[Twilight] Vampire's Royal Engagement

By the time of the noon break, Winnie had managed to get to know the girl who was the first to know about the burning of Karen's house that day. Her name was Alice: "My aunt gave it to me. She said that Dr. Karen The cutest of the adopted children is Alice, she hopes that I can grow up to be such a cute and beautiful little girl, how is it possible?" Alice is not inferior to her ordinary face and chubby figure, Winnie I admire her for this.

Winnie had packed her lunch and sat down with Alice, Philip and Barrett.Winnie was talking to them, pretending to casually mention the fire at Cullen's house, and Alice really had something to say: "My aunt specifically asked Sheriff Swann, you know, she is still obsessed with Dr. Cullen after so many years gone Watching him. Hope my uncle hasn't heard about it—Anyway, Sheriff Swan said someone set the fire on purpose, but they haven't found out who..."

"Will the Cullens come back?" Winnie was concerned about this: "After all, their house burned down, and all their belongings. Maybe they need to come back to take a look-or they've been away for too long, and they've been away for so long." Can't get in touch—"

"How is it possible?" Alice fussed and said, "Sheriff Swan's daughter is married to Dr. Cullen's son Edward. How could they not be able to get in touch?"

"No one told me this." Winnie couldn't believe it. It turned out that the taciturn Sergeant Swan was the in-law of the Cullen family, which was much different from Winnie's imagination.

"I forgot you were new here," said Alice. "Everyone knows. My aunt kept talking about how romantic their wedding was, and how they went abroad for their honeymoon...but they rarely Showed up, don't know where to move to."

"Then they will come back?" Alice hadn't answered Winnie's most important question yet.

"I suppose so," said Alice. "You can imagine how much my aunt cares about this, and would give anything to give her just one more look at Dr. Cullen. But Inspector Swan didn't say much about it... ..."

"Okay." Winnie felt that things were more complicated.She had forgotten those two weirdos, because she didn't know the Karen family at all, so she had nothing to do, so she just ignored them.Now that she finds out that the Karen family is indeed a real person, and it may be related to the scene in her dream, what should she do?

It seemed that she should report it to Sheriff Swan, but she always felt that anyone who had contact with those two weirdos, even indirectly, must be out of his mind.What if Inspector Swann's reticence had been faked, what if Winnie had reported it to him and he had done him a disservice?Winnie really regrets watching too many horror movies.

"Speaking of which, we're going to have a homecoming dance soon." Alice didn't talk about the Karen family like her aunt. After all, the Karen family moved away not long after she was born. The impression of them is only in the aunt's narration: "Boys, have you decided who to invite?" She asked Philip and Barrett.

After listening to Alice's words, Philip and Barrett looked at each other, as if they wanted to push each other back.

If it wasn't for Sarah, Winnie would probably have given up seeking help from others because of what happened to her. It's always the safest thing to wait and see what happens, isn't it?But Sarah scolded her severely because of this: "How dull you are, you don't go to the 'police uncle' when you meet dangerous people, but make your own decisions. I told you not to watch too many horror movies, that's not normal Is your society good?"

"Are you saying I should tell Sheriff Swann?" Winnie automatically ignored Sarah's "hating iron is not steel": "—I always feel a little strange, in case Sheriff Swann really has something..."

"Stop your nonsense, Winnie White, go to the police immediately, I don't want to see the news of your accident in the newspaper tomorrow." Sarah yelled on the other end of the phone, she wholeheartedly thought that she had taken away her best friend What poisonous snakes and beasts are hidden in the small town of Forks.

"Okay, okay, I'll go, okay?" Winnie said, "If I do die tomorrow and the last thing you do before I die is to yell at me, you should How sorry!"

"Winnie." Sarah said helplessly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Can you drive me somewhere?" Winnie had to admit that not having a car was really troublesome, so she had to ask Barrett again with the cheek.

"Where?" Barrett looked at her vigilantly: "Don't be the ruins after the fire again, and use me as a shield."

