Eva Taylor only knows that Alex Brown has come back from the dead, but she doesn’t know what’s going on, but she can guess a few things about the situation. She is afraid that Emma Rosy is still in love with Alex Brown, and that after the reunion, her poor brother will become a lonely man again.
She decided to talk to her brother in secret, just to be cautious.
A phone call had just ended when Joe Wright’s voice suddenly came overhead.
“Ah!!!”
She screamed in shock and stood up so violently that she almost threw the phone out.
Joe Wright laughed at the look on her face that said “I’m a thief”, but deliberately put on a scary face: “Who were you talking to?”
“Uh… that…” Eva Taylor can not lie at all, confessed: “With my brother! I want Emma to be my sister-in-law, but Alex Brown is back and I’m afraid…”
Before he finished explaining, Joe Wright nodded approvingly, “Let your brother and Alex Brown compete fairly, very good.”
In fact, in Joe Wright’s private heart, more hope Emma Rosy married Charles Taylor, leaving aside love, at least to be protected and loved for life.
Eva Taylor was already thinking about how to apologize to him, not expecting her little gesture to be supported, and was relaxing and letting out a long breath when another thought popped into her head.
“Are they the only two people involved in a fair fight?”
She stared intently at Joe Wright, not letting go of any change in his expression.
Joe Wright was stunned, then understood what she meant and found it ridiculous, moreover, he thought she was being unreasonable: “What are you trying to say?”
“It’s not what I want to say that matters, it’s what you want to do.”
Doubt is like a seed that draws nourishment from the minutiae and at some point breaks through the ground and grows into a hideous gesture.
In the past few days, Royal Awad’s words have lingered in the back of her mind, and just because Eva Taylor has forced herself not to think about them doesn’t mean she’s forgotten. So when she saw Joe Wright’s attitude at the moment, she thought she had hit him where it hurt and that was what had caused him to become irritated.
“You also want to go to a fair fight, right? Even if you can’t do it, you must think so in your heart, right? Eva Taylor sternly questioned, and I’m afraid even she understood how she suddenly lost control of her anger when she was fine earlier.
Master Wright and the children are at home, Joe Wright does not want them to worry, look at each other for a long time, softened his tone and said: “We are engaged, do not think about it. You seemed to like that dessert store yesterday, I’ll take you to eat.”
“If you don’t have a ghost in your heart, why are you running away? Why don’t you dare to answer me directly?” Eva Taylor shook off his hand and took a few steps back, her stern gaze looked like she was looking at a prisoner.
“Stop it.” Joe Wright glanced in the direction of the living room and went back to pulling Eva Taylor: “Let’s go for a walk and calm down before we talk, okay?”
Eva Taylor violently pushed him away, her face looked like sulking, like aggression, and her voice was getting higher: “You’ll be like this, and when I calm down, I won’t dare to ask this again! You know I like you and don’t dare to make you angry, that’s why you are reckless!”
Since the relationship, Eva Taylor for the first time this out of control, whether coaxing or reasoning, she also completely do not listen to, Joe Wright patience is limited, finally annoyed, they left her in place, he went into the study alone.
The cold war lasted for half an hour, and Joe Wright came downstairs to the sound of Master Wright’s command.
“Eva is going home, why don’t you come and see her off? Turning his back on Eva Taylor, Master Wright couldn’t stop winking, simply worrying about his grandson’s love.
Without waiting for Joe Wright to say anything, Eva Taylor snaps back, “No, Grandpa, my driver is right outside.”
The relationship between Joe Wright and Eva Taylor has been lukewarm since the Taylor family came over to the Wright family and caused a series of problems, and the proposal has been put on hold. master Wright was already worried that their relationship would deteriorate, and when he heard them arguing upstairs just now, he was even more worried.
“Joe!” Master Wright glared at Joe Wright reproachfully, “Eva came to spend the night with Hope and Keira and chatted with me, you!”
Joe Wright took a deep breath, his face vaguely irritated, as well as a strong innocent.
In fact, he knew why Eva Taylor was jealous tonight, it was just that what the Taylor Family did made him unhappy, and despite his best efforts to restrain it, it would always spill over to Eva Taylor.
After a brief goodbye, he didn’t look at Eva Taylor again and turned straight to the stairs.
In the hospital, Alex Brown took advantage of his “injury” to enjoy Emma Rosy’s feeding service, but was still not satisfied, demanding to eat fruit.
