Hey, My Twins Babies novel Chapter 259

Although Rufus had never been to Winnie's house, he knew which floor they lived on.

When they reached Winnie's door, Rufus rang the doorbell.

Vanessa just left. Isobel thought it was she forgot something at home, so she opened the door directly.

"You..."

As she was to blame Vanessa, but found it was Rufus.

"What are you doing here?”

Isobel asked in surprise.

"I come to you. There's something I need to tell you."

Rufus said calmly with a serious face.

He was guilty to Isobel and wanted to compensate her as much as possible.

"We have finished out talk last time. Control your son, and I will control Winnie."

Isobel was about to close the door, but was stopped by Rufus.

"No, we have not finished. After all these years, we are all old, and I don't want it to be in your mind all the time."

"Let me in, to be seen by the neighbors is not good."

Rufus insisted. He got up enough courage to see Isobel and to have the opportunity to get along with her, he must say what he wanted to say.

Isobel had no choice but to let Rufus in.

Rufus came in and took a seat, while Isobel looked reluctant.

“What is it?”

Isobel said sternly.

The sight of Rufus reminded her of what happened many years ago and made her feel like a sinner. She suffered from this feeling for more than 20 years, and it hurt for more than 20 years.

"All right, I'll tell you. Isobel, before I say that, I still want to say sorry to you."

Rufus said in a dignified manner.

"You did nothing wrong, so you don't have to say sorry."

"Isobel, let me finish."

"I was wrong not to tell you I had a family, but I never meant to deceive you."

Rufus mentioned things happened more than 20 years ago, it was embarrassing, but he had to say it. All these mistakes were because of him, and it had nothing to do with Isobel and Brian's mother.

"When I was in charge of the Bennet Group, I had no right to choose my own marriage. Marrying Brian's mother was purely for commercial interests. I had no feelings for her, and she had no feelings for me.”

"To tell you the truth, I've been married all these years but I don't even know what love is. Since I met you, I understood love is happy, beautiful, so I was too selfish to give you up and I didn't tell you I had a family."

Rufus lowered his head. These words had hid in his heart for more than 20 years and been torturing him for more than 20 years. It was his selfishness made Isobel lose her favorite job, give up her favorite family and leave her hometown.

He made a woman's best years buried under the wrong love. He loved her but he could not protect her.

“I did hate you for not telling me the truth. But that was then. I don't hate you now. Now that it has been so many years, there is no need to mention it. I was wrong too, without me, your wife would not..."

Isobel did not want to continue the topic. Thinking that a young woman died because of their so-called love, she felt her grievance insignificant.

"No, I have to say it. My wife's death had nothing to do with you. It was my bad decision made you blame yourself for the rest of your life and made her in a painful marriage."

"Isobel, her death really had nothing to do with you. It was her own reason. Why can't I say it? After all, she's gone, and I should respect her even if I have no feelings for her.”

Rufus was sincere. It seemed that every sentence said did not have a bit of deception.

"It doesn't matter whose fault it is, we are all at this age, we had taken responsibility what we should take. Even if I had nothing to do with it, I was a mistress of your family and had caused harm to your children."

Isobel did not believe the death of Brian's mother had nothing to do with her. Until now she still clearly remembered two children cried sadly in front of her, still remembered their indignation in the eyes.

These images had been affecting her for more than 20 years. How could they not be the truth?

She didn't contradict Rufus's words. She just didn't want to make the conversation longer. She just wanted Rufus to say everything he wanted to say and never appear in front of her in the future.

She was old and had no energy to talk about things with Rufus happened more than 20 years ago. She just wanted to live quietly for the rest of her life.

"The children didn't know anything at the time so they put the blame on you. They were too young, and there were things I didn't tell them."

At this, Rufus stopped and then spoke again in a deeper voice.

"Speaking of these, I want to say sorry to you. It was my concealment made the children hate you hate so many years."

“I've kept the truth of their mother's death from them till now. I would rather have them hate me for the rest of my life than tell them. But it made you have to bear it for a lifetime."

"Isobel, I'm sorry that it was your misfortune to meet me."

“I know it's no use talking about it after all these years, but I hope you won't have any more burdens. Don't take all the responsibility on yourself. We don't have much time left. Live the rest of your life for yourself."

Rufus dare not have any expectation and dare not have any idea to Isobel. 20 years had passed, he still liked her, but he did not have the courage to disturb the life of Isobel again.

"I will. I can manage my life very well. You have said what you wanted to say, do don't come to me again. It wouldn't be good for everyone if your two children find out."

Isobel was guilty to Brian's mother for more than 20 years, it was not easy to let go.

It was very good to live so now. It was ok to be tormented and feel guilty. What Isobel worried about was revenge to her family after Brian knew the truth, then there were more painful people.