"I thought you'd like to show me around," Winnie said. "You know I'm not very familiar with Fox."

"Don't get me wrong, Winnie." Barrett regained his serious expression: "I really want to help you, but my uncle who has been away from home for many years came back today, and I really can't leave. If I don't go home immediately, My dad will kill me."

"I can drive you." Philip opened his car door, and Winnie bid farewell to Barrett in a hurry, and sat in: "Tell me, where are you going?"

"Sheriff Swan's house, do you know where it is?" It would be too conspicuous to go directly to the police station, and Winnie didn't want to be retaliated against.

"Sit down." Philip started the car quickly.

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

To be honest, Winnie was not familiar with Philip.In biology class that day, Winnie thought he was looking for an opportunity to get close to her, but Philip didn't say a few words to her until the end of class. Although they sat together at lunch every day, Philip didn't stop talking like Barrett. to make her happy.If they didn't know the situation, others might think that Philip was tied to the table full of laughter and laughter by them.

"Can I listen to some music?" Winnie thought it was strange that the two of them were in such a closed space without saying a word.

"Whatever." Philip glanced at Winnie.

Winnie turned on the car radio and found a FM that was playing music. "Yesterday Reappeared" was playing in it. Winnie leaned against the back of the chair and closed her eyes, immersed in the music.

"Why are you looking for Sheriff Swan?" Philip finally couldn't help asking.

"Something." Winnie replied.She felt that her attitude seemed a bit perfunctory, and Philip was helping her, so she added: "You know about Buck, and Jim, and...Aphra?" Repeating their names is torture, and now she has to use these people as her own shield.

"Oh." Philip regretted asking himself a little.

"It's right here." Philip parked the car outside a small two-story building: "Sheriff Swan should be off work, he always comes home on time. If you see a lady, she is Police Swan Chang's wife Sue."

"Okay, thank you." Winnie really didn't know about Sue, and she really knew too little about the people in the town. The tragedy that happened in the Olympic National Park locked her at home.

"I'll wait for you here." When Winnie was about to walk to the front door, Philip also opened the car door on his side: "Don't delay too long." He shook the phone in his hand.

"You don't have to wait for me, Philip." Winnie was not sure what would happen next: "I can walk back by myself, it's not too far anyway."

"Go in quickly." Philip plugged in the earphones and ignored Winnie.

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

Winnie walked up to the pale pink front door, which looked new, freshly painted, with tender green vines still wrapped around the handle, and Winnie knocked.

A yellow-skinned woman opened the door, she looked at Winnie: "Hi, who are you looking for?"

"Is this Sheriff Swann's home?" Winnie asked, "Maybe I have something to tell him. By the way, I'm Winnie White."

"Oh, I see." Sue pulled her in: "You're the girl from Seattle. Charlie will be back soon, sit and wait a while." She took out three teacups from the cabinet: "I just made coffee, would you like some? Or do you prefer tea?"

"The coffee is ready." Winnie took the cup Su handed over, "Thank you, Mrs. Swan."

"Su." Sue corrected her: "To be honest, I have never been used to people calling me Mrs. Swan. Everyone in Fox knows I am 'Sue'."

"Su." Winnie said kindly, shaking the coffee cup in her hand: "The coffee is delicious."

"Charlie has to drink after work every day." Su folded the freshly washed clothes neatly: "To be honest, he should retire, but he is worried about 'those young people', these are his original words. I Always tell him 'you should be getting old,' and there's nothing important about the town of Forks."

Sue sighed: "—and then there was the Olympic National Park thing, poor Taylor was devastated, and Charlie was busy again."

"That's terrible." Winnie said leisurely.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." Su threw those clothes aside and sat next to Winnie: "I forgot that you also went through all that."

"It's okay, Su." Winnie didn't want to make Su feel guilty or anything. Aren't there not enough people involved? She felt annoyed.

"You are a brave girl." Su comforted her: "When the sun rises, all worries will disappear."

