As I was watching, Edwin also noticed the movement and turned his head slowly to look over.
He was looking in the direction of Dennis, looking over, Dennis's eyes were still cold and angry, father and son separated by life and death for more than twenty years, reunited in such a scene.
However, the moment Edwin's sight and Dennis collided, neither showed surprise, as if they had already known each other's existence.
Edwin even smiled and gently lifted the champagne in his hand to toast Dennis across the air.
This action undoubtedly angered Dennis, his face gloomy to the extreme, hanging at the side of the hand has long been unconsciously clenched fist.
This kind of scene, each person is about a party's economy is important, any riot will be security personnel as a terrorist arrest.
I know Dennis too well, watching the veins on his face bulge with anger, I did not hesitate to raise my feet and trot towards him.
"Don't."
Finally, the next second he lifted his foot, held his hard fist.
Dennis was like a raging lion king, staring at Edwin's direction for more than ten seconds, before he exhaled and calmed down.
He inclined his head and saw the anxiety on my face, a trace of heartache flashed under his eyes, and then looked at the direction of Edwin, finally he could not bear it and led me out through the side door.
In the back garden to find a bench unoccupied to sit down, Dennis only the whole deflated and relaxed.
"Now you know why I've been so perverse all this time." The tone was light, full of helplessness and loss.
Indeed, this kind of thing, to say out there can have a few people believe, if not seen with their own eyes, I would only think that Dennis because of missing his parents too much, so that the imagination.
Such a sudden and dramatic change, I have not yet reacted, for a time do not know what to say.
Dennis wasn't waiting for my reaction either, leaning against the bench behind him like a piece of wood and explaining himself.
"It was discovered by chance when investigating Simba, the person responsible for tracking Edward followed Simba, bought Simba's men and took private photos of the Yi residence, among which was a photo of that man playing golf with Simba, just a side face, but I recognized it at once."
"Humph ...... Hidden for so many years, but at this time revealed the horse, he really is getting older, the use of people are not good."
"Twenty years, it turns out I'm the joke ......"
Without logical self-reporting, self-deprecating tone, Dennis seems to treat himself as a clown, at this moment like a defeated and injured wolf dog, looking lonely and wretched.
I suddenly understood what he meant by "twenty years of collapsing faith".
At this moment, any comfort and enlightenment pale in comparison.
I, on the other hand, chose to let him lean into my arms, as I had the night before in my room in Newton Town, without saying a word, quietly waiting for the gloomy emotions to swear off.
Love is sometimes so magical that the other person, even if there is nothing they can do, can redeem you as long as they are around.
Smart people never stay in a whirlwind of emotions for too long, especially in areas they can't fully control. Dennis quickly adjusted his emotions, got up from my arms, and sat up straight.
"Let's get out of here first." Dennis made a split-second decision.
Just after the words were said, the gravel road extending to the banquet hall suddenly rang with the sound of regular footsteps.
We looked over at the same time and waited a few seconds for a young Chinese man to come into view.
I recognized him. He was the one who handed Simba the speech at the auction and was supposed to be Simba's assistant.
The location of the bench and his direction is a bit of a sight blind spot, but he seems to have already determined our orientation, walked straight over and handed over a business card.
The meaning of nearly half of life, because of his appearance, will be instantly denied, Dennis like a high-minded person, how to accept it.
He could not save himself, so he could only sleeplessly accept the inner torture day and night.
I was his wife, his most precious existence, and should have found out earlier and accompanied him to face his heart's demons, but it came so late.
"I'm fine," "I'm fine," "Trust me."
These shallow counter-arguments are actually the best reflection of his inability to overcome emotions, and I, accustomed to his omnipotence, will take it for granted that he can handle it, and really let go of it.
The impulse to cry will be suppressed, I organized my emotions, opened the car door and went down, hugged Dennis from behind, hands tightly circled him.
I clearly felt Dennis's body tremble, but did not push me away.
"You still have me." The voice was soft, afraid to irritate him, "No matter what happened in the past, I will always love you and always need you."
The cold wind from the neck into the clothes, I shivered with cold, Dennis was silent for a moment, dropped the cigarette in his hand, stamping it out on the ground, turned around and hugged me.
"You're the only thing I have left to live for."
Dennis's voice was low, but the hug was strong, as if he was afraid I would slip away, and he inhaled hard, as if this would give him the courage to face everything from me.
After a long time, until his hands were a bit frozen by the night wind, Dennis finally calmed down and helped me sit back in the car.
Because it was not clear what Edwin was planning, Dennis chose to send me back to the hotel first for fear that disappearing with me at the same time would cause big trouble.
On the way, he elaborated as much as he could on the entanglement with Edwin during this time.
