Chapter 385 The Evening of the Perea Sisters
It was late at night, the streets were quiet, and from time to time one or two drunkards staggered past the car window. Hina sat in the back seat, no longer crying, but her eyes were still red, as if tears would come out if touched.
"Thank you so much, Maggie," Xina said embarrassedly after calming down a little, looking at Maggie's shoulders and back that gave her a sense of security, "It's all my fault for not thinking everything through. In the end, not only did it not work, but it also made you worry about me."
She couldn't help but think that she was such a loser.
"It's okay, no need to apologize." Because there were not many people on the road, and he was confident that there was no traffic police to bother him, Maggie stepped on the accelerator harder, but spoke in his usual gentle manner, "I feel your concern for me, Hina, and that makes me feel much better."
As he spoke, the silver letter in his pocket vibrated twice silently. Perhaps the message he had just sent had received a reply. Maggie glanced at Sheena through the front mirror and started a new topic, "You go to college nearby, right? I heard from Leah that it's L-town University College, a very good university. You are really excellent, Sheena."
"This is the school I put in my final year of study. I was pleasantly surprised when I got the application," Xina said shyly, "I was just a little luckier."
"You don't have to be modest about your hard-earned excellence," Maggie estimated the distance and slowly slowed down to turn a corner. "I'm so sorry. You had Tolia invite me to your opening ceremony, right? At that time, I really didn't have the mood to do anything else. I missed this very important moment for you. Now I think about it, it's really a pity."
"Of course your matter is the top priority, Maggie," Xina said earnestly with eyes wide open, "and I have recorded it with a camera, Maggie can look at my past at any time."
After she finished speaking, Xina felt that there was something wrong with what she said. Although the meaning was to follow Maggie's words to reduce his regrets, it sounded like she was taking advantage of the situation and shifting the topic to herself regardless of the situation. This was too selfish.
"Oh..." Xina pursed her lips, and a look of distress appeared on her beautiful face.
"Then I'll accept your invitation in advance," Maggie said considerately, not letting the atmosphere get any more awkward. He sighed slightly, as if with emotion, "That's great, Hina. College has made you more energetic."
"Maggie, what school do you go to?" asked Sheena. She subconsciously believed that such a considerate and generous man would also be excellent in academics.
"University, I could go, but I can't go," Maggie's voice became lower, and the sinking tone also opened the prelude to the confession, "It's not accidental that I became Leah's friend, and the necessity that gave me many things also deprived me of some possibilities."
Hina's breathing slowed down, and the blue eyes that looked at Maggie flickered as they slowly opened and closed. Surprise and heartache alternated in those moving eyes, and an inadvertent sense of joy also surfaced.
This kind of confession was completely different from the first one with the woman who looked like her. This confession was only related to Maggie personally, and the scars that the young man had been hiding were revealed to her.
"So, you must seize the starting point of your infinite possibilities, Hina." Maggie, who could completely guess Hina's thoughts, used a gentle and lonely tone to make her more immersed in that 'self-righteousness'. "Don't stop for me again, it will only make me sad for you and your future."
Xina listened, and the vague emotions that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time broke out. She couldn't help shouting out, wanting to express her acceptance and fearlessness of everything, "Maggie——"
"We're here," Maggie used a little magic to intercept his expected emotions at the 'right' moment. With the 'click' sound of the car door unlocking, he turned his head and smiled gently at Sheena, with complex emotions in his eyes that could not be ignored, "Let's go back and see Beretta."
Under the surging tide of emotions, Xina's face flushed. She felt Maggie's gaze full of hidden sadness and held back the words that were about to come out, but love had already broken out of the ground, and the man's restraint and brokenness made love take root and sprout.
The blue followed the darkness, and Hina whispered goodbye. She watched Maggie's car go away reluctantly before turning and walking into the house.
All the lights in the house were off. Sister Maxine had gone to bed, and Beretta should have been coaxed to sleep in her little room. Xina fanned her hot face, slowly walked upstairs, returned to her room and lay down on the bed.
The soft fabric touched her tender skin, and the scent of home made her feel at ease. Hina lay on it and took a long breath, trying to ease the waves in her heart.
He is excellent, considerate, restrained, and always thinks about her. It is really heart-warming.
But it's so weird and selfish to feel love when others are sad and distressed.
I must help Maggie through the current difficulties first.
With this thought in mind, she gradually fell asleep, and at the same time, the perfect man she thought appeared in her sister Beretta's room next door.
Maggie, who easily gained love and trust, stood in the softly decorated room. Behind her was Alian, who was called by his silver letter. He walked to Beretta's crib and gently rocked the little girl who was sleeping soundly.
"Wake up, wake up, Beretta, wake up, come and play a game with your brother." His voice was still gentle, but it only made Aryan behind him feel a chill on his back.
"Hmm..." Beretta half-opened her eyes in a daze, and in front of her was the overlapping and illusory gentle brother. She pulled the corners of her mouth, looking well-behaved, and murmured, thinking that she was still dreaming, "Hello, brother..."
"Be good." Maggie said in a low voice. He picked up the half-asleep Beretta and walked step by step towards the window with a child guardrail, with a smile on his face.
Aryan followed behind him, watching the small platform dug out in front of the window surge and turn into stairs, the guardrails obediently bending and moving away to both sides. Maggie stepped onto the steps, and he gently shook Beretta again, making the dazed girl's eyes open a little wider.
Then, without warning, the girl was thrown between the removed guardrails.
Aryan's eyes widened, not caring about her stiff and cold body, she rushed over, even pushing away the frightening Maggie, and leaned through the window to see the girl's condition.
The worst bloody scene that had been expected did not occur. The girl was floating in the air, her face was pale, and she had fainted. Her little chest was still heaving rapidly in fear.
"Yes, there is indeed a wizard's seed." Maggie's calm voice exploded like thunder.
"But what if she didn't?!" Aryan turned her head and growled in a low voice, her conscience overriding everything at this moment.
"Do you think this is a question you should seek an answer to?" Maggie smiled, and he said sarcastically, "I don't need to remind you that you are still branded as someone who can lay hands on babies."
The mark on her left arm, which had only hurt once, began to burn. The newcomer to Vanity Fair, who had gained her first wave of fame by saying "I was a child, and I will be a mother," stared blankly at it, and finally realized that this would be a pain that would accompany her for the rest of her life.
"Record this girl's abnormal magic riot. The abnormal reason is of course negative emotions. This is also the first abnormal magic riot tonight and she should be recorded. Change the overage to negative emotions," Maggie gave his order. He laughed again. "Then, use your empathy freely and help me clean up the mess, Arlian."
