That night, Wisk stood on the slide in the playground downstairs in the apartment, staring up at the dark window all night. By the time the sun rose the next morning, he had not closed his eyes for two days and two nights, and had eaten too much.
His body collapsed to the point that he was in a trance, but he still rationally arranged for his secretary to buy the apartment downstairs in Kedoori at a sky-high price, then calmly found a place to eat something casually, took a short nap to recover his spirits .
Three days later, when Kedoori opened the door and saw the man, he was surprised for a while, and then he heard him say: "Today I moved downstairs to your house, and we will be neighbors from now on. Kedoori, Please take care of me in the future.”
There was a moment of silence, then Kodori smiled and said, "Okay, please take care of me in the future, Mr. Elder."
In the end what is called care
Wesker Elder took the word seriously.
Opening the door every morning, Ketoli sees a breakfast full of paper bags, plus a fresh rose; every night when he comes back from the orchestra, he sees all kinds of snacks, And a rose. On the weekends, there will be other small gifts and thoughtful note reminders to remind him to pay attention to the recent cooling and so on.
This kind of method seems to be to deceive the innocent little girl, which makes Kodori really can't help laughing. He has never touched these things, and when the owner of these things finds out that he has not moved them, he will take them all away without hesitation and replace them with a new batch.
It wasn't until Kodori couldn't bear to go downstairs and knocked on Wesk's door, and the matter came to an end temporarily.
However, the care cannot be continued all the time. About ten days later, Wesker had to go back to London because of company matters. Although some things can be solved with online video, there will always be some troubles without Weske Elder sitting in the back.
Before leaving, Wesker knocked on the door of Kodori's house, but no one opened the door for him.
After waiting in silence for an hour, when he found that the owner of the house still had no sign of returning, he sent a text message, and then pulled the suitcase to the airport and flew to London.
The next year was almost like this.
Whenever he has time, Wesker will come to Berlin and be a caring and good neighbor. Compared with him, Kodori is more like a normal neighbor, who will not do anything out of the ordinary, always polite, polite and distant.
Karen naturally also discovered Wesker's anomaly. After all, he went to Berlin at least once a week, which is really abnormal! So Karen sneaked to Berlin to see if something happened, and she was very relieved when she found out that her brother was "cold" by the man.
Although she couldn't agree with her brother in person, she also believed that Kedori had completely come out of that relationship.
Although some people are very emotional and have a mild temper, when they are really determined to let go, they will never be sloppy or disconnected. They are really cutting everything off and starting from scratch.
In a way, Karen even felt that if she really liked someone, she might not be able to control her feelings so calmly and "let go when she says let it go". Like her, I'm afraid Wesk can't do that either.
However, Kodori really did it.
It also silently hinted at how much damage that man had done to his younger brother to make such a gentle and kind person abandon everything, be completely disheartened and never look back.
In the eighth year of Wesker and Karen's engagement, and one year after Kodori cut off their relationship with Wesker, what neither Wesker nor Karen thought was that they were only one because "this person is a good fit" The contracted marriage I decided to start turned out to have brought them immeasurably rich profits.
In the Elder group, Wesker's status was consolidated and stabilized day by day. Even in the Elder family, he gradually competed for power from his father and grandfather, and became a secret Elder. The head of the German family.
For Karen, this engagement had a bigger impact on her. The 32-year-old financial genius has a prominent position on Wall Street and has grown in popularity. Many people have called her from "Wesker Elder's fiancee" to "Karen Slaughter".
And these are inseparable from this marriage contract.
On the one hand, this combination of powerful marriages made everyone in the Elder family shut up, unable to say a word; on the other hand, this combination of golden boys and girls made many people have expectations , very optimistic about their future.
This is like a giant ship traveling between glaciers and oceans. As the ship becomes more and more luxurious and rich, they harvest more and more things, but this makes them more careful and need to avoid those ubiquitous glacier.
