He lay on the side of her bed, covered his face with his hands, and began to cry bitterly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he didn't expect her to be so miserable and pitiful.

Basha lay weakly on the bed, looking weak. She reached out and gently stroked Leon's hair, calling out in a barely audible voice, "Leon, are you Leon?"

Leon grabbed her hand tightly, pressed it to her face, and replied, "I'm Leon, I'm Leon." Because of her extreme sadness, uncontrollable tears dripped on the back of her pale hand.

Basha said sadly, "Leon, why didn't you come to see me?" and tears rolled down her eyes as she said this.

Leon said, "But I don't think I'm worthy of you, and I don't know if you love me or not." ”

"How could I not love you, my sweetheart?" and "do you know why I didn't see you for a month?" she continued, relieving, "and it was the family that married me to the Belgian prince as a princess. But I only loved you at that time, so I didn't agree to marry in Belgium, but they didn't listen to me, so I couldn't help it, so I went on a hunger strike. In this way, I was guarded by them for a month. You know that I am a weak woman whose parents have died, and it is impossible to get rid of this fateful arrangement of marriage with relatives. Especially in those days, it was a great price for a girl to break with the whole family. Moreover, you never told me that you loved me, so, for the sake of my family and the country, I finally compromised with them.

I think that when I see you, as soon as you say to me that you love me, I will follow you out of the palace and elope. However, you only brought me my favorite chocolate ice cream, and you didn't say that to me. ”

Leon hurriedly explained, "However, I wrote DOVE letters on the ice cream cream for you, and that is my confession to you." ”

But Basha shook her head and said, "But I only saw the chocolate cream on the ice cream, not the word DOVE." If I were to see DOVE, I would walk with you to the ends of the earth. ”

Leon said frustratedly, "Because I didn't fix the letters of DOVE, and by the time you see it, it's already melting." At this, he whimpered in such humiliation that he could not stop crying.

Now, the truth is out. However, it was too late to understand all this. In order to spend more time with Bazaar, Leon came to visit Basha almost every day. However, three days later, Bazaar died. She was only 44 years old.

After attending Bazaar's funeral, Leon heard Bazaar's servant tell him that Bazaar had been depressed all day after she got married, which caused her to be sick, and after learning that Leon had left Luxembourg and had been married in the United States, she never fell ill. Hearing this, Leon cried almost all night.

The day before leaving Brussels, Leon came to Bazaar's grave again, laid her flowers, and said her final farewell. He stood silently at the tomb for a long time, remembering the good times they had together, and tears kept flowing down. It wasn't until it was a little dark that he said goodbye to his beloved, "Goodbye, Bazaar." ”

On the way back to New York after leaving Belgium, Leon could not escape that remorse and self-blame. Yes, if that chocolate was fixed, the words wouldn't melt and he wouldn't have lost his last chance. Then Bazaar would not have died so early.

And once the chocolate can be fixed, it can be stored for a long time.

He devotes almost all of his free time to the development of chocolate. After a long period of painstaking development, the year after Bazaar's death, a delicious chocolate with the letters "DOVE" firmly engraved on it was finally born.

That night, he took a large piece of chocolate out of the refrigerator and placed it on the table to observe. However, after a long time, the plate of chocolate engraved with "DOVE" was still firmly solidified and did not change in the slightest. At this time, he excitedly picked up the phone and dialed Akania's number.

Aikania asked sleepily, "Hello, who are you?"

Leon said, "I am Leon. ”

Aikania asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?"

Leon excitedly said, "My experiment was successful. ”

Puzzled, Aikania asked, "What test?"

"It's the experiment of imprinting DOVE on chocolate." ”

Aikania immediately became excited, and said, "Really, that's great. Congratulations, Leon, you're amazing!"

Leon said, "I'm going to give you the first chocolate I've ever made." You can taste it at the table tomorrow morning. ”

Aikania said, "Thank you, Leon. Then she said to him, "But you too should go to bed, for it's three o'clock in the morning." ”

Leon said, "Got it." However, because of the excitement, he did not fall asleep at all. It's just that he didn't know what to do to let Basha know the news of his success.
