[HP] If youth has an ageless face

"You don't need to talk nonsense!" Edwin pulled away from Ethan, and her dislike for him reached its peak at this moment.Sylvia immediately stopped among them:

"We all know who you are, can you stop pretending to be kind here?"

"Sylvia, don't talk nonsense with him!"

"I really didn't know she did it." He excused himself eagerly. "Edwin La, everyone knows that Lopez and I were married just to get what we wanted. We were partners but we weren't. Ally, her plans were never revealed to me. I warned her after what happened last time, but I didn't expect her to dare to—"

"How are you better than her? Don't pretend to be innocent!" Sylvia reprimanded, "You and Lopez are really a match made in heaven. She is stupid on the surface, and you are in the dark. people."

"Edwin La, if you mind that year..."

"Forget it, Ethan. It's useless to say more." Sylvia sneered, "Are you really ignorant of Lopez's actions? Without your assistance or acquiescence, how could Lopez have dared to be here before?" Drinking drugs and taking people away in public? If she succeeds in framing Edwina, I think she will end up in your hands instead of Lopez's?"

Ethan's pupils shrank slightly, which of course did not escape their eyes.

"How long have you coveted Edwina?" Sylvia looked at him, "I guess it's been a long time."

He did not refute.

"Let's go," Edwin said in a low voice, "don't get entangled with him."

Sylvia secretly held her hand instead: "Did Darren really accidentally die in the Norwegian forest because of plant toxins?"

As soon as these words came out, the hatchback was silent.Edwin cast his eyes on Ethan in disbelief, and he didn't avoid it, even though his eyes were a little dodged - no, it couldn't be Ethan.He was only a teenager, and he was far away at Hogwarts, how could he murder another person thousands of miles away in Norway?

"I believe that Darren's death was accidental." Sylvia asked softly, "But if Darren is alive, will he end up dying at the hands of his own brother?"

Facing her calm accusation, Ethan's face slowly turned pale.

"You make me sick." After a long silence, Edwina said.

After the two talked for a long time in the living room, Jacques sent Sylvia away.When he entered the bedroom, Edwin was fully clothed and lying on the bed, without the light on.He walked over to lie beside her, tentatively put his hand on her shoulder: "Leave Lopez to me."

Much later, in the dark, she made a request: "Shut her up forever."

"Okay." Joaquin promised.

For a while, neither of them spoke.

"If you want, we can move to another country." Joaquin said again, and he slowly stroked Edwin's shoulders and back, "I can easily get an assignment opportunity, although the United States I've given the place to someone else, but I can try to get a spot in Canada. Your brother is there too, isn't he?"

Speaking of Ulea, her heart became even colder: "He hasn't contacted me for several years, forget it."

"It's okay." He hugged her, and slowly put his chin on her forehead, "You have me, and Blaise."

"Yeah." She closed her eyes, "Let me rest for a while."

She dreamed of the summer when she was nine years old.The Davis family went to Scotland for the summer.Uriah was practicing Quidditch in the yard; Mr. Davis was doing business in the study; Constance was bored reading in her room.She slipped into Mrs. Davies' bedroom to look through her pile of beauty potions...

"Edwina," she was caught off guard, and Mrs. Davis promised when she was anxious, "I will give you a set of cosmetics when you turn 15."

"Really?" She was ecstatic.

"of course."

……

She looked at the time after waking up, but she didn't sleep for a long time.

Rusting sounds came from downstairs, and Edwina approached silently. It was Jacques who was playing puzzles with Bryce.

She stood there quietly watching them for a long time, and finally she was startled when Jacques inadvertently turned around: "Are you awake?"

Edwina saw the worry in his eyes, she stepped forward and sat down next to him: "Do you like children?"

Jacques froze for a moment, looked at Blaise, hesitant.

"I think Blaise might need the company of a younger brother or sister." Edwina smiled, "Do you think so, Blaise? Do you want a younger brother or a younger sister?"

"I'm casual." Blaise grinned, "Anyway, I'm always the most attractive one."

Edwina and Jacques looked at each other, neither understanding what they meant: "What?"

Blaise jumped off the couch and ran upstairs, and a moment later he came down with a box, which he showed them proudly.There are some trivial things in the box, such as ribbons for tying hair, a string of small necklaces, five-pointed stars made of paper, etc...

"What are these?"

"From the little girl I met at the party." Blaise said, "This is from Daphne, this is from Astoria, this is from Rosemary, this is from Christine, this is... …Oh, one of them sends me off every time they see me, so there's some repetition in there."

Jacques couldn't help laughing, and Edwin was silent for a moment: "So, you just accept everything they give you?"

"They insist on giving it to me, and if I don't want it, they will keep pestering them. But if I accept one person's but reject another person's, wouldn't it make them very sad?" Blaise didn't care, "I It's just to take care of their feelings."

"Like a mother, like a son." Joaquin smiled regardless of Edwin's threatening eyes, "So, Blaise, have you met any little girl you like?"

"No." Blaise thought thoughtfully, "I haven't met the person who rejected me yet."

"The person who rejected you? Well, Blaise, your idea is very consistent with what is written in the novel."

"Brace, this is not good." Edwin decided to educate him in advance, "You have to learn to say 'no'."

"They'll fight if I say no," he said sadly. "I can't stand a group of people chattering like sparrows next to me. Oh, and, before, Daphne and Astoria did it for me. When fighting, you clearly taught me that a gentleman should not let ladies fight for him-so I can't favor one person over another, this is what you taught me."

"Well said, Blaise." Jacques laughed loudly, "Edwinla, do you have any arguments to say?"

"One moment and another moment. Forget it, you are still young and don't understand the truth." Edwin coughed, "In short, people like to miss things that they can't get, understand?"

"What do you mean?" Blaise glanced at her warily. "I say no to them and they'll always remember me?"

"more or less."

"It's terrible. I don't want to be missed by so many people." Blaise shook his head and refused, "Mom, your way is outdated."

"What do children know?" Edwin didn't bother to argue with him, "Remember what I said, and in five or six years you will regret not listening to me."

"Brace has won the debate," Joaquin declared.When Blaise happily sent the box back to his room, Edwin took the opportunity to ask, "Look, Blaise doesn't mind having multiple siblings, so don't you want a child of your own?"

"Of course I do." Jacques' eyes softened, "Do you want to?"

She kissed him on the lips in reply.
