Edward Schmidt didn't dare to see Evan Bell. He could only hide himself in the darkness of the night, lest a little light would reveal his vulnerability. "I know that Kate has her own life now, and Dibbos is a good fit for her, at least better than me, and we've been on different paths, and it's not interesting to keep clinging to the past. So, I I would like to wish Kate happiness, and I will not let her know that William has come back. Maybe it is most appropriate to let William be buried in the memory.

"

Edward Schmidt's voice was a little choked, and he could hear the pain and struggle in his heart. Whether it's William Bell or Edward Schmidt, he really loved Katherine Bell, there's no doubt about it. And now, he chooses to be Edward Schmidt, not William Bell, because he knows that even if William Bell reappears, there are too few things that can be changed, except to make Katherine Bell's life. Aside from the mess, he'll also keep Teddy and Evan further and further away from him.

Edward Schmidt knew that he couldn't stay in the past forever and let regret and resentment haunt him all the time. He wanted to let life go on, instead of clinging to "the past". So William Bell will never come back, he will live on as Edward Schmidt. However, even if I know this is the right decision, the pain and struggle in my heart are still unforgettable. Maybe time can heal the wound, but at least not yet.

Looking at Edward Schmidt's fragile back, the softness in Evan Bell's heart was gently touched. He was willing to believe that what Edward Schmidt said was true, because Edward Schmidt disappeared for two years. After time had worn away the traces of William Bell's existence, Edward Schmidt appeared again.

Edward Schmidt was not wrong, and Katherine Bell was not wrong. The only mistake was that they were both too young at the time. It is said that love must be perfect at the right time, at the right place, and with the right person. Edward Schmidt and Katherine Bell met when everything was right. The only regret is that the time seems to be different. The most appropriate, after waiting for the years to settle, there may be different fortunes between the two people. But there is no if in the world, so the two have come to the present.

Sighing lightly, Evan Bell sat down beside Edward Schmidt. He hesitated, wondering if he should pat Edward Schmidt on the shoulder to comfort him, but in the end he didn't raise his hand.

Even so, when Edward Schmidt saw that Evan Bell was willing to sit beside him, he couldn't help but get excited. It was an improvement, a huge improvement, but when Edward Schmidt made eye contact with excitement When he reached Evan Bell's eyes, he couldn't help but panic a little, lest he would make all this come to nothing if he was too eager.

Edward Schmidt knew that in Evan's life, he had never existed, and even he didn't agree with Evan's coming into this world, if he suddenly came out now and said, "I want Fulfilling the duties of a father" is absurd to anyone. So, Edward Schmidt doesn't want to rush, he doesn't want to ruin everything now.

Taking a deep breath, Edward Schmidt took out three beautifully packaged blue boxes from his pocket and handed them to Evan Bell, "Today is your birthday, this is a small gift." Edward - Schmidt's right hand trembled slightly, and his eyes looked at Evan Bell with hope, and that earnestness revealed the turmoil in his heart at the moment.

Evan Bell looked up at Edward Schmidt, and suddenly realized that maybe Edward Schmidt had been back in New York for a long time. He wandered around Princes Street every day, trying to find a suitable one. The opportunity came forward, but it never made it. The same is true tonight. Knowing that everyone is celebrating Evan Bell's birthday on the 11th today, he came here early, but he never dared to show his face. When the party was over, there was no time left until midnight. How long did it take for him to summon the courage to appear.

This is not humility, but embarrassment. After abandoning the past, facing the unease of the unknown future, Edward Schmidt was so hopeful that he could take the first step, but he was worried that he might never be able to take this step, which made him worry about gains and losses and was at a loss as to what to do. .

Evan Bell did not speak for a long time, which made Edward Schmidt even more disturbed, and quickly explained, "Here are three gifts, I remember Teddy is thirty years old this year, and Eden, I know he is you Best friend, Katherine is also very nice to him..."

