"Mom --!" Lucia saw Kevin who was kneeling down and apologizing for his mistake while her mother was sitting on the sofa.
Helena cried with red and swollen eyes. She raised her head to see her daughter's distressed tears falling down again: "Lucia ..."
Lucia sat beside her mother quickly, her eyes blushed when she saw her sad look. Knowing that her mother was worried about herself, she forced a smile to comfort her mother: "Mom, I'm fine! why you still cry ?"
Helena suppressed the sorrow in her heart, raised her hand and touched her daughter's head. Then she looked at Herbert Howard with a face of shame beside her and said, "Herbert, take Kevin home first !"
"Sister-in-law ..." Facing his former friend's wife, Herbert Howard really didn't know what to say.
The promise once like a mountain is completely overturned today!
Thinking of the entrustment of his good brother before he died, he was really ashamed.
Helena sighed heavily, looking at Herbert Howard and said, "No one can make decisions about love! Now that Kevin has someone he likes! That's it ... You go first ..." After all, the relationship between the two was there, and she didn't want to say something bad.
"Sister-in-law ..." Herbert Howard looked at her with emotion and mixed feelings in his heart.
Helena looked at Herbert Howard and who was still looking at her. She was silent for a moment and spoke slowly: "Herbert, The Twisted Melon is not sweet, let alone that girl is pregnant ... Go back ..."
"Sister-in-law, and about William and Lucia ..." Herbert Howard spoke hard.
The words of Herbert Howard made Helena look at William who was sitting in the wheelchair not far away. Thinking of the fact that Herbert Howard just told his daughter to register for marriage with him, her heart was torn into pain again! She lowered her eyelids and raised her hand weakly: "please go! You all go! I don't want to see anyone now !"
William, who had been silent all the time, moved a few steps forward and looked at his father and said, "Dad, go back with Kevin! I will handle it here !"
Herbert Howard looked at Helena's expression, knowing that she didn't want to see himself and his son now, so he bent down to Helena with shame and glared at the youngest son on the ground with hatred: "You beast! Come home with me !"
Kevin understood that what he said now was no help, so he stood up from the ground, wanting to say something but feeling ashamed, so he had to leave Brown's house silently with his father ...
The moment the door was closed, the living room became quiet instantly, and the atmosphere was a little depressed ...
Helena rubbed her forehead and kept silent for a moment. Then she looked at William angrily: "I remember that you are a Colonel. Since you can be promoted to this position, you have at least a certain degree of propriety in doing things! Lucia just broke up with Kevin and married you. Even if she was stimulated on impulse, as a soldier, how could you take advantage of the opportunity to enter at this time ?"
"Aunt, I want to talk with you alone, OK ?" William didn't have any strange expression when he heard Helena's words, but looked at her asking in a low voice.
Helena was right in her mind when she heard what he said. Some words were not easy to say in front of her daughter, so she looked at her and said, "Lucia, you go out for a while !"
William had already given her a shot of preventive injection, but Lucia didn't refuse her mother's words. She walked out of the living room silently and closed the door of the living room casually.
"Well! Can you give me a reasonable explanation now ?" Seeing her daughter leaving, Helena was still very angry looking at William in the wheelchair.
"Aunt, I want to tell you about my mother first ..."
Lucia went out with her mobile phone and didn't go far. She just walked to the rest platform between the fourth floor and the third floor, standing by the window and watching the scenery outside the window anxiously. She had met William for a few times. Although she had an impression, that man was too indifferent. Even if she met, she just saw him. In her vague memory, he seemed to be an indispensable person in that family.
From the moment he took himself away from Kevin's office till now, although they only spent a few hours together, Lucia had already deeply felt his cold. She couldn't imagine that such a person would say when she was alone with her mother? Will he speak sarcastically like the Howard family?
The time slided, and Lucia suffered from this kind of waiting. She looked at the door from time to time, waiting uneasily ...
After about half an hour, Lucia's phone finally rang. She picked it up quickly and ran up the stairs immediately when she saw the number of William. She took out the key and opened the door quickly and walked in!
Looking at the mother's face on the sofa, she recovered a little calmness, and there was no strange expression on William's face. She couldn't figure out the result of the conversation between them. Lucia walked over uneasily and looked at her mother and screamed lightly: "Mom ..."
"Lucia, take William back first! We will go into details about your affairs when you come back !" Helena watched her daughter raise her hand slightly and motioned her to send William out first.
She knew that even if she asked, it was not convenient for her mother to say anything with William here. Lucia nodded to her mother and pushed William away from home. Paine had been waiting at the door for a long time. When they came out, Paine went downstairs with William on his back, while Lucia helped to hold the wheelchair.
