[Comprehensive] The family has waste wood and is beginning to grow

After returning to Italy from Denmark, neither Enzo nor Laura mentioned what happened that night again. If there was no legal relationship between husband and wife, it might look more like a one-night affair between a man and a woman in the eyes of outsiders.

Maybe... that's the way it is, isn't it.How much so-called "love" existed that night, the two parties must not be able to tell.It's more just a burst of impulse from adult men and women under the influence of hormones, and the physical eagerness is greater than the emotional.

In front of the dressing table in the bedroom, Laura, who had already washed, opened the neckline of her nightgown a little...

The faint red hickey has not disappeared, the trace left by the misty passion that night.

Looking blankly at himself in the mirror...

She always felt that the relationship with him was becoming more and more abnormal, but she understood that she shouldn't continue like this.

He was just her son's father, his kin...but not her lover.A man like him is not suitable for her.

And he is probably trying to be a good father and a good relative, but he must have never thought of becoming her lover.Everything he does is based on his family.

Everything between him and her is based on family affection, so let everything return to family affection in the end.

After taking a deep breath, he turned around and walked back to the big soft bed, and lay down.

Only her.

As soon as he returned to Denmark, Enzo hurriedly went out to handle his business again.

She didn't ask where she was going, what she was going to do, how long she was going, but she just asked him before he left - come back early.

That way, that's enough.

……

The time Enzo left this time was indeed not short.This year's Christmas, I'm still not at home, just like last year.

And where others are, it is the same as in the past, only he knows.As for the Christmas presents for her and Dino, he also delivered them by courier just like last year.

Thinking of the tricky toy that the man deliberately gave her last year, Laura was still careful when she unwrapped the gift box.But this year's gift was only packed in a small box, so there shouldn't be any tricks.

After all, it was Christmas Eve. Except for the necessary guards on duty in the castle, everyone else had already returned to their homes to enjoy the reunion in their little home.

In the corner of the living room, on the cashmere carpet in front of the burning fireplace, Dino also leaned his little head over, curiously wanting to see the gift his father gave his mother.

The beautiful packing box was opened and there was only one small thing inside, a small and exquisite starfish-shaped hairpin.

Staring silently at the hairpin lying on the palm of her hand, Laura's hand trembled uncontrollably, together with her heart.

It's not that this hairpin is so exquisite and ingenious, but because... this hairpin is exactly the same as the one she wore in the photo when she was a child.

"I saw in the photos of you when you were a child, the starfish card was your favorite... Well, although I couldn't find the exact same one, I saw a similar style in the store today, so let's do it first."

That's what he told her after pinning the hairpin for her that night.So, this time, he specially customized a perfect one for her as a gift...

"Mommy, there is a diamond in the middle of the card!" Dino, who had been looking at the card carefully, suddenly pointed to the center of the "starfish" and exclaimed.

Laura, who was withdrawn from her own thoughts, also noticed the shiny center of the hairpin.

If there is the only difference from the starfish hairpin she had when she was a child, it is the sparkle in the center, which has changed from a plastic ornament when she was a child to a diamond in the palm of her hand.

At this time, I noticed that there was a small card in the gift box.

Take it out and take a look, only to see a string of cursive characters on it——

"Diamonds are forever, and one lasts forever."

The beautiful text came into view, but before there was a wave of heat that was moved in my body... I saw a small line of words in the corner below the card——

"...I think De Beers has a good catchphrase."

The so-called one sentence can instantly ruin the atmosphere or something.

After a little helpless sneer, Laura put away the issuing card and the card.

"Mum, don't you wear it? The hairpin my father gave you is very beautiful." Dino asked a little confused.

Mother's long pure golden hair is beautiful, and it must be beautiful if it is decorated with diamonds.

"No, this is for collection." Laura blinked at her son, "Besides, this style is better for little girls, it's not suitable for my age."

Yes, for collection, for collection of the few good memories he gave her.One that will last forever... Just keep it in her heart.

But Dino said naively: "It's a pity, I can't wear it... Then, Mommy, if you have a younger sister in the future, you can wear it for your younger sister!"

Laura was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond to her son... Tell him directly that he will no longer have a younger sister or younger brother, and even if he does, the mother of the younger sister or younger brother will not be her, but this kind of words is very important to the children. It's too cruel.

Simply skipping this question is also her own way of avoiding, "Come on, Dino, take it apart and see what Dad sent you."

Dino, whose attention was quickly diverted, picked up his long gift box and began to unwrap it with glee.

After opening, there is a special wild horse whip inside.

"It's the same as Dad's..." Dino took out the whip cautiously, caressing this kind of weapon he didn't want to touch with his small hands.

