“You’re nuts! Do you know what kind of relationship we have, I’m your sister!” Penny Brown punched him like crazy, and she didn’t know why she was so angry, as if she hated him for being so cruel as to poke the otherwise good relationship between them. He knew full well that once some things were said, there would be no going back between them …
Lewis Brown easily clasped her hands and raised them above her head. The body of a tall man is pressing against her, and the eyes are so heavy that they seem to want to eat her up, “I love you, and that makes you so miserable? You love Neal Williams like crazy, don’t you? Penny Brown, have you ever thought that your madness also makes Neal Williams hate you as much as you hate me!”
His words, once again, stung her. Although, she actually does not hate him … but, now she no longer wants to say. Full of heart only want to throw back all the hurt he gave himself.
“So what? Even so, it’s my own choice, it’s not up to you! Since you know how much I loathe you, what are you doing staying in front of my eyes now? You disappear from my sight immediately!” She roared in agitation.
Pain, from the bottom of his eyes crossed. He stared at her fiercely with his eyes, as if to penetrate her heart, making her feel inexplicably frightened. However, he refused to admit defeat and raised his lower jaw, coldly grunting, “How about it? Do you still want to kiss me? Or, do you want to go further and rape me? Not love me crazy? Go ahead! You try!”
Lewis Brown’s grip on her hand tightened inch by inch, “Penny Brown, don’t you make me!”
Penny Brown tears flowing down her face, red eyes looking at him, “I forced you? Lewis Brown, how dare you say you love me … you call me cheap, you taunt me, not all for Andrea Jones? What kind of love is that?”
Her tears made Lewis Brown’s heart ache. However, it also made him more annoyed.
“Is it that if I don’t care about anything and let you marry any man, you’ll be happy? Is it that letting you do anything stupid is loving you?!”
“Yes! You don’t care about me, that’s the best love for me!”
He looked at her coldly, those eyes were blinded by endless darkness, and then he suddenly let go of her and stood up straight.
Penny Brown looked at him in a daze, without his body heat envelope, relieved at the same time, the heart inexplicably feel uncomfortable.
Under her uncomprehending eyes, he opened his lips and each word became unusually cool and thin, as if all his feelings were depleted, “Penny Brown, you remember this! This is the first time I’ve said I love you, and it’s the last time!”
She opened her lips to say something, but the mouth of her throat felt like it was blocked by cotton, leaving her breathless.
He continued, his voice colder, word for word, desperate and heartless, “From now on, you want to marry anyone, I will not care! In the future … whether it will be a dark life or not, it is no longer my business!”
There was a pause before he continued, “Penny Brown, you take care of yourself!”
With that, the door was thrown shut with a ‘bang-‘, with such a particularly heavy force that even the walls were shaken and trembled. He is no longer there, Penny Brown is still sitting dumbfounded on the bed, half a long time, snapped back to consciousness, she leapt from the bed, “Lewis Brown!”
With a shriek, he ran barefoot and pulled open the door, but where was Lewis Brown at that moment? Only Viona Hall came out of the bedroom with her clothes on. She was just awakened by the loud commotion, now see her daughter in tears, lost in thought look are stunned.
“What’s wrong? Calling him in the house in the middle of the night?” Viona Hall asked busily, walking over and touching the tears on her face, “Why are you crying? Aren’t you in a good mood to get married?”
“Mom, where’s Lewis Brown?” Penny Brown cried harder and harder.
“Just now I came out only to see his shadow wandering past here, did he go out? Eh, did you have a fight with him?” Viona Hall looked at her daughter, and then looked downstairs with her head hanging in worry. He mustn’t have gone out so late in the evening in a rage.
“He’s bullying me! Mom, he … he …” she was about to accuse Lewis Brown of kissing her, but then, remembering something, she stopped talking at the end of her sentence. I’m afraid that if I tell you this kind of thing, it will scare Mom and Dad enough. It’s okay to be scared, and maybe … will kick Lewis Brown out of the Ruan house.
“What’s wrong with him?” Viona Hall saw that she hadn’t said anything twice and was anxious.
Penny Brown stomped her foot and said gamely, “Nothing, no more!”
“Who are you gambling with at this time of night?” Viona Hall scolded her lightly and wiped her tears, “You are siblings, what can’t you talk about properly? Look at you, you’re about to get married and you’re still fighting with your brother to the point of tears, what do you think you’re doing? You must be bullying Lewis Brown again.”
Viona Hall rambled on, knowing that she was fighting with Lewis Brown and not worrying about it, since everyone knew that Lewis Brown was good to her anyway, and Penny Brown got upset, “Mom, who said I was bullying him, he was bullying me!”
“All right, all right, all these years, Lewis Brown has always been obedient to you. Even if you are bullied this time, you deserve it.” Viona Hall pushed her through the door, “Stop it and go to bed. I have to go call him and tell him to come home early.”
Penny Brown was pushed back to the room, she grabbed the blanket back to bed, closed her eyes and intended to sleep, but, thinking about Lewis Brown’s last words of determination, a heart inexplicably like being put on the fire, constantly tormented, so she tossed and turned unable to sleep.
