Chapter 266: She Did Not Dare To Die for Love

Margaret moved closer to Orlenna and whispered, “Mom, don’t you think that my marriage is so hasty?”

“It seems that I am not precious, no?”

In the past, Orlenna might have listened to Margaret’s opinion or she would have directly glared at her and driven her outside.

However, this time, Orlenna looked at Margaret solemnly.

That kind of solemn and complicated gaze that seemed to be a warning and entrusting made Margaret suddenly startled.

She said guiltily, “Mom, what do you want to do?”

“Margaret, don’t be willful. Since you and Julian have already been engaged, getting married is just a matter of time. Rather than waiting for everything is ok, now it would be better.”

Orlenna did not speak clearly because of the presence of Julian. She did not want him to know the situation of the Anderson family at this time.

Orlenna smiled and said, “Now it is the most suitable time for you and the Anderson family.”

It seemed that Margaret understood Orlenna’s words, but not totally.

The marriage between the Anderson family and the Jorgansen family could temporarily stabilize the situation of the Anderson family, which would be beneficial to them, but Orlenna said that it would also be beneficial to Margaret.

Margaret did not understand. What would she gain when she turned from a rich and powerful daughter to a lady?

Moreover, she felt that in the Jorgansen family she wouldn’t be relaxed like before.

Margaret was very unwilling, but as the daughter of the Anderson family, when the Anderson family was in such a difficult time, even if she was not satisfied, she could not act too excessively.

Now it couldn’t find the body of Bruce, but what if her brother came back after a while?

Although Margaret knew that this hope was very slim, she thought that her brother was still alive. Maybe she had recently heard this thought too much from Hilla.

“Mom, you’re right. I’ll listen to you!”

Even though she was reluctant, Margaret still did not dare to resist in front of Orlenna.

Seeing that she was so obedient, sensible, but aggrieved, Orlenna suddenly felt sad

and uncomfortable.

The depression that had just been suppressed for the past few days suddenly surged out again.

If it wasn’t for Julian, she probably wouldn’t have wanted to endure her emotions. “In the future, Margaret will have to rely on the Jorgansen family.”

Orlenna gazed at Julian. She was no longer as domineering as last time. Instead, she had a heavy mood and pled in a low voice, “Since you want to marry her, you will treat her well, no?”

Julian was sure that if nothing had happened to the Anderson family, Orlenna must have ordered him.

But now, the attitude had completely changed. “Since I marry Margaret, I have to treat her well.”

Julian’s attitude was still very modest. In front of Orlenna, he always placed himself in the position of a junior. He was respectful but not humble.

And now, the Jorgansen family was even more unnecessary to be humble in front of the Anderson family.

Orlenna pursed her lips. Although she could not completely believe this young man, at this time when the Anderson family reached a difficult point, he was still willing to fulfill the engagement. She did not expect it, so she would be grateful for him.

Seeing it, Margaret knew that she would have to marry this time.

For the Anderson family, for Anderson’s company, for her mother and sister-in-law, and two nephews, she was about to marry in the Jorgansen family.

Now, she could only pray for the Anderson family to recover early so that she could quickly divorce this man.

“I only have this one daughter. I’ll hand her over to you now. If you don’t treat her well, even if the Anderson family tries our best, we’ll still demand an explanation.”

Margaret did not expect that Orlenna would say such words to Julian in such a strong tone in the end.

They knew that it was difficult for the Anderson family to protect themselves, so how could they provoke the Jorgansen Group?

Margaret suddenly felt a little sad and moved. Her mother loved her and could not bear to see her suffer in the Jorgansen family.

But even so, she still had to marry.

At first, Margaret still had some complaints, but now when she heard Orlenna’s words, she didn’t.

Sacrifice for the Anderson family was what the children of the Anderson family

should do, just like the ancient Princess, to protect her country and people to go out and get married.

Although describing herself as a Princess was not suitable, she was still the daughter of a rich family.