Two apples, a banana and three bunches of cherries had just entered his stomach, and then he said he was thirsty and insisted on drinking water.
After drinking water, his palm brushed against his hard stomach, and then he gritted his teeth and said, “It seems… a bit underfed.”
Emma Rosy stared at him incredulously, her sight like an X-ray, sweeping from head to tail: “Are you sure? Otherwise, I’ll get a doctor to come over and check you out.”
“No, burp-” Alex Brown hastily refused, but in the panic, he made some kind of strange sound.
The atmosphere froze for a moment until a blush crept up Alex Brown’ cheeks and he buried his head in embarrassment.
So he was lying to her again.
Knowing why Alex Brown did what he did, Emma Rosy still felt angry, as if she was a fool and whenever he wanted to tease her, all he had to do was make up a lie and she would obey.
“I’m going to take out the trash.”
Grabbing a lunch box from the table, Emma Rosy walked quickly out of the hospital room and leaned back against the wall, tilting her head to restrain the tears that were coming out.
She had stayed in the hospital all day to take care of Alex Brown, but she hadn’t had a moment’s peace of mind.
The sarcasm of Brown’ family was nothing, and the insults of her former colleagues did not upset her, but the man she loved so much was always breaking her heart.
She wanted to know why Alex Brown had agreed to stay with her, why he had deliberately found a reason to be near her, but she didn’t have the courage to ask. She knew very well that even if she asked, Alex Brown would use memory loss as an excuse, even if she vaguely felt that he hadn’t forgotten her at all.
Even the strongest feelings, can not withstand repeated deception, not even trust, how can it last?
What’s more, there was Ivy Smith between them.
What is her existence, a third party?
There may be too many complicated relationships in marriage, but love should be pure.
After sitting alone in the hallway for a long time, she finally took out her cell phone, edited a line of text messages, sent them, stood up, and walked despondently to the elevator.
Alex Brown was sitting on the edge of the bed when he heard the door open and turned back quickly.
Eric Chan stood in the doorway, a text message lying in his phone.
— Come take care of Alex Brown, I shouldn’t be here.
Seeing the text message, Alex Brown did not have any surprise, instead the corners of his lips gently rose, showing a slightly sad smile.
He had guessed that with Emma Rosy’s heart, she would never stay with him for no reason knowing that he had a fiancée. The warmth and happiness of today was stolen from her by him.
That night, Alex Brown was discharged from the hospital, and Emma Rosy sat in the Wright Family’s back garden, drinking wine at night.
Joe Wright appeared behind her at some point, and by the time Emma Rosy spotted him, the beer bottle had been snatched from her hand.
“Stay away from Alex Brown.”
No need to ask her why she was drinking, why she was in a bad mood, anyone could see that it had to do with Alex Brown.
“Alex Brown returned to reclaim the entire family fortune that had been divided among his relatives, using countless underhanded tactics in the process.”
Emma Rosy leaned over, and she plucked a slender blade of grass from her foot and played with it in her fingers: “So.”
“So he’s ruthless now, no longer the man you remember.” Joe Wright was slightly eager
“Really?” Emma Rosy tilted her head, a sudden gust of wind blew, the dark clouds dispersed, the bright moonlight reflected in the eyes, clear and bright.
Alex Brown was once a ruthless man, wasn’t he?
“He has always been such a person.” Emma Rosy faintly concluded, and then picked up the beer bottle and drank it all.
It looks like she won’t listen to advice.
Joe Wright closed his five fingers and made up his mind to deal with Alex Brown himself. anyone who could do Emma any harm, he would not let go.
Joe Wright is determined to deal with Alex Brown, so he does not try to persuade Emma Rosy, and after advising her not to drink too much, he leaves as quietly as he came.
He was thinking about where to start when he passed the corner of the corridor and was abruptly surprised by the figure standing there.
The ruthless look in his eyes had not yet faded, and he bellowed, “Who?
“It’s me, uncle.”
Hope walked slowly out of the shadows with her hands clutching her glass of water, her expression a little stiff, as if startled by Joe Wright’s appearance.
“Why are you here? Just… freaked out, didn’t you?” Joe Wright turned his head and hurriedly changed into a cordial smile, before waiting to explain, but was interrupted by Hope.
Hope walked to the window and looked at Emma Rosy, she bit her lower lip and whispered, “I’m not scared. If it were me, I would have done what my uncle did to protect my mother.”
