Chapter 61 CHAPTER 61
James was alone in his room when he suddenly thought he was seeing the love of his life coming towards him, but she never reached where he was seated, even though she kept walking towards him at a close distance. Each time he blinked his eyes, she disappeared from his vision.
He had just finished downing his sixth bottle of liquor.
Was it an illusion after getting drunk?
Had she never been there?
He held his head in his hands and paralyzed on the carpet.
She's getting married. Married another man?
It was all his fault. He hurt her feelings. He hurt her all the time. Now she really didn't love him anymore!
He kept bumping his head against the wall as if to punish himself.
At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open gently. When the woman who entered the room saw him, she exclaimed, "James, what are you doing? Do you have a headache? Were you hit by a car this afternoon? " She was so nervous that she rushed over and held his head.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at her without blinking. He was afraid that she would disappear all of a sudden as soon as he opened his eyes. "Is that really you? Sonia, am I dreaming? "
"No, it's me. You vomited all over, and I'll take the clothes to the washing room for you." She said in a low voice.
"Great! That's great!" He hugged her tightly and said, "I'm sorry, Sonia. I'm wrong. I'll take you away, okay? We can go abroad together. I want nothing but you! Don't leave me. Don't marry anyone else! " Tears fell down from his eyes, wetting her clothes, and also scalding her heart.
She suddenly realized that she had never understood him. He had chosen to leave her, but why was he still unwilling to let her go?
"James, what are you doing? You can't get both the fish and the bear! We are not meant to be together! Why do you insist? " She sighed heavily.
"I know I was too greedy in the past. If I can only choose one, I choose you. I can't live without you, Sonia." His face was covered with tears. He buried his head in her arms and held her tightly, like a desperate man who clung to the last straw in front of him. She was at a loss and didn't know what to do. "Your mother came to see you. She looked worried. Do you need to call her? After all, she is just discharged from the hospital."
"Don't mind her. Whether she agrees or not, I want to be with you. I won't be deceived or threatened by her again." He said, gritting his teeth with unprecedented determination in his eyes.
James had gone to America to see his mother out of concern. However, to his surprise, she hadn't been hospitalized. Instead, she had been staying in his uncle's home. The so-called heart disease was just an excuse for him to leave Sonia.
At that time, he was almost freaked out. For the first time, he roared at her; for the first time, he disobeyed her. He went back to York City madly. He wanted to retrieve the lost love, but he couldn't find the one he wanted to see.
"Let's get married, Sonia!" He suddenly knelt in front of her and took out a pink heart-shaped diamond from his pocket. He bought the ring after coming back from America. He wanted to propose to her and take her back before she married another man.
She had a violent convulsion, and an extremely desolate look appeared on her face. Her eyes were full of tears, her eyelashes trembling in pain, and her lips trembling in pain. She could not wear his ring, because she had worn another one on her finger.
"James, there's something I haven't told you yet." She bit her lips hard, and the light created a mottled shadow on her face. Her face was as pale as paper and her eyes were filled with melancholy. She opened her mouth and wanted to continue saying, but she felt so powerless and weak. The following words seemed to drain the strength of her whole life.
After a long while, she said in a low voice, "on April 1st, I took the courage to confess to you, but I didn't expect that you would get married to Fabian. I was so sad that I went to the bar for a drink. Then I met Daniel. We drank a lot. We got drunk and went to the Bureau of civil affairs to register for marriage, "
"What did you say?" The ring on his hand dropped at once due to his trembling fingers.
"You mean you got married to him? Just like that? unconsciously? Is this some kind of joke? Tell me you are not serious"
"But I am James. It's no joke. This is his ring, already on my finger. I'm sorry but it's too late. We can't be together James."
He instantly felt like a million daggers had pierced through his heart.
"No matter what, I can't live without you Sonia. Don't blame me if I die proving this to you."
Her eyes widen at his words...was he thinking about committing suicide for her sake?
It was nearly midnight when she arrived at the villa.
Daniel was still awake. He was sitting on the sofa and watching the playback of Beauty on Overpass, so that he could kill the time without her at night.
As soon as she entered the door, she wanted to go upstairs directly, but was stopped by him. "Is it Eva?"
She shrugged her shoulders and didn't answer. She pretended to be tired and yawned, "I'm so tired. I want to go upstairs to take a shower and then go to bed."
He nodded slightly and let her go upstairs, without saying another word.
She stayed in the bathroom for a long time with mixed feelings.