The best way is to get married, once and for all, without any risk of capsizing, this is also the idea of Weske Elder and Karen Slaughter, who have only known each other for a week. Even Karen thought about it at the time, Wesker seemed impotent, even if she didn't have a married life after marriage, she didn't care, and it was okay to be a test tube baby.
However, up to now, neither of them has any intention of getting married.
Wesker didn't expect to meet the person he loves the most in his life. He knew that if he really got married, I'm afraid it would be impossible between him and Kedori. Karen, on the other hand, was worried about her younger brother's mood. Although Donek Dory seemed to be very indifferent to Wesker this year, but... Maybe in his heart, he still loved Wesker.
Thinking like this, Karen finally couldn't help revealing her words in front of Keto one day. It was at a family dinner that Kodori finally came home for. The family of four ate warmly. Karen pretended to be casual and asked, "By the way, parents, Wesker's family hopes that he will be fast. Let's get married, we have discussed this matter for a few days but we haven't paid much attention to it, what do you think of this matter?"
Although it was the Slaughter couple who asked, Karen's eyes peeked at Kedori, who was on the side.
After the Slaughters finished speaking, Karen hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "Kedori, what do you think of this?"
I saw the handsome and elegant man gently put down the spoon in his hand and said with a smile, "I think it's fine, Karen. If you really want to marry Mr. Elder, I will definitely support you. But this is for a lifetime. Choose, you have to think carefully, of course, I will always stand behind you and support you."
After a paragraph, there was no mention of Wesker at all, as if it was really just a younger brother who sincerely wished his sister happiness.
Karen quietly observed Kedoori for a few more times. After finding that her brother was really normal, she turned around and told Wesker the next day: "...So, I think, you can completely give up my brother. . What you have done in the past few years is of no use, Kodori really gave up on you, he doesn't love you anymore."
"He doesn't love you anymore. 』
This sentence made Visk, who was reading the document in the first place, froze, and the pen in his hand "slapped" into the paper. He looked up at the beautiful lady in front of him with a cold face, and said coldly, "Karen Slaughter, please go out."
Karen was slightly startled: "What?!"
"You get me out!!!"
Seeing this normally calm man suddenly getting angry, Karen was stunned for a moment, then turned and left with a sneer. But when she left the office completely, she saw the handsome blond man "bang" and punched the thick mahogany desk.
"boom-"
"boom-"
"boom-"
The man's movements didn't stop until his fingers hit the blood and the skin was broken. He smashed the thick table board down and down, until the sturdy mahogany cracked a small gap, and Wesker finally clenched his teeth and retracted his hand.
At this moment, the bones of his hands were already dripping with blood and mottled.
Weske Elder has learned from a young age, don't show your vulnerable side in front of anyone. No one in this world can believe, except for himself, except for the rights in his hands, so during this year, every time he saw Kedori, no matter how painful his heart was, he still maintained an indifferent and calm look .
It's not that I don't feel impulsive and grief, but that I hide all these things under a calm exterior.
The only time he has gotten out of control since he was an adult seems to be the night he was "abandoned" by Kedoori. He couldn't help asking if the other party was going to leave him, and finally got a cold response from his lover.
Wesker has never blamed Kodori, because he also knows that even now, he has not thought about what to do if he really wants to break off the engagement.
Once this engagement is dissolved, an account must be given to the Elder family. If you want to inherit the Elder family, you must at least give birth to a family heir. The Elder family will not accept a family owner with a same-sex lover. This family has been entrenched in the UK for hundreds of years, and it is not something that the current Wesker can shake. .
Suppose you break off the engagement with Karen and find a new fiancée, then nothing changes at all.
On one side is the desire to firmly control the Elder family, and on the other side is the lover who has been in love with him for several years, but has yet to cut it cleanly.
Blood flowed down his fingers, and after gritting his teeth and thinking for a while, Wesker made a decisive decision, got up and left his office, and found Kedori who had not returned to London.