"Is this a photo of your daughter?" Winnie saw a group photo of the wedding dress placed in the most conspicuous place in the room. The one in the white dress must be their son-in-law, a Karen, he is indeed quite handsome.

"That's Bella." Su looked lovingly at the two people in the photo: "But Bella is not my daughter. Bella was born to Charlie and his ex-wife. She fell in love with Edward in Forks. The two of them It's crazy to be married at 18, before Charlie and I were together. But you're right, Bella is my daughter and I love her even though we haven't been together for a long time We met."

"She's beautiful." Winnie concealed her embarrassment.Fortunately, Su told her, otherwise Winnie would think that Su was Bella's biological mother, and she would probably mention the matter of the Karen family in front of Su.

"I'm back." There were heavy footsteps in the aisle, and Charlie hung up his gun and walked into the living room: "Winnie, are you here to see Sue? You already know each other?"

"No, Winnie came to see you, Charlie," Sue said.

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

When Philip drove Winnie back to Eliza's house, there was another car parked in front of the house, and Robert got out of it: "Winnie, can I have a word with you?" He looked a little uneasy look.

Winnie looked at Philip, his lips were tightly pursed, Winnie felt that Philip was interested in her again at this time, she felt that Philip's attitude would confuse her sooner or later, she said to Robert: "We will Let's talk here." Philip had no intention of going away, and Winnie had no objection to that.

"Well," Robert said, scratching his hair. Philip stood there motionless and he was stressed. He was going to say these words to Winnie in private: "You know, the homecoming dance is going to start soon. , can you—well, you don't have a partner yet?"

"So?" Winnie didn't intend to answer his question.

"So - I was wondering - can you - can you be my dance partner?" Robert stammered his request, completely unlike the eloquent and eloquent Robert when they first met, Winnie was not at all willing to admit that she had ever been fond of him.

"Robert, I—"

"Winnie will come with me," broke in Philip suddenly.

"Philip!" exclaimed Winnie.

Philip raised his eyebrows: "Is there any problem?" He folded his arms on his chest and looked at Robert arrogantly.

"Of course not." Winnie reacted quickly: "Yes, I will go with Philip. You see, I already have a partner, maybe you can invite others—other girls—"

"Okay." Robert didn't raise any objections, but he didn't mean to leave either: "Actually, I have something else to tell you." He used his body language to signal that Philip was in the way here, but Winnie pretended Did not understand what he meant.

"Actually——" Robert took a deep breath, intending to throw someone back in front of the other boys: "Actually, I want to apologize to you. You know, everything I said in the hospital that day was not true. I I was horrified at the time, I was an idiot, and I'm sorry for hurting you."

"He hurt you?" Philip was annoyed, and Philip dropped his arm as if to give Robert a blow.

"That's none of your business." Winnie's tone was very strong, and she turned to Robert again: "I know you are a fool, it has nothing to do with me, you don't need to apologize to me. You go."

"Winnie!" Of course Robert was unwilling to leave. After the pain of losing his partner gradually subsided, he realized how what he had said to Winnie had hurt a "weak" girl. Couldn't even sleep all night.If he can't get Winnie's understanding, he will probably suffer forever: "I really want you to know how sorry I am, and I am willing to do anything as long as I can make it up to you."

"I don't need you to do anything for me." Winnie said, "If there is anything, please disappear in front of me immediately, please." Winnie turned sideways and stopped looking at him.

"Winnie said you should leave." Philip had just received Winnie's cold reception, and he wisely took his anger out on Robert.

"I'm sorry, Winnie." Robert couldn't see Winnie's painful eyes, so he had to leave disappointed.

"Are you all right?" Philip touched Winnie's arm.

"Thank you for dropping me off today, Philip." Winnie said, "You should go back too."

"Of course." Philip finally decided not to ask anything.

Winnie took out the key from her bag and opened the door, but Philip stopped her again: "What did we say just now, about us going to the homecoming dance together?"

"No problem." Winnie said, "You can pick me up."
