When he saw his grandfather’s will, he really did not know how to teach Halle. But when he wanted to take her as his responsibility, she told him that she had someone else’s baby. So far, he still felt that the birth of Nylah and Amirah was a miracle, because she has been within his sight then and he didn’t kill her.
“It was for grandpa, and now, for whom?” His words made her anguish, like a knife across her heart.
He did not love her, and why not leave her alone?
For whom?
Thinking of Helle, he suddenly stopped smiling. he had been a playboy for too long, and it was time for him to settle down. Thinking of Helle’s birthday in the corner, he cannot help feeling upset, “Halle, I am not for anyone, I am just for myself.”
“I am very sorry, now, I have nothing to do with you. I have no obligation to promise you.” She refused straightforward. She was an ostrich, and never wanted to be with him, because she was afraid of being hurt. Now she was a mother of two kids, and she must be responsible to them. Otherwise, she would really be the mistress in others’ eyes, as long as he didn’t marry her.
“Do you think so?” Turning to glance at her, he said casually.
“What do you mean?”
“What do you think?”
“You don’t keep a secret, and I won’t promise anyhow.”
Ronan turned the steering wheel and then said slowly, “I still remember the two agreements that you gave back to me when you left?”
“I gave it back to you, and it’s no longer valid.” Just she returned it, so she thought she had nothing more to do with him. Naive!
“Halle, you had something forgotten, so you have to be with me again according to the agreements.”
“You…”
“There are some words very important in the agreements. I think you are not so forgetful. As for my proposal, you think twice to answer me again, when the time comes, I will come forward to solve the matter about Hunter.”
“Ronan, you are forcing me.”
“Am I? I let you to think about it.” He was tired, only thinking that he needed regular women, two or three, so that he could make more time to do something meaningful.
“There’s nothing to think…”
He pressed the button of the soundproof glass, and the slowly opened glass held her words back. She was afraid that Nylah and Amirah would hear something.
“Uncle, we arrived. I haven’t spent enough time on the cartoon.”
“You can continue tomorrow. Come on, be ready to get off.”
“Uncle Bad, are you really going to buy us ice cream?” He treated them with the cartoon just now, and he was going to treat them with ice cream. To be honest, Amirah and Nylah never bearing grudges began to look forward to the ice cream. The little ones were much fond of ice cream.
“Well, I’ll treat you with ice cream, but don’t be greedy. It’s bad for your teeth.”
“Uncle Bad, why do you say the same thing with Mommy? Whenever we want ice cream Mommy says it’s bad for our teeth.”
“Is that so? That’s because your mommy and I have one heart.” As he said so, he stopped the car. Only did Halle want to rebut his so-called ‘have one heart’, but the scene outside the car made her suddenly surprised.
She thought MD Ice Cream Shop was a usual ice cream shop, but actually it was so elegant. His visit here was full of pomp. Upon he stopped the car, there came several welcome ladies in a row, everyone in a pink qipao. It was cut finely. The bottom was not slashed too much, which highlighted the charm of those ladies, but made them decent in front of children.
The car door was opened, and it was impossible for Halle to escape. Several ladies immediately surrounded her, as if she was a star who had just got off the plane, but was forcibly embraced by fans without bodyguards by side.
“This way, please.”
She looked back at Nylah and Amirah, who had also been surrounded by the welcome ladies. They walked happily into the gorgeous gate hand in hand.
“Halle. Don’t worry. The children won’t get lost.” Ronan, by her side, whispered, “The service here is first-class, and the ice cream is particularly delicious.”
She of course knew that was true, but she really could not afford to be a guest in such a place. Thinking of her shop which will never welcome its opening day, she got anxiety. Ronan and Hunter had given her an option respectively, which she could not make a choice.
Taking the lift to the second floor, she immediately heard a slow music. In the second floor, there were no other people, but them and the waitress following, except for the violinist in the corner.
Fresh african daisy could be seen everywhere. So he still liked the african daisy.
The white and pink african daisy decorated the whole hall like a dreamy place.
Nylah and Amirah had arrived, as well as Kingsley. Waiters came and took them to a castle of joy. Looking at the castle, Nylah, Amirah and Kingsley immediately rushed into the castle, one jumping on the trampoline, one playing the slide, and one riding on a wooden horse. Unexpectedly, the facilities of the castle were so complete. How big the hall was! No wonder Kingsley was so fond of playing here. It was really a children’s playroom, because the ice cream and castle of joy were kids’ favorite.
“Sit, let them play for a while first. Let’s have a look at the menu. What Nylah and Amirah are going to get?”
She really can’t escape. There were waiters at the stairs, ready to serve them.
In such a beautiful place, she felt as if she were in a cage…
“Everything is ok.” She said casually, feeling very uncomfortable sitting here.
“All right, let me.” He chuckled and said to the waiter, “Three strawberries, three snow pears, two chocolates, two grapes and one mango, please.”
“OK, Mr. Grunt, please wait a moment.”
It suddenly turned into silence around, which made her uneasy. she stood up quietly to see her kids there, but was stopped by Ronan, “sit, and listen to music to relax. It is very nice here.”
Yes, he was right, but she couldn’t relax with him sitting next to her. “I want to see the kids.”
“No one is happier than them, and then they will come with the ice cream. You just sit.”
She sat back, with the edge of her clothes twining her fingers inadvertently. She was staring at the african daisy with a faraway expression.
“What are you thinking of? Me?”
“No.” She answered him without hesitation.
“If you don’t decide, I’m afraid Hunter will make you drown by spiting. He is a totally sordid merchant now.”
Halle turned to look at Ronan who leaned on the leather chair elegantly, “He is just the director of the Letters and Visits Bureau, and why can he even intervene in city construction?
“He married Natalie Doyle, and her father is now the head of the provincial Party committee.”
“Wait, I beg your pardon. Do you mean that Natalie Doyle’s father is now a very senior official?”
“Yes, the Doyle family can hide the truth from the masses in T city.”
Halle was more and more confused, “Ronan, should not you be to cheat me?” He didn’t want to help her, so he exaggerated the Doyle family’s influence.
“You can find out the identity of Jonah Doyle by searching online.” Pointing at the table, the rhythm was just right for the music that the violinist was playing.
“If…… If so, why did Doyle family allow her son-in-law to look for… for… for a mistress?” Blurting out, she turned red. The word was so hard for her.
“It’s quite common. You can refuse my offer, and perhaps tomorrow you will know what you want to know now.” Then he waved to the violinist in the corner, and the violinist immediately came to him while playing. “Sadness in Your Eyes. Do you like it?”
She nodded and she did like Annie Liang’s song, Like Fog, Rain and Wind. When she was puzzled with his question. Ronan had stood out and taken over the violin, instantly, the familiar melody rang through the hall.
She recalled the lyrics of the song and sang to the music…
Accompanied by the moving violin song, Halle sang gently. Halle wondered why Ronan was playing this song, which seemed to be the whispers between lovers. But he said, he will never fall in love with any woman.
Looking at this handsome face of concentration, she was nearly fascinated. His face looked charming, inducing her heart to beat with his song, in spite of the light imprint on his face.
Pure flowers, soft violin song, all of which at this moment were like a dream, Halle’s heart filled with the dream. It was also at this moment that she suddenly felt his sadness, emanating from his whole body.
The sad was so rich.
The three little one had stopped playing. Because the waiters had told them that the ice cream was going to be served. The three rushed out of the castle. With wide eyes, Nylah said in surprise, “Kingsley, your uncle played the violin greatly, as great as that in the TV show.”
