A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 914 You Can Leave Now!

"My little fool, I think we'd better ask Fred to search in Country F first and then tell the Xu family the news," said Zac.

"Why?" Essie was confused.

Because of what happened to Vinton, the Xu family had been immersed in the shadow of sadness. Mrs. Vicki had been lying on the bed and in poor health. If they were told that Vinton might still be alive, everyone would have hope and the haze would dissipate.

"Think about it. What will happen if Eva knows that Vinton might still be alive? Would she break up with Jim and wait for Vinton? What if she waited for another bad news? What if Vinton was not saved at all, but washed away by the waves. Will she be able to get back with Jim then?" said Zac.

"What if brother is really alive and saved?" Essie frowned.

She felt that from the bottom of her heart, he was in favor of Jim. After all, he had been her best friend since childhood, and the relationship between the two was as close as brotherhood.

"You did it for Jim, didn't you?" she asked straightforwardly.

Zac knew she would say that, "At that time, we had already seen that Jim had fallen in love with Eva, but we all chose to be silent. Because at that time, she and Vinton had stabilized. But now, Jim is going to marry Eva. If we told them now, what's the difference to break up a couple?" said Zac seriously.

"Jim is not a gentle man at all. The reason why he is so slow now is that he cherishes Eva and respects Vinton. But this doesn't mean that he can let Eva trample on his feelings over and over again."

"What about my brother? Should he suffer the pain of losing Eva? If Eva marries Jim and my brother comes back, how should he face it? He loves Eva so much. How can he bear the pain of losing Eva?"

Essie felt terrible. For her, Vinton was more intimate than Jim. After all, he was her brother by blood.

At that time, the reason why she encouraged Eva to be with Jim was that she thought Vinton must be in danger. She didn't want Eva to miss an excellent marriage partner like Jim.

But now that Vinton was still alive, the balance in her heart began to change.

"As long as we are sure that Vinton is still alive, we can immediately announce the news. But if you want to inform the Xu family and Eva now, I won't stop you. As for the consequences, you should bear them yourself," Zac said seriously.

Hearing that, Essie's face turned a little pale. If Vinton was still killed in the end and Eva fell out with Jim, she would be alone all her life, wouldn't she?

"I'd better go to Eva first to sound out her thought," she said in a low voice.

The second day, she saw that Eva happened to be at home, so she went there.

"Why didn't you go to the set today? Is Jim shooting a solo?" she asked in a teasing tone.

"Scum Jim is making a fuss. I'm having my period. He didn't allow me to act in the movie and asked them to shoot the scene of the supporting role first." Eva frowned and looked very dissatisfied, but the slight smile at the corners of her mouth revealed her secret. She enjoyed the love and care of Jim very much.

Noticing that, Essie asked, "Eva, can I ask you something?"

"What's the matter?" said Eva.

"What will you do if my brother is still alive and comes back one day?" asked Essie cautiously.

"Essie, have you found Vinton?" Eva's eyes lit up and jumped up excitedly from the sofa.

"No, I just made an example and asked casually. There is no news over there," Essie pulled her back and said in a casual tone.

"Okay." All of a sudden, Eva's eyes darkened. "How I wish Vinton is still alive! How I wish he could come back as soon as possible!"

"You and Jim are going to get married. If he really comes back, what's your choice?" Essie asked straightforwardly.

"I..." Eva lowered her head. To be honest, she had accepted the fact that Vinton was dead recently and had never thought about it.

"Will you come back to my brother or continue to be with Jim?" asked Essie.

Eva bit her lower lip, showing an extremely contradictory and embarrassed expression on his face. After a long time, she sighed heavily, as if she had been weakened by this contradiction.

Looking at her, Essie could tell that she had feelings for Jim. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so embarrassed.

"I don't want Vinton to be sad, and I don't want to hurt scum Jim either. If I have to face this choice, I will just be a nun." She lay down on the sofa and covered her head with a pillow.

"You are escaping. I think you should think about whether you love my brother more or Jim more." Essie took away her pillow and didn't allow her to escape.

