“You go away! You get away from me! I won’t teach him a lesson today …”
Not until later, Mrs. Zhan loosened her chopsticks and suddenly covered her face and cried bitterly. Crying aggrieved, like a child, as if to the bottom of the heart of this long time of fear are crying out. The oldest is gone, this is already her heart can not touch the wound, now the oldest two life is at stake, along with her husband’s body is also bad ruthless …
What day isn’t she living on the edge of a cliff? Every night is a nightmare, only to fear that one day she will open her eyes and her son and husband will be gone. …
Two men, both because of this scene froze. The father of the show was stunned for a moment, and then in the end is threw the chopsticks in the hand, looked at the wife who cried down, and then looked at his son, eyes slightly floating down, in the end, drew a chair to get up, tense face, said: “as you do, love how to make a mess how to make a mess!”
“Mom. Don’t cry …,” Jerry Xiao compassionately drew a tissue and wiped Xiao mother’s tears, “Dad is gone.”
Xiao mother then looked up and took a tissue and wiped her eyes. Thinking that she had just lost her temper in front of her son, she was rather uncomfortable. She sniffled before saying, “Let mom take a look at your injury.”
“It’s fine, just a small problem.” Jerry Xiao faintly shook his head, wanting to not move to hide his arm, but Xiao mother had already grabbed his hand over, seeing those bruises, the tears couldn’t stop again, while helping him to blow, while reproachfully murmuring, “You say how your father is so cruel, his own child beat down and don’t know how to take it lightly. ”
Jerry Xiao bent his head to look at his mother, “I’m the one who apologized to my brother …”
Xiao mother paused in her blowing, and did not look up, but simply repeated the question, “What you say, is it true?”
“Mom, I didn’t have to make up such a lie.” Once they see the child, the truth of the past is clear. The child, is the best proof. But … now, he dared not mention the child …
Xiao mother wailed and cried, “I really don’t know what kind of sin we and the Baker family have created … Who is bad, how come it’s just you and her … ”
“Mom, I want to be with her, even if it’s only for six months …”
Hearing her son’s words, Mrs. Zhan froze. Raising her eyes, she met his firm and obstinate eyes, and as her heart floated, she was unable to say a single word.
A week is a kind of torture for lovers who are separated from each other. Several phone calls a day, but still can not fade the heart of that thought.
Tonight, thirty.
The kids are setting off fireworks with Owen, Yami Hu is playing mahjong with a group of relatives and wives, and Sam Baker is playing chess with a few old men, all in a good mood.
Zoey goes outdoors to have a phone conversation with him in England.
“On your side, is it cold now?” Zoey asked him.
“It’s okay. Mom’s worried about my health and doesn’t let me out much. Totally locked up like a kid now.” He complained.
Zoey then laughed, “Then be good and stay put.”
“You too, be good and wait for me at home.” Through the earpiece, their voices were both soft, but they were the best murmurs between lovers, with that tenderness that seeped into each other’s hearts.
Zoey laughs softly away and looks up at the sky. Tonight, there was no rain or snow, and swarms of fireworks rushed up into the sky, illuminating the sky in dazzling white. The night was as white as day.
“Zoey ?” For a moment, without hearing her voice, Jerry Xiao called lowly over there. She showed a shallow smile, under the fireworks, clear eyes, bright and dazzling, “Next … year at this time, you will take me and the child to go with the fireworks, right?” .
On the other end, there was silence for a while. Only then did he speak in a deep voice: “No need to wait until next year, as long as you want, I’ll take you all there the night after tomorrow.”
“Don’t.” Zoey shakes her head no, exhaling, “Just next year.” She was insistent, wanting a promise, as if, this would smooth out that uneasiness in her heart; as if this was the only way she could hold on to him …
He laughed, his tone a little helpless and doting, “Okay, next year then.”
She finally smiled and waved her hand as she heard the kid and Owen calling out to her. She chatted with Jerry Xiao for a few more minutes before hanging up.
Tomorrow, he’ll be back …
There’s nothing better …
“Zoey, take this.” Owen handed Zoey the least dangerous welding rod in his hand. Takes out his lighter to light it for her.
Rarely playing with such things, she narrowed her eyes in fear, “Won’t this be hot in your hand? I think it’s better not to play with it.” She, to beat a retreat.
“Haha, Zoey is chicken, chicken!” Nini laughed at her and made a face. KK laughed at her too, “That’s really bad yeah. Zoey actually didn’t even play this.”
Being taunted by the two children, she beamed so aggressively. Hmph! When Jerry came back, she had to tell him that his two nice kids actually bullied her!
Owen looks at her aggravated look and smiles warmly. Soothing her, “Don’t worry, promise you won’t get hurt, the kids are daring to play.”
“Really?”
“Fool, when have I ever lied to you?”
With Owen’s assurance, Zoey was relieved to have Owen light it for her. She held it in her hand and watched the incandescent light flicker out, feeling delighted. Like the children, laughing and joking, flinging the electrodes in their hands, letting the brilliant sparks fly in the air in an arc.
