Chapter 699
With Drizzt's last name and Jessica's name, she still loved them, but she couldn't remember anything.
Jessica was obviously stunned when she heard Ada pronounce her name, and murmured "Esmeralda" repeatedly.
Her brows furrowed in one place, as if she remembered something, but also seemed unable to remember anything.
"What's the matter, Ms. Drizzt?" Fred asked softly.
"Huh?" Jessica came back to her senses and apologized again, "I'm sorry, I was distracted again. I'm very sorry, I just..."
"Do you also like "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"? My parents liked this novel very much, so they gave me this name." Ada lowered her eyes and held the coffee cup with both hands, as if there was the whole world in the cup. .
"They must hope that you can be as kind and beautiful as Esmeralda in the book." Jessica said thoughtfully, "Ah... I'm sorry, I seem to have said too much."
After saying that, Jessica left.
It could be seen that Jessica wanted to continue chatting with Ada, but she did not dare to continue chatting. She was worried that she would bore Ada.
Whether he was distracted twice or expressed his opinion on Ada's name, it was very rude behavior.
When Jessica returned to the bar, where she was in a daze, the twins started talking again.
Fred tapped his knuckles on the table and said, "She may not remember you, but she remembers the name 'Drizzt'."
George pondered for a moment, and then said: "Why don't you undo your father's forgetting spell? You can do it. She still loves you, even though she has 'forgot' you."
Propping her elbows on the table again, Ada clasped her hands in front of her forehead and said softly: "Why do you want her to remember? Why do you want her to remember that her husband is dead?"
That's cruel.
Although she had been cast under a forgetting spell and forgotten everything, Jessica happened to remember the surname "Drizzt". She didn't remember it, but that feeling was still affecting her.
Ada didn't want to break the oblivion spell, even though she had had the urge to do so at one moment.
She doesn't want Jessica to recall the past, she doesn't want Jessica to think of her dead husband, and she doesn't want Jessica to feel guilty about herself.
"Perhaps, I shouldn't come today." Ada murmured, "It's better to miss her than to see her. It's enough to know that she is still alive."
Picking up the coffee cup with a round belly, Ada took a sip of the au lait coffee in the cup.
This is a latte that could be considered French. Half of the coffee is mixed with half of the scalding milk, and the thick aroma instantly exudes pure warmth.
At this moment, the bell hanging at the door of the store rang loudly, and a little girl who looked about ten years old walked in.
The little girl's long flaxen hair was tied into a braid on the back of her head, swaying playfully as she danced. The little girl who looked like a porcelain doll shouted "Mom" and went straight to the bar.
The childish voice woke up Jessica who was in a daze. She leaned down and gently held the little girl in her arms.
At the window seat, before the twins could ask questions, Ada took the initiative and said, "That's her current daughter Cameo, which means colored gemstone relief."
Hearing this, George sighed softly: "It's similar to your name, both mean gems."
"Let's go!" Fred suggested.
The two brothers knew Ada's intentions very well. Once she made up her mind to do something, it was difficult for others to persuade her.
The three people stood up and walked to the bar.
The little girl named Cameo sat obediently by herself, eating the bread in small bites, as if the bread in her hand was the most delicious food in the world.
Jessica was still standing at the bar, looking at Cameo with eyes full of love.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Ms. Drizzt," Fred said, holding the banknotes to Jessica as he spoke.
But Jessica didn't want to accept it. She said: "I have been rude again and again, so the coffee is my apology!"
One insisted on giving it and the other insisted on not giving it. Fred and Jessica pushed the banknotes back and forth in front of the bar.
"Well, I see there is a guitar there and I want to borrow it." Ada said, "This money will be regarded as the cost of borrowing the guitar."
With that said, Ada went straight to the guitar in the corner without giving Jessica any chance to refute.
George walked towards the well-behaved Cameo and sat next to the little girl. After putting down the coins, Fred also walked up to the little girl and talked to the doll-like Cameo.
"Kid, what's your name?" Fred asked, taking out a piece of ordinary chocolate from his pocket.
"My name is Cameo Drizzt, big brother." Cameo said in a milky voice, not afraid of strangers at all. It’s just that although the little girl was not afraid of strangers, she did not accept Fred’s chocolate.
"How old are you this year?" Fred asked again, and he took out a small bag of candy from his pocket.
Cameo still was not tempted by Fred's offensive, she said: "I am ten years old this year. I am no longer a child."
While Fred was talking to little Cameo, George's eyes rested on Cameo for a while, and then on Jessica and Ada. George is convinced that Cameo should be Jessica's adopted child.
Because there is nothing similar between these two people.
Even if the child looks like his father, how strong must the father's genes be to make the child look nothing like his mother!
In fact, little Cameo was indeed adopted by Jessica.
Because of the forgetting curse, Jessica couldn't remember anything, but she always had the same dream for many years - in the dream, she had a handsome husband and a lovely daughter.
Every time she woke up from her dream, Jessica would forget her husband's name and her daughter's name, but she firmly remembered the surname "Drizzt".
So she changed her last name to Drizzt and adopted little Cameo from the orphanage.
Some feelings are engraved in the bones and soul, and even magical magic cannot erase them all.
"Is that big sister pretty?" Fred pointed at Ada who was strumming the strings.
"Good-looking!" Cameo replied crisply.
"Can I give it to you as my sister?" George also joined the team teasing Cameo.
The cute Cameo tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, "Okay!"
"This sister is so beautiful, but she will take away mother's love. Is this okay?" George asked again.
"Okay!" Cameo said firmly, "This way there will be two people to take care of mom in the future! Cameo is too young now, and Cameo can't take care of mom by himself."
Fred and George looked at each other. This child was so sensible that it made people feel heartbroken. They recalled the old time when they first met Ada on the platform.
At this time, a burst of music sounded in the small cafe.
Then, the beautiful, ancient dreamlike melody and heart-touching lyrics came, as if a siren was whispering in your ears——
Are you going to Scarborough Fair~ (Are you going to Scarborough Fair?)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme~ (parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme)
Remember me to one who lives there~ (Say hello to a girl there for me)
She once was a true love of mine~ (She once was my lover)