Although this is very unpromising, he must admit that he is afraid of such things as weapons and resists them from the bottom of his heart.He didn't like fighting, he didn't like fighting with people, really didn't like it.

When his heart was trembling for a while, he felt a warm hand on top of his head gently stroking him and comforting him.

"It's okay, put it away first, and when you need it one day...you can choose." She understands her son's character and his mood.

But now, she also understands better what Enzo's gift to Dino at Christmas in the past two years means.

Gabrielone’s leader’s ring, given to Dino last year, symbolizes power; this year’s Gabrielone’s wild horse whip, which is used by successive leaders, symbolizes strength.

That man was probably already prepared for an accident to happen to him one step earlier than tomorrow, ready to meet his end at any time, and also ready to hand over everything behind him to his son.

He is a person who is stubborn to the point of madness, a person who is too casual.He never cared about things like life and death.Probably because of this, he is so powerful.Although this is powerful, she does not appreciate it.

"Okay, put away the presents." Laura urged her son to deal with his things.

And while Dino was moving his gift, he asked in a somewhat husky voice with a nasal voice just after a cold: "Mommy, when will Daddy come back?"

This question... Laura felt that she really couldn't answer it.

"He'll be back."

When she heard herself say that, she didn't want to lie to her son, nor did she want to make him sad or disappointed.

……

After Christmas, New Year's Day comes one after another, and the new year is here again.

A few days after the new year, the master of Gabrielone Castle is still floating outside, but an unexpected guest has ushered in the castle.

In the evening, Laura, who just had to catch up with the three-day notice, endured exhaustion, and hurried to the school to pick up Dino before she could take off her makeup.The past few days have been so busy that she hasn't even been able to see her son a few times.

Her son's immature smile gradually relieved her fatigue, and the mother and son laughed along the way back home.

It’s just that as soon as I got home, I walked in the door, and in the hall on the first floor——

A woman in a luxurious suit paced leisurely with her arms crossed, the heels of her high-heeled shoes stomping on the floor again and again.Looking around at the interior decoration of this castle, he showed a high and arrogant attitude.

When she noticed Laura returning with Dino, the woman also turned around and looked at the mother and child.When looking at Laura, in addition to the usual arrogance, there was obviously undisguised contempt and disdain.

"Hey, is this a visitor?" As a superb actor, Laura knew that this person was not kind and was full of malice towards her just by looking at her eyes.

She can be sure that she doesn't know the woman in front of her...Of course, it's a different matter if there is such a person in the memory of her lost years.

At this time, Romario, who was originally following Laura, was startled when he saw the woman in the middle of the hall, and then realized that the atmosphere was not right, so he stepped forward to ease the atmosphere like a good old man: "Madam , this is Miss Agnes, she... is the daughter of Mr. Albert, the chief lawyer of our Gabrielone family. In the past few years, Miss Agnes has been studying in North America, so you haven't seen her. "

That Albert's daughter... After hearing Romario's introduction, Laura frowned slightly.

Albert was one of the most powerful of the family patriarchs and without a doubt one of Enzo's greatest enemies within the family.Then this also means that Miss Agnes is also included in the circle of enemies in Enzo's heart.

And when Romario finished introducing Laura, the "Mrs. Gabrielone", Agnes walked up to Laura in a few steps with her high heels clattering.Although he was half a head lower than Laura, he insisted on straightening his back and raising his chin, without reducing his aura.

"Finally I saw a real person, Laura Persson... Huh, she doesn't look much more than that. Enzo has seen too many women like you since he was a child. You really think you can seduce her." Live him? If you hadn’t been lucky enough to conceive Enzo’s child back then, do you think you could take the place of Mrs. Gabrielone? For money and power, you desperately went to a man’s bed to conceive a man’s child, don’t The bitch on your face!" The lips painted with bright red lip gloss opened their mouths, and Agnes couldn't suppress the anger in her heart more and more.

Just when the last syllable of the word "bitch" just falls...

"Ah!" Agnes suddenly screamed in pain.

Dino suddenly rushed forward like a cannonball and slammed his head into Agnes's stomach, causing Agnes to take a step back.He almost didn't come to a stop, and was almost sprained by the high heels.

After the collision, Dino ran back in a hurry. Although his voice was trembling, it was the first time that he bravely showed the momentum that Gabrielone should have in the next ten generations, "Ro... Romario, take her Get out! I don't want to see her!"

……

The author has something to say: the wild horse whip that Enzo gave Dino for Christmas was not the one that Dino used later, and the original book explained that both "wild horse whip" and "Antrio" were born from Lane later.

"Diamonds are forever, one piece will last forever" This famous diamond slogan came from the jewelry giant De Beers in the 50s.
