It was Karen who first noticed the change in Kodori.
After thinking about it for a long time that day, Karen was determined to tell Kodori the whole truth of the matter, telling him that the man had never thought of breaking the marriage contract, and also confessed to him that she had been hiding the other party for the past two years, and decided not to break the marriage contract for the sake of profit. fact.
However, when Karen came to Kodori's apartment, she shouted several times, and finally found her unconscious brother in the bedroom.
"Kedori!!!!"
The flushed face, the sweat on the forehead, and the whole person kept babbling like a demon.
Looking at her brother's appearance, Karen was terrified. She hurriedly tested Kedori's temperature. When she found out that Kedori had a high fever of 39.8°, she immediately turned over the box to find medicine, and gave him an ice pack. Put on Kedori.
Kedoori was in a coma for a whole day and night, and the temperature did not drop to normal until the next evening. When Kodori woke up, Karen was already tired and fell asleep by the bed, while Kodori smiled and reached out to touch his sister's soft hair.
Karen immediately woke up vigilantly, and she was completely relieved when she found that her brother was awake, and then scolded: "Why don't you take medicine quickly after burning so badly?! Are you taking good care of yourself in Berlin! You How did you treat your own body? Kodori, how can you be careless when you live alone? I have something to call a friend in Berlin, you know!"
Although it was a rebuke, the words were full of concern.
And Kodori nodded obediently, then smiled hoarsely and said, "Well, I see..."
Karen glared at Kedoori angrily, then got up and went to warm up a glass of hot milk first. After she hesitated for a long time when she watched her brother drink milk with his head down, Karen asked hesitantly, "Kedori, what do you think... How about Wesk?"
Kedori put down the milk glass in his hand, and asked with a faint smile, "Are you talking about Mr. Elder?" The tone was polite and distant, without any intimacy, as if he was really just talking about an unfamiliar stranger. That's it.
Karen herself knew her brother very well. Seeing Kedori's appearance, she was shocked, and even what she was about to say choked in her throat. After a long time, she asked tentatively, "What do you call him... what?"
Kedori smiled lightly, and said as a matter of course: "Mr. Elder. Karen, although Mr. Elder is your fiancé, after all, you are not officially married yet, and it is not easy for me to call his brother-in-law directly, it is better to be more polite. it is good."
This sentence made Karen completely horrified. She tried Kedori several times. When Kedori smiled helplessly and said, "Mr. Elder is a very capable person", she was really relieved. Get up with a milk glass.
Just as Karen walked to the door, Kodori's voice suddenly sounded behind her: "Sister."
These words made Karen stop for a while, and turned her head to look at her brother in surprise. At home, they usually call each other's names directly and affectionately, and Karen has never heard him call "sister" again after Kodori went to the Munich Conservatory. But now, he solemnly shouted out.
I saw the man lying on the bed with a sickly pale face and said with a faint smile: "Sister Karen, if I make a very, very serious mistake, even if this mistake may hurt you, what should I do... to get your forgiveness?"
Her eyes suddenly became hot. At this time, Karen naturally understood what Ketoli was referring to, but she also knew that Ketoli didn't know that she knew it, and after knowing the truth, she didn't blame Kedo at all. I mean, I feel guilty because of my selfishness.
With red eyes, Karen said with a smile: "Kedori, do you remember when I was ten years old, I used to play in my mother's kitchen and accidentally came across a cup of hot water, and I saw that water was about to come to me. Turn your face upside down?"
Kodori was slightly taken aback.
Karen closed her eyes, then smiled: "I will never forget that look in my life. At the age of nine, you were scalded to the point of bleeding from the back, and you were still asking me if there was anything wrong. From that moment on, I have It's decided that in my life, Karen Slaughter, whatever Kodori Slaughter does, I will forgive him."
Kedori squeezed the quilt tightly, and after a long time, he smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't think about this kind of thing anymore."
Karen also winked easily before walking out of the bedroom with a milk glass. But the moment she closed the bedroom door, tears could no longer be squeezed out of her eyes.
—How could I blame you, Kodori
Her younger brother has been sensitive and gentle since childhood and has done countless things for her. He used his weak body to stand in front of other children, and said seriously, "Don't bully my sister."
However, what did she give back to her brother in the end
For the sake of profit, she ruthlessly trampled and jabbed in Kedori's heart, even for two years!
As she had said to Wesker Elder two years ago, if her brother did cross the line, there must be some kind of resolute determination. He will atone for her, even in a tragic way.
Weske Elder, you really have to be thankful that her brother didn't do anything irreparable, otherwise, even if her Karen Slaughter took this life, you will have to pay it back!
After touching her tears, Karen was strong again. She went to pour another cup of hot water, returned to the bedroom with a normal expression, and continued to talk and laugh with her brother.
...at last, everything is fine now.
I don't know why Kodori seems to shy away from Wesker, but it's all too good.
Karen looked at Kodori's gentle smile, and the heavy stone in her heart was really put down.
