"Alfred, where are you now?"
Alfred's grandfather asked him via the phone.
"Grandpa, I am staying in the hotel with my mother and talking to her. Why do you call me?"
Alfred asked gently. His grandfather smiled.
"In fact, you stay along with your mother. Come to Vanessa's condominium now. I saw my granddaughter-in-law and talked to her just now. Ask your mother whether she wants to come over? I have something to tell."
"Dad, I will go there with Alfred."
Isabel answered him, he smiled.
"Come here as soon as possible."
After hanging up the call, Mrs. Chow promised Alfred.
"Except the promise we make before, as long as you agree to keep holding the position, I will not intervene in the matter between you and Vanessa. I will not care whether you want to be with her or not, I will not say anything."
The enticement was alluring, Alfred was hesitant.
"You don't have to answer now. Since your grandfather calls you, let's meet him now. Vanessa is there too, let's go there together."
Alfred agreed to her promise.
While in the condominium which Vanessa and Georgia stayed, Vanessa, Georgia and Annie still talked with Alfred's grandfather.
They had arrived at the condominium, Annie sat on Georgia's knee. She listened to the adults talking obediently. Georgia remained silent for most of the time.
It was mostly Alfred's grandfather and Vanessa talking.
"I will ask others to investigate whether you have a twin sister."
Alfred's grandfather spoke to Vanessa after he heard Georgia saying that she met a woman who looked similar to Vanessa before.
"Thank you, grandpa…However, no matter the person exists or not, I will not get along with Alfred again. He can't tolerate this kind of matter. Even if we stay together, we will suffer."
Vanessa knew Alfred well. The man was not going to make it, why did they tangle again and torture each other?
Even if the Chow family members liked her but Alfred did not get over the incident, Vanessa thought that she would never get along with Alfred.
"Why can't both of you stay together? I have asked Alfred to come here. We should make everything clear today. Don't worry, I will not force you and Alfred to be together but you should not procrastinate anymore. Can you accept this way?"
Vanessa stayed silent for a while.
"It may not be a bad idea."
It was good that they made everything clear, then they should not tangle each other anymore.
They waited at the condominium for half an hour. Finally, Alfred reached Vanessa's condominium with his mother, Isabel.
"Dad, why don't you inform me that you are here?"
Mrs. Chow smiled at her father while Alfred called him grandpa.
Next, Mrs. Chow smiled at Vanessa and Georgia.
Compared to last time, Mrs. Chow showed a warmer expression. She greeted Vanessa affectionately.
"Vanessa, I am too impulsive when I see you last time. Don't mind that."
After saying that, Mrs. Chow smiled at Georgia.
"Ms. Lane, I am a bit rude when I first meet you. I hope you can forgive me."
After saying that, Mrs. Chow smiled at Annie and greeted her.
"Your daughter is so cute. Annie, can I hug you?"
Mrs. Chow walked towards Annie and stretched her hand to lift her. Georgia felt that the scene was unbelievable.
Annie was frightened. She turned her head and looked at Georgia. Then, she called mommy.
Obviously, Annie was panicked and did not know what to do. Georgia smiled.
"Annie, say thank you to Mrs. Chow."
Annie nodded to Mrs. Chow obediently.
"Thank you, Mrs. Chow."
Mrs. Chow lifted Annie and kissed her affectionately.
After that, she spoke to Vanessa and Alfred.
"Alfred, why do you quarrel with your wife? It makes me misunderstand Vanessa. You have admitted your mistake in front of me, right? Apologize to Vanessa now, then get along with her. If both of you can give birth to a cute granddaughter like Annie, I will be satisfied."
Alfred showed a weird expression.
He knew that Mrs. Chow was begging him. Alfred did not want to reveal the truth in front of the people.
Alfred could not get over the incident when facing Vanessa. Mrs. Chow was nervous.
"Don't you say that you want to apologize to Vanessa? Why do you stay there? Quickly apologize to her. Have you forgotten the agreement between us?"
