“Honestly, people should know how to appreciate their blessings when they live. You both are now born in the blessing, but still drowsy, tossing themselves. Nowadays it’s hard to find love, so listen to Sister Chen’s advice and don’t be too stubborn. You two are like this, I am an outsider looking at you all anxious for you!”
Listening to this, Andrea Jones bowed her head in thought.
A long time ago, only to quietly speak back to Chen’s words, “But, we have tied a dead end between … can not be untied.”
Sister Chen shook her head and sighed: “Although I do not know what happened between you, but, as long as you have the heart, where there is no dead knot that can not be untied? The world can not untie the deadly knot, it is a reluctance to be untied, a halfway.”
Andrea Jones smiled bitterly, secretly pondering Chen’s words, and didn’t answer any more.
The other side of the planet.
Night, deep.
Bonnie Williams sits on a swing outside a Chinese-run school.
Until a small child toddled out with a school bag on his back, leaping up and calling out, “Mommy! Mommy!”
By the bright street light, looking at the childish little face, she stiffened and almost fell off the swing.
I found out that Ingram Gray’s children attend night classes at this school to learn Mandarin. At Chinese schools, most of the children who come and go are either Chinese or of mixed race. She didn’t know which one his child was, but when the child came out, she recognized him right away.
It’s so recognizable.
Because …
and the child’s father, really like …
That frown, that look …
Bonnie Williams would like to see more clearly, but, the eyes have been unconsciously covered with a layer of fog.
She just stared fixedly at the young woman next to the child.
She is squatting down to remove the school bag from the child’s back. Holding the child, she walks pleasantly, occasionally whispering to him gently.
It was a beautiful young face.
At least much younger and more energetic than yourself …
That’s the type of thing Ingram Gray likes.
Bonnie Williams suddenly remembered that she will soon be 30 years old, she is always confident and proud, in front of this Ingram Gray’s little wife, but unprecedentedly ashamed of herself.
She touched her face and suddenly felt ridiculous to the extreme.
More than ten years of light, in exchange for the other side has been married for four years …
More down and out, it’s probably just like that …
“Husband!” The clear, clear sound shook her heart in all directions.
Looking up, I saw the young woman waving her hand continuously in the distance. The look is leaping and blushing, like a young girl caught in the heat of love.
Bonnie Williams seems to see herself as she once was.
But …
That woman is a million times happier than herself!
She can be that generous and call him her husband. And she …
She did not dare to think about it anymore, afraid that even she could not help but sympathize with herself. Turning his eyes, he saw the man …
That, she engraved on her heart, tormented to forget, but always remembered clearly the man.
It’s been a long time, and the only one who seems to be having a bad time is himself. He is still the same as he was, poised and distinguished. Even in this country, weaving in and out of a group of Americans, his stature was no less impressive than theirs.
Her eyes blurred.
Even the ears look like they’ve been occluded, perhaps …
It was the fear of pain. So, her body instinctively blocked out all those sweet words he was saying to other women.
So …
She could not see his expression at the moment, much less hear his words, but could only see him bend down and take the child in his arms.
He looked at the child with a face full of the doting of being a father.
Bonnie Williams hides in the darkness, hiding behind the swing bar, which is actually a ridiculous move. He would not even see himself, because … nowadays, he is full of eyes only children and his wife …
How can such a man know that someone who loves him like his life is quietly watching him?
It wasn’t until they were gone that Bonnie Williams quietly walked out. Legs have no strength at all, can only helplessly squat on the ground, let the tears fall one by one, wetting the ground.
He is now living a happy life.
True to his word, he has a happy and complete home.
It would be shameful if she continued to pester.
So …
Bonnie Williams.
Even if it hurts and hard again, you really have to give up …
Damn heart!
The other side.
The young woman carried the child to the back seat and sat down.
Ingram Gray had only just gotten into the driver’s seat when he heard the person behind him speak, “Honey.”
He frowned.
This sound ‘husband’ he heard uncomfortable all over.
Moreover, he has corrected hundreds of times, she just can’t change, and will hit him back with a sentence, “You are my husband, we are a legal couple, no?” In turn, he choked him speechless.
Now in front of the child, he was even less able to correct her. Just driving the car while absently returning her, “What’s wrong?”
“It was so strange just now. When we were picking up Pippi, a woman was standing at the door watching us the whole time.” Women are always very sensitive.
“Is it just you?” Ingram Gray didn’t put much stock in it.
“No way. I just had a peek at her all the time. Honey, do you think it could be the murderer who specializes in kidnapping small children as reported in the newspaper? There are women in that gang! And they all work late at night too.”
“You think too much, the woman who committed the crime was Asian, what you saw was American, right?”
“No, the other guy was Asian! I could see it clearly. Yellow skin, big eyes, long hair, pretty good looking.” The young mother was still talking eloquently.
