Although I am a bit puzzled, I meet her according to her request.
As far as I know, Mrs. Jessie has her own son before, but after his accidental death, the family inherited family business to James, a wandering child overseas, and forces James to separate from Isabel.
Mrs. Jessie has always disagreed with James’ identity. That is to say, James and Mrs. Jessie are incompatible. For so many years, James has been a cynical look and makes many people worry about him.
James pretends to be fooling around. Only in this way can he be absolutely safe. I know all this.
But why does Mrs. Jessie want to see me?
Mrs. Jessie and Isabel are very different in temperament. Mrs. Jessie is solemn and Isabel is more charming.
“I know you very surprised when I want to see you. In fact, I have heard from you for a long time. After all, the previous events have caused much gossip. My husband also says that it is fun, and it doesn’t matter. He doesn’t care.” Mrs. Jessie is very well maintained, and her gestures revealed a touch of grace, but every sentence is full of meanings
I look at the teacup in front of me and ponder what she is going to do.
“But I don’t think so. I think it is very difficult for young people to have their own love.” Mrs. Jessie smiles friendly to me.
I am stunned.
“You can be with James, I will help you.” Then she smiles at me mysteriously.
“But you know, some things are very unfair. For example, my son died, why can someone else’s son inherit everything from him? Well, it would have been my son’s things.” Gradually her face has a layer of haze on it.
When she says here, I suddenly understand that she wants to be my alliance. She could help me and James together, or even enter the family, but she would not allow James to inherit everything.
I can only be her pawn.
“I understand what you mean.” I smile disdainfully, “Do you think I am the kind of person who can sacrifice anything to enter your family?”
Mrs. Jessie looks at me with a sneer, “Isn’t it? As far as I know, your family is suffering a lot of debts, as long as you promise me, I will help you.”
“I’m sorry.” I interrupt her immediately and looks at her incomprehensible, “James and I love each other. Do you think I will betray him? I like James, not his money. As long as it is his decision, I will always support him, so I will never promise you.”
“Is it?” Mrs. Jessie no longer acts in front of me, she smiles sharply, “I underestimate you. Love is really ridiculous!”
“I know what you have done for my family. Otherwise, my store will not suddenly be empty.” I look at her eyes in a humble manner.
“One disaster after another is always driving people crazy,” she says.
By now I understand her intention. She puts pressure on me and wants to cozy up to me.
There is nothing to talk about at this point, “If there is nothing else, I will go first.” I get up and leave.
“I have to say that, you are helping me as long as you and James are together. Thank you.” Mrs. Jessie says.
How couldn’t I know that I’m a burden for James?
I understand all of this, but love is to make people obsessed and confused.
James, are you coming back? I miss you.
After leaving Mrs. Jessie, I wander in the streets, not knowing where to go or what to do.
Parents, I can’t give up, nor can I give up James, but I can’t do anything about it.
In the end, I come to James’s house unconsciously, where we have the best memories we have ever had.
I hide in the corner and secretly look at the corner of the house.
Suddenly, a huge vehicle drives by in the distance.
I immediately squat down like a thief.
It is James, and he is back.
I hide in the grass and cover my mouth to suppress my scream.
James, James! He really comes back.
It’s the one I miss.
He walks out of the car, still with a sick look on his face, and his spirits are a little weak.
But his eyes are bright and his steps are strong.
Suddenly, his eyes begin to roll around, and I quickly lower my body
I am so scared to see James, and I don’t know what to say when I see James.
In his eyes, I am a liar.
I look at him with nostalgia and look at his haggard face, I am so heartache that I could not breathe.
James enters the villa, the door closes and I could no longer see him. I can only stand on the spot.
Why do we have such an ending?
But the tightly closes door opens again, and I run away unconsciously.
Behind is the hurried footsteps.
But I can’t look back, I have no face to see James.
The pace behind becomes more and more urgent, “Carolina!”
There are anger and resentment in this shout, and it is more of a miss.
It seems that my feet are moving with lead. Reason tells me that I should leave here quickly, and don’t bother James, but I just can’t move.
I really can’t ignore James.
“Why don’t you dare look back at me?”