Vanessa could not understand what happened. When she met Mrs. Chow for the first time, Mrs. Chow showed disdain and discontentment on her obviously. Her arrogant attitude hurt Vanessa's feeling.
However, Mrs. Chow treated her affectionately at the moment. She even said that Alfred wanted to apologize to her and everything was a misunderstanding. She felt that everything was not realistic.
Vanessa was stunned, she was as if indulging in her dream.
Alfred's grandfather looked at the scene, he smiled satisfyingly.
"Isabel, I think you are discontented with Vanessa. Vanessa has told me that they have met a woman similar to Vanessa before. The person involved in the video must not be Vanessa, we misunderstand her. Alfred, quickly apologize to your wife! You don't want to divorce when you misunderstand her to be the person in the video. Now, we have confirmed that Vanessa is not the person involved in the video. You should apologize to her and get along with her in the future."
After he said that, Mrs. Chow walked towards Alfred and pulled his hand.
"Grandpa has said that, you should apologize to Vanessa now. Then, most importantly, we get together as a family."
Alfred had thought of something. He breathed in deeply and walked towards Vanessa.
Then, he knelt in front of Vanessa.
"Wifey, I am wrong. I shouldn't blame you. Let's get along in the future and don't misunderstand each other anymore."
Vanessa was stunned. Georgia did not even dare to speak at the moment.
Vanessa and Georgia did not understand why they changed their attitude. Alfred was furious before, Vanessa and Georgia knew that.
However, Alfred knelt in front of Vanessa and apologized at the moment.
Vanessa was startled, she did not know how to deal with the scene.
Mrs. Chow looked at her, Alfred's grandfather looked at her gently too. Alfred seemed to apologize to her sincerely when kneeling in front of her. Did he know the truth already?
At the moment, Vanessa kept thinking. She was hesitant.
She admitted that she was soft-hearted. She wanted to give Alfred one more chance. She had love and hatred for Alfred.
She had the thought to give up on Alfred before because she was totally disappointed in him.
Nevertheless, Alfred gave her hope again. Vanessa did not dare to speak.
If she rejected, she was afraid that she would regret it afterwards. However, if she agreed, she was even afraid that she would regret it in the future.
Everyone looked at Vanessa when she kept silent, at last she spoke.
"Can you give me some time? I will consider it. Alfred, do you know how many incidents have occurred between us? I want to consider what do I really want. I have to think carefully."
Alfred showed an awkward expression. Mrs. Chow smiled and lifted Annie towards Vanessa.
"It is a good idea. Vanessa, my son has bullied you, you can't simply forgive him, right? You must think carefully and make a decision afterwards. Don't forgive a man easily, you should teach him a lesson!"
After saying that, Mrs. Chow looked at Alfred's grandfather again.
"Dad, let the young adults settle it by themselves. If Vanessa and Alfred are predestined, give them some time. Let them think carefully. As the elders, we should not force them."
His grandfather nodded.
"Alright, let them consider carefully."
After saying that, he looked at Vanessa.
"Vanessa, I show up in front of you suddenly, you must be frightened. Don't be afraid, we will not force you. Even if you don't want to be together with Alfred again, it is your choice. Don't worry, I will help you to investigate your identity and background. If I find up the person who looks similar to you, I will announce it to the mass and prove that you are innocent."
Vanessa expressed her appreciation to him. Then, he left with his security guards and secretary. Mrs. Chow put Annie down and followed him to leave.
There were only Alfred, Vanessa, Georgia and Annie staying in the condominium.
Georgia bent and lifted Annie. After that, she talked to Vanessa.
"Vanessa, I bring Annie to the bedroom. Both of you have a good talk. Call me if anything happens."
Vanessa nodded. Georgia lifted Annie and left.
She knew Vanessa for many years. Due to their longstanding friendship, she was clear that Vanessa was soft-hearted already.
Although she was discontented with Alfred, Georgia respected Vanessa's decision.