Ingram Gray originally did not listen much, but, suddenly remembering something, slammed on the brakes.
“How tall is she? How fat and thin? Is she still wearing a skirt in such a cold day?”
He turned his head and asked a series of questions sharply, scaring the young woman for a long time.
“Si-yoon! Answer me!” Ingram Gray yelled sharply and lowly.
Wennie Green was in a trance and wanted to ask him what was going on, but when he saw his face, he didn’t dare to ask more and just replied: “It’s quite tall. About 168 to 170 like it. Well … is very thin and well-built. Also like you said, although so cold, but still wearing a skirt. It seems to be willow green …”
Green …
She likes green best …
“Where is she?” Ingram Gray raised his voice.
“It’s right in front of Pippi’s school!” Wennie Green looked at him in shock, “Do you know it?”
Ingram Gray didn’t answer and turned the wheel to make a U-turn. Pippi suddenly spoke up: “Daddy, you can’t turn around here! Our teacher taught us to obey the traffic rules!”
The child took a glance at the board to preach, he immediately remorseful pause action.
“You guys just sit in the car and wait for me to come back!”
He immediately pushed open the door and jumped out of the car.
Suddenly, I dread to imagine that it could really be her.
Having been here for so long, she must be well aware of how dangerous it is to be wandering the streets this late at night. Especially, Asians have always been looked down upon by many Americans. There are always people walking down the street to pick a fight every now and then.
With her character like that, she must refuse to show weakness when she encounters provocation, and she should definitely make something wrong.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. So just drive out is not far, this time has returned to the kindergarten entrance, but, look around, where there is her figure?
“Bonnie Williams!”
“Are you still there? Come out if you are!”
“Bonnie Williams! Do you hear me?”
However, no matter how he called, the answer was an empty back to him.
“Mr. Wei, are you looking for someone?” The Chinese teacher who had night classes in the school came out of the school.
“Yes, I’m looking for someone. Have you seen a beautiful young Chinese girl, please? She’s beautiful and dazzling! You’ll remember her if you’ve seen her!”
“You’re talking about the girl in the green dress?”
Ingram Gray’s eyes lit up, “That’s her! You’ve seen her? Where is she now?”
“She was squatting there sadly earlier, I thought she was up to something so I went over and asked a couple of questions. But she didn’t answer me anything, she stopped the cab and left. Gone for a while!”
Gone?
And …
Lost in thought?
Ingram Gray’s heart sank.
She must have seen Siyun and seen the baby …
Pain, assaulted into the eyes, he stood there dumbfounded for a long time. Finally, turned around and walked in the direction of his parked car.
Discouraged, disheveled.
Even if we find her, so what?
What can he say?
Is everything a misunderstanding?
It can be more than just a misunderstanding.
He really got married! Promised another woman and child for life …
After sending Wennie Green and Pippi home, Ingram Gray was ready to leave.
“Liang Chen!” Wennie Green called out.
Ingram Gray turned to her and said, “I’m going to Mom and Dad’s.”
Wennie Green was silent for a moment, but couldn’t resist asking, “Is that the girl … tonight?”
It’s not that she didn’t know that there was a woman who had always loved him very much, she had heard his parents mention it, but Wennie Green hadn’t put much thought into it.
Because, she is the legal wife of Liang Chen, that woman even if she loves him again, it is too late.
However, when she saw his reaction tonight, she began to feel uneasy in her heart.
He obviously cares about that woman!
And …
So what if one is his legal wife? What kind of a couple are they? Even if they don’t live together, they’ve never even slept together.
Have you ever held hands? Well, if holding hands when you have to pretend to be affectionate at a party outside counts!
“It’s getting late, take Pippi to bed.” Ingram Gray obviously didn’t want to talk much about it, “I’ll go first.”
He still had to make a trip to the hotel.
She stayed there every time she came to New York.
Wennie Green seemed to know his reason for leaving in such a hurry, and with a twist of her heart, reached out and dragged him back, “Honey, stay tonight, okay?”
Looking at the hand that climbed over him, Ingram Gray frowned.
Instinctively, she was about to push her hand away, but she sharply gripped it tighter, “Pippi has always asked me why all the other moms and dads live together, but only we are separated!”
“Siyun, stop it!” Ingram Gray ran out of patience.
The child suddenly ran out of the room with his slippers, and after bouncing around the two adults with his big childish eyes, he asked crisply, “Mom and Dad, what are you doing?”
“Pippi, be a good girl and go to bed in your room.” Ingram Gray motionlessly jerked Wennie Green’s hand away and instructed the child.
Wennie Green felt his still indifferent attitude, his heart crossed and took Pippi’s hand, “Pippi, haven’t you always wanted daddy to sleep with you? Here, now daddy is here, you and daddy say a good word, let him keep you company.”
She did it on purpose!
Ingram Gray’s brow furrowed tighter and tighter, his face sunken.
