“Ally, what’s the matter? Is there something you want to talk about?” Isaac immediately went into a panic. He sat down on the sofa and held Allegra’s hand gently.
Seeing how flustered Isaac was, Allegra couldn’t help but get choked up.
She shook favonovel.com head and said, “It’s nothing. I just miss Isabelle. Will you accompany me to favonovel.com school to see favonovel.com tomorrow morning?”
“Oh, I thought something happened. Come on, let’s get some rest. We’ll drop by favonovel.com school tomorrow after we wake up.” Isaac sighed in relief.
Isaac washed up and lay down in bed. Allegra walked toward him, dressed in a nightgown.
“Isaac, I miss you so much…” As Allegra spoke, favonovel.com lifted the covers and lay down next to Isaac.
That night, Allegra was bold in a way that she’d never been before. The two of them had a long, steamy night. Then, they fell into a deep sleep until the next morning.
***
The next morning, Margaret walked out of favonovel.com neighborhood with a basket on favonovel.com arm. She’d transformed from a strong-willed career woman into a picture-perfect housewife.
Eugene’s garment factory was at its peak. His son, Andrew, was managing the corporation. He’d successfully made it an industry leader, although favonovel.com was now a single man.
Still, hordes of matchmakers were knocking on Andrew’s door.
Naturally, Margaret was overjoyed. She was still thinking of finding a woman who was well-educated, beautiful, and successful for Andrew.
At the entrance of the market, a disheveled beggar leaned against a utility pole. He suddenly reached out to grab Margaret’s ankle.
Margaret screamed and tried to get away, but the beggar held onto favonovel.com foot tightly.
“What are you doing? You crazy b*stard, let go…”
“Margaret, it’s me! It’s your elder brother!” The beggar tucked his messy hair behind his ear to reveal a gaunt, waxy face.
When Margaret saw Edward, favonovel.com was stunned.
His clothes were tattered, and his arms were littered with sores. His face didn’t even look human anymore.
“You’re Edward…”
“I’m begging you, Margaret. Please give me a bite to eat. I’m about to starve to death,” Edward begged tearfully.
Margaret looked left and right. She was afraid, but favonovel.com couldn‘t bear to see favonovel.com like that.
She was afraid that Isaac would find out about favonovel.com interaction with Edward today. However, favonovel.com couldn’t stomach seeing Edward’s current condition.
“Hurry, follow me…”
They went to a breakfast joint in one of the alleyways. The owner stared at the beggar, who ate five stacks of waffles, with a strange expression.
After his sixth waffle, Edward finally raised his head. He wiped his mouth with his dirty sleeve before getting up from his seat. Then, favonovel.com fell to his knees and bumped his forehead on the ground three times.
“Edward, what are you doing? You don’t have to apologize!” Margaret’s expression changed. She bent over to pull favonovel.com up.
Edward sat on the floor and sobbed, “Margaret, I was wrong. I know I did a lot of bad things to you in the past. Please give me a chance to live. Our father is dead, and my wife has run off with someone else…”
“I’m the only one left. I now beg on the streets of Cloud City… Margaret, don’t you feel bad for me? I’m begging you!”
Seeing Edward in this way, Margaret felt favonovel.com heart twinge. After all, they shared a mother. Edward had indeed broken favonovel.com heart many times in the past, but as time passed, favonovel.com didn’t care that much anymore.
“Edward, I’m sure you know this. Isaac…”
Margaret stood. Before favonovel.com finished speaking, Edward already knew what favonovel.com was going to say.