Yes, everything is going in a better direction, that cold-blooded animal is not worthy of her gentle and kind brother!
Not worthy, her most beloved Kedori.
-----
Although Karen has already developed some kind of disgust towards Wesker in her heart, she also knows that under the current situation, their engagement can bring the greatest benefits to both parties.
The identity of "Elder's fiancee" can bring Karen the olive branch of many financial tycoons, and the identity of "beautiful financier's fiancé" also allows Wesker to deal with the battles within the family very well, and has even been almost in upper hand.
When Karen left Berlin, she didn't tell her brother what she had prepared in the future tense. She could feel that although she didn't know what happened, Kodori had already forgotten about the scumbag, and even when she tentatively mentioned it, she didn't have much reaction.
So with this relaxed state of mind, Karen returned to London, and even after a week, she didn't find anything unusual about Wesker.
After dinner with her parents at home, Karen escorts Visk off the block. Sitting in the car, she frowned and asked, "Have nothing happened to you recently?"
Wesker looked at her calmly: "Is something wrong?"
Karen paused in her throat, shaking her head and pulling away from the topic.
In fact, it took 10 days for Wesker to notice anything abnormal.
Wesker has always been busy with his work. Recently, the branch in the United States has had some troubles that he needs to deal with. Therefore, he only made two or three calls to Kedori in the past ten days. Surprised, but didn't think much of it.
But after ten days, when the fourth call still could not be connected, Wesk finally felt something abnormal. He texts, no response; calls, can't get through. When he was about to find Kedori on the social network, he found that he had been blocked by the other party!
What does it mean
Weske promptly sent his assistant to Berlin to see what had happened to Kedoori. However, when his assistant returned, he replied calmly: "Mr. Elder, there is nothing unusual about Mr. Slaughter, I brought your words to him this morning, and he welcomes you to Berlin at any time. Play."
The pen in his hand was pressed firmly on the thick mahogany tabletop with a "slap--", and the expensive and thin tip of the pen slammed into this section, and the ink also penetrated into the paper.
The assistant was frightened by Wesker's gloomy face, and then left the office in fear in the latter's lowered voice.
... Why is Mr. Elder suddenly angry? ! He didn't seem to have said anything just now.
In the evening of the same day, Wesker bought a ticket to fly directly to Berlin, and just got off the plane and went straight to Kedori's apartment, but when he entered the password, he was surprised to find that the password had been changed!
After pondering for a while, Wesker started knocking on the door, but what surprised him even more was that it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and Kodori was not at home!
Although this time is not too late, Wesk knows that Kedori is a family lover, and he rarely goes out to have fun if there is no necessary thing.
After thinking for a while, Wesk called Karen directly, and after the latter said angrily, "What are you doing so late?", Wesk asked calmly: "Kedori seems to have changed the combination lock, you know. What's the new password?"
Karen, who was in a drowsy state, suddenly woke up, and she was keenly aware: "You went to Berlin?!"
"Well, I'm at Kedori's door now."
"What are you doing there!!!"
"Kedori blocked my phone and blocked all social accounts. I'll see what happened."
There was silence on the phone for a long time, and then Karen sneered and said, "Mr. Wesker Elder, you are just my fiancé in name only, there is no need for my brother and you to communicate deeply, and He probably doesn't like you very much, so he blocked you all."
Karen's sarcastic words made Visk frown, ignoring the other party's sarcasm, Visk asked again, "How much is the combination lock?"
"Tell you? Stop dreaming! Leave Berlin early and stop harassing my brother!"
As soon as the voice fell, Karen hung up the phone. When Wesk called again, he found that the other party had been turned off, which made him black face.
He has never received such a cold reception anywhere, and even if Wesker's character is calm and calm, and his emotions are not shown, he can't help but feel a little angry. He pursed his lips and stood directly against the wall beside the door, intending to simply wait for the owner of the room to come back.
But this time, Wesker did not expect that he had to wait for two hours!
When the bell in the nearby park hummed 12 times, Wesk finally heard a "ding-" sound from the elevator entrance. He quickly raised his head, and when he saw the familiar figure of his lover, he asked, "So what? It's late, why did you come back?"
Kodori was also surprised to see him, and then said with a smile: "I heard Karen say you were here, and thought you had already gone back so late. Bai Ai held a celebration tonight, so I just Staying a little late, have you come to see me for something, Mr Elder?"
"You know I'm waiting for you here, but still..." The voice stopped abruptly, an unbelievable light flashed in the man's icy blue eyes, and he was stunned for a long time with his mouth half open before Wesker asked: " What did you just... call me?"
I saw Kodori indifferently raised his lips and smiled: "Mr. Wesker Elder, I really thought you had left first, so I didn't come back immediately, causing you to wait here for a long time in vain. I don't know why you are looking for me in the middle of the night? After all, you are only my sister's fiancé, and my relationship with you is not close enough to call me by name, so... "
"Can I call you Mr. Elder?"
