Chapter 1946: Chapter 587: Miss Anne Who Waited Through the Long Ages_5

Vera Williams finished writing, lovingly attached a stamp, and murmured: "I wonder if you’ve received my letter yet... Mr. Sunny, I miss you so much..."

This murmur finally touched Leonard Churchill outside the window.

He wanted to reach out and embrace the Miss Anne who had been waiting for him for ten years.

Yet he hesitated, fearing that as time passed, he would never see the foolish girl before him again.

Leonard just watched.

Watching Vera Williams silently stare at the letter paper by the window, sometimes smiling gently, sometimes murmuring foolishly, filled with love and anticipation, and in that moment, the longing appeared on her face, which had grown slightly mature.

This very scene made the intense emotions in the handwriting on those letters materialize before Leonard’s eyes.

He felt the grievances and longing of that enduring wait.

Watching Vera Williams immersed in expressions of hopeful anticipation, Leonard felt an overwhelming urge to tell her he had come.

Yet, he couldn’t utter a word.

Words seemed to be blocked in his throat by an inexplicable force.

The Time Rule was like the moon in the water; when you reach for it, it slips away.

Separated only by a pane of glass, Leonard looked at her with eyes full of admiration, countless thoughts finally condensed into a whisper: "Miss Anne, I’ve come to see you..."

Yet as those words left, it seemed that some awareness arose within the void.

Vera Williams suddenly started, looking up at the window, exclaiming with surprise: "Sunny..."

But in an instant, seeing the empty view outside, the excitement just appeared on her face quickly vanished.

Her appearance aged significantly again, silver frost appeared at her temples.

The content on the letter paper changed once more, Vera Williams had written countless letters without a reply: "Time is passing faster and faster. Although I don’t want to admit it, the fact is, I am already so old, and going on a long trip feels so exhausting... If you see this, please come to see me soon, I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait for you..."

Leonard knew, she really just heard!

He had once read in a Classic Book, a warning left by someone who comprehended Time Rules: many times in life when you think you’re experiencing auditory hallucinations, it’s actually your future self and beloved looking back at you.

It turned out to be true!

In this moment, Leonard looked at Vera Williams before him, with countless thoughts longing to be spoken.

But he feared that even this small amount of beauty would slip through his fingers.

Leonard just watched silently, watching Vera Williams by the window, a kind of unprecedented complex emotion surged in his heart.

Yet the urge grew so intense, as if Miss Anne sensed something.

She once again...

Like countless times decades past, she looked up with joy towards the window...

Then, seeing the empty window, returned to disappointment.

As if she felt something, the disappointment on her face gradually turned into a smile, and she murmured to herself: "I know you’ve been here. You promised you’d come see me, and you will surely come..."

Leonard was shaken with intensity by her words!

Before he could express anything, Vera Williams continued: "I want to tell you, thank you for seeing me in time. As you can see, I am already very happy now. Meeting you was the happiest thing in my life..."

She spoke of her happiness, as if self-soothing.

Also as if comforting the "unknown listener" just outside the window.

Leonard listened silently.

Vera Williams said many things, many that couldn’t fit on the letter paper. She said she’s very happy, but between the lines, there was only longing.

Finally, as if tired of talking, she paused.

She sealed the letter in an envelope, kissed it shut, and with the tone of a girl from before, said: "Looking forward to your reply~"

At this moment Leonard was unable to speak, "Miss Anne..."

Vera Williams gently looked at the window before her, in this instant, it was as if the two were gazing across time and space, truly seeing: "Hmm... If... I mean if you came and I didn’t see it, maybe like last time, I can’t say. Hmm... I wouldn’t mind, I would be happy that you came. But... but if you... you really heard, then... let’s reunite soon."

At last, this girl who waited bitterly through long years, tenderly and quietly said: "I miss you..."
