Chapter 185: Chapter 147 This time, she did not refuse 1
"But..." Faye Townsend bit her lip: "It’s really getting late."
"A little while won’t make a difference." He poured her a glass of wine and handed it over.
After hesitating for a moment, Faye accepted it. He casually turned on the device, chose a movie, and the two sat closely together, each lost in their own thoughts.
"It was Uncle Forrest’s idea to have Richard marry that girl, wasn’t it?"
Faye took a gentle sip of her wine and nodded, remembering Uncle Forrest’s words from earlier in the day.
He had said that a man like Richard, who is in his thirties yet unable to stand on his own, is only so because he has not yet met someone for whom he is willing to give his all in protection.
If such a person were to appear, then he might change.
Just like how she herself, back in the day, would go to any lengths for love.
Uncle Forrest said that the Townsend family all have this stubbornness and twist about emotions.
Her parents had not had a smooth journey either when they were together.
But in the end, they were unwaveringly committed, unable to live together, yet dying together.
Richard is his father’s child, Uncle Forrest said, with his father’s temperament meaning he wouldn’t raise too problematic a child.
It is merely that Richard has grown too accustomed to defiance over the years; he no longer knows how to live a normal life.
So, if that girl could change Richard, it would believe it would be a good thing.
Additionally... they are all adults now; the father has two children, but there is only one company.
If the woman Richard ends up with proves too difficult, she might become Faye’s hidden enemy in the future, causing discord between the Townsend siblings.
Enemies are the last thing she needs now, so, she must find a sister-in-law she can control.
And this Eliana Brooke would be a fine choice.
Initially, her visit to see Eliana was merely out of a sense of apology.
But unexpectedly, upon meeting her, she was profoundly shocked.
She does not aspire to gain the company or any other objective, but she wants Richard to truly better himself.
According to Eldorian traditional beliefs, Richard is truly the foundation of the Townsend family.
"Do you think... a man can really change himself for a woman?"
There was a hint of hope in Faye’s eyes as she looked at him.
Hunter Warren looked at her and smirked: "Aren’t I a perfect example?
Actually, if Richard can truly experience a heartfelt romance, perhaps he could change."
"You?" Faye looked at him and laughed speechlessly.
He really dared to say.
"Am I not? Now, for you, I wouldn’t blink an eye even if I had to die, believe it?"
Faye pursed her lips and did not respond to him, but after a moment, she asked again: "But what if Richard doesn’t love this girl? Didn’t he just say he doesn’t love that girl?"
"Then there are only two outcomes. One, he doesn’t love her at the start but gradually falls in love, then all is well. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com
The other is that no matter how many years pass, he still cannot truly connect with this girl, then... the greatest tragedy would only be for that girl.
Just hope she loses only her body, not her heart too."
Faye’s expression carried a touch of worry; she understood the taste of being weary in body and spirit better than anyone.
"However, Faye, since this was her own decision, you shouldn’t feel too bad.
Marriage inherently has its duality; since you have already advised that girl, there’s nothing for you to feel guilty about.
You can’t be responsible for someone else’s life.
The road is for others to walk step by step on their own."
Faye listened to Hunter Warren’s words, nodded slightly, and no longer spoke.
The two silently stared at the television screen, watching the movie.
Faye intermittently sipped on her red wine.
For two consecutive nights, they had watched movies together. Unexplainably, Faye remembered everything that had happened in the cinema last night.
Her face flushed, and warmth spread through her body in waves.
Hunter Warren turned his head and noticed that her glass was unknowingly empty.
He leaned over to grab the wine bottle to refill her glass.
Seeing her flushed face, he specifically looked at the wine bottle: "Why is your face so red?"
"Hmm, is it? I flush easily when I drink."
Hunter Warren raised an eyebrow: "You didn’t have this issue before."
"Only recently developed it, is that a problem?"
Faye said, turning her head defiantly towards him.
Where does he get so many words from? Not speaking won’t make her mute him.
Being together alone at such a time can be quite awkward, you know?
"Sure, of course, it’s possible."
Hunter Warren finished pouring the wine and leaned back with a smile. Since she didn’t like to hear him talk, he’d really keep silent then.
