Chapter 1522 Most of the things you think are evil are lonely
This long-awaited dinner with the whole family was unexpectedly harmonious.
Edward is still as humorous as ever, and his son Will is no longer as impatient as he used to be.
The dinner ended with warmth and occasional laughter.
The next day, Will pushed the shopping cart while his mother checked the shopping list. At the fruit and vegetable aisle, Sandra bagged beans.
Will suddenly asked: "Mom, do you think you understand Dad?"
Sandra said without any hesitation: "Of course."
Will asked with some uncertainty: I mean, do you really know what's going on in his mind?"
Sandra remained firm and said without hesitation: "Yes!"
Will couldn't believe it: "How is that possible? You ask him a question and it suddenly turns into another story of his. To be honest, you can't say you understand him."
Sandra looked at her son and said: "No, Will, I do understand. Don't draw such arbitrary conclusions about things you don't know."
She wasn't really angry, just ridiculous, but Will was heading into danger.
Sandra continued: "So do you think you know Josephine?"
Will nodded: "Yes. But these are two different things..."
Sandra shook her head: "No, it's the same thing. Exactly the same. Your father and I met, got to know each other, and then got married. We chose each other because on some fundamental level, we understand each other, just like you and Joseph
Like Fin."
She continued picking carrots as she spoke.
"Josephine and I have a lot in common," Will said.
Sandra laughed: "Yeah, you all think Will Bloom is a very smart man. The problem is that you only regard me as your mother, not someone else's wife. I have been his wife for longer than
Being your mother takes a long time, you can't deny that."
Will nodded: "That's true. But I've known him since birth, and I still feel like I don't understand him at all."
Sandra said seriously: "I know it's not easy. Remember, he didn't choose to be your father, and you didn't choose to be his son. You just got together naturally. If you ask me, I would say parents
It’s a miracle that you and your children can tolerate each other.”
Will: "But I know you, Mom. I've always known you."
Sandra: "Obviously you don't know enough. However, I am not the mystery you want to solve right now."
They made their purchases and came to the checkout counter.
Sandra handed the cashier her shopping coupon. Will came over with a copy of Newsweek.
In front of another checkout counter, a charming blond woman in her 50s was taking back her change. Although she and Sandra were the same age, she looked much younger, wearing jeans and sneakers.
She happened to catch Will's eye as he passed by, then watched him walk to Sandra. It was hard to read her expression: did she know him, or did she just find him charming?
Will noticed someone staring at him, and the woman happened to turn her face.
Will racked his brain and wondered, did he know this woman?
Sandra suddenly realized: "I almost forgot, there are some documents of your father in the basement, you go and take a look. I don't know which ones are important."
Will was a little distracted by the woman: "Mom, do you know that blond woman?"
Sandra looked over. After a while, the woman turned her face intentionally or unintentionally, and found that Will and Sandra were both looking at her. She smiled, and then pushed the shopping cart away.
Sandra asked confused: "Is she your teacher?"
Will was also very surprised: "No. But it's strange, she seems to know me."
Sandra said to the cashier: "Do you know who she is?"
The cashier turned to look, but only saw her silhouette as she left.
The cashier shook his head: "I've never seen it before, it's very beautiful."
This suspense left the audience a little confused. Who is that person?
It unnaturally makes people think about it, and some people can't help but think of Jenny in Edward's story, or the figure in the water.
Of course, at this moment, they cannot solve this mystery.
The camera returns to Edward's home.
A portable fan sat whirring in the corner. The volume of the radio on the bedside table was turned low and a sports program was playing. Edward lay on his back on the bed with his eyes closed.
Josephine gently lowered the curtains. She turned off the radio, startling Edward, who was not completely asleep.
Edward greeted in a teasing tone: "Hello."
Josephine smiled: "How do you feel?"
Edward thought for a moment and said, "I was dreaming just now."
Josephine asked curiously: "What did you dream about?"
He tried to remember, but couldn't. Josephine asked if she could sit on the bed. He nodded.
Edward said: "I can't always remember a dream unless it is ominous. Do you know what omen means?"
Josephine shook her head.
Edward explained: "It means that what you dream about will happen. For example, one night, I dreamed that a crow flew over and told me: "Your aunt is dying." I was frightened and quickly woke up my parents. They
He reassured me that it was just a dream and went to bed. But the next morning, my aunt Stacy was dead."
Josephine was a little surprised but still said: "It's so unfortunate."
Edward: "Unfortunately, it's my aunt. But think about me, I have that kind of super power at a young age. Within three weeks, the crow came to me again in my dream and said: "Your grandpa is going to hurry up."
Dead." Oh, I immediately ran to my parents. My father said, it's impossible, my grandpa is still fine. However, I could feel my father's fear. Sure enough, my grandpa died the next morning."
He sat up slightly and cheered up.
He continued: "For the next few weeks, I had no dreams. Until one night, the crow came to me again and told me: "Your father is dying." I didn't know what to do. But in the end I told me
Father. He said, don't worry, but he seemed very panicked. The next day, he seemed to be a different person, looking around constantly, afraid that something would hit his head.
Because the crow didn't tell me how my father died, he just said: Your father is dying. That day my father went to the city early and stayed for a long time. When he finally came back, he looked terrible, as if he had been waiting all day
When the ax fell, he said to my mother, "Oh my God, I've had the worst day of my life."
"You think you're the only one who's having a bad time," my mother said. "The milkman fell on the porch this morning, dead!"
Josephine smiled slightly, and Edward smiled too.
Josephine asked: "Can I take your picture?"
