Chapter 47

Alright, we'll go then And Scarlett isn't even aware of the danger. The only person that can help them now is...... Vivian sighed. It's not as if Vanessa doesn't have a family. Does she really need to keep staying away? "Why don't you talk with your brother?" Vivian asked. She has a family. It's not as if she doesn't. Vanessa has made a lot of mistakes and she was always making her brother angry but no matter what the both of them are still family. Vivian was sure that as long as both of them are ready to put back what happened in the past they are definitely going to be able to move on. Her brother can help her. Even though he did not say it, Vivian knew that Daniel has been missing his sister a lot. The both of them used to be so close as siblings but because of a worthless man like Ethan, they won't even contact each other. Vivian has been looking for a way for her to resolve this crisis between the brother and sister pair. Now that Ethan is back and he wants to see Scarlett, she was sure that Daniel is going to help his sister. Even if he is still angry and he doesn't want to do it for Vanessa, he would still do it for his neice. After all, she is the most innocent party and she is the one who has suffered the most from all of this conflict. he really won't let Ethan do anything to Scarlett. Vivian was sure of that. He is her husband after all. She knows him the best. She knows that he won't completely abándon Vanessa. As long as she is ready to not be so stubborn and actually come back this time. Vanessa froze when she heard Vivian's words. What is this? For her to talk to her brother.. She wants to do it too. After all, she has realized that the knot people who really cared for her in the last twenty years were her family. Her dead father and her older brother...those people really had her best interest at heart. But she has done so many bad things. Will they even want her? She really did not know how she was going to solve this issue with Daniel. For the past five years, her hands always lingered on his contact on her phone wanting to call him but she never had the courage to do it. Not after she made a to of herself and cut them off for a man that hurt her deeply. "Vivian...don't worry. I'm sure that I'll be able to handle it" Vanessa said. No matter how weak she is, she won't let that man hurt her daughter at all! Her daughter, the only reason that kept her going these years, she won't let there bad man hurt her. She will find a way to keep her daughter safe from that man. Vivian sighed. "Vanessa, I know that a lot of things have happened in the past twenty years and that you haven't talked to your brother at all in such a long time but do you really want to continue like this? Won't you ever stop being this way? I'm sure that as long as you talk to your brother....as long as you take the initiative to contact him, he won't be so harsh on you. Even if you don't want to do it for your pride, you have to at least think of Scarlett. She doesn't know what is going on. You have to protect your daughter" Vivian said. Vanessa frowned when she heard Vivian tell her to let go of her pride. This has nothing to do with pride at all. After all what Ethan did to her, does she still have the right to talk about pride? Her pride was no longer important. It was just that she did not know how exactly she was supposed to face her brother. What should she say? She was the one wrong after all. "It's not about pride Vivian. I just don't know how I'm supposed to face my brother. How do you think that I should do it? After all, they told me a lot of things back then. They tried to stop me from getting involved with Ethan but u refused. I left home and got married to him without thier permission. Even when he left, they asked me to come back home with Scarlett but I was stubborn. Choosing to suffer with her. My dad passed away because I was always annoying him. I'm sure that Daniel hates me. How am I supposed to go back to him?" Vanessa asked. It was too much. She would never do that at all. Vivian sighed when she heard that. It turns out that it wasn't Vanessa's pride keeping her away at all. It was because she was feeling guilty. But does Vanessa really think that her father died because of her? "Listen Vanessa, your father did not die because of you. He was sick and he did not have much time to live on. He was already old. Your brother isn't stupid. There is no way that he is going to blame you for that. You should meet your brother again and talk to him. At a time like this,. Family should be together" Vivian said. All these years, her mission has been to reunite this family that was destroyed. But she has never been able to do it. Now that the opportunity has come in the form of that man Ethan coming back this time, why should she nor grab it? She really wanted them to be together again. Daniel is definitely the one who can help protect Scarlett and Vanessa. Ethan may be rich too now but it was only in a small country like Country M where the number of rich people could be counted on the hand