If Bruce was here, their wealth would be comparable to that of a country.

“Don’t worry, Madam. I will take good care of Margaret.

“If I don’t treat her well, you can take her away from me at any time.”

Julian said with a serious face, so Orlenna felt more relieved.

But Margaret could not help but snort.

This man had a lot of tricks. At this point, he still hadn’t forgotten to dig a hole for her family.

It was obvious that when he wanted to return the goods, he was going to let Orlenna take her away.

She was not a bag or shoes bought from the store. He couldn’t return her as he wanted.

Even if she was an item, it was still a high-end item. He wouldn’t change it if he didn’t return it.

Time flew quickly.

The marriage of the Anderson family and the Jorgansen was imminent.

Margaret fell into a period of fear of marriage because she was about to get married.

Every day, she would talk with Hilla and Halle for a long time, “I’m about to enter the Jorgansen family’s demon cave. When I think that the Jorgansen will be my surname, I feel heartache.”

“It is too unpleasant to hear!”

Halle couldn’t help but smile when she saw her frowning, aggrieved, and powerless appearance on the bed.

“I think this surname is quite good. We know Mr. Jorgansen. His character and personality are very good. I think you are very compatible.”

Halle knew that Hilla and Julian grew up learning martial arts together, and they got along well in the past.

However, she understood that Hilla was focused on the Anderson family and Bruce who had not returned.

Even if Bruce did not come back, Hilla would not have any thoughts of being with Julian.

They had regarded their childhood feelings as a simple friendship. She felt that this was also quite good. Each had their own lives and did not disturb each other. They

were still friends when they met.

But it was unexpected that the one who would marry Julian would be Margaret.

“A perfect match? Where?”

Margaret had a fierce look, which frightened Halle.

She asked, “Do you have any misunderstandings about Mr. Jorgansen? Or do you have any conflicts? Why do I feel like you hate him?”

If it was annoying, why did Margaret not object to the engagement between the two families?

Margaret secretly glanced at Hilla who was drawing on the bed and lowered her head guiltily.

She had approached Julian for Hilla.

Moreover, she had always regarded Julian as Hilla’s adulterer. How could he be her husband?

…

Margaret had a lot of resentment towards this marriage, but there was nothing she could do.

For the sake of the Anderson family, she could only be obedient and wait to marry!

Seeing that she was sensible and didn’t make any noise, and Halle always accompanied Hilla, Orlenna felt relieved.

So she focused on the Anderson Group and the marriage of Margaret.

In order to not let people see any clues about the marriage between the two families, Orlenna attached a lot of importance to Margaret’s marriage.

She had already gone out with Margaret to buy things.

Halle brought Emily to accompany Hilla. Emily was already two years old, and she could speak a little.

“Eat melons.”

Emily held the apple she got and stuffed it into Hilla’s hand.

“Are you going to give it to me?”

Hilla stopped the paintbrush and was stunned for a moment.

Emily nodded with a serious expression. Then she pointed at her mouth, “I also eat.”

Hilla couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “It looks like you want to eat it.”

Hilla got up and went downstairs to the kitchen with the apple.

Halle came out of the bathroom and saw Emily standing alone by the bed, playing with Hilla’s paint.

The little girl was very happy with colorful things. Seeing the beautiful boxes, she took them and set up a variety of mini-towers.

Halle didn’t see Hilla and was stunned.

Without any special circumstances, Hilla wouldn’t leave.

She had just come out of the bathroom. Halle’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t dare to think too much, so she quickly pulled Emily aside and asked, “Where is aunt?”

Emily looked around. She also felt a little strange, “None?”

The aunt who was still here just now had disappeared, and Emily also was curious.

Hilla disappeared.

Halle felt worried. She ignored Emily in the room and quickly ran downstairs.

“Hilla? Hilla?”

Halle shouted in the Anderson family’s hall as she walked downstairs.

