SWNOVELS Chapter 3
Chapter 3 Are You Going to Take A Murderer As Your Daughter?
When Anna walked to the gate of the Perkins mansion, the ground was covered with bloody footprints, one deep and another shallow, as if showing her embarrassing identity. She knocked on the door lightly and waited expectantly until a stranger opened the door.
She froze for a moment, “… Sorry, I’m here to see my dad… Mr. Perkins.”
When she was speaking, she shrank her neck, bowed her upper body slightly, and her posture was humble. The north wind took away the last few dead leaves on the branches and swept the snow that was not landing firmly on the ground. However, Anna’s heart was filled with warmth. Even though the thin coat was filled with the north wind, she didn’t feel any chill.
After getting permission to enter the door, she stepped forward happily. When she saw the clean and brand–new carpet on the floor, she hesitated for a moment and decided to take off her shoes and socks so as not to stain the holy place in her heart. This had been the only light in her heart for the past three years.
Sitting in a wheelchair, Todd saw Anna standing barefoot at the door, and his tears instantly welled up.
“Anna.” His voice trembled.
Anna heard the voice and looked in Todd’s direction. It had

been three years, and he had aged a lot. His hair was grey, and his face was wrinkled. Seeing him like this, she couldn’t help feeling sad.
Three years ago, Todd wouldn’t have disabled his legs if it weren’t for her. He was one of the three richest men in Yilia City, but now he was reduced to a man sitting in a wheelchair, which was sad. Anna probably would never be able to repay him.
She wanted to run to Todd, but she hesitated. Walking up to Todd, she arched her neck, lowered her eyes slightly, and said timidly with an imperceptible sense of distance in her tone, “Mr. Perkins.”
Todd took Anna’s skinny hands and felt heartbroken. How had his beloved daughter become like this in three years? She looked skinny, and her feet were covered with chilblains, and blood stains remained on the carpet along the way. He
suppressed his emotions, and ordered, “Barret, go get a pair of shoes for Anna.”
Then, he took her to the dining table and said, “You must be hungry traveling all the way here. Let’s eat first.”
Anna saw the table full of delicacies and thought of how picky she had been. Now she only dared to carefully try the plate of
salad in front of her.
Todd couldn’t bear it and put a piece of rib on Anna’s plate. She was too thin. It seemed a gust of wind could easily knock her down.
“Since you’re back, stay here. There is everything here. You can still treat this place as your own home, okay?” Todd said earnestly.

Anna was being cautious, and she didn’t dare to agree

Seeing this, Todd sighed deeply, “Anna, I believe in you. Let bygones be bygones. Don’t take it to heart.”
Anna said nothing and ate slowly.
Todd continued, I’m getting old, and you’ve grown up. It’s time for you to start a family and find a man to take care of you… Your brother said that the son of the Rubin family Raul is a nice young man. His family also matches our family. Well, when will you meet him?”
Anna froze.
Raul was a well–known playboy in Yilia City. In the past, he had fought with another rich man in the business circle over a woman. In the end, he borrowed a lot of money from his friends as compensation… But only the rich second- generation circle knew that and his parents didn’t know.
However, facing Todd’s kindness, how could Anna refuse? She twitched the corner of her mouth bitterly, and replied lightly, “Okay.”
Pier just walked through the door and overheard the conversation. He snorted and looked at Anna with disdain, “You agreed so quickly because you’re afraid no other man would dare to take an ex–cón like you as his wife, right?”
Todd scolded Pier angrily, “Shut up! Don’t say that about your sister!”
Pier retorted, “She killed Lola! Dad, are you going to take a murderer as your daughter?”

Todd was silent.
Immediately, Pier came up with an idea. He squinted at Anna, “Since you are so forthright, why don’t you go to the party with me tonight? You can meet your blind date by the way.“”
Todd was displeased, “How can this work?! A blind date. should happen on a formal occasion! At least she should dress up!”
The next day, Pier took Anna, who was dressed up, out the door.
The car ran over the thin snow and stopped firmly in front of the gate of a high–end restaurant. This was a coffee shop decorated in a very European style. Walking through the porch, there was a long corridor of famous paintings. This was a place where high–class people liked to patronize, and it was also a place where Carlos often came to meet clients.
From the moment Anna entered the door, she recognized the place. She followed Pier through the long corridor. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the famous paintings on the walls on both sides. These paintings had not been replaced, and all of them had been left traces of time. Memories instantly flooded back to her.
At that time, Carlos had just taken over the family business and was very busy every day. Anna had often gotten up early and come here to wait for him, even just to say good morning to him until one day Carlos couldn’t hold back anymore, walked up to her, and tapped the table with his slender fingers. Anna was very excited inside. But Carlos frowned tightly, pursed his lips, and asked, “You think it’s fun?” ?”
Anna didn’t feel offended. She smiled and looked directly into

Carlos’s eyes, “I couldn’t find you, so I can only come here and wait.”
“You couldn’t find me because I didn’t want to see you at all.” Carlos’s eyes were cold.
“Don’t you miss me at all? I miss you every day!”
The more setbacks she suffered, the more courageous she became.
Memories were bitter, and she stopped in time. She followed Pier’s guidance to an open–air balcony.
It started to snow again. Pier blinked mischievously, “Just wait here. Someone will come to see you.”
Anna saw the subtle changes in his expression but didn’t question him. She immediately sat down and waited there obediently. No waiter came to serve, no tea or snacks. She didn’t say a word and just waited until the sunset. The snow covered the ground with layers of crystal, and even her head was covered with a layer of snow. But no one showed up.
In the upstairs box, a cold face was leaning against the window. Carlos shook the red wine in his hand. Her / embarrassment seemed a good show in his eyes. After
repeated observations, he asked Pier, “How long has she been waiting there?”
