In this family, the old man’s words are holy orders, as the younger generation of when to disobey him ah! In addition, his health is not good, the younger generation is more obedient, and now for a woman, the second young afraid of death and the old man choked, this is really the first time!
“Look at the way you look! Look at that!” The old man’s trembling hand compared to him, his eyes were full of chill and disappointment, “When did you ever choke with me? Now for the sake of a woman, you can’t even put me in your eyes anymore!”
Neal Williams was a little helpless, “Grandpa, that’s not fair. This charge of disrespect, not only she can’t stand it, I can’t stand it either.”
“Humph! That’s how long you’ve known her and you’re defending her at every turn!”
Neal Williams looked helplessly at the side of his face, which was tense with anger, and said, “I’m not just protecting her, I’m also guarding my love, the integrity of my life. Grandpa, I don’t know what my dad and Aunt Jin didn’t end up together for, but I’m sure they regretted each other for life. This regret is not something that my dad can make up for with the status, achievements, and power he has now, nor is it something that my mom, my sister, and I can help him erase instead of Aunt Jin.”
The old man was slightly shaken.
“When I looked at my dad standing in that neighborhood downstairs, forlornly looking at the small window but careful not to approach, I was suddenly very afraid … I dare not imagine, when I grow old inside but still that lonely, full of the world is only a lonely me, it will be a kind of The feeling. I couldn’t understand what my dad was feeling at the time, but I didn’t want to experience it either. I’m just sure that I don’t want to repeat his mistakes!”
After a pause, he said word for word, “I will never let go of her hand as long as she is willing! No one will be able to make me compromise!”
The grandson’s words made the old man frown. He gripped his cane and did not speak for a long time, just looked majestically at the swaying road ahead. Seems to be thinking about something, and seems to be thinking about nothing.
A ripple emerged from those sharp eyes, seemingly shaken by his words. However, that layer of ripples and quickly dissipated, leaving only waves of calm, the face also returned to the previous condensation.
Stiffening his lips, he never let go of his mouth.
Neal Williams knew the old man was stubborn and was under no illusions that he would be convinced so easily. He already felt relieved for the time being that the old man was not pressing hard. He was also tired and closed his eyes wearily.
The car, driving slowly and evenly.
He drifted off to sleep, unaware that night was falling. The car was driving up the tell, heading towards the Huan Yu villa area 400 miles away.
The Huan Yu villa area, located in the quiet suburbs, is isolated. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the air is fresh, and at night you can even clearly hear insects chirping. The dense starlight in the sky is dazzling, like a huge curtain enveloping the entire sky.
This kind of place, because of the isolation, so except for private cars, there is no other car traffic.
The car, slowly parked outside a villa.
At this moment, the night is very late, but the villa is still lit.
Neal Williams woke up to see the building in front of him and the depths of the place frowned at once.
“How did you get here?” The sleepiness was completely gone, and only a suspicious survey of the quiet surroundings.
This villa area, he has not never been here, but absolutely no chance, so for here, he is simply also unfamiliar.
“Get off.” The old man called back to him, his voice already mute. This is a huge exertion for the old man to ride for hours on end, and at this moment, he doesn’t even have the strength to push the door. The attendant came down and pulled open the door, and Neal Williams, despite his doubts, hurriedly got out and came around, carefully helping the old man out.
“Grandpa, you didn’t tell me to come so far away.”
“Go in.” The old man didn’t seem to have the spirit to talk to him much, and there was a deep fatigue on his face.
Neal Williams also looked unbearable. Although I do not know what medicine the old man sells in the gourd, but, now this situation is not good to press, only to follow the old man inside.
Before you push the door, you can already hear the voices inside. Inside is lively, there are women and men’s voices.
Neal Williams frowned and paused subconsciously in his steps.
The man who was following the old man had pushed the door open. The lively voices inside pounced at once, and the first to yell up was Ashley Williams, “Grandpa! Second Brother! You’re finally here!”
With that, the little girl has swooped over and grabbed Neal Williams’ arm.
Recently the little girl’s mood is also infected, afraid that the equivalent of her father was caught in the sky, she spent the day anxious, like a needle. Today, it is rare to find such a good mood.
Neal Williams grabbed her, still not sure of the situation.
Neal Williams greeted Shirley Jones, calling her ‘Auntie’, who was particularly enthusiastic about him, asking him several times She asked him several times if he was tired. He said no, while looking around the hall, then realized that they were not the only ones in the hall.
On the couch, there was Uncle Wolfe Williams, and on the other side were Mr. and Mrs. Steve Brown, and, Penny Brown!
At this moment, seeing the old man coming over, several people have stood up. The old man waved his hand and smiled at Steve Brown, “Sit, no need to stand.”
“You are tired, aren’t you? Rest for a while, dinner will be ready soon over in the kitchen.” Viona Hall laughed.
“Good, one and all of you have been waiting for a long time.” The old man laughed brightly.
A few men started to get together and chat, and Neal Williams was still standing in place, not going over. Not too far away, see Penny Brown cast a glance towards him.
Neal Williams wrinkled his brow and lowered his eyes to ask Ashley Williams, “What’s going on here? Why are they all here?”
