Chapter 44: A complicated relationship

After a year of working away from home, returning home this time was a little strange to me.
I looked at the wide courtyard, which was even larger than the area covered by the hospital where Eric lived.
There were more complaints about my parents in my heart, but in front of Sophie, I wasn't able to show too much emotion, which would make it very difficult for Sophie.
William and Eric were taken to the room by the butler, William needed to do a brief check on Eric to make sure that Eric didn't have any heart problems because he was too excited on the road.
"Selena, my fiancé is also a guest at the house today, just so you can meet, I swear, he's really extraordinarily handsome, you'll love him too."
Sophie took my hand and bounced in front of me like a happy bird.
I happily looked at her like this and was also infected by her happiness.
It seems that she is still very satisfied with this marriage, and I am much relieved.
When Sophie dragged me to the living room, I spotted two familiar figures.
"HI, Green, I've come to introduce my sister to you."
When Sophie saw the people in the living room, she let go of my hand and excitedly waved at the people in the living room, and her tone was very cheerful.
Those two familiar people were none other than Damon and Grimm.
I looked at Damon in surprise, and then at Green, and quickly collected my surprised expression.
Damon just gave me a cold look, as if he saw a stranger.
Green, on the other hand, greeted me with great enthusiasm.
"I always heard Sophie talk about her sister, I didn't expect it to be such a beautiful lady."
Greene very politely raised his hat and gestured to me.
I smiled politely at Grimm, except my eyes lingered on the man with the fiery red hair.
Damon acted as if he didn't see me, still sitting on the couch wondering what he was thinking about.
I think he probably didn't want me to reveal my identity in front of Green, which is why he refused to communicate with me.
However, I still couldn't help but feel a little lost inside.
"Miss Selena?"
"Sister?"
Sophie's hand waved vigorously in front of me, and only then did I realize that I had just lost my temper.
"I'm so sorry, that one over there is my brother, he's always so rude, I've made you laugh."
Grimm noticed my attention on Damon and explained very naturally.
"He has very special hair."
I haphazardly found an excuse to cover up my earlier uncharacteristic behavior.
Grimm sensed that I was interested in Damon and greeted Damon by coming over to say hello to me.
"Sophie this sister looks stunning to me, especially those eyes can be so beautiful."
Damon finally stood up, his face was no longer indifferent just now, but replaced with a cynical expression, with his flaring hair, like a real dude.
Compared to Green, Damon is more of a casual artist.
And the outside world always thinks that Green is the one who is in charge of the Van Dornhelm family.
"So it looks like Sophie your sister in particular looks like someone I know very well."
Greene, after Damon's reminder, looked at my face carefully again.
Sophie took my wrist: "My sister is the most beautiful person in the world, and I don't believe anyone resembles her."
Sophie's tone was very proud, only a bitter smile hung on the corner of my mouth.
I thought back to the first time I met Grimm, when I had just learned that Sophie was the fiancée that Grimm had spoken of, and the ripples inside me, I wondered if I should tell Sophie what Grimm had done before.
I glanced sideways at Sophie's smiling face, my body that had just stiffened softened, and reached out to pat Sophie's small hand.
At least, not to be able to bring trouble for Sophie before the wedding.
I can try to try to understand what Grimm really thinks through other methods.
"Hey, did I miss something?"
Just as the living room was in an awkward period, a soft voice asked in a whisper.
I looked in the direction of the voice, it was a woman I had never seen before, looking about 25 years old, her blonde hair hanging down her side like a waterfall.
A pair of turquoise eyes shone with a star-like hue.
I marveled at the woman's beauty, but also wondered at the identity of this person.
"Damon, so there you are, I've been looking for you for a long time, my aunt and uncle want to talk to you about something."
I watched as this woman briskly walked up to Damon's side and very intimately reached out and took Damon's arm.
My heart floated a feeling that I had never experienced before, like someone in the chest with a small hammer, a, a knock, I felt this dull pain, unconsciously bit the corner of my mouth.
Grimm frowned slightly as he watched the woman walk in, but was still very gentlemanly as he introduced me to the woman.
"This is Damon's fiancée, the first lady of the Morgan family, who will also be attending Sophie and I's wedding this time, and will be here with Damon for a week of interruptions."
"Selena, I think they are really good together, of course Green and I are the most matching pair."
Sophie saw Grimm happily introducing Damon's fiancée, wrinkling her own nose slightly and shaking my arm.
I don't know if I look bad right now, I'm not in the mood to deal with Sophie at all at this point, and at the same time I've noticed that Damon's eyes have been on me ever since this Miss Morgan appeared.
His expression went from pretending not to recognize at first, to helplessness after Morgan's arrival, and finally his expression became somewhat strained after seeing me.
"Yes, you and Green are the best match." I forced myself to hold back that painful feeling in my heart and tried my best to show a smile to appease Sophie's small emotions.
I hadn't seen Sophie for a long time, and although facing her pampering relieved some of the hard feelings, it was looking at Damon and other women standing close together that I still couldn't let go of.
"You just have some physical relationship, and you should not have feelings with your bed partner."
I admonished myself in my mind.
"Why hasn't Eric come over yet, I'll go check on Eric first."
Standing in the middle of this living room, everyone was a pair, only I was alone, which made me a little unable to fit in here, and made a random excuse to try to escape from this scene.
"Eric was too excited on the road and is now asleep."
William's gentle voice suddenly sounded.
I stiffly turned my head and saw that William had changed into a pure white suit, reflecting his face even whiter.
William's look gave me a moment of amazement, but more than that, it made me feel distressed.
Now this living room is like a mud puddle, so I can not breathe, and struggle out.