She wanted to love and live a simple life, but God made fun of her again and again. She was involved in the whirlpool of love and hatred, which made her fall into a dilemma.
"Sonia are you okay?" There came the voice of Daniel. He was worried that she fell asleep in the bathtub since she hadn't come out for a long time.
"I'll be out in a minute." She stood up from the bathtub, dried her body and put on her pajamas.
In the room, Daniel had already gone back to the bed. He looked at her direction carefully. "If you don't come out, I'll break in."
"It is all your bathtub's fault to be so comfortable." She cracked a joke to cover up her frail heart.
She was about to go to bed, but she suddenly stopped and stood at the bedside, thinking about the bed. Why did the bed become smaller than it was yesterday? Did she get the illusion because of her blurred eyes?
"Aren't you very sleepy? Why don't you sleep?" Daniel leaned against the head of the bed, with a flash of indescribable joy in his eyes.
She lay down and pulled up the quilt. Then he lay down and turned around. With his head resting on his hand, he smiled at her and said, "you muddle headed fool, how about Dragon City? Is there any problem? "
"I am fine, but the pressure is too hard." She pouted.
"I'll take you out tomorrow to relax." He rubbed her hair with his long fingers and played with it with interest.
"Where do you want to go?" She raised her almond shaped eyes.
"Where do you want to go?" Drawing under his breath was his perfect lips.
"Let's go climbing the mountain and invite more friends, together with Jim, Alice and Holy. After all, tomorrow is weekend, they should be free, right?" She giggled, with a hint of cunning hidden in the jumping dimples on her cheeks.
"Only you and I are not good enough?" Daniel furrowed his eyebrows. Since his identity had been exposed to the public, she had tried her best to refuse to get along with him alone.
"Let's go out and play. The more the merrier." She temporized. From now on, she had to get rid of the habit to him and keep a distance.

On the other side of Dragon City.
The private detective showed Elizabeth the photos he had taken secretly.
"Good!" Elizabeth laughed ferociously. She was good at making trouble as long as she got the goods on this little bitch, she could make Sonia to be blackened to death. It would be useless for Sonia to defend herself with these photos. "Print them out and ask someone to release them."
After the private detective left, Valery gave a thumbs up to her and said, "Mommy, you're so smart. You've found her braid. I never thought that she would play around outside without telling Dan. When he learns about it, he must be furious, so he would divorce her without hesitation! "
Elizabeth smiled coldly, "not only him, your aunt Mary and the whole family won't let her go. You are the only one to be Daniel's wife. If anyone else dares to take your place, they're courting death!"
Sonia liked to sleep late, so she didn't get up until noon.
After having early lunch, they were about to go out and climb the mountain. At this moment, William called, "that woman has hit the headlines again."
"Sonia met a strange man in a hotel and stayed there until midnight."
In the photo, they hugged each other intimately.
Upon seeing the photo, Sonia guessed that it was taken when she was about to open the door and go out. Fortunately, James wasn't recognized. Otherwise, it would be more troublesome.
Daniel was no longer in the mood to go climbing. His face was gloomy, like the horrible cloud before a heavy storm. When she said that her friend had come, she thought it was Eva, but it turned out to be a man.
There was only one man in the world who was able to entangle with her. The man's hair was in a mess and his face was covered with stubble. But Daniel still recognized him after looking at him for a long time.
However, he didn't show any expression on his face. Instead, he just asked in a low voice, "who is he?" He wanted her to speak it out herself.
She tried to make herself look calm, opened her mouth and greeted, "James."
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything. He took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator and took a swig, as if trying to chill down his anger. "I thought you were over," he said. His voice sounded like the sea before the storm, surging slowly and solemnly.
She walked to the window and opened it so that the wind and sunshine could squeeze in. "He came to find me. He didn't know where I was and was wandering around the Dragon City, looking for me all the time. He made himself very tired and weak." She said it frankly. Her heart ached at the thought of him being drunk and in a mess.
"So, you are touched by his words. Do you want to come back to him?" He glared at her with anger. A touch of indescribable pain and disappointment quickly rose in his eyes. He frowned with anger burning between his eyebrows and his chest heaving heavily with a heavy breath.
She lowered her eyes which cast a sad shadow on her eyelids. "I have told him about our marriage. And he is engaged now. I hope that before we get our freedom back, I don't want to have too much contact with him. Even though I will accept him again, I will wait for all things to be handled. After that, I just want a simple and calm love. " She told him slowly and gently.
