Twisted Dreams-Chapter 262 - 229: This Is Not a Dream

Jessica sat up straight, gazing at the clouds outside the window, murmuring:

"Is this a dream?"

Jessica rubbed her hair, walked to the bathroom to wash up and put on makeup.

Before long, her movements paused.

Her fingers gripping the toothbrush, turned slightly pale from too much force.

Jessica felt she couldn't breathe, tears falling drop by drop, her mouth open like a fish dying of thirst.

Clearly, it was a dream, but that dream was so real, real enough that she couldn't distinguish which was true and which was false.

"Arlan, Arlan..."

Jessica couldn't treat it as just a dream.

'Ring ring ring...'

The phone rang.

Jessica picked up the phone:

"Hello?"

It was an assistant calling:

"Ma'am, someone from the God Creation Group is here, when will you be at the company?"

Jessica replied:

"I'm leaving right now."

...

Jessica felt she couldn't drive today, her condition was really not good.

She walked downstairs, waved to hail a taxi.

Jessica sat in the back seat, began to speak:

"To the TT Headquarters Tower."

The car slowly started, and the taxi driver began to speak:

"It seems, you haven't truly realized."

Jessica, feeling awful, responded impatiently:

"What are you talking about, just drive your car..."

Jessica suddenly realized this voice was very familiar, and suddenly looked towards the rearview mirror.

Through the mirror, she saw the driver's appearance.

The driver's attire didn't look like that of a taxi driver at all.

He was wearing a black suit, draped in a black trench coat, and had a round cap on his head.

Jessica looked carefully at the man's face.

Jessica's eyes widened gradually, this was the beggar from that night!

However, that ragged beggar now had an air of nobility.

Jessica swallowed hard.

Last night wasn't a dream!

It was indeed some mysterious power descending upon her!

And the man driving in front of her was the source of that mysterious power!

Li Yang lit up a cigarette:

"Arlan is in New City, there will be a flight to London, England shortly, probably won't come back."

"Arlan, Arlan..." Jessica was utterly surprised.

She stared at Li Yang in the rearview mirror, beseeching:

"Can you take me to the airport? I can't live without him, please help me." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Li Yang's lips curled into a slight smile, and he floored the gas pedal.

His driving skills were superb.

With Tier Five Mental Power, he could perfectly control anything requiring full concentration and delicate maneuvering.

Whether it was a car or firearms.

In this state, if Li Yang entered an e-sports tournament, he would definitely be a multiple champion.

Now, Li Yang was the Car God of Qiuming Mountain.

...

At the airport.

Jessica got off the car, enduring dizziness and nausea.

She walked to the driver's side door:

"Thank you..."

Midway through her sentence, she couldn't continue, her eyes filled with shock.

Sitting in the driver's seat now wasn't the man from Xia Country, but a face with blond hair and blue eyes she had never seen before.

Jessica rubbed her eyes.

It seemed as if the mysterious man from Xia Country she talked to never existed, and it was always this local taxi driver.

It all seemed like an illusion.

The taxi driver said:

"Please pay the fare, ma'am."

"Oh, oh..."

Jessica took out cash and turned towards the airport.

"Urgh~"

Jessica looked back, seeing the taxi driver holding onto the car, vomiting violently.

Jessica's hair stood on end.

She was certain that the person who drove her here was definitely that man from Xia Country.

What kind of magical spell was this!

...

In the airport, Jessica wandered around the hall, her face full of anxiety.

She was looking for Arlan.

So many years gone by, she didn't know if he looked the same as in the dream.

Finally, she saw a familiar figure at the security checkpoint.

That broad back, as if it was a lifetime ago.

It was a magical feeling.

Last night they shared a bed and their family time with their daughter, and now he was a familiar stranger again.

"Arlan!"

Jessica called out loud.

Arlan was about to enter the security checkpoint, if he went in, to another country, Jessica might never find him again in this lifetime.

Arlan looked back at Jessica, his eyes showing a bit of surprise, and also a hint of disdain.

Back then, Jessica went to New City and then vanished without a trace.

He heard she was doing well, and finally squeezed into the upper society she longed for.

Arlan knew he had been abandoned.

He didn't act like a love-struck fool or a scoundrel, crying and begging to recover this relationship.

Indeed, he never even returned to New City.

If it wasn't for retrieving his lawyer's qualification certificate, he wouldn't have come to New City to catch a flight.

Arlan had his pride.

He ignored Jessica and continued towards the security checkpoint.

Jessica's tears couldn't help but flow:

"Arlan! Arlan! Will you forgive me?

Don't you remember? We buried roses in the little park, you promised me we could always save the game."

Arlan paused, staring blankly at Jessica.

Did she still remember such little details?

Jessica continued to cry out:

"We were supposed to open a tailoring factory called 'Happiness'.

We were supposed to be truly happy, I don't want anything else, I just want you!

Right, Lina!

We were supposed to have a daughter named Lina, she's so adorable!

She's like a little angel."

Arlan trembled upon hearing the name Lina, incredulously looking at Jessica.

He had given his daughter a name in his mind, and it was Lina.

How could Jessica know?

Jessica spoke in a faltering voice and then couldn't continue, squatting on the ground, crying loudly.

Originally, she thought that having wealth was happiness, but after experiencing a different life, Jessica no longer cared about all the wealth she possessed.

Sometimes life is magical.

Like a man leaving a farmland to his son after his unexpected death.

The son yearned for the big city, never tending to the farmland, striving to become a city dweller.

Ultimately, the son succeeded in becoming a small employee in the city, using his life to buy a house and a car, and he was very satisfied.

He never knew that his father buried a large amount of gold in the farmland, which with a few turn of the soil could bring immense wealth.

That gold would suffice to make the son a billionaire.

The key to this story is not the gold, but the son's choice.

The son never knew about the gold buried in the soil, so he was fortunate for choosing to leave the farmland for the city.

As long as the son never finds out about the gold in the farmland, he remains happy forever.

Just like Jessica.

If she had never experienced the life given by Li Yang, she would always believe she was happy.

Having experienced it now, she regretted immensely, not understanding why she was so foolish back then to give up her warm lover for cold money.

Someone patted Jessica on the shoulder.

With tear-filled eyes, Jessica looked up to see Arlan's face.

"Are you, okay?"

There was a sense of concern in Arlan's tone.

Jessica suddenly hugged Arlan tightly, fearing he would leave:

"I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime!"

Arlan looked at Jessica in amazement.

The past memories played like a film in his mind.

Jessica did not wait for Arlan to speak and kissed him deeply.
