Chapter 4

Ronnie felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Edwina. He knew that Edwina was angry, so he apologized, “I'm sorry Edwina, I should not have left you alone in the hospital and I came so late. It's my fault.”

Edwina was not interested in Ronnie's apology at all. She just thought in her heart that Penelope would come to pick her up and leave on another day.

Edwina forced herself to calm down and said calmly, “I want to go home.”

Ronnie nodded and said, “Okay, okay, let's go home now.”

Ronnie packed up Edwina's things, completed the discharge procedures and took Edwina away.

In the car, Ronnie kept talking to Edwina, but Edwina did not say a word in response.

After entering the villa, Diane greeted Edwina enthusiastically, “Edwina is back. I cut some fruit for you. Come and have some.”

Edwina did not want to pay attention to Diane and walked straight to her bedroom.

Diane's eyes instantly turned red after being ignored by Edwina. Seeing this, Ronnie frowned and said, “Edwina, Diane is greeting you, why don't you say anything?”

Not to mention Diane, even Ronnie was being ignored by her.

Edwina went upstairs to the bedroom and closed the door heavily.

Diane said aggrievedly, “Is Edwina still angry with me?”

Ronnie felt very strange looking at the closed bedroom. He felt that Edwina seemed a little different from before.

Ronnie wiped Diane's tears, “Don't think too much, Edwina cannot see, maybe she's in a bad mood, it's not because of you.”

Diane sniffed and said, “Then let's take Edwina with us to the class reunion tonight. She is blind and it is inconvenient for him to be alone at home. Although there is a nanny, I am still worried.”

Ronnie smiled and said, “Okay, I'll listen to you.”

Edwina returned to the bedroom and wanted to pack up her things, but she was so sleepy that she fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Edwina was woken up by Ronnie, who said gently, “Edwina, wake up. I'll take you to the party.”

Edwina was still in a daze when Ronnie picked her up and carried her into the car.

By the time she was fully sober and wanted to refuse, the driver had already started the car.

Edwina frowned and asked, “Where are we going?”

Diane explained, “Ronnie and I are going to attend a class reunion together. We are worried about you being alone at home, so we took you with us.”

Edwina whispered, “I'm not going.”

Ronnie said gently, “Don't make trouble, be good. Let's just go sit for a while and go back soon, okay?”

Edwina knew that Ronnie would not change his mind and there was no point in saying more, so Edwina simply kept her mouth shut.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the three of them got out of the car together. 

When they entered the private room, everyone could not help but make a noise when they saw Diane and Ronnie coming in together, but the moment they saw Edwina, they shut up.

Ronnie pulled the chair away and helped Edwina sit down.

After sitting Edwina down, he pulled the chair beside him away and let Diane sit on the other side of him.

As soon as Diane sat down, someone started to make a noise, “Diane, we have not seen each other for so many years, I miss you so much. Come on, have a drink!”

Diane blushed and hesitated to speak. Ronnie took the wine on Diane's table and said, “She just had surgery a while ago and cannot drink. I'll drink it for her.”

The old classmate on the opposite side insisted, “Hey, hey, hey, how can that be possible? This cup of wine is a toast to girls after all, what's the point of a grown man drinking it? If Diane cannot drink it, or let Edwina take her place.”
