Chapter 495

Bei Anni couldn't bear to refuse Mark.

His posture is now very low.

And, maybe, maybe, maybe, he won't come back, bullets don't have eyes, in case...

As if knowing what Beanie was worried about, Mark said: "Hehe, don't worry, I'm very lucky. I will definitely come back to find you."

"Okay, I hope you come back well too."

Mark took out a box with exquisite patterns from his bag and handed it to Beanne: "Christmas is still a few days away. I originally wanted to give it to you at that time, but now it's too late, so I have to give it to you in advance." .”

"What is it?"

"open to take a look."

Beanie opened the box carefully, and the two villains played out, and then there was tinkling music and remembered which famous piano piece it was.

A villain is spinning and dancing to the music, and the other is taking pictures of her with a camera.

"Look, does it look like it?"

It was only then that Beanie noticed that one of the two little people was herself, and the other was Mark. God, it was so lifelike.

"I specially customized it, do you like it?"

Beanie nodded.

"Thank you Mark, this is the best Christmas present I've ever received. However, I didn't prepare a present for you."

"It's okay, you can see me off when I come back. Now, Annie, can you give me a hug?"

Beanie stood up and hugged Mark, "Take care."

"Bless me, Anne."

Mark let go, waved to Beanne, turned around and strode away.

In the days that followed, Beanie occasionally thought of Mark and prayed for him.

She wished Mark a safe return.

This has nothing to do with love, it is purely a blessing among friends.

Since she had known Tred before and thought Tred would be a suitable husband, she would not think otherwise of Mark.

Tred was ten years older than her, mature and stable, with a melancholy temperament like a poet. He actually wrote poems for Beanne, and it was completely impossible to see that he was a businessman.

He operates stocks, futures, and some family businesses that Beanie doesn't know about.

He said that if it wasn't for inheriting the family business, what he wanted most was to be a wandering poet and write the most beautiful poems for his lover.

Beanie thinks he is a responsible person and a practical person, which is in line with Beanie's idea of ​​having a stable family.It should be very happy to live with such a person.

A few months later, when Mark came back from the Bay Area to find Beanne, Beanne was happy for Mark as well as herself.

Mark's safe return made her feel less guilty about rejecting Mark.

"Sorry, Mark, I can't promise you..."

Mark: "I thought there would be a surprise when we meet again after a few months apart, but it looks like I'm going to be disappointed."

Beanie: "I'm sorry...Mark."

Mark: "Not to say I'm sorry, but to say that I didn't try hard enough. I hope there is still a chance..."

Beanne: "I already have a fiancé."

In order to make Mark give up, Beanie told him this.

Anyway, after she rejected Mark, she was ready to accept Tred's marriage proposal, which is not a lie.

Mark seemed to be completely disappointed. It took him a long time to smile and say, "Then bless you."

Afterwards, Beanie didn't see Mark again for a long time, and heard from colleagues that Mark seemed to be sent to a certain country.

Later, Beanie gradually forgot about Mark, and concentrated on managing her relationship and small family with Tred.Only when I saw that music box occasionally, I would think of this enthusiastic and cheerful young man.

I saw Mark again a few years later in the San Francisco courtroom, Beanne and Tred's divorce case.

The two failed to agree to a divorce and eventually went to court.The incident made a lot of noise and even made it into the newspapers.

The divorce case eventually awarded custody of Manna to Tread.

All the current evidence is against Beanne, and it is reasonable for the judge to award Manna to Tred.

Watching a large group of people leave with the triumphant Tred, and Beanie is only accompanied by her mother.

Lawyer: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Beanne, I've tried my best. But it's not hopeless. If you have a stable job income or start a new family, I can still fight for Manna's custody for you."

"Thank you, lawyer, I will find you if I need it."

Then Beanie saw Mark unexpectedly.He was sitting in the gallery.

He came over to Beanie.

I haven't seen him for a few years. Mark is darker and thinner than before, but he looks much more mature.

"Annie, are you... all right?"

Beanne: "Fortunately, the sky hasn't fallen yet."

"Let's go, before the sky falls, give me a chance to have a drink with you."

The two sat at the bar.

Beanne: "Mark, why are you here? You didn't come here to see my jokes..."

Mark: "I happened to be on a business trip in San Francisco and saw the news in the newspaper, so...Annie, how could I see your jokes, are we still friends?"

Mark didn't say that he came back from abroad for vacation and came to San Francisco to see Beanne, but he didn't expect to meet her divorce.

"Mark, I feel like a failure."

"Annie, you just met someone unkind, forget the past and start a new life."

Beanne: "But what about Manna? I can't leave Manna alone, he will kill Manna."

"Annie, what do you mean by that? Mr. Tread won't harm his daughter, will he?"

"Hmph, you don't know him, even I don't know him, he can even call me a mental illness, Mark, you don't know that I was almost sent to a mental hospital. He doesn't care about my wife. So, let alone Manna."

Mark: "That's a matter between you adults, what does it have to do with children?"

"You don't know that Tred doesn't like children, and now he suddenly wants to fight for the custody of Manna, I always feel that he has no good intentions?"

After getting married, Beanie came to live in the strange San Francisco, where she didn't have many friends, and Tred's business partners had few contacts, and Tread would not introduce Beanne to them.He always said that there is no need to mix too many outsiders between us.At that time, Beanne was quite touched, and felt that Tread was always thinking of her, because she also felt that these social engagements were troublesome.

And her mother and two younger brothers were in faraway New York, and Beanie had no one to confide in.

Now that I reunited with Mark after a long absence, I immediately expressed some thoughts buried in my heart.

So she told Mark about the conflict between her and Tred about having a baby, and then went back to New York to raise a baby with her mother. She was ready to be a single mother, but Tred came to pick her up again. , said that she would have children, and when she returned to San Francisco with Tred, ready to start all over again, what awaited her was the conclusion of a mentally ill patient and divorce, and then lost custody of her daughter.

Mark: "It seems that this Tred is deliberately planning."

"That's why I said I didn't know what he would do to Manna. As a mother, I couldn't protect my child. I really failed."

"Don't think so, maybe the situation isn't that bad. After all, Manna is his own daughter."

"No, Mark, I can't risk it, I can't keep Manna with him for a moment, I've seen it through, Tred is a monster, you know? Tred had a wife before I married , but then committed suicide..."

Mark was a little surprised, "Who did you listen to?"

"Hehe, everyone in San Francisco knows it, only me, an outsider, is kept in the dark.

I also heard from the old servant at home later.I quarreled with Tred about having children, and Tred left the house angrily. The old servant came to persuade me that Mr. Tread didn't like children and told me not to take the risk of challenging his authority.Otherwise, if the child cannot be kept, I will also suffer. The former wife is an example.That's when I learned that Tred had been married before.And the wife committed suicide.Of course, being married is not a big problem, the main thing is that I want children too much, I am willing to take risks, and I am confident that I can change Tred's attitude...

Turns out I was wrong.

It was really naive back then. "
