369. LIE
Hevin stepped over the threshold.
The floor was covered with milky white marble tiles, and the overall decoration style of the house was soft. Hewen entered the hall within a few steps. Colorful fruits were dotted with exquisite silver-white low tables. On both sides of the table, there were Two brown sofa chairs.
Hevin sat down opposite Rebecca:
"Long time no see, Mrs. Leicester."
Rebecca smiled and said:
"Long time no see, Mr. Hevin, I can't even express to you how excited I am right now."
Rebecca said with great sincerity:
"Thank you, Mr. Hevin, thank you for everything you have done for us, thank you for allowing me to take revenge on Ogden with my own hands."
Hewen said:
"It's easy, I just did what I had to do..."
Rebecca interrupted:
"No, Mr. Hewen, your help to our family is really important. It is for this reason that I feel extremely guilty at this moment."
The guilt exuded from Rebecca was much weaker than that of the valet.
Hewen said doubtfully:
"What's wrong?"
Rebecca lowered her head and said in a low voice:
"I have a terrible request.
"I want you to stay away from Nellie and Jimmy.
"I know my current behavior is very rude, and I'm sorry for everything you did to us, but I have to do it because I am a mother, and sometimes, for the sake of my children, I need to make some mistakes. Decide."
Hewen asked:
"It's okay, but can you tell me why?"
Rebecca looked at Hevin's face sincerely and explained:
"You know, that incident had a profound impact on us, especially Nellie and Jimmy. I don't want you to meet Jimmy. On the one hand, it's because there were some unpleasant things that happened between you two. Pleasant conversation. The other reason is that he is often disturbed by nightmares at night. From time to time he screams miserably at night and then wakes up from nightmares. It was not until recently that he got better.
"I hope he can recover quickly and be healthy and peaceful. With all due respect, if you appear in front of him again, I'm worried that he will recall his bad experience and be haunted by nightmares again.
"And Nellie, I know that Ogden often joked with you before that he would marry his daughter to you. Of course, we all know that this was just a joke to tease the children. After all, there is such a big age difference between you. And the difference in concepts of looking at the world is so big.
"But Nelly seems to take this statement seriously, and after experiencing everything, she has some more unreal feelings for you. Some people will transform their gratitude and admiration for heroes into other feelings.
"But it's impossible for you, isn't it? We are just a group of ordinary people, but Mr. Hevin, you are a person living in a mysterious world. We do not exist in the same space, but we only occasionally intersect.
"She doesn't have the courage or talent to step into that world, and you know that too, Mr. Hewen..."
Hewen interrupted her:
"Yes, I know. Our worldviews are too different, and we are not of the same era. Although Mrs. Leicester may not be able to tell, I am actually older than the Marquis of Taylor."
Rebecca opened her eyes wide, she really didn't expect this.
Hewen smiled and said:
"Mrs. Leicester, don't worry. I said it a long time ago. Nelly is a good child, but she doesn't love me. Her initial feelings for me were more like a sense of attachment to an older and more powerful person. She
She has very keen senses and she sensed my power.
"After that, although it was because of a misunderstanding, she did notice something worse, something that really belonged to me, so her view of me became a little complicated, with fear and trust intertwined, but in the end
, absolutely no love.”
Hewen said confidently:
“It is impossible for people to fall in love with someone because of a few jokes, and if someone makes jokes to someone while they are falling in love with another person, these jokes cannot be the reason why they fall in love.
"Mrs. Leicester, I am very old and have experienced a lot of love. I know what it feels like to love someone better than most people in this world."
Rebecca shook her head:
"No, Mr. Hevin, maybe you have experienced a lot, but love, the mystery of love can never be exhausted. There is too much love in this world that you cannot understand."
Hewen nodded:
"I don't deny that the love between Ogden and you surprised me. His love for you is so sincere and unreserved. Even after death, it can penetrate the brain of the shapeshifter and defeat you.
His thirst for blood."
Rebecca closed her eyes and took a deep breath:
"Mr. Hevin, I haven't said it, but like my own children, I don't want to recall the pain of Ogden."
Hewen comforted:
"In the end, we will only remember those happy times. The pain will eventually be numbed by time. Maybe the pain will not subside, but one day, we will endure the pain and feel the happiness we once had.
"Because it's all worth it."
Rebecca shook her head violently:
"No, Mr. Hewen, you don't understand our love, and you don't understand my pain..."
Hewen looked into her eyes and said:
"Mrs. Leicester, I may not really understand, but I know you have gone astray."
Rebecca suddenly opened her eyes wide, stared at Hevin and asked:
"What did you say?"
Hewen did not come to see Nelly today.
He said:
"You have gone astray. The Ax of Mortavi I gave you has abandoned you because it knows you are no longer qualified to control it.
"Only when the owner loses his mind and cannot see the way forward clearly will he abandon his owner."
Rebecca instantly shouted:
"Shut up."
After she finished speaking, she realized what she had done:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Hevin, I can't control myself."
Hevin continued to look at Rebecca's pupils and said:
"How many people have you killed with this axe?"
Rebecca showed a horrified expression:
"What are you talking about? It's just..."
Rebecca forced herself to calm down and said in a gentle tone:
"Mr. Hevin, I'm sorry, but I have to ask you to leave here, because I suddenly remembered that there is something urgent that needs to be dealt with."
She no longer cares about maintaining so-called politeness, she just wants to expel people written on her face
After speaking, Rebecca took out a bag full of banknotes from under the table:
"This is a small gift I prepared. Although it is not as good as everything you have done to us, at least accept it. This is the only thing we can do."
Hewen reached out and picked up the bag without saying anything else.
Rebecca didn't tell the whole truth today.
