Chapter 29 Will He Have a Home Soon?
Brodie held the brown envelop, his hands shaking slightly.
He opened it and saw the familiar handwriting. He suddenly felt his eyes moist.
...
Dear Cindy:
It's mom.
Do you remember me? Although we haven't seen each other for two years, you can't forget what your
mom looks like, right?
There's a lot of crabapple blooming here now. It's very beautiful.
I saw your picture in the newspaper and you were playing in a Japan's piano competition. You got the
first prize. I'm happy for you. Even if I am not with you, you are still a good girl. I'm so proud of you.
I'm sorry. I was not there for you in the past two years, but believe me, I am always caring about you
and supporting you from afar.
I miss you.
I miss you very much, my dearest angel.

Most of these letters were similar in content. It didn't make too much sense, but every single sentence
Luna wrote showed how much she missed Cindy.
She didn't say a word about Brodie.
But Luna was still alive! She now lived abroad and sent letters to her!
This news made Brodie completely excited! He could feel a thrill in his veins.
Brodie believed that Luna must see the news about Cindy when she participated in the competition
abroad. Luna also knew that Cindy was cured.
Though Luna knew all of this, she didn't come back.
Brodie knew that she did so because of him.
However, even if she didn't come back, he could go abroad to find her.
He would find her at any cost.
He would make every effort to find Luna.
Brodie picked up his phone and called Steve. Hearing the familiar "Mr. Melton" on the other side,
Brodie swallowed hard and felt his throat was too tight to speak. After a long time, he said, "Steve, I will
find her soon."
For so many years, the only woman Mr. Melton cared about was Luna.
Steve knew "her" referred to Luna. He couldn't help but feel happy for Mr. Melton who used to be as
cold as ice, "Mr. Melton, what can I do for you?"
Brodie sniffed, as if he wanted to draw some strength from the air. "Check the letter sent to the
presidential suite and figure out where it was posted. Be quick. I need the specific address. Remember
to book a plane ticket as soon as you find it."
The man who was ruthless and indifferent in business seemed to become a real person with feelings at
this moment. Brodie had the same feeling as an ordinary person before meeting his lover he missed so
much. Whether it be anxiety, pain, or struggle, the mixed feeling made him a human being.
Steve felt touched. He said calmly, "Alright, Mr. Melton, I will wait until you bring Mrs. Melton back."
He called Luna "Mrs. Melton".
Brodie was silent and a string of tears slid down.
Since the moment Brodie received the letters, a rush of blood had been flowing under his skin and the
veins in his temples had been pulsing more rapidly. He was extremely excited.
He could even hear the sound of his heart beating, as loud as a drum in his chest.

Steve went through the formalities very quickly and bought the plane ticket to Los Angeles. The plane
would take off at four in the morning, which was the earliest. Before heading to Los Angeles, Brodie
went to Cindy's bedroom.
Cindy was still soundly asleep. She looked graceful and dignified now. Her expression was the same
as Luna's when she was quiet. Seeing that, Brodie felt a bit touched.
Brodie lowered his head and had a quick kiss on Cindy's face. "Cindy, daddy is going on a business
trip. Be good at home, okay? Listen to the butler and Uncle Steve."
After saying that, Brodie was about to leave. However, he saw Cindy awake. She had a sleepy
expression with half-closed eyes. Cindy felt complicated now, but she was still expectant. She said,
"Dad, are you going to bring mom home?"
Cindy was mischievous. She would only call Brodie "dad" when she had something important to talk
with him.
Brodie nodded seriously. He patted Cindy's head and said, "Yes. Go back to sleep. Be a good girl at
home. I'll bring mom back soon."
Cindy looked very serious.
"I'll wait for you two back."
The little girl's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Brodie's heart was melted, and he promised, "Absolutely."
