Carmine had been in control of the situation at dinner tonight, hoping that Verak would speak less and avoid showing more omissions as much as possible. When Elizabeth got the hint, Carmine would naturally not agree to her request at this time: "What else is there to say?
?”
"I only have this one request." Elizabeth insisted.
Carmine has not encountered a child who dared to be so stubborn in front of him in many years: "It's impossible. I will give you one hundred thousand gold grams, you go."
"I want to say a few words to you." Elizabeth ignored Carmine and looked directly at Verak.
"Okay." Before Carmine could get angry, Verak also looked directly at Elizabeth and agreed to her request, "Father, let us talk one last time in private."
Carmine looked at Verak and saw that Verak's eyes were firm and he had made up his mind.
"Go." After a while, Carmine agreed.
Verak stood up: "Go out and chat."
Elizabeth followed Verak out of the mansion and walked down the street.
"I'm not Chris."
"You're not Chris."
Verak and Elizabeth said in unison as they walked slowly side by side on the lonely streets of the wealthy district.
"I know you have seen it a long time ago, so there is no need for me to keep hiding it." Verak put his hands in his pockets and said calmly, "Before you ask me for answers to your questions, can I ask you a question first?"
"What?"
"How did you tell that I wasn't Chris?" Verak wanted to learn a lesson from Elizabeth and avoid this risk in the future.
"Feeling." Elizabeth said.
Verak smiled helplessly: "That's really impeccable... Just ask me what you want to know."
Elizabeth did confirm that Verak was not Chris, but it was still hard to accept when she heard his admission: "Chris..."
"Dead." Verak said.
Elizabeth's nose became sore and tears began to well up in her eyes. She pursed her lips firmly and did not cry.
"It was probably around the time when we cut off contact with you." Verak announced this result in an extremely calm voice, which was no different from a bolt from the blue for Elizabeth.
"Because of what?" Elizabeth asked even more choked up.
"I'm sorry, I can't say." Verak shook his head slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. Although Elizabeth also showed that she didn't know what Chris was doing when she asked this question, "I also hope you won't investigate.
, don’t try to uncover this matter that cannot be made public yet.”
"Why?"
Verak raised his head slightly and looked at the moon, which was half covered by dark clouds: "He is doing a great thing, which is extremely dangerous. The reason why he has never told you is because he doesn't want you to be involved in it.
harm."
"But he..." Tears finally fell from Elizabeth's flawless face.
"Thankfully, he is not the only one doing this great thing. There are hundreds of people with the same enthusiasm as him, risking their lives and striving to change the world into what they think is right.
." Verak's eyes reflected the moonlight, "So I don't tell you, it's for your own good, and it's also for the good of those people."
"I want to know, even if there is danger." Elizabeth turned to look at Verak, acting as determined as she had just been in the restaurant.
Verak did not waver: "You will know...if it succeeds one day."
"Then who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am in this city." Verak lowered his gaze, "In the eyes of everyone, I am Chris. Only today, you deny my identity for the first time. I hope you don't take this
Spread the matter and keep this secret for us."
Elizabeth said nothing.
"It will be delivered here, Miss Elizabeth." When he reached the intersection, Verak stopped, "Finally, on behalf of Mr. Chris, I would like to express my most sincere blessings to you. I wish you a happy life and all the best."
Elizabeth didn't leave for a long time: "This is the last time we see each other."
"Elizabeth, I hope you have a good life." Verak knew that Elizabeth showed her true feelings, and at the last moment he still thought of himself as Chris.
"You too." Elizabeth crossed the intersection, holding her skirt and walking further and further alone.
Verak looked at her back until he could no longer see her, then turned and returned to the Thomas family mansion.
The dishes in the restaurant have not been touched. Carmine, Meira, Kellerman, and Fletcher are waiting for Verak in the hall.
"Father." Verak came to Carmine.
"What did you say?" Carmine asked expressionlessly.
"Elizabeth tried to win me back. After I made it clear to her, she gave up and promised that she would never have any contact with me again," Verak replied.
Carmine still remained serious after hearing this: "What didn't she see?"
"No." Verak said firmly.
"Let's eat." Carmine still recognized Verak's ability. The mistake at the previous charity dinner was indeed a problem that no one could predict in advance. "Kellerman, tell Julia to come down."
Kellerman got up from the sofa in the hall and went upstairs to find Julia.
After the family experienced an unpleasant incident, they enjoyed dinner again. Because Julia was still young and was taken away frequently by Carmine tonight, she was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back. Now she was the first to eat.
Got up.
Seeing that his daughter was starving, Carmine rarely smiled: "Eat slowly."
After the crisis was over, Mela and Kellerman also felt relaxed, and the family returned to their happy atmosphere.
Verak glanced at Fletcher who was standing aside. Fletcher leaned over and massaged his knees from time to time, looking like he hadn't recovered yet.
Since Elizabeth does not know about the Equality Society and is willing to stop interfering in the private affairs of the Thomas family, Verak does not have to escape in advance, and he will have more time to make Fletcher suffer.
Only Verak was the only one in the Thomas family. After enjoying dinner, everyone went about their own private affairs as usual, and Verak also returned to the room to rest.
Too many things happened today, which made him unable to calm down for a long time.
One is Colin's brotherhood. The second is revenge against Fletcher. The third is Chris and Elizabeth.
In the cold, Colin's brotherhood, Chris, and Elizabeth's love seemed so precious, which deeply touched Verak.
He knew that he couldn't be soft-hearted or hesitant in such a dangerous situation, but he still couldn't help but have an unspeakable thought.
So many people in the Equality Association are fighting for equality, dignity, and rights for people like him at the expense of their lives.
