Apparently, I am the child of wealthy parents

Episode 20

The sky swiftly darkened, Erwin had been waiting in the pavilion for a considerable time, and he waited until at last Lina appeared.

She seemed to have changed attire into an elegantly sexy red sling dress, and stepped onto a pair of high-heeled red shoes to accentuate her graceful beauty, which also served to amplify her already attractive figure.

"Erwin, sorry to have kept you waiting." Lina approached the pavilion and took her seat beside Erwin. There was a faint scent and a hint of alcohol coming from her. I should drink a little alcohol.

"I haven't seen you for four years, you look even more beautiful~" Erwin continued to gaze at her intently. Indeed, the grown-up Lina was more feminine compared to her college days.

"Thank you~" Lina's pretty face blushed slightly upon receiving Erwin's compliment, but she was clearly delighted. With her beautiful autumn eyes fixed on Erwin, she asked earnestly, "Erwin, do you still like me?"

Erwin was at a loss for words. Had he not been engaged, he might have responded without hesitation. But now, Erwin truly did not know how to answer Lina's question. After some thought, he suddenly conceived the most subtle method of rejection, and said, "Actually, I borrowed a Ferrari and a Rolls Royce from a car dealership. The woman in customer service at the dealership is an acquaintance from my campus club. Her name is Lucy, you should know her. She happens to be a salesperson there. She helped me set up that scenario."

"And Adam, they're right. I don't even have a job, and I can't afford my rent. I am worthless. Would you still like me as I am?" Erwin suddenly turned his head and questioned her in return.

His initial intent was to lower his status so that Lina would give up on him. But it appears he was mistaken. After a moment of daze, Lina couldn't suppress a smile.

"Erwin, do you think I was telling you this after learning that you were driving luxury cars?"

"Well, let's just pretend I didn't say that."

Erwin naturally knew Lina's values, she was nothing like Leticia. In that regard, the mere aspect of wealth as life. On the contrary, Lina's family was well-off. Her parents owned several highly profitable hotels. She was a girl of fair complexion and wealthy background, so it was unlikely that Lina would abandon Erwin so hastily on the grounds of him being poor.

"Whether poor or wealthy, you are the talented man from campus who has pursued me for three years in my eyes."

Lina said as she pulled an envelope from her bag and handed it over to Erwin.

"What's this?" Erwin furrowed his eyebrows slightly and hesitated to take it.

"This is why I went abroad. It's all related to you. I am ready to accept who you are, but..." Lina suddenly looked forlorn and was at a loss for words. After Erwin opened the envelope, he took out the note inside, and saw the words written there.

‘Leave Erwin for four years, or your parents' hotel will go bankrupt.'

"How could this..." Erwin was shocked, clearly, someone had forced Lina to leave the country.

His first thought was her parents. Because his mother had mentioned earlier that her family had raised her poorly, and Lina was a beautiful and rich daughter. Once she became involved with him, given Lina's character, it was unlikely that Erwin would be able to shoulder hardship, let alone expect her to work hard outside.

Maybe she would join her parents' company as a senior after graduation, with a high salary and her generous demeanor. Therefore, it was possible that Erwin would not have to worry about food and clothing henceforth, nor would he appreciate the difficulties of earning a living like the common folk.

Could it be her parents who orchestrated all this? If this was the case, then he owed Lina. Of course, all this was just Erwin's speculation; he did not know the true purpose of the letter for Lina.

"After I received this letter, my parents hastily arranged for me to go abroad, and they forbade me from contacting you again, so I left without saying goodbye. Even that night, I was ready to commit to pursuit and decided to stay with you. Together, only this sentence, which is now four years overdue."

Speaking of this, Lina's eyes dimmed. Erwin might understand the reason, it could be because her parents deliberately prevented him from staying with Lina, and the goal was to support him poorly!

"So, it was all because of me." Erwin couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although he might guess some of the reasons, he couldn't explain the situation to Lina.

"It's alright, the letter only said I had to leave you for four years. Now that time has passed, we can be together again."

Lina took the initiative to reach for Erwin's hand, her beautiful face slightly flushed, yet still firm, she caught him. Erwin did not speak, but was a little upset, yet he did not pull his hand away, instead, Lina gripped it tighter and embraced him in her heart, but reality seemed not to allow them to be together. Seeing Erwin did not respond to her, Lina's eyes darkened slightly, and she changed the subject.

"By the way, are you going to Leticia's birthday party tomorrow?"

"Yeah, how did you know?" Erwin asked suspiciously after he recovered.

"She invited me as well, let's go together!" Lina paused, her eyes swirling, and she continued. "Erwin, you can return the Ferrari. Don't think about pretending to be lavish in front of your ex-girlfriend. Let her move past it. Anyway, you should look forward. In this way, I will suffer a little loss tomorrow, and it will be your day. My boyfriend, when Leticia sees me as your girlfriend, she will definitely be jealous."

Erwin was somewhat startled, as Lina truly believed that he and Adam continued to quarrel just to show off and win Leticia's heart. This made Erwin reluctantly smile for a while.