Hearing Halle’s voice, Hilla came out of the kitchen, holding a fruit knife that hadn’t finished cutting the apple.

“Halle!”

As soon as Hilla spoke, Halle saw Hilla standing at the door of the kitchen with a fruit knife. She was so frightened that her face turned pale.

“Hilla, what are you doing? How can you be so stupid? Even without Bruce, you still have the children. You can live a comfortable life in the Anderson family. With these two children, none of them dare to bully you.

“Even if the Anderson family doesn’t be rich in the future, you still have me. Emily also lives a good life without her father, no? We can have a good life with the studio. Why do you want to do it?”

Hilla was stunned at Halle’s excitement and hysteria.

After a long time did she realized that Halle was staring at her hand while she held a knife.

“Halle, you misunderstood. I just want to cut an apple for Emily.”

Hilla said with a smile.

If Bruce didn’t come back, she can live well with her children in the Anderson family.

She wouldn’t commit suicide.

Halle brought Emily up by herself and she lived well. So there was nothing and she could live well.

Hilla found that everyone could live without anybody. She could live without Bruce, and if Bruce left her, he could live too.

Halle felt relief and stepped forward to take the knife from Hilla.

“Aren’t there servants at home? It’s fine to let them do this. You don’t have to do this.

“Don’t forget that you are pregnant now. It’s dangerous to hold a knife.”

Halle still had fears, and couldn’t help but complain to Hilla.

Hilla, who was at the side, didn’t say anything and listened quietly.

She still had relatives by her side and the children in her belly. She still had many things in this world that she could not part with.

If Bruce was dead, she did not even dare to die for love. She still had her nostalgia for this world.

Did she not love Bruce enough?

Hilla sometimes felt very sad and lonely, but sometimes she looked at her children and felt that she was not the most miserable. She should live.

However, no matter how many reasons she gave herself, she always believed that Bruce would come back.

…

In the night of the Deep City.

In a very shabby old apartment, the lights in the room lit up.

A young girl stood at the door carrying a large bag full of shopping supplies. She then changed out of her pink slippers and talked to the person in the room.

“There’s someone at home, but no one turned on the lights for me. You know how to save electricity for me.

“I am so pitiful. There’s a man at home, but I have to carry such heavy things.

“How are you going today? You’ve been sleeping for the whole day. It’s time for you to work. I just got off work and I’m almost exhausted. That unscrupulous manager asked me to work overtime again.”

Lori put down the things in her hand, turned around, and chattered as she walked inside.

This was a one-bedroom apartment.

There was a small shoe rack at the door, next to it was the kitchen, and then there was a bathroom less than 32 square feet. There was a partition in the room for a big bed. The whole room was less than 210 square feet.

But to be able to rent this kind of old and small shabby apartment alone, for Lori it was already very good.

Lori walked to the bedside, looked at the man who was still sleeping quietly on the bed, and sighed slightly.

“You can’t stay in the hospital anymore. I can only bring you home. It’s not that I don’t want to treat you. I have already spent all my money and tried my best, understand?

“Besides, Mr. Dowall and Mr. Garnett have already said that your illness is not something that can be cured with money. It is a pity that you are still so good-looking but a vegetable.

“I don’t know how long I can take care of you, but I will feel more courage when a man is at home. However, I feel awkward and embarrassed when you sleep beside me every night.”

Lori said with a slightly red face, and then lowered her head.

She rubbed the corner of her clothes with the shyness of a young girl.

However, she quickly added, “But I didn’t take advantage of you. My brother changed your clothes and wiped you. I am a girl. I will not have such dirty thoughts!”

Lori muttered. Fortunately, this apartment was not far away from their orphanage.

There were many children in the orphanage. Many of them grew up with her and lived in this old apartment.

“But I feel at ease with you around!”

After all, there was a man in the house. However, she did not know when this man would wake up and whether he would leave after waking up.

And who was he?
