Chapter 658 Forever a Secret


    “Ah, Winnie, are you not staying at home?” Tim was extremely worried.


    Winnie gave a little smile, looking calm. “Yes grandpa, let brother, Esther, and Iris keep youpany


    these days. I am really busy, but I wille back often to visit! Don’t worry, grandpa!”


    She had a tranquil smile on her lips. However, even though she was smiling, sadness hung on her lips.


    She never thought that Hudson would being today. She didn’t want to have anything to do with


    him. She felt the pain deep in her bones, and even though it’s been years since what happened, there


    were still painful aftereffects. Every pain felt especially torturing. She was finally feeling numb about it,


    hence she didn’t want to feel any kind of strong pain anymore. If she felt more pain, she might even die


    from it.


    Hudson looked at Winnie with a mixture of emotions, his gaze rested on her face for a few seconds,


    and said, “Regarding what you mentioned about the procedure, I’ll promise you that. Once you’ve had


    enough rest, you can go handle it!”


    If she really already had a boyfriend, then it’s time for him to let go of her. He couldn’t hurt her anymore.


    Because of him, this girl had already been hurt tremendously.


    “What procedure?” Esther was surprised and nced worriedly at the two of them. “You guys already


    met before this?”


    Winnie’s brain throbbed. Looking at him, she didn’t answer Esther’s question. She then nodded her


    head and said, “Alright!”


    “Grandpa, Esther, I’m a little tired today, so I’ll not be eating. You guys go ahead, I’ll head back first, I’ll


    visit another time!” He said slowly, turning his gaze towards Winnie. Winnie, on the other hand, turned


    her gaze away, not wanting to look at him.


    His eyes sparkled and his lips quivered as if wanting to say something. But the words stopped short in


    his throat. He swallowed, pursed his lips tightly, and swallowed his words.


    “Hudson, what will you be eating back home, why not eat here before going back?” Esther asked


    hurriedly. She knew Hudson had something to say to Winnie, but it was obvious Winnie didn’t want to


    talk to him now.


    About what happened four years ago, Ethel had told her about it before, she understood how Winnie


    felt. Winnie was hurt too deep, and she was the one who was the main culprit of their breakup.


    Because of this, she had to help them get back together.


    “Esther, I’m alright, I’ll head back to sleep first!” Hudson left, but before he left, he took another final


    look at Esther. Some words were still left unsaid.


    “Winnie, aren’t you sending Hudson off?!” Esther pulled at Winnie’s hands hurriedly.


    Startled, Winnie shook her head.


    However, looking at him who was turning around to leave, and when he walked out from that door, her


    heart was in knots, as if she was about to suffocate. She was extremely upset.


    “Oh dear, I’ll talk to youter, I’ll go take a look at Hudson!” Esther stomped and ran out.


    Winnie frowned and suppressed her sadness, her eyes glistening with tears. She lowered her head,


    and her tears suddenly trickled down. He had never loved her before, that was clear!


    Looking at his granddaughter, Tim gave a long sigh and turned to look at Rio. That fellow was brought


    back by his granddaughter, but what’s the meaning of all this? He was a Caucasian, and he had no


    good feelings about Caucasians. It felt that they were a different species. But looking at his


    granddaughter now, it was obvious that she still cared about Hudson. How did ite to this situation?


    He realized that four yearster today, Hudson was looking at Winnie with a different gaze in his eyes!


    He was starting to feel something for Winnie, but… s…


    “Hudson!” Esther chased after him, but Hudson had already walked out and was getting into his car.


    “Esther, you go back in first!” Hudson looked unusually tired. “I’ll leave first!”


    When he was about to get into his car, a car engine sounded again, and Ethel’s car arrived and turned


    into the vi’spound. He got down from the car, andughingly said, “Brother, you’re here too? Or


    are you already leaving?”


    “Yes!” Hudson nodded. “You guys go in!”


    “Why are you leaving? It’s not easy for all of us to meet, I got Philip toe too, he’ll be arriving in a


    bit!”


    Speaking of Philip… Philip’s car arrived. Hudson saw that the car was blocking his exit, five luxury cars


    were parked there, and there was no way his car could get out.


    “Exactly, Hudson, don’t leave, some words have to be said to Winnie on your own. If you don’t tell her,


    how would she know how you feel? You can’t be like a boring old person and not say anything! This is


    making me so anxious!” Esther was really feeling very anxious, she hoped that Hudson could be


    happy.


    “Why is no one going in?” Philip was surprised, looking at them standing outside. He looked at Hudson


    again, “Intending to leave?”


    “How dare you leave, go in!” Ethel thought about what happened these four years. This woody brother


    of his had never taken any actions towards Winnie. He had let her work so hard these years. Only he


    knew that she was using work to forget her pain. What he didn’t know was that her hurt had to be


    treated by love.


    “Philip, please reverse your car, I’m very tired today, I really have to leave!” Hudson was firm.


    Looking at his furrowed brows, it looked like he was really tired, so all of them stopped saying anything.


    Philip took a look at Esther, when she nodded her head, he went to reverse his car.


    Hudson also got on his car, turned on his engine, and reversed his car.


    Esther muttered worriedly, “Ethel, help them think of a way to solve this, I’m so tired looking at them!”


    Ethel’s gaze fell on Esther, there was a moment ofplex feelings, but that faded immediately. “What


    can I do, if I had a way to help them, they would have gotten together four years ago!”