The hand, touching her lips, as if Lewis Brown’s breath was still there. This annoyed and annoyed her even more.
Which part of the process went wrong? Why did things turn out this way!
Neal Williams was buried in his work and rarely returned to the apartment. Without her, he was afraid to get close to it. Everywhere, it was as if a shadow of her was left behind.
On the sofa, as if she was still shrinking there like a kitten … lazy and sleepy …
Recliner, she concentrated on reading, looking forward to flying free … very focused, beautiful and moving …
Now she is in New York, is she okay? Is it scary to be alone in a strange city? Has the pain of losing a child, faded away? And will …, when she sleeps, occasionally think of herself as he thinks of her?
Neal Williams suddenly did not dare to think further, put down the pen in his hand and rubbed his brow with difficulty. Garret Miller pushed his way in.
“It doesn’t seem to be in good shape, do you want me to give you a few days off?” Garret Miller asked.
“It’s not necessary.” He really didn’t know what to do when he was on vacation. It was just occupied by that mind-numbing emptiness. It felt good to live such a full life now, instead. At least, it would numb out his mind.
Garret Miller gave him a worried look, pulled the swivel chair and sat down, “Honestly, you don’t have to push yourself so hard. Anyway, there’s business over in New York, so why don’t you and Liang Chen switch sides? Let him come back and you go over.”
Neal Williams shook his head and turned away, dropping his eyes farther out the window. “The circle of my life has tied her up in exhaustion … Now, I just want her to live a life of ease and comfort.”
Garret Miller understands what he’s thinking. Sighing, he shook his head, “None of that family of yours is frugal. Hopefully, they look up to me.”
Neal Williams didn’t say anything more and Garret Miller pursed his lips or asked, “You and Penny Brown …”
Before he could finish his question, Neal Williams’ cell phone on the table rang abruptly. After looking at the number on it, he brought it over and pressed it to his ear.
“Neal, you come back here.” On the other end, Bonnie Williams’ voice rang out, a little panicked. She is always in a state of crisis, rarely like this, you can imagine that there must be something serious.
Neal Williams got up to get his coat and drape it over his body as he asked, “What happened?”
“Dad … Dad wants to divorce Mom!”
Neal Williams was stunned, and his grip on the phone tightened slightly. He pursed his lips, “Wait for me, I’ll be right back.”
“Okay, you hurry up!” Bonnie Williams hurriedly hung up the phone, and at the last moment Neal Williams also heard his mother’s cries from the phone, harsh, aggravated, heartbreaking.
“What’s wrong?” Garret Miller asked, standing up when he saw his pale face.
“Something came up at home.” Neal Williams grabbed the car keys, “I’ll go ahead and leave it to you at the office.”
Garret Miller nodded, looked at his back, and added, “Hey, if you’re really getting married, are the invitations going to be sent out?”
Neal Williams left without a backward glance.
When Neal Williams arrived home, Beck Williams was coming downstairs with his bags and Christina Sanchez rushed up crying, “Honey, don’t you go! Don’t you go …”
She was haggard and vulnerable at this time. Beck Williams’ face didn’t ease at all, “Let go, I can’t live with someone as selfish as you!”
“How can I be selfish? I’m doing it because I love you. …” Christina Sanchez burst into tears and cried so hard it hurt. Regardless of her husband’s attitude, she just clung to him and refused to let go.
“Christina Sanchez, you are in no position to talk about the word ‘love’!” Beck Williams looked at her with disappointment in her eyes and a sense of anger and remorse at the memory of the old days, “If you knew what love was, why did you join the old lady and the girls in forcing Neal to marry Penny Brown when the old lady was confused and you are still confused? If you knew what love was, how could you have thrown Charleen out when you knew she was pregnant with my child? Do you know that she almost died there that time!”
Not to mention Charleen Davis is fine, mentioned, Christina Sanchez so many years of grievances pour out all. Tears are flowing.
“I knew … I knew you were divorcing me under the guise of what happened to Neal! It’s because of her … or because of Charleen Davis that you’re divorcing me! When did you ever forget her after all these years? Have you ever thought about how unfair this is to me!”
“For so many years, I tried so hard to get over her and make myself fall in love with you.” Beck Williams looked into Christina Sanchez’s hurt-covered eyes, and his eyes were a little heartless, “But I’m sorry that after all these years, I was never curious about you!”
Christina Sanchez was so angry that she sucked in her breath and raised her hand and slapped Beck Williams hard. That blow, so Bonnie Williams and Neal Williams are stunned, Bonnie Williams subconsciously want to go forward, Neal Williams reached out to stop, stopped.
Beck Williams didn’t even move an eyebrow after the slap. Just looked at her more coldly and said in a low voice: “You take care of yourself! Don’t come back to regret when even your son doesn’t want you in the future!”
Christina Sanchez looked up from her shock at the desperate back and screamed in despair, “You go! Leave and never come back!”
But …
In response to her, there was only the heavy sound of the door closing, and the man walked away without looking back.
