Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again

Winnie didn't know how long she had been standing there, and when she looked back, she found Channing leaning against the wall, quietly watching her.

She moved her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Channing walked up to her and spoke slowly, "Can't sleep?"

Winnie nods gently.

Channing said, "Do you want me to keep you company." Winnie: "......"

It's not necessary.

Before she could say anything, Channing had already taken her hand and led her back to her room.

A warmth came over her, making her feel the blood that had been frozen begin to flow again.

Channing pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed while he squatted in front of her on one bent knee, leveling his gaze at her, his voice low and slow: "I know what you're thinking, I never cared about the process, all I wanted, from the beginning, was you." Even though Winnie has gotten used to his blunt expressions, it still feels surreal every time she hears these words.

Channing has seen her in many ways, low self-esteem, weakness, fear, selfishness, desperation .......

Whichever one she is, she is not worthy of being liked.

But on the contrary, every one of them has nothing to hide in front of him.

Winnie hung her head, her voice small: "But I'm not worth it."

After being an actress for so many years, she knows what kind of viewers like about her, so she will present the way they like in front of the camera.

But the real her, even she herself does not know exactly what it is like.

The only thing she knows for sure is that there will always be a dark corner inside her.

In that corner, she locked herself in the cold water of the lake that night.

It was clear that everyone was putting in a reckless effort for her sake.

But she wanted to give up on herself for a long time.

It's reckless selfishness.

Channing took her hand, "I'll say what you're worth."

He continued, "Although you have long forgotten the scene of our first meeting, I will always remember."

Winnie froze slightly and looked up to meet his gaze.

"I'm taking you to a place."

After the words, Channing got up, took his jacket over her and held her hand as he walked out.

This time outside the snow has been much less, but the cold wind is still bitterly cold.

In the blanket of snow, the departure of the black Bentley looked particularly dazzling.

Stella stood by the window sill and couldn't help but say, "Where do you think they're going in the middle of the night."

Clarence stood beside her, "Want to know?"

Channing subconsciously nodded his head.

"Then we'll follow it up and see."

Stella: "?"

Without waiting for her to refuse, Clarence was already pulling her out the door.

On the way, Winnie sat in the car a little confused.

She had no idea where Channing would take her or how things had gotten to this point.

I don't know if it's because of the snow on the road, but the car seems to have been driving for a long, long time, so long that she has gotten sleepy.

That is, until Channing's voice rang out from the car, "Here we are."

Winnie regained her composure and followed his line of sight.

Not far away, there is a 24-hour convenience store.

However, compared to the new convenience stores that have emerged in the past few years, this store already looks a bit old, and the storefront is not large, the warm light inside adds a bit of warmth to the cold night. Channing turned his head to look at her, "Remember this place."

Winnie sniffed and frowned gently.

Did she come here.

Channing unbuckled his seatbelt, "Go inside and check it out."

Winnie followed and got out of the car.

The streets in this neighborhood have also been covered with snow, but a full picture can be seen vaguely.

Just this place.......

She really has no recollection of it.

Channing pushed open the door of the convenience store and a pleasant wind chime sounded.

Winnie looked back, and some vague memories and images appeared in her mind, but she couldn't grasp anything.

She turned her head again and looked around the convenience store.

It was late and there was no one in the store.

Just then, a girl came in behind them, probably too cold, and did not pay attention to whether there were any people next to them, and went straight to the side of the Guan Dong Bo.

The clerk chatted with her as she was loading her things: "It's New Year's Day, you're not home so late, huh?"

The girl held the paper cup containing Guan Dong Bo and took a sip of soup before saying, "I can't help it, I've been working overtime today and I don't want to work this shitty shift for a day."

Winnie looked at the girl and remembered herself a few years ago.

It was the same night, but not as cold.

Her first time filming, but was kicked out of the crew, ID cards were also pressed in the crew, even the hotel can not go, originally intended to find a 24-hour convenience store to make up for a night, but......

Winnie suddenly realized something.

The memory goes back to that night.

She had just entered the convenience store when she saw a boy just above her shoulder height, asking the convenience store clerk and the surrounding customers, over and over while repeating, "Have you seen my sister, she was taken away by the bad guys......" The customers were in a hurry and the clerks were busy with their shifts, none of them cared about him.

Winnie, however, took notice of him.

The boy was good-looking, but his body was thin, and his voice was hoarse and tired, so he could see that he was about to lose support.

Winnie bought his own things, and bought a sandwich, a bottle of hot water, is ready to go out, the clerk saw her intention, reminded: "Recently the means of abducting girls quite a lot, I heard some time ago, a small child let people help him to find his mother, the results

......

Winnie smiled as she took her things, "I got it, thanks."

She chased after them almost without any hesitation.

But the good thing is, he didn't go far, he just crouched by the wall of the convenience store.

He saw her approach and was a little wary, those dark eyes full of defensiveness and coldness.

Winnie suddenly felt that she was quite like the unsuspecting one.

She crouched down next to him and held the sandwich in her hand out to him.

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, then took it and wolfed it down, not forgetting to say thank you to her.

Winnie looked at him and couldn't help but laugh a little.

It was the first time she saw such a good-looking little boy.

She said she would accompany him to the police, but he refused.

Winnie knows that there are many times when life's helplessness is not solved by calling the police, and she understands him, but can't help him do anything.

Later, he asked her why she hadn't come home so late.

She said she couldn't get her ID back.

He taught her a trick and went to her sister without looking back.

Winnie then thought, anyway, idle, there is no place to go, why not try what he said.

That night was the first time she learned to cheat.

But it was surprisingly effective.

The crew needed to clear the set for the night scene, but when they saw she was stuck there, the director threw a tantrum and the staff member holding her ID card rushed to return it to her.
