"Oh, you two are here!" Dylan Johnson retracted his amiable demeanor, greeting Erwin and Frederick. But it only took a bit of observance to see the confusion in Dylan's eyes.
Everyone agreed to ignore Dylan Johnson's strangeness, Franky stood up, smiling: "Erwin, long time no see. I heard Dylan say, you can talk normally again."
Erwin nodded then walked over to give Franky a hug. "Yes, also with the help of Dylan and the doctors."
Franky didn't answer, just said: "Hurry and sit down here. I don't know what the two of you like to eat so we order according to my taste."
"No problem." Frederick pulled out a chair for Erwin, waited for him to sit down, then continued: “We are not picky. You and Dylan can choose whatever menu they want!"
Dylan took the initiative to call the waiter to remind them that they could bring the food up. At the dinner time, Dylan actively helped Franky cut the meat, and Erwin couldn't help but stutter. He and Frederick had never done that before. Maybe it was because he and Frederick weren't too sensitive to matters of love like this.
Dylan teased: "Not being a little gallant, Frederick?" As he spoke, he jerked his chin towards Erwin. What that means, Frederick understood. He hesitated a bit, but then looked at Erwin anyway. He saw the teasing in Erwin's eyes and turned his head away.
A plate of neatly cut steak appeared before his eyes. Erwin exchanged plates for two people, he smiled: "Let me do it, you can taste it!"
Erwin and Frederick used to date many times in Sophia, the typical dishes here, both of them have tasted. Frederick spread some sauce over the beef, then brought it to his mouth to taste. Still the familiar taste, the beef is soft and sweet, and through the processing process, it still retains the original flavor of the beef.
Franky has left home for a long time, but he still keeps the habit of not talking when eating. So on the dining table, only the sound of knives and forks remained, but it was also very quiet, almost quiet. Erwin wasn't used to it, in the past, every time he went out to eat with Frederick, the two of them talked very happily. Now he saw Frederick's serious and impassive look and suddenly realized how perhaps Frederick had previously acquiesced to his will.
It wasn't until dessert was served that the table became more comfortable. At least for Erwin. Dylan suddenly spoke up: "I just visited my teacher the other day."
Suddenly, Dylan mentioned Tom, and Frederick suddenly remembered his meeting not long ago with him. At that time, Frederick told Dylan, he also said that he did not dare to visit the teacher. Who would have thought that not long ago, Dylan had already gone to country Z?
“I thought you were afraid to meet Tom?” Frederick smiled slightly and asked.
Dylan rubbed his nose, and he sighed: "It's true that I was afraid to meet him. But…"
At this point, Dylan looked at Franky James again, even the blind could see his feelings for Franky. Franky wasn't shy, he continued Dylan.
“Dylan wanted to take me to where he studied all these years.” Franky slowly recounted the time when he went to country Z.
Dylan Johnson really has many ideas to pursue other people, he leads Franky to the ideal dating location of Z country couples. Then let Franky feel his previous life, so he again take him to the university I used to attend.
It's just that Dylan Johnson didn't expect when the two of them were walking around the campus, Professor Tom appeared behind them. At this meeting, Dylan could not avoid being taught by Tom once. But also after that meeting, it seems that Franky's attitude has softened with him much more.
After lunch, the four were planning to go to an exhibition together, but Erwin suddenly received a text message. Frederick saw Erwin's footsteps stop, he leaned over and asked in a low voice.
"What happened?"
Four people were lined up to enter the door now, only a few turns to go, but Erwin pulled on Frederick's sleeve again.
"Go home and talk, okay?" Erwin's voice was very calm, but the calmer it was, the more insecurity in Frederick's heart rose.
Frederick nodded, "Okay, let me talk to Dylan and Franky for an hour before we leave."
"Is there something urgent?" Dylan took Franky's hand and turned his head to ask. He was standing in front of Frederick and Erwin, so he had overheard a few sentences just now. Sure enough, Frederick nodded, and Erwin said apologetically, “Sorry, Franky, I wasted your two entrance tickets. Whenever I have free time, Frederick and I will definitely invite you to hang out."
