The God's Boy

Chapter 13

Being able to meet again, although I said this yesterday, did not stop me from being pleasantly surprised once again.It also never occurred to me that when we met again you had become someone else's wife, and I must be sorry for everything back then, Daisy. "Gatsby's eyes were so gentle that Daisy almost drowned in them. The feeling of being pampered brought her back to five years ago.

"No, please don't say that, Jay, you're not wrong, we just, just missed each other, it's so good for me to see you again." Daisy leaned forward slightly to get close to Gatsby, she His voice was trembling with excitement, very subtle, but Gatsby could hear it.

Gatsby got up and walked to Daisy, then took Daisy's hand, and the two walked to a balcony where they could clearly see the coast and the dock.

"I like this place very much, not only because of this beautiful house." Gatsby looked into the distance and said softly, Daisy turned slightly to look at Gatsby's side face, she wanted to say something but was blocked Tsby stopped, "I'm really nervous, because I'm ashamed to admit to you what I've done, and I don't want to disturb your current life, but I can't stop myself, Daisy."

Daisy didn't speak. She looked into Gatsby's eyes and seemed to have guessed something. She put her palm on the back of Gatsby's hand, not knowing whether to stop or encourage Gatsby to continue talking.

Gatsby felt the warmth from the back of his hand, which reminded him vaguely of Nick comforting him like this before.Daisy's hands were soft and delicate, while Nick's hands were neither rough nor delicate, but a little more slender than ordinary men's hands.The former brings Gatsby a deadly gentle temptation, while the latter can give Gatsby an inexplicable sense of security, as if he is the only boat on the vast sea.

"Everything I do is for you, this manor, and so many parties, just for you, Daisy." Gatsby lowered his head to avoid Daisy's eyes, was silent for a while, and finally admitted, "I've always felt guilty for leaving, but I also know that if I chose to come back, you and I would not have any chance. Tom Buchanan is the best choice for you."

"Jay..." Daisy seemed to be moved by Gatsby, she called Gatsby's name with a choked voice, the deep affection in it was unbearable to ignore, Daisy suddenly broke into Gatsby's arms Here, she was sobbing softly on Gatsby's shoulder, which caught Gatsby a little off guard.

Gatsby wanted to say something comforting, but he saw Nick standing not far away with a camera in his hand. For some reason, Gatsby subconsciously wanted to separate himself from Daisy, especially when Nick quietly left again. when.

Daisy quickly calmed down. She looked at the stain on Gatsby's coat apologetically. Gatsby shook his head to indicate that it was okay. Daisy wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and began to complain to Gatsby.

"I shouldn't have said it, but I have no one to talk to. Seeing you, I know you will always be by my side, Jay, right?" Daisy's red eyes made Gatsby feel a little Distressed, he nodded in response.

"Tom betrayed me, I really don't know what to do, everyone knows there is a woman, there is a woman he raised outside." Daisy complained softly, becoming more and more agitated, "God knows what happened to them When did we get together, even Tom didn't show up when I gave birth, and he didn't show up until later."

Gatsby didn't speak, but just patted Daisy comfortingly. He knew that this was not something he could intervene in, and he really wanted to know what Daisy would say next.

"Take me away, Jay, I can't stand this place, this home full of betrayal and lies." Daisy grabbed Gatsby's arm with both hands, and her pleading tone made it impossible for anyone to refuse, including Gates. Compare.

"Okay, I'll take you away."

the end of the dream

"But you have to answer me, Daisy." Gatsby held Daisy's cheeks, his eyes focused and deep, "Are you willing to divorce Tom? Give up everything you have now, and leave with me, to someone who A place that doesn’t even know us, start over?”

Daisy was stunned, the smile on her mouth hadn't disappeared yet, but her eyes had reflected surprise, she had to admit that she hadn't thought about divorcing Tom at all, now that Gatsby brought it up, she was caught off guard .

"Divorce? Oh no, Jay, I can't do this... Pammy, Pammy, she needs Tom." Daisy subconsciously denied it, and even lied to avoid the question.