After a long silence, Eva said in a low voice, "Since the scum Jim can forget Janice, fall in love with me, he should be able to forget me, and then fall in love with others. He is so excellent. Even without me, he will definitely live a good life."

"So, will you still choose my brother to give up Jim?" asked Essie.

Eva was slightly stunned. She knew that Essie misunderstood her. She hadn't decided yet. She didn't know what to choose, so she didn't know the answer.

She said that because she was a little afraid of losing. Jim was so great. He always made her afraid that she was just dreaming. She was afraid that in his heart, she was not that important, but dispensable.

She was afraid that one day he would be tired of her, think that she was too ordinary, too stupid, and regret marrying her.

But she didn't explain. She kept silent.

She didn't know that Jim came back at this time and heard their conversation at the door.

Eva's silence made him feel as if he had been kicked into the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, cold from inside to outside.

When he opened the door, his face was as cold as ice.

"Jim, why are you back so soon?" asked Essie.

Jim put the plastic bag on the table. Instead of going to the film set, he went to buy brown sugar and ginger for this stupid woman, and was about to come back to boil brown sugar and ginger water for her.

He didn't expect to come back at the right time and heard all her 'true feelings'.

Looking at the things on the table, Essie stood up with a smile and said, "I'm leaving now." She couldn't disturb the two of them.

After she left, Eva was about to go upstairs to see her son, but was stopped by Jim.

"Eva, are you sure you want to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with me to register for marriage in a month?"

Eva's heart skipped a beat. She didn't understand what he meant. "Do you regret it?"

"I'm asking whether you will regret it or not." Jim looked very serious.

"Me? I won't." Eva shook his head. She had made up her mind that she would let go of Vinton and herself after the funeral and start a new life with Jim.

Vinton wanted her to live well. She couldn't let him down, but she wouldn't forget him. She would arrange a corner in her heart to store all the memories of him and them, so that he would live in her heart forever.

Jim's brown eyes blinked slightly and felt warm. "If Vinton is still alive and if he comes back, will you regret?"

"I..." Eva lowered his eyes. If they were married when Vinton came back, it only meant that it was God's arrangement. She and Vinton were not meant to be together. But if it was before this...

This question was the same as that of Essie. She hadn't decided yet and couldn't answer him.

Jim hated her damn silence. He always felt that she acquiesced in it.

"If Vinton comes back, you will give up on me and come back to him, won't you?" He clenched his teeth and the muscles at the corners of his mouth tightened.

Eva trembled violently, "Scum, I..." Her face was a little pale. Her brain cells were not enough. After being forced by him, her brain went blank.

When she didn't say anything, Jim became angrier. A fire of loss swept over his heart, burning all his hopes, leaving only the despairing scorching field.

He grabbed her shoulder and said, "Don't worry that I can't stand it. Who am I? I'm Jim Jing. I won't change my face even if there is a huge mountain pressing on me!"

He was almost roaring, and his eyebrows twisted into a furious line. His chest was heaving heavily, and his hot breath fell on her face like fire, making her burning and painful.

"Scum Jim, please don't be angry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Eva said in succession, at a loss. She didn't know what to say or what she had done wrong. Since he was angry, she would apologize.

Jim thought that she was apologizing for her choice of Vinton and giving up him, which made him more angry. He couldn't help clenching his ten fingers.

"Eva, have you never loved me?" His face was full of shock, injury and pain.

"I..." Eva was out of breath. How could she think about this question? Moreover, she had never figured out what true love was.

"Not at all?" Jim's voice was hoarse, as if he had been hurt by pain.

"Scum Jim, Jell has woken up. I want to go upstairs to see him." Eva was afraid of his expression at the moment, like an injured lion, which could swallow her alive at any time. The only thing she could think of was to run away, and she would talk about it when he calmed down.

Jim saw through her intention and laughed, which was full of sadness, desolation and despair. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"You can leave now, Eva. Go back to your wedding room with Vinton and continue to guard him. I don't need you here."

Eva shook violently as if she had been hit by a blow.

Did scum Jim mean to drive her away?