Edward shook his head and said seriously: "You don't need a photo. Just look up the word "handsome" in the dictionary."
Josephine smiled: "Please."
Edward rolled his eyes, why not?
Josephine left and went downstairs to get her camera.
Josephine's voice came: "Let me show you some wedding photos. There is a photo of you and my father. The photo is very good. I developed an extra photo."
Edward grimaced, feeling a twinge of pain. In the presence of others, he endured the pain, but when he was alone, one could see how serious his condition was.
He controlled his breathing and tried to get through it.
Josephine's voice came again: "I want to see your wedding photos, but I haven't seen any of them yet!"
She came back with the camera. Edward smiled, hiding his pain.
Edward: "That's because we didn't hold a formal wedding. Your mother-in-law didn't plan to marry me. She was engaged to another person."
Josephine said as she loaded the film, "I don't know."
Edward asked, "Will didn't tell you?"
She shook her head!
"That's fine. If he tells it, it will only be the dry facts. He won't add any exaggeration." Edward said with a smile.
Josephine was obviously interested: "Oh, then this is a long story?"
Edward nodded: "Well, it's not short."
Edward smiled evilly. The camera moved forward and focused on the rotating fan blades.
The rotating fan blades gradually turned into a rotating windmill.
It was held by a little boy. He rode on his father's shoulders, and the father and son walked towards the circus tent.
The audience all understood this scene. The little boy is Will and the father is Edward.
What follows is the continuation of the fantasy journey of Edward and Carl the Giant.
They encountered a second-rate circus.
Carl the Giant joined the circus, even if he signed an unreasonable contract!
Edward didn't, until he met the girl he was destined for.
She was wearing a blue dress and a blue hat. For some reason, she looked back at Edward.
The two people's eyes met, and all movements froze.
A flaming short stick stopped turning halfway, and the flames no longer continued to burn. A box of scattered popcorn stopped in mid-air, like flakes of snowflakes. Even the tired elephant temporarily stopped breathing.
Only Edward moved freely, meandering among the frozen objects, getting closer and closer to the girl.
Edward's voiceover sounded: "They say time stops when you meet the love of your life. That's true. But what they didn't tell me was that once time starts moving again, it will move extremely fast."
Suddenly, everything rushed forward. The crowd blurred and the girl quickly disappeared. Now it was Edward's turn to stand there, helpless.
Edward lay by the car window and looked in, looking for his destined girl. When the girl was not found, he became frantic.
The owner of the circus knew about the girl, but he didn't like Edward and the girl.
And thought they were from two different worlds, but Edward was crazy. In order to know more about the girl, he did not hesitate to work for the circus!
A month's work in exchange for one thing about her.
Although Edward worked hard, even doing dangerous work, sticking his head into the lion's mouth, he worked day and night, and the only motivation that supported him was to meet and get married to that girl.
He even got injured for this.
But he finally got the first thing about her from the circus owner's mouth.
"That girl likes daffodils best."
He often said "daffodils" to himself, as if he had a magical power, and there was a smile on his face.
Fortunately, the boss kept his promise and told him about the new situation of his dream lover every month.
As time went by, Edward continued to work in the circus. When the circus owner told him the girl's information every month, it was his happiest time.
He always keeps thinking about the new news he just got.
"College! She's going to college!"
"Music! She loves music. I love music too!"
He knew a lot about the girl, but he didn't know her name or where to find her. When the time came, Edward felt he couldn't wait any longer.
So he decided to talk to the circus owner.
But instead of seeing the boss, he was chased and bitten by a big dog.
The circus people found out and wanted to shoot the big dog, but Edward blocked the shot. The big dog licked its mouth and approached the helpless Edward step by step. Edward tried to find a weapon on the ground, but he only found a small wooden stick.
He waved the stick at the big dog, intending to hit it with the stick.
As if by magic, the big dog's behavior completely changed. It jumped up and down happily, ready to play the game of baton.
Edward saw the opportunity and threw the stick with all his strength. The big dog jumped up and ran after the stick. It crushed three cars. After a while, it returned with the stick in its mouth and threw the stick at Edward's feet.
The tail wags back and forth.
Edward's voiceover sounded: "That night I discovered that most of the things you think are evil or vicious are lonely and lack the quality of communication."
Edward threw the stick again, and the big dog chased him in a new direction.
Edward was exhausted after throwing the sticks all night. He threw the sticks into the woods, and the big dog, still jumping happily, chased him in. After a long time, he still didn't see the dog coming out, which made Edward worried.
He also went into the woods.
A magical thing happened. It turned out that the big dog was the circus owner Amos, and he was actually a werewolf.
The "big dog" disappeared in the woods, replaced by Amos chewing a stick.
Finally, Edward moved him, and he told him the news about the girl Edward longed for: "I misjudged you as a young man. You may not have money, but what you have is extremely rich. You are worthy of any girl."
Edward said seriously: "I only want one."
Amos said: "Her name is Sandra Templeton, and she is studying at Auburn University. The semester is almost over, and you have to hurry up."
"Thanks!"
At this moment, the audience understood that the girl was Edward's current wife and Will's mother, Sandra!
Amos looked at the direction Edward left: "Good luck to you, young man."
Edward walked away and started running. He had to get to O'Byrne as quickly as possible.
Amos sat down and scratched his ears with his feet.
Edward left, saying goodbye to his old friend the giant Carl, and he was going to find his beloved dream girl.
What kind of story does he have with her?
Why did they get together without a wedding?
All of this successfully aroused the curiosity of the audience!
