Maureen looks at the gold-rimmed wedding invitation on the table and starts to have a headache again.
Ji Xiaohan and Tang Youyou are going to be engaged. Of course, she is happy and blessed for them. They have the courage to get married. They have the courage to delay the sweetness of love with marriage. It is very enviable. At least, she can't do it.
Maureen reaches out and touches her flat belly. There is no sign of pregnancy at all. Except for the vomiting that accompanies her from time to time, she feels that she is very normal.
"It's so annoying!" Maureen holds up the long hair on her forehead. She is so upset that she doesn't even have the mood to deal with her work. She feels that now is the worst time in her life.
"It turns out that there is a price to pay for enjoyment. I should be more cautious." Maureen grew up in Western countries when she was young, so in her view, it's not a big deal for a man and a woman to be together and have something happen. On the contrary, since she and Luo Hening are together, she feels that her life is complete. She enjoys every minute and second with him. However, after enjoying it, it brings about the trouble at the moment.
The phone next to her suddenly rings. Maureen glances at it and immediately covers her ears.
It's Luo Hening. She doesn't want to answer his call, at least not now.
She is afraid that he will talk about marriage and children as soon as he opens his mouth. She doesn't want to talk about these topics with him. She is afraid.
She would rather offend him and ignore him than talk about this topic.
Is she sick? Is she sick?
Just as Maureen covers her ears and pretends not to hear the phone ring, the office door is suddenly pushed open by a big hand. Luo Hening's handsome figure stands outside the door. When he sees Maureen, he finds that Maureen is covering her ears. This feeling is just like a basin of cold water poured over his head. It is more unsettling than a disaster.
Maureen covered her ears and naturally did not hear the sound of the door opening. Moreover, she closed her eyes tightly as if she was hiding in her own world.
When Luo Hening walked in front of her with heavy steps, Maureen felt that someone was coming. She slowly let go of her hand, raised her head, and met a pair of deep and hurt eyes.
"Uh … Why are you here?" Maureen's mind buzzed, and her mind went blank.
When he opened his mouth to ask, he realized that he had asked a useless question.
Her face, which rarely blushed, had an unnatural blush on it.
"Are you ok?" Lohnin's voice was low, with a touch of concern.
Maureen pulled her long hair until it was a little messy. She spread her hands and shrugged, then laughed dryly. "Look at me now. Do I look good?"
"Do you dislike children that much?" Luo Hening slowly propped his hands on her desk, leaned over slightly, and stared at her expression.
Maureen bit her lip and thought about it carefully: "I don't hate it. At least, I like my little niece very much. I think she is as lovely as an angel."
"Then why don't you want an angel yourself?" Luo Hening heard her words, inexplicably felt that there was still a lot of hope to persuade her.
Maureen raised her head and looked at him. Then she laughed at herself and said, "you didn't experience my childhood. You don't know what kind of shadow I have in my heart. I'm afraid of having children, not because I don't like them, but because I'm afraid."
"What happened to you in your childhood? I haven't asked you all the time. Can you tell me now? " Luo Hening changed his posture and sat directly on her desk. His voice was calm and gentle, which made people defenseless.
Maureen lowered her head and closed her eyes tightly. When she opened them, her eyes were stained with a little loss: "when I was very young, I was thrown abroad by my mother to live alone. I was not as lucky as my brother, because he was a son and I was a daughter. My mother didn't hide her preference for boys. She told me directly that she might leave me alone abroad to live with my grandmother and grandfather. She would take my brother back to China to live with my father. I didn't know what independence was at that time. I chased my parents' car far away. I thought they would come back to pick me up and leave together with me when I cried, but they didn't, and they still left."
Luo Hening heard her slowly say these words, her heart was in a ball, as if a clear picture gradually appeared in her mind, a little girl, chasing a car, knowing that she could not catch up, but still refusing to give up.
"I hated my parents for a while, but then I thought about it. If they didn't have their education, I wouldn't have become such an independent woman today. They wronged me and made me!"
"Don't you have a good time in your grandparents' house? Are you often bullied? "Luo Hening asked softly, very concerned about her.
Maureen raised her head and looked at him with a smile. Her smile was extremely beautiful: "no, I often bullied others. My grandparents are members of the royal family. You know that there are many rules in the royal family. I often broke the rules and was often scolded and punished, but I still broke the rules every day. My cousins are not like me, they have parents to look after and educate them. They are all well-educated and well-mannered. They never take the initiative to bully others, but I do, so I often get beaten. My grandparents often get sick because of me, and they don't take me to play on many important occasions. I became more and more bored and lonely. Especially once, when my grandmother held a birthday party, she was afraid that I would destroy it, so she locked me in a small house. I could only look out from the iron fence at the guests who came to the birthday party. You can't imagine how lonely I was at that time, but now that I think about it, I deserve it.
Luo Hening only felt that his heart was stirred, which was very painful.
He suddenly understood why Maureen was so afraid of marriage and children. Was she afraid that her children would repeat her childhood? Or, what she was afraid of was the shadow of her past.
"Maureen, if I could have known you earlier, I would have been with you!" Luo Hening went to her side, reached out, gently put her in his arms, and held her tightly.
Maureen is a very strong woman. She has never cried since she was a child. But at this moment, inexplicably, she feels that she also needs protection and is very fragile. She needs comfort.
