The meeting at the Wilson, Erwin, and Frederick's was not planned to be early. They waited until 7 pm to slowly leave the company, for several hours Andy Wilson kept texting Erwin. Of course, Erwin only replied lightly, in tears, he was indifferent, ignoring Andy Wilson's words.
It is also because of only sending messages that Andy Wilson did not know that Erwin was able to talk again. Although he was angry, he could not call and scold Erwin like the others. Andy Wilson sat in the living room, facing him were Egbert Smith and Hein Wilson. Today, even Clories Wilson begs the school to come back home. She and Ciara Wilson are in the kitchen, with the chef preparing dinner.
Again, after Mr. Forger's birthday, Egbert Smith and Hein Wilson became invisible. In his perception, Hein Wilson was always pure and kind. But the incident at the hospital showed him that Hein was not that person.
Egbert Smith did not want to believe, he always remembered the good moments with Hein Wilson. He always smiled, then said:
“Sorry, Egbert. I do not deserve you."
"Egbert, don't think like that, Erwin didn't mean to make me sad."
“Erwin must have some hard-to-say reason.”
…
Everything he said echoed in Egbert Smith's head. Egbert Smith's heart became even more contradictory. A part of his head screamed that Hein Wilson was the one he loved the most, he was the light in his heart. But the rest, it was constantly reminding him that he was being deceived by Hein's own fake appearance.
Egbert Smith's head hurt like it was cracking. Like when he heard Erwin's question at the birthday party,
“Do you really love Hein?”
His love for Hein Wilson was never questioned by anyone, except Erwin. Even Egbert Smith never doubted himself. Until that moment, the barrier in Egbert's heart was breached. Egbert Smith couldn't help but suspect, did he really love Hein?
“Egbert, what are you thinking?” Hein Wilson nervously leaned over to look at Egbert Smith.
He soon sensed Egbert Smith's anomaly, so he had to act soon. Hein Wilson became more proactive, contacted, and met, it was not until Egbert Smith's attitude returned to normal that he calmed down.
Currently, when Egbert Smith heard that Erwin was also coming to dinner today, he was constantly lost. Hein struggled to maintain a smile, but unfortunately, the uneasiness in his eyes sold him out. Hein expected Egbert Smith's answer, but Egbert didn't seem to have heard him.
Hein Wilson clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and asked in a low voice. This time, he successfully awakened Egbert Smith. But that didn't make Hein any less agreeable.
"Nothing." Egbert Smith calmly replied to Hein's words.
After a pause, Egbert asked, "Hein, why did you agree to marry me?"
Hein Wilson stiffened when asked, he forced a smile, and awkwardly replied: "Of course, it's because I like you, Egbert. Egbert, I've only ever liked you!"
Egbert Smith tilted his head and asked coldly, “Is that so? Yet I once heard that you wanted to marry Hall."
It wasn't wintered yet, but Hein felt his body cold, even his back was soaked with sweat. His home company has been struggling lately, Andy Wilson is not as good as he thinks. He couldn't lead the company, leaving a hole in the working capital.
This was a mission that he had to fulfill, not to let this prey slip away. In Hein Wilson's eyes, Egbert was the perfect prey, obedient, caring enough, and most importantly, Egbert truly loved him. Therefore, Hein Wilson couldn't let Egbert Smith run away.
"It's an evil rumor!" Hein Wilson thought for a moment and then hurriedly explained: “Indeed, I said that to my brother before. At that time, I just thought, my elder brother, is so pitiful. If I can replace him with commercial marriage, that would be great!"
As he spoke, Hein Wilson looked pitiful. His eyes immediately turned red, and even Egbert saw Hein's tears that were about to fall.
"Don't worry, I trust you!" Egbert Smith immediately cleared his doubts. He couldn't continue to doubt Hein. This was the true feeling in his heart. He loved Hein more than anyone. Now that Hein has accepted his marriage proposal, he should be happy!
"Mr. Wilson, Erwin has come!" The butler respectfully walked over to Andy Wilson and whispered in his ear. “Frederick Hall is coming too!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the main door opened, and Erwin and Frederick entered at the same time.
Andy Wilson didn't want to see Erwin's face, but Frederick couldn't help but respect him. Andy Wilson immediately stood up, smiled, and walked in front of Frederick Hall.
“Frederick, long time no see!” Andy looked over at Egbert hoping he could free her.
If it was another day Egbert Smith would definitely speak for his lover's father. But right now, he was still so confused, little details like this couldn't catch his eyes. Egbert Smith didn't even look at Andy Wilson once, his eyes focused on Erwin as if searching.
Frederick instinctively took a step forward, covering Erwin's body. Frederick's gaze met Egbert's as if to warn him to withdraw his sight.
Egbert sneered, the man turned, not avoiding Frederick, but also said: "Do I still need your permission to look at my ex-husband?"
Saying this, Egbert Smith stood up, straightening his wrinkle-free clothes. “Frederick, you should remember, Erwin was once my husband. And now, you can only be called Erwin's fiancé at most!"
After the provocation, Egbert Smith realized what he had just said. This was like a case of jealousy between an ex-husband and a new husband, while his fiancé, Hein Wilson, was still standing next to him. Egbert Smith was confused, but he didn't feel remorse when he said that last sentence.
Egbert Smith observed the expression on Erwin's face, unfortunately, he was covered by Frederick so he couldn't see anything. He didn't know it either, Hein Wilson standing behind him was already pale. Hatred spilled out of Hein Wilson's eyes, he couldn't wait to strangle Erwin in an instant.
Hein Wilson didn't understand why his father called Erwin home tonight. Especially when Erwin no longer has any useful value. It's just that Andy Wilson didn't explain anything to him. That made Hein even more confused.
Andy Wilson shyly wanted to separate the two of them, but he didn't dare. Both Frederick and Egbert Smith were in a much greater position than him. Andy Wilson glanced at the butler, he understood.
“Dinner is ready, everyone in for a meal!”
As soon as this word ended, the housekeeper quickly prepared the food. The level of the Wilson family's chef is also not average, Erwin enjoyed this dinner very much. At the dinner table, the Wilsons were still talking to each other, mostly Andy and Ciara Wilson asking about Egbert Smith, Frederick, and Erwin not participating in the conversation.
So, the Wilsons still didn't know that Erwin was able to talk again. Andy Wilson even thought that surgery didn't help. Anyway, Erwin had been mute for almost twenty years.
“Erwin, your mom, and me have decided on Hein's engagement date. You're the big brother, do you want to say something to Hein?" Andy Wilson took the initiative to ask Erwin, he should at least show on the surface that he really cares about him.
“Nothing to say at all!” Erwin put down his fork and knife and answered Andy Wilson directly.
And as soon as Erwin spoke, the whole table became extremely silent. Hein Wilson's eyes widened, looking incredulously at Erwin. No one expected this!