Looking at William sitting in the car, Lucia stood beside the car and asked him anxiously, "What did you say to my mother just now ?"
William looked at her lightly, still with that indifferent attitude: "Aunt will tell you! Paine, drive !"
Paine immediately started the car, rolled down the window and looked at Lucia outside the window, saying respectfully, "sister-in-law, we go now !" Then he stepped on the accelerator and drove the car away.
The sister-in-law gave Lucia a daze! But on second thought, yes! No matter what happened today or what her life with William would be like in the future. At least now, she is already a married woman! Looking up, she looked upstairs uneasily. she don't know what the man said to her mother just now?
Glancing at the disappearing direction of William's car, Lucia quickly went upstairs and went home. When she opened the door, she did not seen her mother in the living room. She changed her shoes and walked towards her mother's room. Pushing open the door, she saw her mother weeping silently with her father's photo. She walked to her mother and sat down nervously immediately.
"Mom ... Sorry ..." Looking at her father's photo, her heart was mixed.
Helena gently stroked her husband's photo. Hearing her daughter's words, she raised her hand and wiped her tears, looking at her daughter's strange smile: "Silly child, it's not your fault! What did you apologize to mom ?"
"... William and I ..." Lucia lowered her head guiltily while talking, and began to regret that she shouldn't have been so impulsive at that time.
Helena didn't answer her daughter's words. She just focused on her husband's photo again ...
Seeing that mother didn't answer herself, Lucia felt even more sad: "Mom, I was wrong! Even if Kevin offered to break up with me, I couldn't register for marriage with his eldest brother in a fit of pique. Mom, you give me a few days, I will definitely persuade him to divorce me ..."
Helena shook her head after hearing her daughter's words: "No! Now that you have registered, that is also a kind of fate, marry William !"
Mother's words surprised Lucia a little: "Mom, what did you say? Do you mean that you agree with my marriage with William ?"
During the nearly thirty minutes waiting outside, she always thought that what met her must be the result of a storm. Even if not, she would not agree so easily as her mother now!
Helena didn't raise her head, still staring at her husband's photo and nodded lightly: "Well, now that you have registered, then get married! Besides, how could he be the child of Howard family? When your father was alive, he hoped that you could marry Howard family. I think William was not bad, although he looked a little cold, but more reliable than Kevin ..."
"Mom ..." Lucia listened to her mother and didn't know what to say.
Helena sighed slightly, put her husband's photo in place, and looked at her daughter's eyes with a little foggy fog: "Lucia, mom thought you would get married in a few years, but I didn't expect that so soon, you are going to get married ..."
"Mom, if you don't agree, I will go to William to persuade him to divorce me !" Lucia looked at her mother's expression, feeling distressed and regretful. Originally she wanted to lie to her mother and lie to her that she liked William from the very beginning. Now that her mother knows everything, she has no reason to insist on getting married.
"No! Although I didn't get along with William for a long time, I could see from the conversation just now that he was a man of his own mind ... It's just that his legs are not very good. You should take good care of him after you get married ... Although he is not Kevin, he is also the child of Howard's family ... In this way, your father can also dismiss ..." Thinking of her husband's efforts in those years and her daughter's marriage was a man whose legs were paralyzed, Helena's tears could never stop falling down.
"Mom, I'm sorry! It's all my fault! Don't cry! As long as you agree, no matter who he is, I will marry him! Mom !" As soon as mother's tears fell, Lucia's heart panicked instantly. What she feared most these years was that her mother thought of her father's tears.
Helena held back her grief, took the tissue from her daughter and wiped her tears. She looked at her with a little expression on her face: "Lucia, mom has discussed with William. The wedding was scheduled three days later, I thought the time was a little tight, so I let him postpone for a week. Make good preparations for this week, and communicate with William if you have anything need! He is also not easy ... Alas ... Mom wants to be alone, you go out first ..."
"Mom, if you really don't agree ..." Lucia was still a little worried when she saw her mother's face.
"No! Mom feels sad just because I think of your father. William is not bad ... Mom wants to sleep, if you have something to do, go to work first ..." Helena waved to her daughter again, then lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.
Lucia took the blanket and covered it for her mother, then she walked out of the room.
She walked around in the living room, recalling that the time mother talked with William just now was only half an hour, but mother agreed to his request so easily. Why on earth? Did William say something bad to his mother? That's not right either. In that case, it would be even more impossible for my mother to promise this marriage! Then what on earth did he say that let her mother agree to nod in half an hour?
Lucia thought for a quarter of an hour, but she couldn't figure out what kind of method the Colonel used even if she wanted to break her head!
No!
She must figure out what William said to her mother! She took the bag out of the room and went to mother's bedroom to have a look. She found that mother seemed to be asleep, so she closed the door and left home.
