Vidrian's words made Ruby glance at Savana.
Just briefly.
Really briefly.
However he could clearly see a face that was very similar to Vidrian.
Suddenly his heart was racing.
He could not take it calmly.
Yes, he will never be able to change the fact that Vidrian is the father of the boy. So, he better take it. But when he saw that face, he felt a deep hatred in his heart.
Does he hate that kid?
No. gabe.
He doesn't really hate it. He just doesn't want to see her, doesn't want to know her, doesn't want to get close to her, doesn't want to deal with her.
"I'm not asking you or your daughter to help my son" Ruby replied after a while considering what answers might be appropriate. He has not had a good impression since he first met Savana. Even to this second, he still did not have a good impression of her.
It wasn't that the Savannah was too bad or anything, apart from that she just wanted to stay away from him while closing her eyes. Pretending not to know, pretending not to know, pretending not to see. That's all he wanted to do. No. gabe. That's all he can do to keep things the same.
Vidrian chuckled, laughing at himself. "Actually that's not the point," he said later. He still maintained his composure even though he was actually very angry. Since it's about Savannah, he becomes very sensitive. And he hated the word Ruby just now.
It's as if Ruby underestimated Savana's help.
Although it was indeed a small help that might not mean anything to Ruby, it was different for Savana. Savannah was clearly just an innocent little boy. Couldn't Ruby appreciate it a little even if it was just pretend?
He really expected too much.
She forgets that Ruby only lives for herself and her family. Who is it, who is Savana? She and her daughter are just strangers who are not important to Ruby. It's ridiculous to expect an answer that is clearly not Ruby style. Just like reaching for the stars in the sky, it was impossible.
Next to Ruby's eyebrows raised.
"I mean, what do you think of my daughter?" Vidrian said again. This time he made his point very clear. Forget about the 'courage and help Savannahs do', she just wants to know what Ruby feels when she sees Savana. Is he touched? Does he want to cry? Or what?
Ruby frowned. "Why are you asking this question?" Does Vidrian really wish he was still the same person, kind, naive and stupid? Does Vidrian expect his heart to be touched by what Savana is doing? Even if he was touched, he couldn't possibly show it. Especially if it doesn't?
Now he will reverse the question.
For what was he touched?
Vidrian or whoever it is, is not important in his life. It really doesn't matter because their presence won't change anything. A dead heart can no longer be revived. The more flush, the more dead.
"Because I just want to know," replied Vidrian.
"So, what answer do you want to hear?" ask Ruby. "Aren't you insisting on forcing me to say something nice? If I didn't, what would you do?"
"Is it so hard to answer?" ask Vidrian. Just a simple answer, yet it seemed like it was too difficult for Ruby. Now he didn't even know what the point of their conversation was. Something that should be compact and concise why be so convoluted? Wh why?
"It's not hard, I just don't want to say something I don't want to say" Ruby replied. No. gabe. Actually he did not want to answer this question for fear of saying something wrong about Savannah. He is afraid to vent his anger on people who should not.
His only enemy is Vidrian, only Vidrian he hates, what if in the end he is also hostile to Savannah? Although not close, but he did not want to antagonize the child. Really am. So isn't silence better than mispronunciation?
Vidrian clenched his hands. He knew talking to Ruby wasn't easy. But he was determined not to give up. So he won't stop just because Ruby wants him.
"You're right. There's no need to say something you don't want to say" Vidrian said in the end. "So, you don't have to say anything."
Ruby's dumbfounded. Vidrian, that annoying fool who is usually stubborn, why is it so soft? But Vidrian's words continue to drop Ruby's hope.
"I'll just tell you a story" Vidrian said again.
Ruby's jaw fell. Really exaggerating. In the end Vidrian did not become softer, but rather became more foolish.
Ignoring Ruby's annoyed expression, Vidrian let out a long sigh and had difficulty speaking, as if the story he was about to tell deeply hurt his heart.
Ruby didn't say anything. Seeing Vidrian acting this way, his heart, heart and spleen ached. He does not know why man created this stupid, this is clearly a disaster.
"Don't you also think Savannah is similar to me? Physically speaking? Yes, she does look a lot like me, but for some reason, I wish her face resembled her mother's" Vidrian begins his story.
Ruby looked at Vidrian with disdain. Very amusing. Vidrian wants Savana to look like his mother? Where did Vidrian get the courage to spout that shit? What qualifications does Vidrian have to expect such a thing?
"Perhaps because I didn't have anything more about my ex-wife after we divorced, that's why if Savana looks like her mother, there's at least something about her left, at least" Vidrian continued.
Ruby nodded small. "Alright, your story is very touching. But have you ever wondered why your daughter's face doesn't look like your ex-wife's?"
Vidrian. Right, he never once thought of this. Why is Savana more like herself than Rubika? According to doctors, it is true that mothers and fathers contribute a role in the physical condition and intelligence of children, but most of the development of children is innately more influenced by the genetics of the father. Most genetic mutations are affected by the father's DNA. No wonder Savannahs resemble themselves in terms of physical or facial features.
When the doctor gave that explanation, Vidrian never thought of any other reason. So, why? What is the reason, what is the problem?
Before Vidrian could figure out what and why, Ruby whispered, "It's a sin you've committed until God doesn't even let you have anything else about it even if it's just one thing."