His heart stirred like waves. Mixed feelings surged in his heart, he didn't know whether he should be relieved or worried. Perhaps, the former was more. He knew that James was much more important than him in her heart. Besides, he had given her such a troublesome task. She didn't leave him behind and went away with him, which was a relief for him.
"I'll deal with it. Don't answer the reporters."
She nodded, feeling relieved secretly when she saw that he was neither angry at her nor blaming her. He seemed to be ready to turn over a new leaf.

They both went to see Valery who was now very heavy with her pregnancy.
Daniel was silent. Staring at her belly, he couldn't help but think of something deeply in his mind, which no one could figure out. For a long time, he said in a low voice, "baby, be good. Grow up quickly and I'm waiting for you." The baby was very important. He must make sure that she could give birth to it safely.
Valery then cast a challenging and arrogant glance at Sonia.
The look stabbed Sonia's heart like a knife, stabbing it countless times. When Daniel looked at Valery, his eyes were cold, but when he looked at her belly, his eyes were warm enough. This must be the joy of being a father for the first time, right? Looking at the harmonious family of three generations, she suddenly felt that she was really like an outsider, a redundant person.
Although Valery and Elizabeth were hateful, their child was innocent. He needed a complete family. If Daniel finally compromised, and was willing to be together with her for the child, shouldn't she put down hatred and fulfill them?
She wasn't Elizabeth after all, and she didn't want to be such a shameless woman as her!
It seemed that Daniel thought of her. He quickly put down his hand that was still attached to her stomach and said, "have a good rest. We're leaving now." After saying that, he attempted to take the hand of Sonia, but she suddenly shrank as a thorn. "It's so late. I can't make it to climb the mountain in the evening. Why don't we stay here? I'm going to find the evening dresses for Ivy and Daisy."
"They are fishing in the fish pond. You can go and find them." Mary asked her to leave with an excuse so that her son could have some time with Valery.
"Okay." Sonia nodded, stood up and quickly walked outside. The air in the living room was so depressing, and she needed to go out to breathe some fresh air.
"Sonia!" Daniel frowned and wanted to chase after her. But he was stopped by Valery.
"Dan, don't go, stay with our baby, okay?" She looked pitiful.
"I'll come back later." He said coldly. He got rid of her hands and ran out of the ward.
Looking at the direction he disappeared, she was angry and anxious, and almost burst into tears.
Mary came over, patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, "don't worry. Take it easy. He will come back to you sooner or later as long as the child is here."
The bamboo forest was quiet and dark.
A stone paved path winding to the depths. The sun was dyed into green by bamboo leaves, and scattered on the path.
Breeze kissed the tip of bamboo, rustling, light and quiet as if someone was laughing with pride.
But Sonia walked very fast. Her heavy steps seemed to show her inexplicable anger.
It was Daniel. He caught up with her quickly and held her in his arms from behind.
"Honey, don't be angry. I'll punish myself." He knew that this period of time would definitely cause trouble and misunderstanding for her, but in order to make the child born safely, he could not be neglected, and could only temporarily make her suffer.
With a look of anger, confusion and depression, she turned her head and said, "iceberg guy, I just can't understand. Since you care so much about your children, why don't you just marry Valery. Anyway, the child needs a complete family."
With a serious look on his face, Daniel held her shoulders and said, "we can give her an intact family."
She felt speechless.
To be a step mother? No way!
"Stop your wishful thinking. I don't plan to be a stepmother for others!"
"Then we can have our own baby." Said Daniel with a smile. He wouldn't force her to accept it. She was a woman of sharp tongue.

The both of them were together with Ivy and Daisy.
Holding Daisy in her arms, Ivy said, "so, my cousin, you should try to change William's attitudes towards you."
"What are you talking about?" Daisy glanced at her coquettishly, her cheeks turning red.
Daniel knew her secret clearly. But it was not easy for William to get his heart out again. After all, William had been badly hurt. As their brother, he had to put in more effort for them.
As soon as he could think of it, another woman also thought of it. So she immediately put it into action and said, "Daisy, Ivy, Dan and I planned to climb the mountain today, but we failed. You two have to go with us tomorrow, and we'll bring William as well."
"Okay." When Daisy heard that William would go, her eyes were shining with excitement. Ivy was a party girl, so she would not miss such a good chance.
Daniel was crazy in his heart. He shot a glare at Sonia. What about the 'two people's world'?
In the afternoon....
When Albert came back, he asked his son to go to the study room and play chess with him.
After working in the studio for a while, Sonia went to the garden alone and had an afternoon tea.