Not everyone was predestined in this world to be loved by someone they loved too. So, there were many cases of one-sided love.
Vanessa and Alfred were predestined. So, after so many years, they still loved each other but a misunderstanding existed between them.
If they wanted to be together with each other after the misunderstanding was solved, Georgia would wish them happiness.
In the living room, Alfred and Vanessa sat on the sofa. Vanessa stood up and poured a cup of tea for Alfred.
They kept silent for a while. Vanessa spoke suddenly.
"I think a lot recently. I think of our past and the future. Alfred, I know that I don't deserve your love. I have done hurtful things to you in the past. I have explained everything but I hurt you severely in the past, I can't do anything to compensate for you. However, I must explain again for the video."
"I am not involved in the video, everything that Georgia says is true. She meets a woman similar to me at the airport. I don't mind other things, I just hope you trust me on this issue even if we will not be together in the future. I am not lying, I am not involved in the videos that you watch."
Alfred's heart was cracking.
He did not want to be Mrs. Chow's son anymore but she begged him again and again.
On the way, Mrs. Chow even threatened him that if he told out the truth and everyone knew that he did not belong to the Chow family. She would harm Vanessa and he would not meet her again.
Alfred knew Mrs. Chow well, she would do whatever she wanted. She would really make Vanessa disappear from the world.
At the moment, Alfred hated whatever Vanessa did and even hated her to be together with other men.
But he knew that Mrs. Chow had the power to make Vanessa disappear, he compromised. He agreed to act as her son until she found her real son.
Alfred was clear that he really cared about Vanessa.
But he could not treat her like the past and become an intimate spouse. He found it hard to do so. It was the reason that made him sad.
He wanted to protect the woman but he could not trust her anymore. He did not know what should they do.
When looking at the woman, Alfred would think of the videos and his humiliating past.
"Vanessa, after considering for half a month, you just reject to get along with me in front of my grandfather. Don't care about my mother's and my grandpa's behaviour today. It is not suitable for us to get along again."
After saying that, Alfred stood up.
"Furthermore, ask Georgia to keep the secret of my identity. You keep it too. Or else, don't blame me for not reminding you."
After saying that, Alfred stood up and left the condominium.
Vanessa was realized when she saw the man's silhouette totally disappearing from her sight. In fact, her hesitance was so ridiculous. Alfred was just forced to apologize just now.
The man still could not get over the past happenings. He did not even want to listen to the truth. Vanessa lowered her head and cried.
She understood abruptly that their relationship was indeed over.
It was silent, Annie had fallen asleep. Georgia walked out of the bedroom softly. Then, she saw Vanessa sobbing in the living room.
"Does Alfred say something hurtful?"
Georgia asked gently.
Vanessa raised her head. Her crystal-clear tears fell down, she smiled instantly.
"Georgia, our relationship is over. Let's bring Annie abroad to settle down. I want to leave this grieved place and never come back again."
"I know it. No matter what decision you make, I will support you."
Georgia hugged Vanessa. No matter where they were, as long as they stayed together with Annie, nothing else could be an issue.
On that night, before Georgia slept, she found a message sent by Robert.
"Don't forget to pick me up at the airport tomorrow. It is late now, I don't want to call you that may disturb you from sleeping but you can't forget that."
Georgia laughed, Robert seemed to concern about the matter of whether she would pick him up at the airport.
The next morning, Georgia planned to undergo antenatal care in the hospital early in the morning. Robert's assistant called Georgia suddenly.
"Ms. Lane, the medical report that you ask me to do is out now. Do you want to take a look at it?"
Travis had been transferred to another hospital recently. Georgia visited him twice a day. His condition was good. The doctor also prescribed anti-inflammatory treatment for him.
After he was transferred, Travis did not go mad and revolt again. Georgia felt that her suspicion was accurate.
The nurse and the medicine on that day were problematic.
"I am busy today. Can you tell me the result of the report via the phone?"
