The father Ella is talking about is Morley, and I told Ella that he would be her godfather.
Even I know James would misunderstand it, I am not going to explain.
James stands up and grins coldly, “I have a poor memory.”
I think he means that he provokes the woman who cannot be provoked.
“We have to go. Ella has to go to kindergarten.” I say, holding Ella’s hand.
I really don’t want Ella to have anything to do with James. Even though Ella is his daughter, I hope he never knows.
“Miss Carl.” James stops me and opens the door, “Please come in.”
“What are you doing?” I don’t step forward but look at him with some caution.
Ella looks at him curiously, “You are the handsomest uncle I have ever seen.”
James smiles and says, “Who’s more handsome compared with your father?”
Is he asking for trouble? Or is he just trying to make himself uncomfortable?
“I know your husband has passed away.” James says, “It is reasonable for me to pursue you.”
“Really?” I look at him mockingly, “Then have you never done anything unreasonable?”
James’ eyes gradually become cold, and my words must have made him think something else.
It I unreasonable for him to meet Carolina.
“Get in the car.” James pulls me into the car, which is more domineering than before.
I don’t know where he is going to take me to, so I can only sit carefully.
“Aren’t we going to kindergarten today? It’s great!” Ella applauds happily.
“We go to the playground today.” James smiles kindly to Ella.
I say in a hurry, “Do you know what you are doing, Mr. James! I’m not a substitute for the woman you used to love! I still have a lot of things to do. Please stop it.”
I am afraid Ella would have contact with him, and even more afraid that he would find out that Ella is his child.
“Mom, let the handsome uncle accompany us to play.” Ella takes my clothes and begs me pitifully, “No one here knows me. I don’t want to go to the kindergarten at all. Let’s play for one day!”
I have no choice when faced with Ella’s coquetry, and James becomes even prouder.
By the time we get to the playground, I can’t go back.
The Recreation City is Orlando’s property, so we have the privilege to go through the special channel. Ella jumps up and down happily.
“Uncle, I really like you. If you really are my father, it would be nice.”
“Okay.” James picks up Ella and puts her on his head.
Behind them, I suddenly feel an illusion.
Such a scene is a dream for me, as if we are a family and we have never been separated.
Ella is laughing, James is like a father, petting her and caring for her.
However, I can’t make this happen, and I can’t let James know Ella’s true identity.
I spend the whole morning in a trance. I don’t know if I’m doing it right. It’s unfair to Ella, but for the future, I can only do this.
Do not blame me.
I look at them painfully and secretly wipe tears.
“What’s the matter, mom?” Ella, who is still smiling, runs over immediately, “Is it because Ella didn’t go to kindergarten today that mom is upset?” Her smiling face crumples and she looks at me anxiously.
I stroke her head and say, “Mom is fine, go to play.”
James stands in the distance, I look at his figure and mutter, “How nice it would be if all this is true.”
He stands there in the crowd, as if I have never seen him before.
Ella runs to him again, cheering, and James doesn’t have the slightest impatience and picks her up, like many fathers do.
When I return, Ella falls asleep with exhaustion and collapses in my arms. James and I are speechless.
The car parks downstairs, I put Ella on the seat and open the door.
Unexpectedly, James gets out of the car first and opens the door.
But he is stuck in front of the car door and looks at me with a smile.
I am panicked and say, “Would you mind stepping aside? I’m going.”
James lowers himself, holding the door with one hand, “Carl, why did you cry?”
His eyes stare at me, as if he has seen through everything.
It turns out that he also found out, so I have to lie.
“I just thought of the child’s father.” I say.
“Keep your work clean, Carl, and don’t let me catch you, or you’re done.” James snorts and runs his finger down my cheek. “You’re good at doing this sort of thing, aren’t you?”
“What are you doing? Please behave yourself!” I clap his hand away, “What the hell are you talking about? I don’t know! I don’t know what happened to the woman who was very similar to me, but I am sure that I’m not her. Don’t you think of me as her.” I say in disgust.
“But I just think of you as her, what can you do?” James kisses me directly.
“Umm…” My eyes widen in surprise, but I couldn’t push him anyway.