    “But I feel like you would have a way!” Esther took a look at Ethel. They had met a few times these four


    years, but she felt that he had changed. He looked a lot more maturepared to four years ago, but


    his cheerful personality still remained, it was pretty funny.


    “What you’re waiting for has finallye to you, congrattions!” Ethel looked at her and said


    seriously.


    Esther gave a heartyugh, “Thanks for your encouragement all this while, and thanks for believing


    that he is still alive. Without you guys, I wouldn’t have been able to go on!”


    Philip drove his car back in and saw Ethel and Esther talking. But when he saw Ethel’s expression


    when looking at Esther, he was a little shocked. At the moment when babe lowered her head, he saw


    what looked like love in his gaze.


    He paused in surprise. Whether it was or wasn’t love, Ethel had done well, he had hidden it very well.


    “Let’s go, let’s get into the house!” Esther entered the house.


    Ethel looked at thedy entering the house, bit his lips, shook his head, and his smiling face came back


    to him. He looked exactly like a yboy.


    “Are you not getting married?” Philip asked him from behind.


    “Marry? Why should I get married?” Ethel raised his eyebrows.


    “Still such a yboy?” Philip also raised his eyebrows.


    Ethel stopped in his tracks, his hands in his suit pockets, narrowed his beautiful peach-shaped eyes to


    look at him, “I think you’re more of a yboy than me? It’s normal for me to be a yboy because I’m


    single. Aren’t you married? Dumping your wife at home while you have all the fun outside, isn’t that


    wrong?”


    “Am I having fun outside?” Philip retorted.


    “Aren’t you?” Ethel pursed his lips, unbelievingly.


    “I can only say it’s too bad we are living in modern society, if we’re living in the medieval era, we would


    be kings that are ying with new women every day!” Philip joked.


    “Ha! King, I like that! Women, I love them more!”


    Philipughed and thought about how Ethel was looking at Esther just now. A sly look shed across


    his eyes. He knew that some secrets could only stay secrets forever.


    The Perry family’s dinner was filled with amazing dishes, the handsome men on the dinner table made


    it even more attractive.


    Iris didn’t care much about all these people, she only ate as much food as possible. Hugo on the other


    hand heaped Iris’s te with food and helped her peel her prawns, his care for her was top notch.


    During dinner, no one talked about Hudson anymore. Winnie lowered her head and ate her meal,


    asionally conversing with Rio, but what they were talking about was confined only to food, and not


    anything else, for example, discussing how the food was made.


    Hudson who had left the Perry family stopped his car on the road in the middle of the mountains.


    Looking at the city far away, he felt incredibly lonely. Unknowingly, his eyes teared up. What’s


    happening? He was a man, why was he crying out of nowhere.


    Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    However, he really felt like crying out of nowhere. His tears slid past the corner of his lips, it tasted both


    salty and bitter.


    No one knew, he was in fact crying on the highway in the middle of the mountains, with his head buried


    in his driving wheel. His shoulders were trembling furiously, and he was sobbing profusely…


    The second morning, Winnie slept for a long time, it was the first time she hadn’t woken up at dawn.


    She was woken up by Rio’s phone call.


    Aftering out from home yesterday, when she arrived at the apartment, she had repeatedly looked


    at the materials in her hands. She only fell asleep when her brain was exhausted, but she still couldn’t


    escape her recurring dreams.


    The scattered images from her past intertwined to be a messy movie in her dreams. The final


    image of the dream was still that of a cold night sky…


    “Winnie, you don’t have to work today, I’ll give you a day off because of jetg, let’s have lunch


    together!” Rio’s voice said with a smile.


    Winnie pressed at her temples, “Rio, I only feel like sleeping today, you go eat on your own!”


    “Then I’ll head back to cook, I’ll send it over when I’m done! Since we are neighbors now!” As if worried


    that he’ll be rejected, he added,


    “You have to eat something!”


    Winnie didn’t know what else to say, replied, “Forget it, let’s go for lunch together!”


    Rio’s car arrived at the lobby of the apartment at 11.30 a.m., she was already waiting on her doorstep.


    When she got in the car, Rioughed, “Are you not wearing any makeup today?”


    Winnieughed, “Are my dark circles that bad?”


    She had lost sleepst night. Every time she saw Hudson, she would have insomnia, then she would


    start working, using work to forget him. But she would feel exhausted every time this happened.


    “Didn’t sleep wellst night?” Asked Rio.


    “Yes, I went to bed quitete.” Winnie partially avoided his question.


    “Then have a short nap in the car, I’ll wake you up when we are there.” In Rio’s tone, there was a tinge


    of heartache.


    Winnie nodded and thought of something. “Do you know where we can find good food?”


    “No idea!” Rio shrugged.


    “Heh, then why are you still bringing me. I’m not sleeping, let’s go to N Restaurant! It’s my treat!” She


    leaned back on her chair. “Go straight, there’ll be a T-junction in front, then make a left turn.”


    “Alright!” Rio nodded, but he shot another worried look at her. Looking at her pale and tired face, he


    gave a light sigh in his heart. Since the first day he knew this girl, he had felt a particr heartache for


    her.


    Her businesses were all with the most difficult clients, but she had worked her way up slowly step by


    step. He had witnessed her sess which hadn’te easily. It had not been easy at


    all.
