"Oh my Sheng Mei, that is quite smart! I never thought of putting things in that order . It is really intelligent of your brother to have thought so far ahead while he was an invalid . " Nadius looked incredulous as he realized this .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt"He was dying . Conrad had to be sure that his future was secure . He had to think of everything . " Sheng Mei swirled the contents of her water with a cold expression .
Nadius looked at the text message with a irritable expression . "I doubt this would be a good idea to leave Henry without support . I should probably go back to the city to make sure he doesn"t make a bigger mess . " He said this with much reluctance . It was good weather in Rhode Island and it was a blissful oasis away from his obligations . It was such a waste to come all the way out here and then go back . His wife was not due to travel back to China for several weeks as she had decided to organize her affairs in the States for a while . To think his wife would be this close for a while was a delicious pull to stay where he was . It would be nice to reconnect for a while .
"They are newly weds . They are honeymooned together in a suite with all the trappings of romance . Why should we intrude or interfere?" Sheng Mei pushed his shoulder playfully . "You never know with the young ones . Why should the older folks go to bother them? Maybe their proximity could progress to a point where they decide they would rather try their relationship . Would that not be a good ending to a situation with a lot of loose ends?"
Nadius tapped his phone against the table as his grin dissolved . "Henry is no ordinary man . If he could be wooed with women close to him, our problem would have been solved years ago . Chou has tried . I have tried . He is not without his traumas . I am worried that how Henry used Ellie to achieve his own ends may have created a real rift that neither can deal with . "
Sheng Mei"s delicately drawn eyebrows rose up as she listened . "You really think a silly city boy like that has traumas? Do you remember the mechanic who told me he was going to be a billionaire when my father told me you would never amount to much . You worked to prove him wrong . Remember when you kidnapped me to the county court house when you decided that we had had enough waiting?"
"We were young! It was what the seventies? You know I have spent years teaching others about patience and investing in education . If Henry knew I had ever been so reckless, he would never take my advice seriously ever again . " He caught her hand in his and twined his fingers through . "You know but if your father had not been impressed with my skill I would have just taken you to elope in Tahiti or somewhere n.o.body knew us to raise you and our children in paradise . I don"t need these societal trappings to make it a proper relationship . "Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
