Her eyelashes blinked gently, and her hand couldn’t help but cover her stomach.
The child in the belly also needs to eat after all, it is already more than four months, the child in the belly needs nutrition urgently, if it does not get nutrition, it is also not good for the child.
After thinking and hesitating for a moment, Vivian turned back and looked at the table with two dishes and one soup, one meat and one vegetarian, with a balanced mix.
She lifted the bedding and got up, put on her shoes, carried the tray again, brought the dishes to the dining room, and sat down to eat in silence.
Edward looked at her forlorn back, many words to the mouth or swallowed back.
She sat in the restaurant eating, he stood on the balcony smoking, the two were in one space, but it was like people living in two worlds.
Vivian carried the rice, chewed slowly, looked at the other rice noodles on the table, seemed to be a grain of untouched, she frowned, the corner of her eyes could not help but glance at the man standing on the balcony.
“Do you know what really happened to the Henderson Family back in the day?”
Ryoko, Edward flicked the cigarette ash, and asked a serious question.
Vivian shook her head, “Not sure.”
It’s true that she doesn’t know anything except that there was a murder and that it had something to do with her mother.
But one thing Vivian knew in her heart was that the feud between the previous generation should not be pursued to them.
“And don’t want to know.”
At the end, she added another sentence.
Edward’s hand holding the cigarette stiffened slightly, his eyes gloomy for a few minutes, then did not speak again.
In the afternoon, Vivian went to Vivian’s mother’s grave again.
Edward sent her there, but was refused.
Vivian bought a bouquet of flowers from a roadside florist and took a taxi to the cemetery.
Standing in front of Vivian’s mother’s tombstone, she gently knelt down, “Mom, I’m sorry.”
Looking at the black and white photo of her mother on the tombstone, Vivian’s heart sank and an indescribable sadness came over her.
“Vivian I’m sorry Mom, I … I’m pregnant with the Henderson Family’s baby …”
Everything is not as it should be. Facing the Henderson Family is like the enemy of her mother’s death to Vivian, and even though she now knows the truth, she can’t forgive Edward for a while in her heart.
The child in her womb is the Henderson Family’s, which is the mother’s murderer’s.
If it wasn’t for the fact that she cared so much about kinship and didn’t want to let her biological child go in her womb, she really didn’t want to give birth to the child.
Naive Vivian cares too much about affection and wants it more than anything else.
Tears, silent and falling.
She choked with tears and said, “I know you must be very angry, but Mom … I’m so lonely, I really want someone to be with me, even if it’s a child.”
What can a friend, even Adriana, who is better than a sister, do?
They are not family after all, and the kind of kinship she craves cannot be replaced by friendship.
At this moment, Edward came with flowers in his arms, just in time to hear Vivian’s words, at that moment, his pace was stopped, standing not far away and staring at the woman’s back, did not speak for a long time.
“Mom, I’m tired, I’m really tired.”
I raised my hand, gently over the tombstone, fingertips rubbed the cheeks of my mother on the photo, tears like rain, “after pregnant with his child, I never dared to tell anyone, even when leaving were the Henderson Family people’s intention. I know that no matter what, I don’t deserve the Henderson Family and never wanted to marry into the Henderson Family, but I was afraid … I was afraid that the Henderson Family would steal the baby from me… …”
Vivian shook her head and cried more fiercely, as if all the feelings repressed in her heart were gushing out at this moment.
“After my initial miscarriage, the doctor said that the walls of my uterus were very thin and that I might not be able to have any more children. So the arrival of this child surprised and delighted me, but scared me at the same time. Now that Edward knew about the baby, I was only afraid that sooner or later the people of the Henderson Family would learn of the baby’s existence. How could Old Mr. Henderson and his people … let the Henderson Family’s child stray? Mom, I … I … should … what should I do …”
When she finished, she cupped her cheeks in her hands, shaking her shoulders and choking back sobs.
Edward, who was standing on the sidelines, saw Vivian remove her disguise and cried her heart out with extremely mixed feelings.
The tightly knitted eyebrows flowed between the thick haze, so that people could not detect his joy, anger and sadness.
The hand holding the flowers gradually drops and holds them upside down, placing one hand in the pocket of his suit pants.
Halfway through the day, he turned around and went down the hill.
Vivian stayed on the mountain for a long, long time before coming down.
After descending the mountain, I realized that Edward was actually at the bottom of the mountain.
She didn’t say anything, didn’t struggle, and got right into Edward’s car, “Go back to Waverly.”
The old home was a sad place, and Vivian didn’t want to drown herself in grief; she didn’t want to let the child in her womb drown in her grief and affect the physical development of her little one.
Edward didn’t say anything, just started the sedan and drove slowly towards Waverly.
On the way, Edward drove very steadily, not too fast, not much time to get on the highway.
Arrived in Waverly in two hours.
“Where to?”
Just entering Waverly’s territory, Edward asked.
“Heh, where else could it go?”
Now she has nowhere to return to, and nowhere at all is safe except to Asnana villa in Adriana.
Snort–
The car drove to the side of the road and suddenly stopped.
Edward unbuckled his seat belt, “Wait for me for a moment.”
Vivian didn’t say anything, thinking he was getting out of the car to buy cigarettes.
Not long after, Edward came over, got into the car, and then put a pile of things in her arms, “This is some nutrition and calcium tablets for pregnant women, remember to take them.”
The car starts again and moves slowly forward.
Vivian looked down at the things in his arms, are some pregnant women’s nutrition, what pregnant women’s calcium tablets, pregnant women’s milk powder and tonic those things.
Faced with Edward’s sudden ‘tenderness’, she was not surprised, after all, it was the Henderson Family’s flesh and blood in her belly.
He just doesn’t want his children to be aggravated.
How could Vivian not understand that.
The world is so big that no one but her mother and Ms. Hale would care if she lived or died, much less how she felt.
Vivian clearly faces the reality without any extravagance or fantasy.
“I’ll take you somewhere.”
Edward spoke up.
“What?”
His sudden remark made Vivian’s brain a little confused, what was he going to take her to again?
Without waiting for her to refuse or agree, Edward’s car had already turned the corner and was headed somewhere else.
Vivian didn’t say anything and was very quiet.
Twenty minutes or so later, the car drove into a villa and parked in the courtyard.
Vivian looked at the villa, didn’t get out of the car, and simply asked, “Where is this?”
“This is the villa that … gave you.”
Edward said after a moment of silence.
Vivian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, froze, the corners of her lips pulled out a touch of sarcasm, “The baby hasn’t been born yet, so you’re in a hurry to get rid of me with a villa so soon?”
She shook her head and took a deep breath, “Mr. Henderson, you don’t have to do this. I told you, if you the Henderson Family take away the children, there will be no more Vivian in this world, so what if you give me a villa? It’s useless. At least, I can’t use it.”
