She had thought that this secret of hers might be exposed one day, but she never thought that this day would come so suddenly, she was caught off guard, and it was learned by the person she least expected.

Even though she was soaking in the hot spring, Laura felt a icy coldness, the kind of chill that came from the inside out.

The response to him was silence, and Enzo also knew that his speculation all along could indeed be realized.

"Don't be nervous, I don't want to do anything." This is his sincere words, or it may not be a good thing for him, "When is your memory stuck?"

"Would you believe me if I said that when I woke up in the hospital, I only remembered the night when I became the queen of the Venice Film Festival at the age of 17?" Laura confessed.

Since we can't escape tonight and talk about this matter, then we simply don't hide it, and we don't want to hide anything, and we will live with less suspicion in the future.

Enzo didn't show the slightest surprise, instead he narrowed his eyes and slowly rubbed his chin with his right hand, "So, at that time, can you be regarded as a 23-year-old body with a 17-year-old mind? It makes me feel like a weird uncle."

Leaning against the stone wall made of soapstone, looking back on her life in the past year, and looking at the starry sky in the dark night, Laura couldn't help but sigh: "But when I wake up, I have to accept the fact that I have become a mother." , and a bunch of messes to deal with... It feels like I've aged ten years in just one year."

This period of time smoothed out many of her edges and corners, even though she was forced to grow up.

"So..." Enzo also leaned his arm on the wall of the pool, with curiosity and inquiry in his eyes: "Before you were 17, did you have this kind of temperament? If that's the case, it should be... no, it's nothing."

...It should be quite to my liking, this is the second half of the sentence he didn't say.

"Not really, maybe it should be more irritating." Thinking of the immature self who always lived in the idealized world created by Sha Xingyi for her in the past, Laura felt that she liked the current self more.

For her, this is not just an amnesia, but more like a rebirth, and it is a life after death.

"If you're done asking, it's time for me to ask." She only knew that what happened seven years ago became a turning point in her entire life, but it had always been a mystery to her, a mystery she wanted to know crazily. Fan: "Our marriage has never been about love. If that's the case, why did you marry me in the first place?"

She firmly believed in this point. It was impossible for her to switch to the arms of other men after only two months of dating with her first love boyfriend, not to mention that what this man showed her at the beginning must have been nothing but a false side.

As if to show that he was sincere tonight, Enzo looked straight into Laura's eyes, and replied briefly but seriously: "Indeed, there has never been love between us. In the final analysis, our marriage is because of you Pregnant with my child... Rather than letting the old guys in the family arrange a wife to supervise and control me, it's better to let you, a person who won't get in my way, because you are pregnant with the heir of Gabriel Be Madame Gabrielone."

Sure enough, it was a marriage with a child... After a sneer in her heart, Laura continued her question: "Why did I get pregnant with Dino in the first place?"

"One-night stand." Enzo's reply was succinct but explained everything. It was nothing more than an affair that was not based on feelings. "It was negligent that night, and safety measures were not taken well...Dino's arrival was a complete accident."

Although he is now... a little grateful for the accident.

"...Did you force me?"

"I never force women to sleep with me. Maybe it's hard for you to believe it now, but you did voluntarily that night."

Now she has a little understanding of Enzo's temper, so she believes that he will not or disdain to lie at this time.

Under the spring water, he clenched his hands tightly, and his nails sank into the flesh of his palm, as if he wanted to use this pain to suppress something surging in his heart.

"Then, what is the reason, why did I do that... You should know about it?" She still couldn't believe that she would do that kind of thing at the age of 17, but she was willing to look directly: "Tell me exactly, May I?"

Enzo, who had been very cooperative at first, and whose expression could be regarded as gentle, became a lot more serious, and his attitude became a little tougher: "I probably know part of it. But Laura, I'm sorry, I don't intend to tell you...you don't Will want to know."

"Enzo Gabrielone!" Gritting his teeth impulsively, he called out the opponent's full name.

Enzo's attitude did not change at all, "Laura, I have no obligation to help you regain your memory. It's your business if you want to know, and it's up to you whether to say it or not."

Being blocked back so bluntly, although she was very unhappy in her heart, it also made her realize a fact, a fact that she had ignored for a while because of his little changes in this period of time.

He is not a person who will be obedient to others, and it is even more impossible for her, and there is no reason for him.

He was, after all, the head of a mafia family, not even a gentleman.

If there is something he does not want to do, no one can change his will.

"Actually, Laura, you're fine now. The years before... If you look back, maybe you won't be happy. Maybe one day in the future your memory will come back, but when that day comes, you'll have it again." There are more memories now, so... In short, you understand what I mean." Enzo felt that he was a little incoherent, and he, who was always eloquent, really didn't know how to express his deepest and true thoughts.

"You mean, you want me to look forward and stop dwelling on the past?" It was strange that she could directly understand what he wanted to say in those confusing words.

"Just like what happened this year, isn't it a new memory for you, isn't that great?"

Only silence answered him, and he couldn't see what Laura would think.

In fact, in the final analysis...he still doesn't know her well enough.

But now that he decided to face her truthfully, he didn't want to hide anything from her in some aspects.

Clearing his throat, he looked at Laura with erratic eyes, "Well... there is something I want to tell you."

"What?" Bi Mou slid to the man's obviously guilty expression.

"That's right, the attorney Fujin Yan who filed the divorce lawsuit for you...is actually someone from my side." Sensing the change in Laura's mood, Enzo simply confessed everything in one breath: "I guessed that if it was If Shako introduced you to a lawyer, he should be of Japanese descent, and the most famous Japanese lawyer in Italy is Fujihiko, and it turned out to be true. I have cooperated with him before, so I called him in advance. I've said hello. Actually, I don't care what the final result of this lawsuit is. I just want to use the property investigation of both parties during the divorce process to let Ming Yan find out that those old things in the family are secretly under the name of Gabriel. The acquired property...I admit that this has been included in my plan from the beginning of my marriage."

