[Twilight] Vampire's Royal Engagement

"I got it." Winnie handed the hair wrapped in a handkerchief to Alec: "What do you want this for? You don't want to perform some witchcraft, do you?" The witches in the movie need to use the cursed person to cast any spell. A close-fitting thing, or simply a part of the body.

"Of course it's a DNA test. Who is the person in the 21st century?" Alec quickly pulled out a hair from Winnie's head, put it together with Lai Ruo's hair, and put away the handkerchief.

"It hurts." Winnie complained, clutching her hair, "It's true that I am a person in the 21st century, but I don't think this DNA test will have any results. I believe you said that Bernice and I are the same person It's like that, but we have different parents, okay? We won't be related by blood." Winnie tried her best to persuade Alec not to do useless work.

"Then have you ever thought about how you look exactly the same with different parents and different genes?" Alec asked back.

"I don't know." Winnie spread her hands: "Your appearance made me start to doubt the world, okay? Vampires, immortality, can science explain these things?"

"We'll see." Alec's determination was unwavering.

"Whatever you want." Winnie believed that Alec's attempt would have no results.

When Winnie and Lei Ruo said goodbye that morning, Lei Ruo looked taken aback. She probably wasn't used to the fact that Winnie, who came to recognize her relatives, had her own parents and her own family.She simply did not want Winnie to leave, lest she be gone forever like Bernice.

"I'll be back, Mrs. Smith." Winnie wrote her contact information on a note with her phone number and address in Houston, and she handed the note to Lai Ruo: "This is It's my contact information, in case you have anything to ask me. I'm sure we still have a lot of questions to figure out. Also, thank you for the photo." Winnie waved the photo she was holding in her hand.

Lai Ruo sent her a photo of Bernice at the Miss Texas Awards. Lei Ruo must have spent a lot of effort to get this photo. After all, they had already broken up when Bernice won the award. Bo Nisi would not send her a special photo.Winnie felt that Lai Ruo really believed the story she made up, now that she had given her such a precious thing.In other words, Lai Ruo would rather believe what Winnie said. Without Bernice, it is a great comfort to have someone who looks exactly like Bernice by her side.

"Good luck, my child." Lero hugged her.

"We are exactly the same." Winnie looked at the beauty in the photo, except for her attire, she couldn't find any place to put aside her relationship with Bernice.Even today, holding this photo in her hand and looking at it for a long time, she still can't believe that there is such a thing in the world.

"I told you." Alec looked at the photo from above over Winnie, and after a while he said with emotion: "She is more beautiful than when I saw her." That was Bernice in the spring breeze, if there is no father In terms of cheating, her life is almost perfect.Winnie slowly began to understand what Lai Ruo meant by Bernice's charm, and just looking at her photos made people fall in love with her involuntarily.

"Did you say she was happy?" Winnie recalled the idea that came to her from Lero: "becoming a vampire can keep her young forever, and she is so beautiful, she must be very happy--" This It's a superficial idea, but Winnie still thinks it's possible: "It's such a great thing to be able to preserve such beauty."

"She's probably crying because all her makeup isn't working." Alec deftly sidesteps the question.He didn't dare to say that Bernice was happy, and she kept getting involved in trouble until she died. Who would be happy about such an experience.Even with the benefits of perpetual youth, Bernice did not have that opportunity to enjoy them.

"After Bernice disappeared, was Director Strong in Houston looking for her?" Winnie asked.

"I don't know." Alec has never understood the things here: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"When I was with Lai Ruo, this thing popped into my mind, and I don't know why." Winnie was very confused: "Lai Ruo didn't mention it at all, she didn't even mention it. I've been told about Commissioner Strong, and all of a sudden I know, I even know he's in charge of finding the missing Bernice..."

"Maybe you've seen his profile on the Internet," Alec reminded.

"I don't know." Winnie confused herself: "I don't think so. When I was sitting with Lai Ruo, it suddenly came into my mind, that kind of thought..."

"Forget it." Winnie felt slightly tired, and she left the sofa holding Bernice's photo: "I want to take a nap."

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

"I want to introduce someone to you." Lai Ruo took Winnie who was visiting again to the living room, where there was already a man sitting there drinking coffee: "Uncle Bernice wants to talk to you."

