“Me?”
Elena Bush hooked her lips and pulled back the tears that were about to fall, “Edward Ford, don’t think I’m going to believe you just because you’re running up to me and showing pity, that’s not what I need, and it’s not your the Ford Group!”
“I didn’t mean it like that, I just wanted to make amends ……”
“In that case, you should spend your life trying to make amends, not running away!”
The words spat out in a clear voice were so weighty that Edward Ford’s entire body instantly froze.
He looked dumbfounded at Elena Bush in front of him with a mixture of joy and sadness ……
“Elena, actually, you don’t have to pity me, all this, is of my own making.”
Elena Bush looked away coldly, “I’m not pitying you, I’m talking about the reality of the situation.”
She didn’t need him to make her whole with his so-called sacrifice, she had really had enough of that experience and didn’t want to experience it herself again ……
“So, you still won’t forgive me?” He lowered his eyes, unable to hide his hurt.
Elena Bush pursed her lips and didn’t look at him, just said lightly, “There’s no forgiveness or not, I haven’t hated you, so what’s the point of forgiving?”
If she could, she would rather she didn’t have to make that choice.
Edward Ford’s lips twitched, tears welling up in his eyes.
What was the difference between not having hated and not having taken to heart …… and a stranger?
The words fell on his ears, but he couldn’t help but feel that it would have been better if she had hated him, then at least he would have been remembered by her.
“I see ……” he smiled to himself, vaguely understanding what was going on, “Elena, you say, how nice it would be if time could start all over again, and I could make the choice again, make it up to Joanna again Lake, to keep her by my side in another right way ……”
“Only sadly, there is no if!”
Elena Bush sneered, “Edward Ford, you actually knew you were doing the wrong thing back then, but what about you? What did you do afterwards? There’s no point in talking about it now!”
Edward Ford was choked by her words, and a pot of cold water poured down from the sky, wetting him from head to toe, making him completely cold ……
She was right, he knew he had done wrong, but chose to make the same mistake again and again.
He thought that Joanna Lake loved him and that in time she would come around and stay by his side ……
Later, Joanna Lake died. After finding Elena Bush, he still thought that she was just as stubborn as Joanna Lake and that there would be a day when she would give in, but he was proven wrong, dead wrong!
And he, too, was in too deep a hole to save himself.
Edward Ford smiled and got up, patting his body, not knowing what he had figured out, all at ease, “Elena, I will listen to you, live well, live with this sin on my back, and will not do anything to make you but feel bad again.”
“I …… I’m not worried about you!” Elena Bush stubbornly denies it.
Only, that look of weakness had already betrayed her.
Edward Ford laughed lowly and pulled her to her feet.
His hand patted her shoulder and when he withdrew it, his trembling hand retracted behind his back, “Elena, I’d really like you to call me Daddy if I could, but ….. I don’t know if that day will ever come… …”
“Who knows?”
A soft, inaudible response was blown away by the wind just as it fell.
Edward Ford looked over at her in surprise, almost thinking he had misheard.
“Elena …….”
He stumbled over his words, his speech trailing off, “Did you just say, say what? Can you say that again?”
“I didn’t say anything, and it’s time for you to go back!” Elena Bush turned her back and didn’t look at him.
Edward Ford nodded repeatedly, obviously as cold as he was, but his heart couldn’t help but follow suit, his brow laced with a smile that couldn’t be swept away.
“I’ll come back to see the baby when he’s full term, and to see you too.”
“There’s no need for that ……”
Elena Bush immediately turned and anxiously tried to retort, but when she looked again at the man behind her, she found that he had left long ago with a single word, giving her no chance to respond.
Perhaps …… he had already guessed her answer and had taken the initiative to avoid it to keep he mind occupied.
The distant back fell into her eyes and a flash of surprise caused her to jerk her eyes back and she shook her head.
When she returned to the ward, Logan Brown was holding a long-awake Harvey, who was not at all lazy, but rather lively, trying to reach for the man’s sleeve, but unable to hold on to it, so that a small emotion had begun to form on his face.
Finally, after three times of impatience, Harvey let out a loud cry and immediately burst into tears.
She was so frightened that she pushed open the door of the ward and rushed in. Inside, Logan Brown looked at her with an innocent face, afraid that she would blame him, which made her want to laugh ……
The little woman glanced at him with an afterimage and grunted, “What, am I that intimidating?”
“No.” Logan Brown immediately defended, “I’m just afraid …… I don’t hold a higher regard in her ladyship’s heart than Harvey does.”
“Pfft!”
Elena Bush couldn’t hold back and covered her lips, “Where did you get that idea?”
Besides, they were both equally important in her mind, there was no one who was less important.
Logan Brown shrugged, coaxing Harvey as he said, “Zach Stone says that every mommy’s focus after she has a baby is on the baby and she neglects the husband she has with her.”
“……”
Elena Bush sent him a direct glare, stepped forward and rubbed his handsome face saying, “Since when do you listen to him? Weren’t you the one who told me to stay out of his way and listen to him less?”
Now what’s changed all of a sudden?
Logan Brown raised an eyebrow and laughed, “This remark needs to be considered, so let’s keep it in mind for the time being. Everything has to wait for practice before making a decision.”
Elena Bush nodded and then moved forward to hug him and snuggle into his arms humming, “Then I’ll prove him wrong!”
“Hmm?”
“Because you and the baby are both part of my life, inseparable, and I can’t live without either one!” The little woman met his dark eyes full of laughter and said, “Mister Brown, I wonder if that answer is satisfactory to you?”
