Want You in My Life

Chapter 16 I Would Rather I Was The One Who Died That Year

Outside the window, it rained slowly and sadly. At three o'clock in the morning, the thunder came one

after another. Alline didn't sleep well and had a dream. She dreamed of the car accident many years

ago. Her mother held her and her brother in her arms. She heard her brother whispering in her ear,

"Alline, live well --"

She cried so sadly that she could do nothing but cry.

"Brother Sven-" she wanted to call him, but she opened her mouth and couldn't say a word. Sven,

Sven, why was I alive? I would rather die than live. I would rather die in the past.

With tears streaming down her face, Alline vaguely heard someone calling her, "Mrs. Mo-"

She was about to cry hysterically, and there seemed to be bright red blood floating in front of her eyes,

like a life in a rage. The bright color irritated her eyes. She tightly grasped the corner of the quilt, until

someone's voice came into her ears again. "Mrs. Mo, wake up! "

She woke up in a daze, unable to tell whether she was in reality or in a dream. The accident of that

year was still vivid in her mind, and her pillow was slightly wet. "What's wrong? Although she controlled

her emotions, her voice was a little hoarse.

The wall lamp was turned on in the room, and the warm light was not too dazzling. "Mrs. Mo, Mr. Hiram

is back! "

"Okay. Alline was still immersed in sadness. Her mind was in a mess and she was slow to react. She

calmed down for a while and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. Then she turned her head

and asked," What did you say just now? "

"Mr. Hiram is back! "The servant answered.

Alline subconsciously pulled the quilt: "Do I have to serve him in changing clothes? Since she entered

the house, Alline has known that there are many rules in the Mo family, so she also plans to be

obedient in the Mo family. After all, they are going to divorce in the end, aren't they?

But Alline didn't know that she was not qualified to divorce.

"No, Mr. Hiram wants you to sleep in the guest room tonight. The servant said in a low voice.

"Oh. Alline uncovered the quilt, got out of bed calmly, took a new quilt from the cabinet and turned to

the guest room. She didn't resist at all, and her posture was calm as if nothing had happened.

Until the figure of Alline disappeared upstairs, the wheelchair that Hiram was sitting on was pushed to

the second floor and entered the bridal chamber. It was quiet in the bridal chamber. The big red

marriage card was stuck on the head of the bed, and there was unconcealed disgust in his eyes. "Tear

those wedding words apart! "

He didn't like those things because they were unpleasant to look at.

Knowing what was on his mind, Jenny persuaded him, "Mr. Hiram, it's late tonight. You go to bed first.

I'll have someone handle it tomorrow! "

"Jenny, don't you listen to me? Hiram asked in reply. Jenny trembled and didn't say anything. Hiram's

eyes were full of pain. After a while, he said," Throw away everything that that that woman has used in

this room! He turned to look at the wedding dress on the side. The red light was dazzling, and his

hatred was even stronger.

Alline, was that you? Did you think it's so easy to enter Mo family and become my wife?

You were dreaming!

According to the rules of the Mo family, the second day after the new daughter-in-law entered the

house, she would go to the ancestral hall to serve tea. Although she went to bed late last night, Alline

still woke up early. She dressed neatly and went downstairs. Because of the occasion, she was

formally dressed with a thin light makeup, which made her look elegant and bright.

She saw Zelda busy in the living room and asked casually, "Zelda, is Mr. Hiram up? She always felt

hostility towards her newly married husband, but she didn't know why. Was it because she married

him?

That was good. It just so happened that they had nothing to do with each other, as she wished.

"Mrs. Mo, Mr. Hiram went to the Jing Garden early in the morning. Zelda answered as usual. Seeing

the faint expression on Alline's face, she added involuntarily," He said that he wouldn't let anyone

disturb him. "

Although Alline didn't know where the Jing Garden was, she saw the mysterious expression on Zelda's

face, so she didn't ask any more questions and said lightly, "Just call me Alline from now on. I can't

stand the two words' Mrs. Mo'. Then she left the room.