Looking at Edward Schmidt like this, it was a far cry from the unrestrained, unrestrained and dashing man he remembered. Evan Bell stretched out his hand to take the gift and smiled, "Well, Eden is ours now. A member of the family, he is the same age as Teddy, and his birthday was yesterday." Edward Schmidt watched Evan Bell take the gift and couldn't help but sighed in relief, but heard Evan Bell then say, "Do you mind if I open it now?"

"Oh, no, of course not." Edward Schmidt let out a smile, even looking forward to it.

Unpacking the gift box, this is a royal blue velvet square box with a delicate brooch in it, in the shape of an Arabic numeral "11" inlaid with broken diamonds. The appearance is obviously made according to the official logo of Eleven Studio. At a glance, you know that it was specially customized by Edward Schmidt.

The smile at the corner of Evan Bell's mouth bloomed, "I like it very much." This suddenly brought the brilliance back to Edward Schmidt's face, and he saw Edward Schmidt in a trance for two years between those brilliant smiles. The splendid appearance before. "Edward, what do you want?" Although Evan Bell accepted the gift, it did not mean that he would be soft-hearted. Compared with Edward Schmidt, he was always on Katherine Bell's side. This is impossible to change.

Edward Schmidt's smile stiffened a bit, but this time he didn't get caught up in nervousness, but smiled relievedly, "I didn't have time to participate in your past, I didn't even know what you looked like when you were born. But... ..." Speaking of which, Edward Schmidt paused. He had seen in the media that Evan was suspected of having a brain problem when he was a child, but Catherine shouldered the heavy responsibility of two children by herself. Did not give up. The hardships of those years are terrible just to imagine, "but I hope to have a place in your future. I, I will forget the past, and I will not expect to change anything, just hope to appear in your life, Stop acting like a stranger."

Edward Schmidt looked at Evan Bell wistfully, he knew he was asking too much, but he said it anyway, he could be Edward Schmidt, just hope it didn't seem irrelevant people standing in the distance.

"You know I won't call you... father." Evan Bell said with some difficulty, the word "father" was really too far away from him, so that he didn't know how to say it.

"Of course, of course." Edward Schmidt nodded again and again, as if Evan Bell would regret it a little later, "William is gone, I'm Edward, we... we can be friends, friends."

Evan Bell didn't answer immediately. He was silent for a while. He wanted to say something, but found that he didn't know what to say. In the end, he just raised the gift in his hand, "Thank you." This is him The best answer, at least he didn't object. After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards No. 12 Princes Street, but stopped at the door and looked back at Edward Schmidt, who was standing in the shadows looking at him. He hesitated, Finally, he said, "Good night, Ed.

"

Edward Schmidt's tense shoulders finally relaxed, with the happiest smile on the corner of his mouth, "Good night, Evan."

Standing in place, Edward Schmidt knew that the first step was finally taken~www.readwn.com~ This is also a crucial step. Not sure what the future holds, but at least life is back on track, and that's fortunate. After watching Evan Bell's figure disappear completely, Edward Schmidt turned and left. This time, his back straightened again, returning to the confident and calm demeanor he had two years ago. The midnight wind, no matter how strong, could not affect Edward Schmidt's firm and brisk pace.

Back in the yard, Evan Bell immediately saw Teddy Bell and Eden Hudson who were guarding the door. They were obviously worried about Evan Bell, who had not returned. They were ready to come out to meet him, but did not want to. But he heard an unexpected conversation at the door, and then stopped at the door.

Evan Bell looked back at the door, there was no figure of Edward Schmidt, then turned to look at the two people, "How much did you hear?"

"The second half." It was Eden Hudson who spoke, while Teddy Bell still looked at Evan Bell with questioning eyes.

Evan Bell nodded, "Go in and talk inside." Then he walked through the middle of the two and walked into the house first, with Teddy Bell and Eden Hudson still standing there He paused for a while, looking at the empty doorway, as if Edward Schmidt would suddenly appear in the next second, but unfortunately not, the two turned around and followed Evan Bell's footsteps and entered the first floor hall.
