Say You Will Be Mine

After a long time, Rebecca said quietly, “No.”

Samuel was stunned. Rebecca held his hand and sincerely said, “Mommy has Aaron, but you have no one.”

The fear of Samuel was real then, and the love for Samuel was also real now.

In the past few years, she had watched him grow from a rookie father with a lot of trouble to what he was now. He tried to control his temper, tried to give the children a family, tried to bring her and her brother up by himself...

These were things which he might well have left to his servants, but he did them alone, not because he was merely trying to prove something, but because he was genuinely good to them.

Even Rebecca’s life was saved by him from Laney regardless of life risk.

Her younger brother always cried for her mother. Rebecca knew Samuel had a hard time these years.

There was no reason for her to abandon her father.

Sidney stopped crying and looked at her father and sister with swollen eyes.

He was only three and he just wanted his families together. He did not understand the entanglement and struggle behind.

Samuel moved lips. He was moved and pleased looking at Rebecca in the eyes. He held Rebecca’s hands and said, “Good girl, take your brother to mom and live there for a few days. I am sick recently and I have to see a doctor.”

“Daddy, I'll go with you to the doctor,” Said Rebecca.

Samuel refused, insisted on sending Rebecca to the United States. Aaron came out to pick up the children. Samuel said goodbye to the two children in the courtyard door. He did not even see Matilda.

After he returned to home, he made an appointment with a doctor to check and treat his mental condition.

He had a hard day, but he told nobody. Every day when he couldn't sleep, he would take out his phone. The screensaver on it was a selfie of Matilda with two children. He kept it subconsciously.

He tried to forget them, but he couldn't.