James holds my head domineeringly; his tongue has already stuck into my mouth.
It’s very familiar, and it makes me forget the time.
It’s like a long, long time ago when he and I were still in love with each other and I was willing to fall into with you and do anything for you.
James’ kiss has turned me on my head.
It isn’t until a long time later that James let go of me.
There is a clear look in his eyes, as if he knows everything.
“Carl, I am looking forward to our future.” He cracks a smile, very happy and very proud.
I blush and turn away, “There is no future.”
“You can’t refuse me.” James stands up and looks down at me. “You know it.”
I hug Ella and flee in a hurry.
I know that every time I go against James, I will always be at a disadvantage. I will never win.
When I get home, I put Ella in the bedroom and walk to the desk.
Something new comes in the mailbox.
It’s about Isabel.
Although the photos are taken secretly, they are still very clear.
She is wearing glasses, very low-key, dating a man, and is intimate with the man.
Although Isabel is not the hostess of the Orlando family, many people know what position is she in the heart of President Orlando. Otherwise, they will not let Isabel return even under the pressure of the family, and will not let the illegitimate child inherit all of the family business.
Isabel’s lover is called Porter, who has existed for so many years, and they had a relationship before Isabel met Mr. Orlando. Why did Isabel meet Mr. Orlando and who did Isabel love? It’s funny.
Unexpectedly, she still has so many secrets.
The point is that Mrs. Orlando has passed away. Isabel will soon be the hostess of the family. This is the last thing I want to see.
It seems that Mrs. Orlando is also a useless and cowardly person. Otherwise, how could she be cornered by Isabel abroad for so many years, and now she died of depression. I can’t let Isabel live so comfortably.
Isabel, I won’t make you smile so happy again.
And Neil.
I will let you suffer what I have suffered.
But what I didn’t expect is that when I sent someone to investigate Neil, I found that he was already bankrupt and went to prison because of tax evasion.
Well, it saves my troubles.
“They will meet at Golden Building at ten o’clock tomorrow.”
This is the latest news.
With a sneer,, I notice that the opportunity finally comes.
There are some things that you have to do it yourself to be happy.
I have been waiting for this day for a long time.
When I go out, I dressed up specially, which is completely unlike myself. I am very satisfied.
“Go to Golden Building.” I say.
This time I must win.
Isabel has already booked a booth, and I simply sit next to her, turn on the invisible camera, put it in my bag, and face them.
Isabel arrives before ten o’clock.
Five years later, she is still so charming. The big sunglasses cover half of her face, but I recognize her at a glance.
The booth is in a covert corner. If I do not specially find a good seat, I might shoot nothing useful.
Isabel’s lover was a street gangster before, and has done a lot for Isabel over the years.
When Isabel arrives, Porter couldn’t help hugging her. Isabel pushes him away and looks around carefully.
“What are you doing?” Isabel says impatiently.
Porter looks like a rogue, “You are my woman, but how come you are going to be Mrs. Orlando? This is annoying me.”
“How could it be?” Isabel smiles unwillingly, and says perfunctorily, “We’ve been together for so many years. Do you think I will leave you?”
“Come off it. You know what I’ve done for you all these years! You want to kick me out now when you are successful? Don’t think of it!” Porter spats angrily. “I know too well of you”
She will fall out with him. If Isabel wants to be a noble woman and gets rid of the past, then Porter will have to get completely out of her life. Not only does he constantly remind her how dirty her past is, but Porter is a ticking time bomb for her, and can destroy her at any time.
Isabel smiles, “Porter, what are you talking about? If not because of you, how could I have today’s accomplishment? Don’t worry. I will not treat you badly.”
“You clearly know that what I want is not money, I only want you!” Porter grabs Isabel’s hand and says eagerly, “Your son has already got all the property of the Orlando family. Come with me! I never want you back to that man again! Shall we be together?”
Isabel quietly withdraws her hands, sorts her hair, and says, “Porter, how could you be so narrow-minded?”
“What I want is the entire Orlando family!” Isabel says viciously like a poisonous snake.
I listen and laugh involuntarily in my heart.