that he could be considered one of the richest men. Daniel isn't a push over either. He won't let anything happen to Scarlett and Vanessa. As long as he wants to protect them, he will be able to protect them. "Do you really think that Daniel wants to see me again?" Vanessa asked. She wasn't sure. She wasn't sure at all. After all, she knew better that anyone else just how many mistakes she had been. She already told herself that there was no way that she will ever be able to make up for the things that she did over the years. "Do you really think that Daniel is stupid? He is definitely going to make up with you. But just to be safe, I'm going to talk to him tonight and sound him out. I'll tell you everything that he tells me tommorow. How does that sound?" Vivian asked. Vanessa felt tears well up in her eyes when she said that. All these years the person that she gave everything for did not even want to have anything to do with her. And the people that she hurt were still true to her. Vivian is even ready to go to such lenghts just to make sure that there was a way that she could he reunited with her brother. "You...why are you so nice to me?" Vanessa asked. "Of course we are best friends. If I'm not nice to you, who will I be nice you?" Vivian asked and the two women smiled. **** Ryder glanced over at Scarlett. Ever since she went to take the breakfast from the hotel staff, she has been in a really bad mood. She has stayed outside for a long time talking to someone. Even though Ryder did not know who she was talking to and what they talked about, he was still able to tell that she was angry because of the conversation that she had with that person. Just what did they talk about that was able to make her this angry? Sometimes, it was really hard to tell what was going on in Scarlett's mind. "Scarlett, who did you talk to when you went to take the breakfast?" Ryder asked. He really could not stand it anymore. Scarlett sulking like this and giving him the dirty eye from time to time. It was really annoying. Scarlett turned to glare at him. Is he finally asking him now? Whose fault is it that she is this angry? "You don't have to mind" she said and snorted. "No. I think that I have to mind. Otherwise I'm going to drown from your anger " Ryder said. He was really starting to worry about himself. If she continued being angry like this then what is he found to do? How is he going to survive? Scarlett sneered. Ha! He is going to drown in her anger? More like he is going to drown in the love of his admires! "Ryder, I really don't care about whatever you do but can you please make sure that those women who want to hit on you can't come to me? I really won't be able to do it! I can't clean up your harem for you!" Scarlett said. She was already this angered just talking to Mira. She felt like she was going to die from anger if she ever went to that auction with her. She can chase after Ryder all she wants but does she really have to annoy her this much? Ryder blinked blankly. He did not know what she was talking about. From the looks of it it seemed that Scarlett was jealous but he did not know what he was jealous about. He knew that he had not done anything to make her angry all through this trip, since that day, he has been trying his best to stay in her good notes. What happened today there was able to make her this angry and jealous? Ryder did not know that there was a way that he could feel happiness and helplessness at the same time but he found that out today. He was happy that she was Jesus because that meant that she cared about him. He was helpless because he did not know how long she was going to ignore him if he did not coax her properly. "What really are you talking about? I haven't done anything" Ryder said with an innocent look. He really did not do anything. Why is he getting blamed now? Scarlett snorted and threw the invitation at him. "Ha! Are you really sure that you did not do anything?" Scarlett asked. Ryder picked up the invitation and read it. He was that it was an auction raising funds for some kids. How was something like this able to make Scarlett angry? He really did not understand the train of her thoughts at all. "I don't understand this" Ryder said. He really did not understand. Can't she just explain to him? Does she felt have to be like this? "Of course you don't understand it. Let me tell you, your Mira, after meeting you once, she fell in love with you terribly. She could not forget about you even though it was only one meeting and now she has chased you all the way to this hotel. Oh, she wants to invite you to the auction. Who knows, maybe the both of you will be able to build your relationship if you go!" Scarlett said. Her words were filled with jealousy, sarcasm and bitterness. Ryder narrowed his eyes. He still remembered that woman. Because of her.... She came to the hotel...it seems that he did not take care of it properly.... There was a certain darkness in his eyes but then it cleared. He smiled at Scarlett. "So you are Jealous?" He asked her. Scarlett scoffed.