"You must be Winnie." Evan stood up and shook hands with Winnie, his voice sounded enthusiastic, but Winnie felt that he didn't like her like Lero at all: "It's so nice to see you. "

"Hello, Mr. Smith." Winnie said politely.

"Call me Evan." Evan motioned Winnie to sit across from him, and Lero sat down on the other side: "Bernice calls me that all the time. To be honest, I've never heard her call me that once." Uncle." This is of course an exaggeration, but Bernice and Evan were indeed very close during their lifetime, as Winnie can find out from the information.

"After you left, Lai Ruo called and told me about your visit." Evan always took the initiative in the conversation. Compared with Lai Ruo who sat there silently, Evan was more like the owner of this house. Master: "I wanted to see you right away. You should understand how much this means to our family, especially to Lei Ruo." Evan nodded to the smiling Lei Ruo.

"I didn't want to disturb your life." Winnie still felt that this "Uncle Evan" didn't like her very much, and she would rather say some polite words: "But when I found out about this, I still couldn't calm down. I've been thinking about this over and over again in my mind... Finally I decided that I should come here to see..."

"Didn't you come to see Bernice?" Evan's sharp eyes made Winnie fidget.

"No, of course not." Winnie is glad that she made the right choice: "I knew about her disappearance before I came here. I did the research, you know, otherwise how would I find this place?"

"You seem to be good at this?" Evan's tone didn't sound like he was praising Winnie.

"It's not hard to find." Winnie looked at Evan innocently: "It's in newspapers, in magazines, everywhere—Missing Miss Texas Bernice Elizabeth Smith—" Thanks Alec In front of these social celebrities, there is no place for her to act. Fortunately, she did not pretend that she was crying to find her biological mother, but admitted from the very beginning that she knew the fact that Bernice was missing. Otherwise, she really doesn't know how to act.

"That's true." Evan leaned on the sofa, looking more relaxed than before, but his hands on his knees were still tightly clenched: "Can you tell us about the family you live in now, Wen Ni? Lero and I both want to know."

"That's right." Lero finally said, "We all want to know how you grew up?" Or how Bernice's daughter ended up in someone else's family.

"Nothing special," Winnie said. "My dad used to be a reporter for a newspaper, and he actually worked pretty well. Then, my mom hasn't worked since she had me. She's a housewife."

"Before?" Winnie knew that Evan could be keenly aware of all the details.

"My dad seems to have made a bad investment, so—" Winnie spread her hands and said "you know": "Then he unfortunately lost his job, so we had to sell the original big house, I Moving in with Fox's grandma, going to high school...Mark and Rona are living in a rented house, trying to get a job..."

"That's too bad." Lai Ruo took Winnie's hand and comforted her.

"Actually, I'm almost used to it. It's Mark and Ruona who worked hard. In fact, I'm doing pretty well." In fact, I'm not used to it, but I've almost forgotten it. Under the impact of magical creatures like vampires, her love for Fox The boring life has been left behind.

"So, do your parents know you're here?" Evan asked.

"They don't know," Winnie said. "I don't know how to explain it to them. I just want to come here first, maybe the rumors are wrong... So, until everything is clear, I'm not going to tell them……"

"You're right," said Leroy. "They're going to be sad."

"Do they know anything about your biological parents?" Evan asked. "Did they adopt you, or?"

"I don't think so." Winnie was thinking about how to fabricate this lie. She is not only the biological daughter of Mark and Ruona, but also the child of Lero, and now she looks exactly like Bernice. Who would believe this? What kind of thing: "I don't think they know anything, don't ask me why I think so, I just know, a feeling, you know."

"Anyway, we really should figure everything out first, and then tell your parents slowly." It was obvious that Lai Ruo wanted Winnie to stay by her side.

"Of course, Lai Ruo." Evan politely agreed with what Lei Ruo said: "We really should find out. Winnie, if you agree, we will do a paternity test for you and Lei Ruo. I think This is the best solution."

"Paternity test?" Why would they have the same thoughts as Alec? If she had known this, she could have just told Alec that he didn't need to bother, and someone would help him complete the work anyway.

"Lai Ruo's personal doctor is outside, can I ask him to come in?" Evan asked.

"Of course." If she said no, then Evan would call the police.

"Doctor Gail Hobo, I'm sorry for your trouble." Evan said.
