Shirley looked at Edward with a smile and said with a smile, she understood the feeling very well.

If you don't love someone, reject it as early as possible. This may be the best result for everyone. The longer it is delayed, the feelings will become hateful as time goes by.

She didn't want this, let alone let her relationship with Edward change.

So it's best to say no now.

If one day he could figure it out, in the vast sky, they could chat like they did in school.

It has nothing to do with romance, just sincerity.

"Edward, I don't want to lie to you. I know the pain of not being able to love. I also understand that love is the most difficult thing to force and the most in need of fate. I don't love you, so there is no need to force it. You should also be very fond of it."

You understand, don't you?" Shirley said again, looking at Edward, "I don't care what you think, but I want to tell you that no matter what happens, you are my senior and will not change."

After a pause, she raised her hand and looked at her watch. It was almost time. If it was any later, she might not be able to catch the plane.

"It's getting late. It's time for me to leave. You and Alice, please take care of yourself. As a father, you have given Alice a lot of love, but you must also pay attention to communicating with your children. Alice has not had a mother since she was a child. She

You can't imagine how fragile and sensitive her heart is. So you should pay more attention to her emotional changes."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shirley turned around and walked out.

Edward stood there, watching the sunlight shining on that back, which looked particularly bright, but it hurt his eyes so much.

It was as if even his sunshine had left with the departure of that figure.

It wasn't until he heard the sound of a car starting outside that he confirmed that his sunshine was gone.

The sunlight under the branches shone down and fell on his face, bringing with it a hint of sadness. He raised his lips slightly and suddenly laughed.

He actually never told Shirley that Alice was not his daughter at all, and he never got married and had children.

Alice was just an abandoned baby he picked up when passing by the hospital. Because he didn't want Alice to live in the shadow of being abandoned by her parents, he said that he was her biological father.

That's why she doesn't have a mother.

"Shirley, you have never really looked back at me, and you have never looked at me seriously. But again, who cares about what happens to people you don't like and don't care about? You are never afraid, either.

It won’t hurt me, but I’m not afraid that I will be sad.”

The words are full of sadness.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sun set in the west and the afterglow fell, sparsely and mottled shadows were scattered all over the place.

"If this is what you want, I will grant it to you. From now on, I will not bother you again."

At this moment, Alice ran down from upstairs and saw Edward standing there, but did not see Shirley and the baby. She reached out and took Edward's hand, "Dad, where are Aunt Shirley and my brother?

Did they leave? Will they come back?"

Edward ignored Alice and just stared blankly into the distance.

It wasn't until Alice cried when she got no response that he realized what he was doing. He knelt down, looked at his crying daughter, and comforted her, "Aunt Shirley has something at home. She has gone back."