“It says it’s a vacation. Might be here for two or three days, did you bring clothes?” Ashley Williams looks at Neal Williams with both hands empty.
Vacation?
Stay for two or three days?
Neal Williams subconsciously glanced at Penny Brown again before returning Ashley Williams’ words, “No. I’m leaving tonight!”
“Leaving tonight? You can’t go. There’s no car again!” Ashley Williams said.
“Wasn’t it the car that just drove me and Grandpa over here?”
“But it has already driven away! Didn’t you see? Just as you entered the door, the car was already gone. Grandpa said that everyone had to stay here, no one was allowed to leave, so he let the car drive away.”
Neal Williams blushed.
Turning his head to look outside, sure enough, the outdoor parking lot in the shadow of the lights was empty.
With a black face, he turned back to see Penny Brown had stood up and was walking towards him. He subconsciously chilled his face. The last time he bullied Andrea Jones, he was particularly unhappy, and now he did not want to talk to her. He turned his face to go out to get some air and make a phone call, but, before he took a step, he was pulled by Shirley Jones without a word.
“Neal, please don’t go!” Shirley Jones pleaded in a low voice.
“Aunt?” He paused in his stride, dropped his eyes, and saw Shirley Jones’ pleading gaze.
“Can’t you see that? This is a special arrangement by the old man for your uncle’s sake. The Ruan family is so fond of you, and now they are willing to come out with us, most of the reasons are because of you. Just help your uncle and your aunt, okay?” Shirley Jones softly begged, in front of her daughter, in front of the younger generation also can not care about face.
Neal Williams, knowing his aunt’s concerns and good intentions as a wife, was ultimately a bit uncomfortable. Patting her hand, he said in a deep voice, “I know, aunt, I’ll see to it.”
Shirley Jones gave him another pleading look, “Please!” said the man, before letting go of Neal Williams’ hand. Ashley Williams looked at Neal Williams and bowed his head in some depression.
“Why the moping?” Neal Williams asked.
“I know that second brother does not like this.” Ashley Williams clutched both hands guiltily, her voice slightly hoarse as if she was about to cry, “I’m depressed … knowing that second brother doesn’t like it, but I can’t help you. And, in fact, I’m as selfish as every one of them adults hoping that second brother will help dad …”
Neal Williams’ eyes deepened. He put his arm around his guilt-ridden little sister and gently coaxed her, “Okay, don’t say anything stupid. It’s not selfish. It’s an instinct to want to protect your loved ones.”
Ashley Williams shed tears, “Sango said we can’t sacrifice Ergo’s happiness! I don’t want my second brother to be unhappy either! But, I only have one dad too … What the hell am I supposed to do?”
She was naive and torn, and suffered for this tangle. It was as if no matter which side she was on, she was committing an unforgivable wrong.
Neal Williams smiled bitterly and didn’t say anything more, just silently helped Ashley Williams wipe away her tears. This is a difficult problem, not for the simple her.
Penny Brown had come over and Neal Williams tapped Ashley Williams on the shoulder and pivoted her, “Go to the kitchen and see what’s on tap for tonight.”
“Oh.” Ashley Williams knew what Neal Williams meant and dutifully walked away.
Witnessing Ashley Williams turn into the kitchen, Neal Williams draws back his eyes. Hands pocketed in his pockets, he turned to look at Penny Brown from above, “Is that funny?”
Seemingly not expecting him to ask this, Penny Brown froze.
“Did I not make it clear enough before? We’ve been over for a long time. Why can’t you just wake up?” He said it with an unusual calmness, without a trace of emotion.
Penny Brown’s hands were clenched so tightly that her fingertips were almost pinched into her flesh. She looked up at Neal Williams, her eyes slightly red, “If you say it’s over, we have to end it? Neal Williams, when I almost died in the pool for you, did you ever have a little regret? A little bit of regret?”
Neal Williams’ thin lips lifted and the words came out, still cold and warm, “I feel guilty, but I don’t regret it.”
He looked at her, his eyes fixed, “I still say, life is your own, if you do not even cherish yourself, no one will cherish for you. And …”
He paused slightly, his eyes solemn, “Penny Brown, don’t joke about your marriage. We’re not right for each other, and we can’t force it.”
Penny Brown’s eyes crossed with a hint of pain, then sneered out and asked aggressively, “Joking? Now that I’m marrying you, you think it’s a joke? But once upon a time, if Andrea Jones hadn’t come along, wouldn’t we have gotten married the way everyone thought we would? We would be a married couple now!”
Neal Williams looked at her and nodded solemnly, “Who says otherwise? Life’s encounters are so amazing, one moment never knows what will happen next, so every moment we have to cherish. But …”
He paused slightly, looked up at Penny Brown, saw the deep obstinacy in her eyes, remembered the excessive things she said with Andrea Jones, couldn’t help but smile lightly, “I’m glad I met her when I wasn’t married to you.” Meeting her was the most beautiful encounter of his life. How could he let go of such a destiny?
Penny Brown’s face went white with a shock.
Tears welled up in the corners of my eyes, angry and embarrassed, “Why do you want to hurt me like this? In your eyes, I have no dignity just because I love you, so I can be trampled on by you?”