Gatsby's eyes began to cast sadness. Although he knew that Daisy would never agree, when he really heard Daisy's answer, Gatsby still felt a kind of regret and loss.In fact, Gatsby realized very early on that he was never Daisy's choice. Even if he thought he had everything to save Daisy, Daisy would only see him as a temporary support, and Tom is her only destination, although Daisy may not really love Tom.

Gatsby never forgot Daisy sobbing and whispering inside him in his previous life. It was precisely because of Daisy's fragility that Gatsby approached the green light desperately, even though he later realized that Daisy had never given him the slightest promise , He didn't regret it either.

Gatsby looked at Daisy, who was still beautiful in front of him, and finally lowered his eyelids. When he opened them again, the infatuation and love in his eyes had disappeared. He let go of Daisy's face, and finally let go Let go of the crazy love that has been entangled with me for so many years.

"Daisy, I don't know how to evaluate the matter between you and Tom. I do love you, but you must also understand something." Gatsby gently kissed Daisy on the cheek, and his soft voice contained Endless sadness, "You resent Tom for betraying you, and you resent the woman who made Tom betray you, and what you are doing now is not becoming Tom, and why am I not becoming that woman?"

"Daisy, I don't think I can keep my promise anymore. At least until you look into your heart, all I can do is make you happier." Gatsby saw Nick standing in the distance, and saw that Seeing that the other party was a little anxious, Gatsby waved to him, took a step back and let Daisy go, then took the other party's hand and walked towards Nick.

Daisy didn't understand what Gatsby meant, she thought it was just because of her vacillating choices that Gatsby regretted it, but she couldn't choose to leave Tom completely, even if he already had another woman, Daisy still couldn't completely give up on herself With everything she enjoys now, she allows Gatsby to be a choice only because of the other party's affection and the possibility of maintaining her current life.

Gatsby no longer knows the Daisy in front of him, but why not Daisy?In Daisy's eyes, Jay is a handsome military officer, a perfect lover who makes her indulge in fantasies about love, but not the young and rich businessman who is now doing illegal activities, but she never asked Gatsby , how he became what he is now, and Gatsby never wondered why Daisy smells like money.

In fact, Gatsby, like Daisy, is just a person who indulges in the good memories of the past. The difference is that Daisy wakes up after being addicted for a while, while Gatsby is addicted all his life.

"Are you all right?" Nick asked Gatsby worriedly, he couldn't ignore the delicate atmosphere between the two.

"Of course, dear Nick, we are fine, what are you worried about?" Daisy answered, there was no trace of crying on her face, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth again, as if she had just been with you The conversation between Gatsby was really just a simple greeting, and it was this excellent cover-up that made Gatsby and Nick feel a bit of chill at the same time.

"Sorry, I kept you waiting for too long." Gatsby broke the silence between the three of them, and inadvertently let go of Daisy's hand, which caused Daisy's expression to appear in a trance for a moment, But Nick didn't notice, he just smiled and shook his head as an answer to Gatsby.

"The butler is ready, so I'm here to tell you to go, and it's fine not to disturb you." Nick smiled a little embarrassedly. It was indeed the butler who asked him to inform Gatsby and the others, but it was half-hearted. It was an hour ago.

Daisy was so happy that she almost exclaimed, at least she acted very happy, she urged Gatsby and Nick to hurry up, and ran towards the door in a hurry.

Nick wanted to ask Gatsby some questions, but it was obviously not the right time. He could only take a deep look at Gatsby, and then he and Gatsby followed Daisy to the door. Did not speak.

When Nick and Gatsby arrived at the door, they didn't see Daisy. They were told that Daisy had gone to the beach in a car. Gatsby felt that Daisy might be avoiding him, so he didn't say anything.Gatsby hesitated looking at the other car prepared by the butler, and finally he asked Nick, "Do you want to drive or walk?"

Nick knew that Gatsby's manor was close to the beach, and there was a not-so-wide path between the two places. He was planning to find time to have a good chat with Gatsby, so he quickly chose to go to the beach with Gatsby.

Nick and Gatsby walked side by side on the path, the summer sun shone through the leaves, dappled the light and shadow on the ground