"So, you just think that in the past few years, let those elders accumulate money in the name of Gabriel to their heart's content, and wait for you to take it directly in this way when you are getting more and more wings. As for every time you That look like a rich and powerful fool who gave me all the property that was investigated in order to maintain the so-called 'male dignity' is just to let those elders continue to feel at ease that you are a 'useless waste', and secondly It's easy to take back those properties from me by your means, isn't that right?" Laura smiled with her lips curled up, and her voice became colder every time she said a word.

Not intending to hide anything anymore, Enzo nodded... and was splashed in the face by a ladle of water.

He choked on a few sips of water, coughed twice, and his brown hair stuck to his forehead wetly.

Over there, Laura also threw the wooden ladle aside, "If it's possible, I'd rather just put your head in the water."

"...I think so too." Enzo smiled dryly.

Taking a few deep breaths, he closed his eyes and rested for a moment, completely ignoring Enzo's cautious and probing gaze from the opposite side.

After a long while, it seemed that after brewing for a long time, Laura finally spoke:

"How long will it take... How long do you need this divorce lawsuit to drag on?"

"Give me another year, and the benefits that this plan can gain are almost at their limit." This is the current estimate of him and Fujiko, after which he will start other plans.

"Okay. In that case, let's get a divorce in one year, and I'll leave." Said this sentence calmly, and after seeing the obvious dissent on the other party's expression, said before the other party could speak : "You don't need to compensate me or anything, just take care of Dino."

If there was only an objection just now, then Enzo was surprised at the moment, "You mean you gave up Dino's custody? Didn't you just want to fight for this when you filed a lawsuit with me?"

"It was indeed for this reason, and because I insisted on this, I stayed at Gabrielone's house, but what happened today... made me think a lot."

It was very difficult for her to make this decision, but a series of things happened today made her feel that this was the right thing to do.

"As you said, the moment Dino was born, it was doomed that he would not be able to completely get rid of the world of the mafia in this life. If he didn't have the ability to survive in this world, let alone live a happy life, even Whether he can survive is a question. If I take him away, without the shelter of Gabrielone's family and without your teaching him as a mafia, it may not be a good thing for him."

She also slowly realized that to truly love someone is not only to pour out all her enthusiasm, but also to help him become stronger.

"As for my promise to wait a year after your plan is completed before getting a divorce... Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to cooperate with you, but doing so can also be regarded as paving the way for Dino."

Quietly listening to Laura finish what was in her heart, Enzo only felt that his mind was in a daze.

But before he could sort out his thoughts, he heard himself say this almost instinctively, "Actually, if this is the case, there is no need for a divorce. I don't mind this marriage..."

"But I don't mind." Laura interrupted Enzo bluntly, with her indestructible pride in her blue eyes: "Maybe you will laugh at me as childish, but I am such a person. Maybe every paragraph Love will gradually turn into family affection after marriage, but if there is no love in a marriage, then I would rather not. Enzo Gabrione, let me ask you, can you tell me sincerely now 'I love you'?"

He didn't want to tell any lies tonight, so he could only give her a wry smile in return.

And this negative answer was also expected by Laura, otherwise it would be a ghost.

"Obviously, you can't; likewise, neither can I. Family affection is never the shackles of love. I will continue to be a good mother, but I will not give up pursuing love because of this. If I meet someone I love in the future I will still bravely devote all my enthusiasm and seriousness to love; and it’s not that if you don’t live together, you are not a relative. Whether it’s blood relationship or bondage, family relationship is not such a fragile thing that can be broken at once. "

Thinking carefully about Laura's words, Enzo also smiled from the bottom of his heart, "...I really am, I have no way to refute what you said."

"Actually, in this regard, you are a child who doesn't understand anything, sir." Laura rarely teased the man in front of her.

Because I never got real feelings, I never knew what it was.I don't know how to express it at all, and I dare not pay.

Sometimes she really felt that emotionally, he was just an ignorant and timid little baby.

"Then, Enzo, can I take it as an agreement between us?"

"what."

……

The next day, Tokyo International Airport——

In the bustling waiting hall, it is time to end this trip to Japan full of various accidents.

Because it is an international airport, there are people from all over the world coming and going. In order to prevent being recognized, Laura also put on a cap and wide-brimmed sunglasses.

"Oh, little idiot, where are you blowing..." Enzo wiped the snot on his hand with a look of disgust.

Dino, who was sitting on the big suitcase, blushed with shame, and said sorry softly.

Maybe it was because of the wind blowing at the beach last night. Today, Dino had a cold, and even sneezed several times, and his nose flowed out.

Enzo had no choice but to take out the tissues he was wearing with him, put them in front of his son's nostrils and let him blow them all out... As a result, his son sprayed them all on his hands.

Looking at the time, it was almost time to enter the customs and prepare to board the plane. Laura just wanted to remind the father and son over there, when she turned around, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure flashed in the distance.

And that figure made her heart tremble instantly, and the name was murmured in her mouth unconsciously.

That delicate baby face that seemed to never grow up, and that thin body.

Will it be him?

And when he noticed two sneaky paparazzi holding cameras behind that figure, the voice in his heart became more certain and stronger.

After all, he is a cutting-edge director who is popular in Japan today.

"Laura, what's the matter?" Enzo asked aloud after he finished dealing with the pile of slime sticking to his hand, turned around and found that something was wrong with Laura.

"Mommy?" Dino also blinked and looked at his mother.

And the voices of two men, one big and one small, also liberated Laura from her own world, and smiled indifferently:

"Nothing. Well, let's go, let's go home."
