Even if you kill Daniell, I&#8217;m not surprised.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Then I picked up the pink leopard that I was going to put down before and carried it into the guest bedroom.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean chased in and grabbed one arm of the pink panther.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I hugged the pink panther tightly, and we two froze.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As soon as he pulled, the pink panther&#8217;s arm broke!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I fell to the ground.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean stepped forward and held me on the ground. &#8220;Are you ok?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   His tone and eyes were full of worry.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I watched him for a moment in a trance.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He seemed to really care about me.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But when I thought about what he said yesterday that he couldn&#8217;t leave Molly in his whole life, I felt like I was awakened by a slap in the face.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I struggled out of his arms and said coldly, &#8220;thank President Jessop for caring about me. I&#8217;m fine.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I got up and picked up the pink leopard arm he had thrown into the ground. I picked up its body and spliced them.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Fortunately, the place where the fracture occurred was the joint. I could sew them with thread.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean looked at me for a long time and said in a hoarse voice, &#8220;do you like this? Then I can buy you a room of it.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I thought of what he said yesterday.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He didn&#8217;t give up Molly, but he used this way to tease me.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Maybe out of revenge, I held the pink leopard and said to him, &#8220;I don&#8217;t like the pink leopard, but I like this.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I didn&#8217;t go on.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But Sean was so smart that he should understand.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean&#8217;s face suddenly cooled. &#8220;June, don&#8217;t forget what&#8217;s written on our marriage agreement. You can&#8217;t associate with other men!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Really? I have no ambiguity with him. We are friends.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I said it word by word.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;OK.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   That night, Sean and I were angry and didn&#8217;t sleep together.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The next morning, I got a lot of messages from Molly.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Molly&#8217;s phone had long been blacklisted by me. She couldn&#8217;t call me and she could only text me.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I took a look at the contents of the messages. She was scolding me. She seemed to have found out that I had a house. She thought it was from Sherry.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She cursed me desperately.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I thought she was convinced Sean wouldn&#8217;t leave her, so she was so arrogant.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I collected these messages after reading them.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I walked out of my bedroom and heard a sound in the master bathroom. Sean is up.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Maybe I was used to it. I baked two loaves of bread. The porridge which was made regularly yesterday had been made.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I had breakfast. When I left, Sean just came out of the bedroom.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I left without speaking to him.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Actually, I didn&#8217;t have to work today, but I didn&#8217;t want to see Sean.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I had nowhere to go outside and suddenly wanted to visit the children in the orphanage.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I went to the orphanage by car.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It was the same as when Sean and I came. The children were very happy in their new home.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Several children were playing basketball on the basketball court.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I went in and the old Dean came out.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I exchanged greetings with him and told him that I had a rest today. The old Dean said casually, &#8220;if you are free, you can also come here to do volunteer work. Although there is no money for you, you can eat.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   His words woke me up and I agreed on the spot.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I had been with the children all day.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   There were children of all ages in the orphanage. I was mainly playing with three or four year olds today.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Looking at them, I couldn&#8217;t help thinking that if my child was still alive, he should be one and a half years old now.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When I left, I agreed with the dean that I would come to accompany the children every Tuesday and Wednesday.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   After that, my life went on as usual.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Although Sean and I had been living together, we seldom talked.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   One Wednesday, when I got to the orphanage on time, I saw Sean&#8217;s car parked there. He stood at the gate.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He saw me approaching and asked me, &#8220;you would rather come here than get along with me, would you?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I would rather come here? I&#8217;m happy here.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I didn&#8217;t ask him how he knew I was here because I knew it was easy for him.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I ignored him and wanted to go in.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But what I didn&#8217;t expect was that Sean followed me and said, &#8220;I&#8217;m free today. I&#8217;ll be with you.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I thought he misunderstood what I was here to do. I kindly reminded him, &#8220;President Jessop, I&#8217;m not here to visit. I&#8217;m here to volunteer.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I know.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean&#8217;s face was expressionless when he spoke.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Obviously, he didn&#8217;t get it wrong.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I spent the whole day with the younger children. I occasionally came out to see Sean take off the status of president of the Giant group and play basketball with older children.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   At lunch, I took some children to the restaurant.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I saw a group of boys around Sean listening to his story. They listened very carefully.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I went over and heard him say a story instead of a truth.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I watched Sean surrounded by a group of children. I was a little confused.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   What did he want to do?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He touched me but hurt me again and again.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   What did he want to do?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   At the end of the night, Sean and I left the orphanage. In the car I asked him, &#8220;what do you want to do?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Do what I want to do.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Just a few words.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Not for me?&#8221; I didn&#8217;t dare to look at him when I was sitting in the copilot&#8217;s seat. &#8220;What you did moved me and made me think you liked me. But what you are really doing makes me despair.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The next second, I heard the answer that confused me.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;What I want to do is to get close to you, stay with you and be with you.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   What he said left me at a loss.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I turned to look at him. He was driving and didn&#8217;t look at me, but his eyes were firm.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I had some illusions as if what he said is true.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He liked me.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But when I thought of Molly, I found myself ridiculous.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I looked down. &#8220;Sean, you have Molly. You can never move me.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I was lying.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I was moved by him.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But I dared not to be moved by him.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As I lowered my head, a big palm came into my sight. He grabbed my hand on my leg. I heard Sean say, &#8220;I&#8217;ll deal with this. Don&#8217;t worry.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I couldn&#8217;t believe my ears. I looked at him and asked, &#8220;you say that again?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   \u0004\u0004\u0004\u0004<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He said that again!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He said he would destroy the orphanage before.