After serving the tea, Alline stood up from the cushion and felt depressed. She had seen all the people

of Mo family yesterday. Some of them took pleasure in the misfortune, some sympathized with her, and

some despised her. Alline was not afraid at all and looked calm. She always felt that she was not a

member of Mo family even she married Hiram. Everyone knew that this marriage was just a business

marriage.

When she found her brother, she would leave here.

Then they had breakfast. The breakfast of Mo family was arranged in the main room. A dozen people

gathered around a big red table, which looked a little lively. But according to the rules of the Mo family,

they didn't talk while eating or sleeping, so the table was mostly quiet.

Before Alline could eat a few mouthfuls, the voice from the servant's intercom came to the living room.

"Mr. Hiram lost his temper again. He smashed today's breakfast and you must send another one here!

"

Mr. Ethan, Hiram's grandpa, who squinted his eyes and said, "He's been in a bad mood for a month." "

Alline didn't say anything. From what he said, it seemed that Hiram had already been in a bad mood for

a long time. It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with the marriage, but she didn't understand why

he agreed to let her in since he was dissatisfied? It was really contradictory. Although Alline thought so,

she put down her chopsticks and stood up. "Grandpa Ethan, I'm full. I'll go and have a look. "

Mr. Ethan was about to refuse. After all, he had already known what had happened last night. Hiram

was dissatisfied with Alline. The two of them hadn't seen each other last night. If Alline went there

today, there might be some trouble. But when he saw that Alline's eyes were firm and bright, he finally

nodded and said, "Take some servants there. Don't let him hurt you. " This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Because of the disability of his legs, Hiram hadn't been to the main house for dinner in the past few

years. He had only eaten in his own courtyard, but because of the marriage of Alline, his cold and

indifferent character was even more gloomy.

"Yes. Alline replied and walked out of the living room.

When Alline went out, a girl followed behind her, who was about seventeen or eight years old, shouting

at her, "Hey, sister-in-law, wait a minute." Turning her head, Alline saw that Gloria Mo was sneaking up

and asked, "Gloria, why are you here? "

"Go to see my brother with you! Gloria said casually. She walked into the courtyard arm in arm with

Alline. While walking, she suddenly said, "Alline, my brother is a man with a strange temper. Don't take

it to heart. After sis Emma passed away, he was even more moody. He wanted all the people in the

world to be sad with him. Grandpa saw it, but he could do nothing. Alline, if only Emma hadn't gone! "

Seeing the innocent look on Gloria's face, Alline's face froze, but she smiled and asked, "Who is sister

Emma? "

"Hey, Alline, don't tell Grandpa that I mentioned it. Since my brother had a car accident, grandpa didn't

allow anyone in the house to mention Emma. He said that my brother's accident was all because of

Emma. Then she sighed sadly.

"Don't worry. I won't mention it. Alline promised seriously.

"Alline, you are the best. You don't know how sad my brother has been for Emma all these years. If it

weren't for grandpa who forced him to marry you, he wouldn't have gotten married all his life. Gloria

said emotionally.

The corners of Alline's mouth twitched. She finally understood what the little girl was doing here, but

she didn't intend to make a fuss about it with a little girl. Although she was not a few years older than

Gloria, after all, she was her sister-in-law. She nodded and said in a low voice, "I don't care. "

"Alline, aren't you angry? After all, Gloria was a little girl who couldn't hide her thoughts. When she saw

the unchanged expression on Alline's face, she asked carefully.

Not in the mood to argue with a little girl, Alline said gently, "Why should I be angry. "

Gloria mumbled, "My brother Hiram liked Emma before he got married! "

"Every man has one or two female confidants before marriage! Why should I be angry? Someone likes

your brother, which means he is very charming! Alline replied indifferently. To be honest, Alline would

like to have Hiram more female confidants, in case that she would have a headache for the upcoming

couple life of the two, which was good for both of the two.

He had someone on his mind, and she also had someone she loved.