The dazzling sunlight above my head makes me feel dizzy. I open my mouth and still couldn’t say anything.
“I’ve been waiting for you, waiting for you to come back and see me. Have you forgotten our previous agreement?”
Every sentence of James is a complaint against me. I am so scared to see him look disappointed.
With gentle steps, James slowly approaches me takes my shoulders, and hugs me from behind me.
“Look back and look at me, I say I will always be there, as long as you can look back at me.” James gently leans his chin against my shoulder.
I can’t say anything, only hearing the heartbeat.
“James, sorry.” I turn around and hug him hard.
James says nothing, only hugs me closer.
I have planned to take a look at him and leave, but I don’t expect to meet James here. What I don’t expect is that James actually finds me.
“Do you know, in fact, I have seen you in the flowers, and I told myself that I will never forgive you this time, and definitely not! But when I walk into this house, watching you look sad in panic, my heart is painful again. I can’t do it.” James holds me in his arms, as if afraid that I would disappear again.
“You obviously have the opportunity to tell me the news that you are leaving, right? How can you be so cruel?” James grits his teeth and a large drop of tears fall down on my shoulder.
I’m just afraid that it’s difficult for you to do. On one side is me, on the other side is your own biological mother.
I wipe his tears clean and say, “Sorry, I don’t expect you to cry.”
“I’m wrong, I’m really wrong. Sorry. Sorry.” I rub his chest, coquettish at him.
James sighs and sniffs his nose, “It’s really impossible for you.”
It seems that all the problems between us are gone at once, chatting, making love, and doing anything together that couples do together.
But what is happening at home is the worry that is pressing on my heart.
James sees me frowning, he rubs my forehead and says, “I say I am here.”
I know, but not everything needs to be solved by you. Some things are about human dignity.
There are still things in the family. I can’t stay with James and leave reluctantly.
But we can really be together. I look at James’s eyes and look at my expression again, dreaming again.
I stand downstairs in my house and take a deep breath. Now I have to be prepared enough to go home because I don’t know what else is waiting for me.
“Carolina is just ignorant, we know that. I will definitely control her and let her live a good life with you.”
It’s my mother’s voice. Neil must be here.
I push open the door hard and look at the people in the room with anger.
Mom, Dad, and Neil.
“I say, I won’t go back with Neil again, don’t you understand?” I shout loudly.
The door is open, and I believe many neighbors can hear it. I just want them to hear it, and I don’t want to hide it, creating a harmonious family atmosphere of motherhood and filial piety.
My mother is always accusing me. She comes over a few steps and closes the door with a bang, “Your father has returned to work, and the store’s affairs have been resolved. This is all because of Neil.”
I don’t speak and look at them coldly.
“Your brother and sister are still young, and they still have to go to school and get married. We need money. How can there be so much money at home? Neil says, he doesn’t care about everything, as long as you go home with him.” My mother persuades me quietly, peeking at Neil, pinching my hand.
This kind of scene I have seen countless times, and every time is my compromise, but this time I will not repeat the same mistakes before.
“Your own responsibilities are not taken on your own. Why do you have to count on others? I’m not a tool for you to make money, don’t use me.” This sentence is very ruthless. Why should I have to sacrifice myself to complete this family?
It’s such a tough day, and I don’t want to live this life anymore.
“OK, Carolina, you live with your parents for a while, and it won’t be too late when you want to think it over, and I’ll wait for you.” Neil stands up from the sofa, and faces Mom, “Mom, don’t force Carolina so much, I think she will figure out who will be the most suitable for her.”
What does he want to do? Acting again.
“Fine, wait for me to persuade Carolina, she will think about it clearly.” Mom says flatly and says to Neil with a smile, “I have cooked many dishes. You eat some.”
Neil shoves his glasses and says, “I won’t eat anymore. I have something to do now.”
Mom politely sends Neil away, I don’t want to look at him again.
If I want to be with James again, then I have to divorce him.
I start planning to divorce Neil. If he doesn’t agree, I will sue him, looking for all evidence that is in my favor.
Such as domestic violence.
So I have to bear to go back and provoke him deliberately, preferably he beats me to death.
