Candice knew that Robert has changed, his body was fitter, every move he made was filled with masculine power, even compared with Emerson.
But now she had no longer thought about the relationship between men and women, she only thought that, it would be good if Robert could take good care of Edward.
“I’m so tired, I think I would need good sleep.” Candice closed her eyes dizzily, with the exhaustion and travel of the recent days, she really need a good night of sleep.
Robert watched as Candice slept, and he could not help but lowered his head to place his lips onto hers, and moved a little. He was very careful, as he did not want to wake Candice up.
Robert had met Peter by chance in university, and his life was changed from then. When he married Candice, it was due to her sweetness, obedience, simplicity and could hide his sexual orientation, and was easy to con. But ever since he asked his brother to sleep with her everything became different, and was silently changing.
He had been grateful and envious of his brother. He thought that this emotion was just temporary, and if he had been together with Peter more, this feeling would disappear. Until Candice bore a child of his brother’s, he suddenly realised that, he had wanted badly to be a father. He always could not help but thought, how good it would be if the child was his.
As he watched Candice’s stomach growing bigger and bigger every day, he had always used excuses to touch the child and hear the child to get closer to Candice. He then realised that he was not resilient to touching her, and had even the urge to get closer to her. Robert knew that he had fallen for his wife, so he broke it off adamantly with Peter. However, he had not thought that, Peter would have hated him for it, and announced everything in front of the media, ruining him. And he had not thought that Candice’s parents would have died because of this.
Robert had watched Candice being devastated. So he decided to avenge Candice, even if his life was on the lines.
Peter was dead, and Candice had left without a word. His brother had watched the surveillance tapes, that night an illegal cab had fetched Candice to the long distance bus station. She had got onto a van at the station and left hurriedly.
Emerson had used all means to find that illegal cab, and asked which car had Candice gotten on, the driver had told him it was a car to Sichuan. After, the news came out, the van to Sichuan had fallen off the cliff due to the driver being exhausted, both the van and its passengers did not survive. No passenger on the van had made it, and a lot of bodies were unrecoverable.
So Emerson had thought that Candice and the child was dead, and Emerson had not kept it from Robert, he went to the prison to tell him everything. Now that Robert thought about it, it had been very dark that night, the illegal cab driver must have seen wrongly. He had saw Sichuan of the west south, instead of Yinchuan in the direction of west north.
One would never know the feeling of having something again without losing it first. Robert swore that he would love Candice for the rest of his life, treat Edward as his own, and have his own child with Candice, the family living together happily ever after.
Robert closed the door gently and got downstairs, Emerson already left the dining table, and was holding Edward sitting at the piano in the living room, and was teaching Edward how to play the piano.
Emerson saw that Robert has come downstairs, and his tightened expression loosened up.
“Robert, you should have rested well after you came back, but Edward’s identity needs to be changed, and he has to look for a kindergarten, you should do all these.”
Robert nodded, “Brother, I will get these done as soon as possible. It’s just that… you’re getting married soon, it is inappropriate for Candice, Edward and I to live here. I will find a house as soon as possible and move out.”
Emerson’s hand slid from the keys of the piano and landed on his thighs, the veins on the back of his hand popped, “You want to look for houses outside?”
