She clenched his fists weakly, choked his voice, and shouted in a low voice, "Why? Why? I don't want you to pity me, I don't need your sympathy, Hudson, if you don't love me, don't be like this, I don't need your compassion, I don’t have the face to meet people anymore..."
She had tolerated grievance and helplessness for so long, the fear and anxiety, anticipation and loneliness, all emotions were intertwined. She couldn't continue the load and vented all of it at this moment.
The screams faded, Winnie bit her lip and bowed her head silently.
She couldn't help and her eyes were red, tears trickled down from her eyes, dripping down her cheeks, soaking the clothes on his chest.
When Hudson saw her, he felt her body trembling and felt her helplessness and confusion. He held her tightly into his arms. At this time, he could only remain silent.
"Let's go home!" In the end, he only said, and then took her back.
Winnie's crying gradually became lower and lighter, but she still kept choking. She felt like she was going to collapse from all the crying. Why was this happening?
Her hand dropped. Just being hugged by him, she felt a touch of warmth in her cold body at this moment.
At the house of the Perry family.
Elijah's deep eyes flashed a few times when he heard Hudson’s message from the servant. "Grandpa, don't worry, nothing will happen!"
"He said nothing would happen, so nothing will happen?" How could Tim trust Hudson? "Since Winnie met Hudson she has not had a happy day! Do you believe Hudson so much? Winnie is your sister, pick her up right away!"
"Hudson is a man!" Elijah said solemnly, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes. "This is something I didn't expect! Maybe, things may have turned around, Grandpa you don't have to worry too much!"
"Which shameless person sent the video?"
"Christ!" Elijah revealed three words.
"What..."
"Because he wants the land in J City, and he wants to connect the Perry family and the Ball family through marriage, so he used despicable methods, but the result was achieved! Hudson has to be responsible even if he doesn't want to be!"
"Damn it! I'm going to see him!"
"Grandpa, it's better not to interfere, I think Hudson will give us an explanation!" Elijah's eyes flashed with a touch of calculation and unpredictability.
At this moment, Elijah received another call from Esther. "Elijah, what did you do? Why did the videos of Hudson and Winnie go online? What did you do? You are like a mafia boss every day. I didn't expect your efficiency to be so low, people framed us, what will happen to Winnie?"
Elijah sighed. "So in your eyes, I am so useless!"
"If you were useful why would you make your own family suffer this insult. Who on earth did it? If I find out, I will kill him!" Esther yelled angrily on the other side of the phone. "Which pervert is so shameless!"
"Just focus on your study, and don't care about adults' affairs!" Elijah said, "I gotta go, hanging up now!"
"Oh! Okay, huh? Why did he come?" Esther was about to hang up when she looked up, she saw Christ standing there beside the car not far away.
"Who?" Elijah asked.
"My father!" Esther said, "Okay, bye!"
Esther didn't expect Christ to come to school, but when she saw him, she walked over. "Are you alright?"
She still couldn't get used to calling him "Dad". In her heart, she was a bit repulsive for not knowing what happened.
"Esther, I am here to see you!" Christ smiled very kindly, "How have you been recent? Why didn't you come back to see me?"
"I'm fine, I'm having a great time now. Don't worry if you are so busy. You have seen me now. You can go back!" Esther said with a polite smile.
"You haven't eaten yet right?" Christ was in no hurry.
"Not yet!" Esther was muttering in her heart why he was still not leaving when suddenly a low voice came.
"Esther..."
Esther was stunned, turned her head, and found that it was Philip, she hadn't seen him for a while. "Huh? Why did you show up in our school again?"
Philip looked at her with complicated eyes, his fists clenched on his sides, as if restraining something, but still smiling, he walked over gracefully and then turned to Christ. The situation changed in a moment. He turned to Esther again, and said with a faint smile, "Do you have time to have lunch with me?"
"Okay!" Esther was anxious to flee from Christ, waved her hand, and said to Christ, "I'm going to have lunch with my friend!"
And Christ was startled, "Esther, who is this?"
"Oh! He is my friend, we are familiar, well, goodbye!" Esther wanted to leave hurriedly.
Philip didn't rush to walk away but stopped. His eyes met with Christ. Within a split of a second, Christ felt that the man was handsome, but his eyes were so complicated that he couldn't tell what it was. And there was an unspeakable familiarity as if he had seen him somewhere, but he was sure that he had never seen this young man.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, Philip nodded slightly and left with Esther.
Christ looked at their backs, squinted his eyes, his face gradually sank, but he still asked, "Esther, go home early, don't let them worry!"
"Got it!" Esther continued walking without looking back.
When the two arrived at the gate of the school, Esther said to Philip, "I suddenly remember that there is something I need to take care of. I can't eat with you. You'll have to eat alone, sorry!"

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
