Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again

That night, when Horace went back, he found that there was no extra quilt and pillow in the room.

Ava pulled him to the side, made a shushing gesture, and then whispered, "Your mother is out there."

Immediately afterwards, Ava told him what had happened this afternoon.

"I'm really sorry, it's all because of me, otherwise tomorrow I'll find an excuse to go out for a few days, tonight you'll sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the couch." Horace said, "It's okay, I'll go out and check it out."

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lucy standing not far away.

As soon as Lucy saw him come out, she hurriedly touched the picture frame and ordered to explain to the maid behind her, "This place is all dusty, clean it well tomorrow." The maid responded, "Yes."

Horace walked over, "Mom."

Lucy waved her hand at the maid, who bent down and left.

Waiting for people to walk away, Lucy only spoke: "I know what you are thinking, you are already married to Ava, so don't always think about ......"

"I didn't."

"Then why are you still ......" said Lucy, lowering her voice after so long, "sleeping separately?"

Horace said, "It's not what you think it is."

Lucy grunted twice: "It's not what I think, I think it's almost the same, since Ava has married you, she is your wife, for whatever reason, you have the responsibility to take care of her and protect her."

After a pause, Lucy added, "Or did you marry her just to deal with me? Are you planning to divorce her when I die?"

With that, Lucy blushed and coughed violently a few times.

Horace slowed his voice and said, "I didn't."

Lucy coughing collected a few points: "Since there is no, you give me back to the room, I am still waiting to hold a grandchild, I do not know how many years I can still live in this body, do you want me to die in peace." Horace was silent for a while: "I see."

"All right, all right, go back."

Lucy stopped coughing at this point and turned around to push Horace into the room.

In the room, Ava is ready to sleep on the sofa, she took out her long down jacket, as a quilt should be enough.

Horace closed the door and said, "Sleep on the bed."

Ava turned back to me, "It's okay, I'm fine sleeping here, not to mention you slept here for two months before too. Tomorrow I'll ......"

Horace said, "She won't let you go out to live."

After the words, he took Ava's down jacket and put it in the checkroom.

Ava didn't say anything and silently laid down on the side of the bed.

Not long after, she felt Horace lay down on the other side.

The bed is actually very wide, they each occupy one side, the middle of the large as if it can still lie down three people.

Even so, Ava felt like her heart was about to beat out of her chest.

This is the first time they have slept in the same bed in two months of marriage.

I don't know if it's because she's too nervous or what, but Ava is sleepless, turning back and forth.

Horace's voice came, "Can't sleep."

"Ah...... a little." Ava added, "Probably took a nap too long."

Horace didn't say anything, just said, "You and your sister don't get along?"

Hearing him ask this, Ava was silent for a while before she said, "Actually, she and I are not really close sisters."

Ava rolled over and stared at the ceiling and continued: "I am Leo's daughter born outside, in common parlance is illegitimate daughter, I was very young, my mother had a serious illness, until she could not live long, she forced Leo to take me back, not to expose what he did, Leo was forced to take me into the May Family, but he in order to But he claimed that I was adopted to save face, but not many people believed it, and then everyone acquiesced that I was Leo's daughter, illegitimate daughter or adopted daughter, but no one said anything.

Horace said, "So what's in your box?"

"It's my mother's relic." After saying that, Ava whispered, "Would you believe me if I said that my mother had no idea that Leo was married when she was with him." "I believe."

In the darkness, Ava first froze for a moment, and then a smile slowly lifted up on her face.
