Chapter 387
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
âI know you want to be with Robert right now and wonât be living in our mansion now. I just wanted to ask â youâve already gotten the marriage certificate with Robert, but the first wedding failed. Shouldnât you hold another one?
âAlso, I noticed you were a bit depressed today. I heard from Ivan. Donât be afraid. No matter what the results are, everyoneâs with you. If youâre really afraid, how about I call my sister over? Youâve known each other for over twenty years, after all. Sometimes I feel like when sheâs here, youâve got some proper emotional support.â
So Elsie had noticed all that. Georgia smiled helplessly.
âMaybe Iâm overthinking it, or worrying too much. Maybe Iâll relax when the results come out tomorrow, or maybe...â
Georgia didnât finish. She didnât dare say that she might fall into even greater worry.
Elsie sighed and sat down in the car.
All along the way, Elsie thought about her own sister and Georgia, and sighed incessantly.
Wilson couldnât help but speak up.
âWhatâs happened? Youâve been sighing all the while.â
âDo you think romance is a happy thing?â
Elsie asked Wilson such a question, and the man replied with a cold face.
âI think youâre asking me a neurotic question that I canât answer.â
âWhy canât you answer?â
âA person whoâs never experienced romance cannot answer that question for you.â
For some reason, even though Wilson had replied seriously, Elsie felt like he was joking.
She laughed for a while, then saw Wilsonâs frown deepen, and spoke.
âYou saw what happened recently with Georgia. If she hadnât fallen for Robert, wouldnât she have saved herself so much pain and grief? Being free to come and go on your own and only being concerned with oneself, never worrying about your lover, or your children â isnât that a happier life?â
Wilson scoffed at her exclaiming tone.
âDo you really think youâre alone? Youâve got a sister and youâve got a friend in Georgia. You pamper Annie as a child. If anything happened to them, could you go happily about your day, go on holiday, or go watch TV without feeling a thing? If people in this world really were alone, youâd only be calling for a driver to take you home right now, instead of having me here... if you really want to be alone, I suggest you go to a place where nobody knows who you are, make your own meals, and make money through your own work without talking to anyone. Thatâs what it means to be alone.â
âI was just talking about it, why are you snapping back at me like that? If you keep talking like such a straight guy, Wilson, youâll never find a wife.â
Elsie was a bit upset. She felt like Wilson never heard the point of her words. There was simply too great of a gap between their thoughts.
No matter how it went, they werenât suited for each other. Even though that was just how she was thinking herself.
âYouâre getting more and more emotional lately.â
Wilson didnât seem to get angry over Elsie saying heâd never find a wife, but said that instead all of a sudden.
âWhat would happen with Georgia if there really was a problem with Robertâs body?â
Elsie finally got to the point. That was Georgiaâs worry, and her worry too.
She wasnât particularly friends with Robert, but relationships were a web. Georgia was her good friend, and if something happened to Robert, Georgia would be unhappy.
Naturally, she felt like it was best for Robert to be fine.
âBack then, when my mother committed suicide, Iâd been hateful. I hated the world, hated my father, hated the cold and uncaring people around me.
But most of all, I hated myself.â
After a brief silence, Wilson suddenly spoke.
Elsie was taken aback. She hadnât thought that Wilson would suddenly talk about his past.
She held her tongue and didnât speak, in case she upset Wilson or made him angry, but Wilson continued to speak.
âWhen someone really dies before you, the biggest blow isnât the agony and hate you feel in the beginning. Itâs how, over the passage of time, you realize that you could have spend more time with them when they were alive. I could have been by her side more back then. I could have tried to cheer her up with jokes when she was lonely. I could have tried to do more to bring her joy. She died alone, in despair. Thatâs when the regret comes.
Youâll start asking yourself why you hadnât worked harder to make them happier.
âSo donât be so concerned with Georgia and Robert. The two have been through so much. Even if something did happen with his body, if the two cherished the days they had left, they wouldnât have any regrets in this life. Itâs the most painful to have someone suddenly leave before you, only coming to regret not doing too many things in the end.â
Wilson finished, and Elsie didnât say anything else.
They got back home and got off the car. Elsie walked Wilson go quietly to his bedroom and sleep, while she sat dully on her bed for a whole night.
She kept pondering Wilsonâs words. If someone really died before her. If she would regret not saying the things she hadnât said back then.
While Elsie was struggling, Georgia had finished dinner.
She, Robert and Ivan stayed with Annie inside the games room and played. With three adults and one child, it got a little crazy.
Annie laughed all through the night.
She was so glad. Her Daddy and Mommy were by her side now, and Uncle Ivan too. Annie felt like the luckiest person in the world.
When it came time to bed down at night, Georgia showered, came out, and hugged Robert, giving him gentle kisses and clinging to him as if for dear life as the loving began.
They finally settled down. Robert brushed back Georgiaâs sweat-dappled hair, his voice gentle and strong.
âDonât worry. Itâs not settled yet, right? Look at my performance tonight. Do I really look like somethingâs wrong with me?â
Georgia giggled and hugged the man before her tight.
She didnât want to say somethings. Even until now, even though sheâd seen that the information had been sent to her mailbox, she didnât download it or take a look.
She still didnât dare do it. She wasnât so brave a person.
With all the pain sheâd suffered, she was all the more afraid for it, all the more cherishing of every minute, every second of the present.
When Robert fell asleep in the middle of the night, Georgia put her own clothes on and opened the door without a sound, leaving the bedroom.
At that moment, Robert opened his eyes, but sighed and didnât follow her.
Sometimes, he couldnât keep standing between her and the truth.

Seeing it was her, the bodyguards didnât block the way.
It was the mistress of the house, after all.
Georgia made it all the way to the basement, where there was only a small lamp lighting the place.
In the dark basement, Sierra had curled up and gone to sleep.
As Georgiaâs footsteps sounded towards her, Sierra showed a mocking smile.
âWhat, coming in the middle of the night to find out the truth?
âI can tell you. I can tell you everything. But you should understand, after knowing these things, youâre the one whoâs going to suffer in the end.â