"I can break the engagement." This is what Wesker said, but then he continued: "But Kodori, the head of the Elder family must have a wife, a wife who can bear him an heir. ."
The handsome man took a sip of his coffee and said with a smile, "Mr. Elder, is this the urgent matter that you came out to find me for today, must you tell me personally?"
The light-hearted look of the other party made Wesque's body froze. After a while, he continued: "Yes, this is what I want to tell you. Kodori, I can break off the engagement with Karen, but... I also Want the Elder family."
Speaking of which, Wesker didn't say any more, but Kodori sighed and put down the coffee in his hand. He quietly looked at the man in front of him with a kind of tolerant and gentle eyes, then hooked his lips and chuckled: "Wesker, please treat your wife well, she married you, you must shoulder the responsibility of being a husband. Responsibility. Whether or not you will be my brother-in-law in the future, but... I hope you will treat your wife well."
Wesker was slightly stunned: "You don't call me Mr. Elder?"
Kodori smiled and shook his head: "We've known each other for so long, and it's too outlandish to call you Mr. Elder deliberately. Wesk, I know that you want the Elder family not just because of yours. Desire, it has become an obsession."
There was a surprised look in Wesker's eyes, but he was still very calm on the surface.
I just listened to Kodori continued: "You have been neglected by your family since you were a child, and you need to work hard to gain benefits. This habit of seeking power and seeking profits has become your instinct and cannot be abandoned from your bones. You want to become The head of the Elder family, you want everyone to see your strength, and you also want your mother to sleep in peace."
In the seven years they've been in love, the two of them have learned too much about each other. The more he understood how hard this man was to survive, the more he loved and cherished. You can't imagine how a six-year-old child survived in the hands of a ruthless biological father and calculating stepmother, and gradually reached this position.
This man is too lonely. He has been alone for more than 20 years, and finally he is about to grab the final fruit.
Kedori said with a smile: "Wesker, I love you, and I have admitted that I love you in the past year or so, but I also understand that we can't be together. Madam of the Elder family, It's definitely not me, and I can't give birth to an heir for you. If that's the case, then let's just be an ordinary friend, okay? It's too late now, I think... becoming friends is the best outcome for us."
Wesk held the coffee cup tightly, and after a moment of silence, he raised his icy blue eyes and asked calmly, "We really can't be together anymore?"
Kodori smiled and asked, "Will you give up the Elder family and your business?"
The answer to Kodori was the dead silence as always.
When Visk's assistant came to pick him up at the door of the cafe, Kodori said with a light smile that he wanted to sit for a while, then Visk nodded and walked out of the door of the cafe calmly.
When Wesker got into the back seat of the car, assistant David turned his head and asked, "Sir, are we going back to the company?" But before David finished speaking, he froze when he saw Weske's expression. Son stopped.
Weske Elder was crying silently, and his tears kept flowing down the corners of his eyes. The tears couldn't stop flowing down, and the man slowly turned from the calm at the beginning to the frantic grief.
David turned his head in shock, pretending he didn't see anything. But he couldn't help looking through the rear-view mirror quietly at this distinguished gentleman who was so sad that he couldn't help himself.
Weske Elder hid in the car, and he no longer had the composure in the cafe. Anyway, he was as fragile as broken glass, and it had become shards. He couldn't hold back the tears that flowed automatically because his heart was torn apart. .
In the cafe, the moment Wesk disappeared behind the gate, Kedori, who was watching him leave, suddenly froze his smile, and his face turned pale.
In the box of the cafe, only Ketoli was left. He slammed the door shut tightly, and then cried out uncontrollably. His body slumped down weakly, and finally he slumped directly by the door, letting tears roll down his face.
One was crying silently in the car, the other was wailing wanton in the box.
They don't need to hide that deep and painful feeling anymore, because from this moment they all know—
Between them, there is no possibility.
