[Twilight] Vampire's Royal Engagement

"And then?" Alec asked, "How did you escape?"

"This—" Winnie looked back at Alec, she wasn't even sure if she had the courage to say those things, even after 4 years, she still didn't dare to look back at those horrible days.

"You remember what that Romanian vampire, Stefan, did to me?" Winnie asked.

"Of course." Alec said.Although he didn't understand the meaning of Winnie's question.

"En——" Winnie bit her lip, which has become her usual action when she is nervous. Fortunately, she is a vampire, lifeless, and will not change, so there is no need to worry about leaving a mark on her lips: "He seduced me with my own blood and wanted me to drink it as punishment... Actually, he inspired me... I know I can't do that to Sarah, but I can do that to myself... ..." Winnie tried to relax Alec with a smile on her face, because he was about to crush her arm, and she said, "It didn't hurt at all. I wasn't conscious at the time, so I also Not feeling much—”

"Winnie!" Alec didn't relax at all.

"It's good to see you so nervous about me." Winnie continued her tearful smile. "It seems that I have been alone for a long time."

"I should have protected you." Alec fell into his inextricable regret again.

"It's me who should say sorry." Winnie said, "I shouldn't have lost my temper with you. You traveled across the ocean to see me, and I didn't even give you a warm welcome. It's just, about Sarah, And there's a lot of other things that make me—sometimes I just can't hold my temper."

"So we're back together?" Alec said.

"Reconcile as before." Winnie nodded firmly.

Winnie and Alec looked into each other's eyes. Although so many things happened, they were still able to get together at this moment and talk to each other. Maybe this means something...

It was the first time that Winnie kissed a man so proactively. The moment her lips touched her, she could feel a seductive sweetness rushing to her heart, making her want more... Winnie Alec was indeed taken aback by his initiative, but he quickly realized,

He deepened his embrace with Winnie, and this hard-earned kiss...

Sarah's funeral began in the early morning, with a drizzle of rain in the sky, and a few turtledoves sang low and melancholy.

"It's a pity." Winnie looked up at the gray sky: "Sarah will be happy if there is a little sunshine. You know that when I was young, I fell into an inexplicable melancholy for a while I know it usually happens to teenage girls, but I'm so young, I don't want to tell my parents, don't want to tell anyone. But Sarah, she's like a ray of sunshine, always happy, and So playful, she doesn't care about other people's eyes. But when we grow up, things seem to change, she and her father are always in conflict, I know she is not happy, but I am not as happy as she brings me , bring her real happiness."

"You have lived and died together, Winnie." Alec held her in his arms: "Anyone would be happy to have such a friend."

"Maybe," said Winnie, "but she left anyway."

"Her life is still going on, you will take care of her baby, won't you?"

"Of course." Winnie said, "Why are you so considerate today?" Thinking of this, she burst into tears.

"I'm studying too, okay?"

"Of course." Winnie felt Alec's strong chest, which seemed to be able to resist all possible difficulties and dangers for Winnie: "Never, never, don't leave me, okay?"

"of course."

They hugged each other tightly.

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

Sarah's mother attended the funeral, although very reluctantly, but Winnie had to inform them that they were Sarah's biological parents anyway, they gave Sarah life, and they had the right to see Sarah leave.Sarah's father came too, though he still looked serious, even angry.But Winnie soon learned why.

After the funeral, Winnie stood there talking to Alec, Sarah's mother, Marianne, came first, and her husband, just stood there watching from a distance.

"We're all grateful for what you've done for Sarah, Winnie." Marianne was a delicate woman, just like herself, small, with long, thinning hair, and gray eyes, and she was exactly like Sarah. Not so much, Sarah inherited more of her cruel father's appearance, which seems a bit ironic, but it is true.

"I will pay you back everything you paid for Sarah, including board and lodging, funeral, hospital..." Marianne said.

"It's not necessary at all." Winnie categorically rejected Marianne's request: "We are best friends, everything I do for her is willing, and I don't need anyone to repay me. This is What I can do, this is one of the few things I can do for her."

"But I'm her mother—"

"I know you are her mother." Winnie interrupted her: "But you don't know what relationship I have with her, you don't know what I have experienced with her, so don't judge me with your superficial eyes. Judge our relationship." Standing in front of this woman who had broken her heart, Winnie's temper began to flare up again.

"Okay." Marianne said tremblingly: "But, actually, I know that about Sarah's child—"

"Amanda is still in the hospital, but she will be fine. You don't need to worry at all, I will take good care of her." Winnie said decisively.

"Actually——" Marianne seemed to be hesitating, she hesitated to say what she really thought.

"That child—Amanda, right—is our granddaughter, and we'll take care of her." Sarah's father, the man who hadn't said a word throughout the funeral, walked away with his stomping steps. Come here, tell Winnie so.

"That's impossible." Winnie smiled instead of anger, "Sarah entrusted her to me."

"Do you have credentials?"

"I didn't—how dare you?" After he mercilessly kicked out the pregnant Sarah, how dare he make such a request, Winnie was already furious.

"—then we will definitely take Amanda away." Sarah's father was determined: "I will not let the Krum family's blood flow outside."

"If you refuse to give in obediently, young lady." He looked arrogantly at Winnie, who was trembling from his anger, "The law will tell you the answer."
