. I think we should stop at...."

Before William Jackson had finished his sentence, Madison interrupted quickly:

"That year, my family's American corporation had an accident, I had to go there with my father to solve it. It happened so quickly that I didn't have the opportunity to tell you. Going to the US, I contacted many times. Contacted you but failed. Everything is fine now, I'm back too. Can we come back again?"

Her teary eyes stared straight at him as if expecting an answer. Five years ago, she suddenly disappeared, turning his life upside down. He tried to find Madison but still couldn't find her.