"Hey, don't forget about me!" Dylan voiced his existence.
The four of them said their goodbyes there, Frederick immediately went to the parking garage and then drove the car to pick up Erwin. During the whole ride home, Erwin was silent and didn't say a word, he just kept staring at his phone and didn't let go. Frederick took the time of the red light to reach out and cover Erwin's phone screen.
"Don't keep staring at your phone like that." Frederick's voice was low as if trying to ease the discomfort in Erwin's heart. "You'll get motion sickness!"
Erwin smiled slightly, but then he followed Frederick off the phone and sat up straight. Frederick seemed very pleased with this, so when he returned home, the first thing Frederick did was give Erwin a deep kiss. It wasn't until their breathing became heavy that the two separated.
Frederick and Erwin went upstairs together, and then Erwin opened the computer. Frederick looked at the content in the email, his heart was like someone was choking. He frowned and grabbed Erwin's hand.
"I'm ok." Erwin took Frederick's hand again. Indeed, he still felt fine. The person who feels sad here should be the owner of this body. Unfortunately, he is no longer in this world.
Erwin Wilson is not actually Ciara Wilson's biological son, nor is he the biological son of Andy Wilson. In a way, Erwin was not related by blood to the two of them. It's just that no one knows this fact. That year, Ciara Wilson became pregnant with her first child. But in the seventh month, she gave birth prematurely, the baby was born but did not live. At that moment, Andy Wilson's father brought a baby, from which everyone considered Erwin Wilson to be Andy Wilson's dead eldest son.
Initially, Ciara Wilson and Andy Wilson both loved Erwin, they considered him their child. Not long after that, Ciara became pregnant again, and she gave birth to Hein. Adopted children were, of course, never equal to their own, but at that time they didn't hate Erwin enough to take advantage of him. They just ignored Erwin.
Then, Andy Wilson's father suddenly gave all the shares of the company to Erwin, on the condition that Erwin turned eighteen. At that time, Andy Wilson was indignant, immediately looking for his father to question him, not knowing how the conversation was going. Erwin only learned that, after that day, Andy Wilson changed his attitude towards him.
From truly loving, to ignoring and not caring, and finally to a fake. Erwin has had enough, in less than ten years of his childhood. In the document, Erwin also understands why Andy Wilson's father did so.
Erwin was originally the son of the Lionard family, who was also the former co-founder of the company with Andy Wilson's father. But then, the two of them had a dispute, Wilson immediately used tricks to kick Lionard out of the company, taking shares in his hand. Leonard hated it but could not do anything, in the years that followed, he followed Wilson's company closely, until much later.
Leonard married and had children very late, and it was not until he was fifty that he had Erwin. But while traveling with his wife, Leonard got into a traffic accident. That accident took the wife he loved the most, right when their son was only two months old.
Leonard was seriously injured, he had no relatives or family to rely on, and he didn't want his son to be in an orphanage. So his last choice was to contact Wilson, who had worked with him.
Leonard uses the secrets he can monitor, as a condition of exchange with Wilson, wanting him to take care of his son. At that time, Andy and his wife had just given birth prematurely, and the baby could not live, so Wilson hit his son intentionally. Just like that, Erwin was brought home to Andy Wilson, becoming his son. More than twenty years have passed, and many things cannot be investigated clearly and in detail.
Perhaps doing too many bad things, at the end of his life, Wilson felt guilty, eventually compensating Leonard by giving all the shares in his hand to his son. Maybe Wilson felt that doing so could comfort some of the guilt in his heart. Or maybe, Wilson thought, his son and daughter could easily get the shares back in Erwin's hands.
That's right, Erwin Wilson was raised like a waste. He is stupid, easy to trust people, and easy to deceive to the point of anger. Because of the lack of love, Erwin chooses to believe and love those who are not worthy to love. Like Hein Wilson and Egbert Smith.
Erwin once again sighed at the fate of the owner of this body. Originally, he could live comfortably in the love of his parents, but fate made him an orphan. His father, Erwin, didn't know what to say, because he had made the wrong decision.
Dead people are like lights out, Erwin has no right to judge Leonard's actions.
