I nodded, hesitated, looked at him and said, “Alex, did youe to City P with him? It’s been so long, and I can’t get his number, did he change his card?”


    Mentioning Alex, his face obviously stiffened, and then his voice was raw, “Not quite sure, I haven’t contacted him for a long time, maybe … has gone to Country M. After all, he is familiar with that side.”


    That’s not right, I frowned, “Did you and Alex have a fight? Or did something happen?”


    He froze and shook his head, “No, we’re all fine, don’t think too much about it, how are you doing after so long without contact? Mom said a while ago that riana was sick, how are you doing now?”


    This is not the right person!


    riana is a child that he and Alex have been bringing up for a long time. If it were a child between simple friends, he might just ask casually, but riana is different. He and Alex love riana as their daughter, so howe it’s over now with such a light-hearted remark? It shouldn’t be!


    Looking at him, I spoke, “Stannis, I know that no matter what, between you and Alex is your personal matter, but standing as a friend, I am Alex’s friend and your sister, I shouldn’t not ask anything, what is going on with you and Alex? Do you know what kind of disease riana had before? It was acute leukemia, she almost didn’t survive, you and Alex I don’t know what happened, I couldn’t get through on the phone, you didn’t reply to my messages, but if you consider me a friend, no matter what, you should talk to me, I don’t believe you are so indifferent to both riana and me, you don’t even greet me in life and death situations.”


    When he heard about riana’s condition, he froze for a moment, apparently being surprised. I guess Luna didn’t talk to him carefully about riana’s condition, so he didn’t know.


    After a moment of silence, he looked at me and spoke, “How is riana doing now? Better?”


    I nodded, “She had a bone marrow transnt, and a kidney transnt, she’s better now, but there’s still a five year old observation period, if she doesn’t rpse there’s nothing wrong, if she does she may need a second transnt. But we’re talking, not about riana, but about you and Alex, what’s going on?”


    He sped his hands, his emotions were a little out of control, and only after a long time did he speak, “He got a woman from the bar pregnant and went back to Country M to be with that woman to have a baby.”


    I was a bit frozen by the light words, and after a moment’s hesitation, I spoke, “What was going on between you and him before? You had feelings for him, didn’t you?”


    He pursed his lips and looked at me, “Do you resent the sentiment?”


    I hastily shook my head, “No, any kind of feelings in this world are pure, there is no such thing as suspicion, Stannis, I will ask because I saw a long time ago, you and Alex are different from each other, I think you truly care about each other, so I will ask this, now I ask, also because I think that the original very good between you I can understand your and Alex’s respective decisions, I just want to remind you not to be ashamed of your youth.”


    He nodded and bowed his head, “It’s good for me and him to get back on track with our normal lives, and it’s good for us all to live our respective lives.”


    This is also quite good in a few words, I faintly heard a wave of regret, a time of some hesitation, looked at him, “You to Cassandra, is like it?”


    We can’t be perfect, fair and just to everyone, but at least we can’t be ashamed of our own hearts.


    He nodded, “She is kind and gentle, very sweet and understanding, she is very much like you when you were young, somewhat stubborn, but also very contradictory. If the person you choose to spend the rest of your life with is her, it’s good, at least there are not so many regrets in this life.”


    I was a little surprised, did not expect, he would say such words, a slight nod, and no more questions, now the choice, if it is the best result, it is naturally the best.


    Cassandra and Luna came down from upstairs, Luna gave Cassandra a set of jewelry, not high value, but enough to represent the heart, Cassandra is a girl from a middle-ss family, more or less know about jewelry, for jewelry, she seems to like it very much.


    In the vi chatted for a while, see the day some y, Folly took Keith back, Zack had a colleague party in the evening, also left, Stannis took Cassandra leaf away.


    I originally wanted to spend time with riana, but I didn’t expect to get a call from Shaw, it’s been so long since I’ve been in touch, I’d forgotten.


    Picking up the phone, I hesitated for a moment and spoke, “Hello Shaw!”


    “ra, are you busy? Can I ask you out for a drink?” By the sound of her voice, she seemed tired.


    I nodded and without thinking, I said, “Um, where are you?”Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    “I’ll send you the address!” She spoke, then hung up the phone.


    I hugged riana, kissed her, apologized and then drove straight to the address Shaw had sent me.


    Bar entrance.


    What’s wrong with Shaw? Suddenlying to the bar for a drink?


    Went in and looked around, found her behind the bar, she was dressed in a punk outfit, very fashionable, looking like she shouldn’t look like a woman who already had a child.


    “What’s wrong? Suddenly thought of asking me for a drink?” I hadn’t seen her for a long time, and her makeup was a bit thick, so I didn’t recognize her for a while.


    She raised her eyes, her gaze was a bit misty, I think she drank a lot of wine before I came.


    “Have a seat and talk!” She spoke, reached out and pulled the seat next to me for me, looked at the waiter and said, “One brandy, please!”


    I hastily spoke, “Give me a ss of juice, no alcohol, please!”


    She skimmed her lips and looked at me, “Come to the bar without a drink?”


    I raised my eyebrows, “It’s not always dinner when you go into a restaurant.”


    She looked down, lost, and said, “And yes, marriage is not always because of love.”


    This …


    Feeling emotional again, seeing that she had a few sses of wine, I looked at her and said, “You didn’t call me here just so I could watch you drink, did you?”


    She drank a little anxiously, coughing fiercely, not a momentter, lying on the table and crying, her voice choked, “I have tried very hard, so many years, I have now be not myself, I have turned everything about myself into the same as you, even what you like, the way you say, I have learned, but, why ah, still not, he does not love me, just I don’t love me, what should I do?”


    I stared, suddenly knowing that he was having a hard time because of something. Hank was really able to toss a fresh woman around like this.