Owen Baker looks at the big and two little ones and smiles in relief. The sparkling fireworks lit up the night sky and his eyes.
Such a quiet, peaceful life.
As long as the family is well, she and the children are carefree, then his heart, too, is well and peaceful, without desire …
…
In the midst of all the commotion, a limousine pulls up and stops at their building, and Zoey looks over to see the familiar figure stepping out of the car. Zoey looks over and sees the familiar figure stepping out of the car, saying hello to Owen and then walking towards her and the kids.
“Uncle Lian!”
Zoey suspected that these two smart little kids had their eye on the huge gift he was holding.
“Good boy.” Sea Gu pressed the cheeks of each of the two children and presented them with two New Year’s gifts. The two children laughed and giggled contentedly as they went inside first, and Owen picked up the remaining fireworks from Zoey’s hand and went into the house, leaving the outside to the two of them.
“My mom keeps calling me to ask you to come over for dinner.” Zoey and he said, pawing at his palms.
“Then why didn’t you mention it when I called?” Sea Gu expressed his displeasure.
“Today is a reunion dinner, I asked you to come, you are not reunited in your own home?”
“Just had a few bites of dinner with my dad, didn’t get to talk twice, and stalked off again.” Sea Gu tilted his head and looked at the sky, speaking in a cloudy manner, but the despondency on his face could not be concealed.
Zoey gave him a look, “It’s father and son, why bother? Especially you, why do you always have to mess with your father when you’re the younger one?”
Sea Gu turned his face sideways to say something, the words reached his mouth, and then retracted, waving his hand with some annoyance, “Forget it, it’s New Year’s Eve, talking about these topics spoils the fun.”
“So tell me something you’ve been happy about lately.” Zoey obeyed him.
“Happy things?” Sea Gu thought for a while, and finally frowned, “Ch, there aren’t really many happy things. Speaking of which, the thing that makes me the most angry is the matter of that batch of documents, that woman, the original shadow, actually still withholds mine. Eh, you say, this New Year’s Eve, she can’t have some humanity? Demon … turn around and see how I can straighten her out.”
He muttered to himself, with an air of fierceness that made him want to swallow the other man. Zoey smothered a laugh, “Look at you, you’re like a child. If I were her, I’d withhold it from you, too. What kind of a person asks for a favor and not only doesn’t bow down, but gives her a hard time all the time?”
Sea Gu looked at her askance, “I could tell you were in cahoots with her. You’ve been tearing me down. No honor!”
“But it looks like you’re in a good mood after all the good breeding you’ve been doing lately. What? Something happy?”
Sea Gu asked, Zoey’s eyes smiled a little deeper, into a touch of moving softness, “The children recognized their own daddy, is it a happy event?”
It was not much of a surprise, Sea Gu looked at her face full of happiness, the heart also felt relieved. Some people, is really moved, but even if you can not be together, but also really hope that she lived better than their own …
It was a sentiment that he used to think was nonsense, where could there be such selfless feelings? But now he thought it was aptly said.
But, inevitably, I worry for her, “Your family agrees you’re together?”
“Didn’t explicitly say yes, but now at least it’s not objectionable.”
Sea Gu laughed, “You’re really good, you can even forgive him. If it were me, I would have tortured him to death and begged for forgiveness on my knees.”
“You’re so bad, you’re worried that one day you’ll fall into the hands of some girl and she’ll turn around and make you beg for mercy on your knees.” Zoey gloated.
“Ch, I could have fallen for you, but you didn’t give me a chance to fall.” Sea Gu was unimpressed and narrowed his eyes, “There really won’t be another woman who can make me fall in the future.”
Sea Gu’s words had only fallen when the cell phone in his pocket rang at first. “You wait.” He spoke to Zoey and pulled the phone out, and when he saw the number flashing on the screen, his peach blossom phoenix eyes suddenly narrowed, danger overflowing.
“Who?” Zoey asked curiously as she peeked over her head at how strongly he was reacting.
“Demon.” That’s all he gave her in return, and Zoey laughed with instant realization, spreading her hands out, “See, there’s the one who planted you. Pick it up!”
Sure enough …
That night, Sea Gu originally came to visit Zoey’s family, and before coming, Ben and Zoey put the word that they would eat and stay at their house until they left. But as a result, after receiving a call from the original shadow, and after visiting the Baker family, Sea Gu left in a hurry, carrying the fine tea leaves that Zoey wanted to give to Dong Gu.
On the first day of the month, Zoey took the kids and followed the family to visit relatives. It was a full day. Thinking that he would be back early tomorrow morning, Zoey wanted to give him a surprise, so she took the kids to his house that night.
After putting the baby to bed, Zoey lay in his bed. In her breath, it was all his scent, making her feel content. In a trance, she remembered that a few months ago, she was also lying in his big bed like this, waiting for him to come back with all her heart …
This feeling, it’s amazing …
It actually felt like a wife waiting at home for her husband to return.
She smiled to herself at the thought, putting her phone on the alarm before falling asleep contentedly.
