Chapter 310: Meeting the Child
Last night’s inexplicable but real spring.Dream, let her anxiety at the same time more look down on themselves; Darcy is in danger in Yunnan, and she can’t help but worry.
I was tired, thinking about all this, but I couldn’t sleep. Only close to the soft bodies of the children, her emotions can gradually calm down.
Until the next morning, Darcy finally received a message, very simple: safe, don’t miss.
It’s not like him, but when she called back, he wouldn’t
answer.
She didn’t dare keep calling, for fear he wouldn’t be able to answer the phone and put him in danger. For the next three days, Darcy will check in with him on time. But the more so, the more worried she was, if he did not come back, she decided to personally go to Yunnan to find someone, did not see him before, she could not rest assured.
Penn had been in Hartford for three days, and during those three days, he had kept his promise not to disturb her, much less to show himself, except to park his car near her law office every day and watch her go in and out, busy figure.
In fact, it was a very new feeling, she was in his completely strange city, living a completely different life, as if she could live well without him.
She was so busy that every morning she would jog across the street into the office building of the law firm, and often within half an hour of arriving at the firm, she would come out with her assistant, Karen, to meet with clients, either with a notebook or a pile of papers.
The law firm’s office building is an old building, and there’s not enough parking, so her car is always parked across the street. Across the road according to his observation, in fact, it is not a serious parking space, that is, everyone stops on the side of the road, and over time it becomes a parking lot.
And she’s getting so good at driving, she can get into a parking space that small. Once she was a little off, she backed out, intending to move the position, and as soon as she fell out, a car next to her did not know where to drill out, and then occupied her position.
She seemed exasperated, got out of the car, knocked on the driver’s window of the small car, and pointed to her car, indicating that this was her position.
Maybe her expression is too scary, or maybe she took out the lawyer’s certificate to frighten the other side, and the other side was disheartened to give her the parking space.
He looked amused, far from the Serena he had remembered, who had a little more street air but was also livelier.
Miraculously, that day she got off work, his car caught up with her car, saw where she worked in recent years, he couldn’t help but want to see where she lived.
Then not very close to follow her car through a few blocks, and finally saw her car parked near a kindergarten.
She got out of the car and walked to the kindergarten gate. After a while, she came out with a friend by the hand and walked to the car with a smile.
Darcy, who is still a complete stranger at the airport, is holding one in one hand, he only remembers the picture is very beautiful, but only a vague impression of the two children, has already forgotten the specific features, goodbye at this time, because Serena is holding a hand, and then look at the children’s features, some ideas quickly flashed through his mind,These thoughts alone made his heart beat so fast that he almost forgot to breathe.
Did you, now?
Could it?
Never had such a hope, not even a fantasy.
By the time he gets his breath back and reacts, Serena’s car is long gone. He had always been a calm man, but now he could not calm down, driving through the streets of
Hartford, still could not eliminate the swelling in his heart, the excitement of running out.
He calls Nate, who is toasting at a dinner party and answers Penn’s call
“What is it?”
In front of his friends, Penn suddenly could not say a word, those surging emotions made his throat tight, “talk later.” Hung up the phone in a hurry.
“??Nate scolded him and went back to dinner.
——–
Penn’s mood is still difficult to calm, it takes a great deal of effort to restrain himself from looking for Serena, and not let the surging emotions overwhelm him, back to the hotel, the computer hacked into the kindergarten surveillance system.
It was a matter of little effort to him.
He quickly saw the two children on the surveillance video and found out what class they were in.
Carl?
Marcia?
Say thank–you?
At a glance, he saw the meaning of the two names, that she was honoring her mother.
Looking at the date of birth, it is estimated that she was pregnant two months before the divorce. The hand on the keyboard was stiff, and the blood of the whole body rushed to the brain, whistling, jumping, and having a splitting headache.
A lot of things, just missed.
When he learned that her mother died a month after the divorce, he was already heartbroken, and now he thought of her at that time, facing the pain of losing her mother alone, bearing the toil of pregnancy and raising twins alone, and struggling to get by in a strange city, his heart was too painful to feel.
Where was he then? What was his pain compared to hers, the self–pitying depression and self–torturing abroad?
It was also at this moment that he suddenly understood why Serena had so rejected him, why she was so determined not to come back to him. Because he is not qualified ah, in
recent years, if he is willing to look back at her once, even once, even as a friend, to help her life a little, she does not have to work so hard.
Is so missed, when she needed him most, he did not appear, now she has gone through all the difficulties, and how will return to his side?
From the joy and excitement at the moment of seeing the children to the current regret and heartache, all kinds of emotions are mixed together, making him a little breathless. When he returned to NY and Hartford, he was always sure of Serena’s feelings for him, so as long as the problems of his parents are solved, they will be able to start over.
But when he sees the kids, he realizes that Serena’s hatred for him isn’t disguised, that he turned her life upside down and then ran away, leaving her alone to deal with it.
She hated him, justifiably.
He couldn’t help but take a screenshot of the child’s information sheet, and then send it to Nate to see, the emotion in his heart, always find someone to vent.
Nate receives this inexplicable information form in the middle of the night. He takes a closer look at the pictures of the two children on the information form. As smart as he is, he jumps out of bed
“I grass, I grass…Want to swear, but only the instinctive response to scold these two words, the most accurate expression of his mood at the moment burst.
