550 Chapter 389: Love of a Lifetime (Chinese Valentine’s Day Special) [1/3]
Sam left the blacksmith shop after a busy day.
His hair was messy like a chicken nest, and his clothes were unkempt. His appearance made people frown.
He looked like a wandering beggar, and he was in an extremely sorry state.
He only had one arm. His appearance wouldn’t show a good impression.
But Sam didn’t care about that. He still puffed out his chest, and his eyes shone.
The residents who pa.s.sed by him did not look at him strangely. Instead, envy and respect filled their state.
That was because the gray clothes he wore were uniforms specially designed by the tailor shop for the blacksmith shop.
In the entire Twilight City, only the staff of the blacksmith shop had the right to wear it.
That was the blacksmith shop, the most prestigious place in Twilight City.
They divided the blacksmith shop’s uniforms into three levels: Apprentice, Blacksmith, and Master Blacksmith.
He wore the most top-notch exclusive costume for a Master Forger. It was the symbol of his status.
In the entire Twilight City, only he and Adele had it.
Sam walked briskly and hummed a tune he just knew from Shanna.
The girl liked him, and Sam liked her too.
He couldn’t help but walk faster while he thought of the person who waited for him at home.
He had already stayed in the blacksmith shop for a week. He originally wanted to research advanced attack technology before returning home.
However, he had no choice but to come out now because today was very special.
It was Shanna’s birthday…
He did not know when Shanna’s birthday was. He did not even know his birthday.
He treated that day as his and her birthday because he treated the day they met as their shared birthday.
To him, this was even more important than his birthday.
A light came into his dark life when he met Shanna.
The girl’s appearance gave him hope and the strength to live.
To outsiders, he was the one who had been taking care of Shanna, but only he knew.
It was the girl who could no longer see this world that supported him. She was the one he relied on.
The light in her eyes became gentler.
A few months ago, a disabled man with only one arm brought a blind girl across the desert of death… How crazy and suffocating was this?
However, for her, he was not afraid of any difficulties.
Fortunately, he had made this choice back then.
Sam smiled from the bottom of his heart at the thought of this.
Twilight would not have discovered him to come to this great city and become a respected top-notch blacksmith if it weren’t for his decision.
“Lord Richard…”
He muttered this name in his heart, and his eyes revealed a burning light.
It was the ruler of this territory who gave him everything.
He would never forget it…
His soul belonged to his girl, but his life had long belonged to this city.
He would stand on the city walls without hesitation if the city needed to give everything he had to protect it and Lord Richard.
“Sam, you’re going home so early today?”
A crisp voice of surprise interrupted Sam’s thoughts.
He subconsciously turned his head and saw a girl with a voluptuous figure.
The girl wore a pure white dress, and her big, blue, and gemstone-carved eyes could make one’s heart tremble.
Her face was exquisite and perfect, and her temperament was elegant and lively. Even the most discerning person would find it difficult to find any flaws.
Sam didn’t dare to look at her for long. He avoided her gaze awkwardly and said stiffly, “Miss Elena, good morning…”
“Today is Shanna’s birthday. I would come home a little early.”
The smile on the girl’s face faded slightly. She showed a forced smile when she heard this.
“That’s great. I didn’t expect Miss Shanna’s birthday to be today.”
Her eyes dimmed as she spoke.
“Then, I’ll go ahead. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Sam nodded blankly.
“Okay, Miss Elena. Goodbye.”
The girl lowered her head, turned around, and unhappily left when she realized Sam wouldn’t stop her.
Sam didn’t mind. He regained his happiness and prepared to go home.
However, a fat middle-aged man with a big belly stopped him before he could walk far.
The other party wore a black robe and looked wealthy.
Sam chuckled when he saw the person.
“Uncle Ode, good morning.”
The middle-aged man named Ode laughed.
“Good morning, Sam.”
He looked around as he spoke.
“Didn’t you meet Elena just now?”
Sam gestured in another direction.
“Yes, Miss Elena has pa.s.sed by. ”
The middle-aged man revealed a subtle expression.
“You guys didn’t talk?”
Sam shook his head.
“I’ve already told her. Besides, it’s Shanna’s birthday today. I’m in a hurry to go home… ”
“Understandable.”
Ode sized up Sam as he spoke. Although dust covered his clothes, he could not underestimate his high-spirited gaiety.
Ode stepped forward after he pondered and approached Sam and lowered his voice.
“Sam, have you thought about what I told you before?
“Elena is a famous girl in Twilight City. Her looks and upbringing are top-notch. Many young men want to pursue her…”
Sam shook his head decisively.
“Thank you for your attention, Uncle Ode. I already have Shanna.”
