Chapter 218
The Remorseful Brothers
Chapter 218 by noon, it actually started to snow Frank and Helena hadnât finished gathering their radishes from the field Whenever it snowed. Frankâs legs would start aching, so Helena took him in the village doctor for some medicar Madeline was carrying a basket, and Bobby followed her, also carrying onr The two of them went to the field together.
Along the way. Bobby walked steadily, occasionally glancing at Madeline with a radiant smile.
Madeline turned to look at him. He still had that elegant and sophisticated look.
Even with a bomboo basket on his back, his image remained unchanged cewa He stood out like a perfect gem. His presence was unmatched.
Madeline couldnât help but mumble, âWhy do you keep smiling at me like that?
âIs there something on my face! Are you teasing me!â
âNo,â Bobby said with a gentle smile, his eyes clear. I was just marveling at how much youâve grown up âMarveling!â Madeline shook her basket and asked, âIs my growing up really so surprising!
âDid you think Iâd never grow up?â
âNot exactly,â Bobby replied, touching her forehead. âYou were quite the tomboy when you were little, a bit stubborn and sometimes unreasonable âWho wouldâve thought youâd turn out so beautiful and charming!
âLike someone straight out of an ancient poem...
âWait, stopâ Madeline playfully hit his arm and then jogged away along the path through the fields, her ears burning with hear She wondered if she might get frostbite again.
Madeline covered her ears, Not hearing any footsteps behind her, she paused to wait for Bobby âHurry up, Bobby, shouted Madeline.
Bobby smiled fondly and quickened his pace, holding the wicker basket Madeline watched him as he approached.
The breeze was gentle and the water was vast. Snowflakes drifted and sparkled in the air.
Snowflakes settled in his hair as he walked toward her. Even though there was an umbrella in the basket, he didnât bother to use it He was like the boy next door, but the best kind.
âBobby, arenât you going to use the umbrellaâ Your hairâs full of snowflakes,â said Madeline âLetâs watch the snow together, Bobby said when he reached her, leaning down with a genuine smile. âIsnât that kind of romantic?â âWhart Madeline blinked, confused.
Hobby pinched her cold cheeks, âIf we face the snow together now, itâs like weâll be together forever.
Madelineâs cheeks suddenly felt warın, She wasnât sure if it was the warmth of his hand or if she was blushing from his words.
*Bobby, we just met, and youâre already being so finy 1. ny. Thatâs too much,â Madeline huffed, turned around, and walked away She thought, Oh iny. Thereâs no way all my twelve brothers are exactly the same, right?
Are they all interested in met Chapter 218 It seems like they havent interacted with other women unce they grew up. They all think I am the best woman at Machine said. âHobby, if you check out other girls, youâll find there are plenty like the around.
âYouâll realize that Iâm not that special to you, âForget about growing old together.
You donât even wanting go out for a meal with me âThat wonât happen,â Bobby said softly, looking at her. âMadeline, you are the most unique person âThere will always be someone better than me, Madeline replied Bobby said without hesitation, âOf course, better people will meet better people. Whatâs that got to do with meâ.
Madelme shrugged her shoulders, covered her face with her scarf, and walked off by herself.
Eventually, she would make her brothers understand that the relationship between them wasnât romantic love.
She was sure of i Eugene sat beneath the eaves of the small courtyard, holding a bowl filled with dried corn kernels.
In front of him, a number of chickens and ducks gathered around The chickens circled Eugene stared blankly at the thin layer of snow in the e yard and casually tossed a handful of corn onto the ground.
The chickens immediately rushed over to cat iL When Helena and Frank came back, this was the scene they saw.
Helena felt unsure. Although Eugene was more attractive than most women, he definitely lacked Hobbyâs practical life experience.
For example, Bobby knew to keep the chickens inside when it snowed so they wouldnât be freezing outside or eating corn.
Frank wasnât too bothered. City folks like Eugene were different from rural people. Each had their own strengths. It was not fair to make direct comparisons, He believed that the man Madeline liked was the best âEugene, why are you sitting out here in the cold? Why donât you come inside to warm up? Look at you. Your hands are turning white from the cold, Frank said, concerned.
Thank y you for caring, Mr. Lewis. Eugene lifted his gaze and smiled at Frank. Iâm waiting.
âWaiting for whatâ Frank asked, curious âWaiting for Madeline to come back.â Eugene replied.
Frank, not knowing Madeline had gone out, said, âWell, go inside and wait Donât catch a coldâ
Seeing Eugeneâs lovestruck expression, Helena was puzzled. âYou and Madeline are you two.
âMadeline and I promised each other that weâd be together ever since we were at the orphanage, long ago, Eugene explained.
Tve waited for her f many years, and only this year I finally saw her again,â he added with a sigh âSadly, even though I turned down all the women for her, I Eugene laughed bitterly, shaking his head. âShe might not feel sheâs I never expected Madelpie to be so popular, he lamented.
s responsible for me anymore.
Eugene sighed as he spoke, tossing e another handful of corn.
The chickens and ducks were joyfully hopping around in the warmth Helena was somewhat puzzled.
Eugenie sud, âTo me, a nun should be with just on aluar forever. Itâs really no lijg deal one weananfer his whole fe If Madeline i be responsible for me, I âIn my heart. For always considered Madeline to be my wife, and Iâve thought of myself 1104 AM D Chapter 218 Eugeneâs face, usually radiant and cold, carried an endless sorrow. I think she might like Bobby more its not her fault for straying. She just made a mistake anyone could make. I donât blame her. I just blame my own bad luck â
Helena never imagined there could be such a devoted man in this world, and she couldnât help but feel drawn to Eugene After all. Madeline had already toyed with his feelings and she had to be responsible for it.
How did you find out she likes Hobby more?â asked Helena.
âThis time she went to pick radishes and didnât take me. She must have wanted to be alone with Bobby Frank was confused. âShe just went to pick radishes without you?â
Eugene pressed his lips together, his eyes showing sadness. She used to always take me.
âDonât think picking radishes is a small thing. Itâs actually quite significant Frank and Helena were truly p puzzled.
They wondered. Why is this such a big deal?
Eugene gritted his teeth, thinking. If I can pick radishes this time, maybe next time I can do something else.
