When the rumor spread in the school, Winnie's reaction after hearing it was: It's true.
She is not a heartthrob that everyone likes. People who usually hate and are jealous of Winnie naturally don't mind saying bad things about her. It would be better if it could make her depressed and take a break from school.
Unfortunately, Winnie only expressed concern on the surface. Although she was unhappy and angry in her heart, she was not hurt much in her heart.
Winnie can't change the opinions of those who hate her, and she doesn't need to please them. And Winnie, who is calm and can think independently, doesn't need to explain anything. The classmates around her contributed a lot of sympathy points to this.
"You should stop reading the forum recently. Someone is spraying shit all over his mouth. It smells really bad."
A group of people gathered around Winnie to defend her. Although I don’t want to speak ill of a dead person, we can’t have collective amnesia and selectively forget his actions just because he is dead, right?
"Don't take it to heart, they will forget it after a while."
As if she was touched by everyone's concern, Winnie nodded with slightly red eyes: "Thank you, it's good to have you."
The girl who was jealous of Winnie touched her nose in embarrassment, waved her hands in embarrassment and said, "Don't take their words too seriously. They will only be happy if you cry."
It's not like no one wanted to take advantage of campus public opinion to cause trouble for Winnie, but they never succeeded. She usually follows her friends, and when these people cause trouble, they are stopped by passing students.
After finally waiting for her to be alone, something happened on her side. She either fell and twisted her feet, or was suddenly hit in the bridge of the nose by a basketball flying from nowhere.
The spray of nosebleeds attracted countless shocked looks.
Just, quite evil. Some people say that Winnie is a witch, and even those who hate Winnie scoff at this statement. But only a few people who had troubled Winnie knew that they had not had a good night's sleep in three days. As soon as I fall asleep, I start to have nightmares, and I can't forget those nightmares even after I wake up.
Time flies to December, and many topics have changed on the forum. Serial murders have not appeared in everyone's topics for a long time.
It has just arrived in December, and the students around me are already discussing where to go during this year’s long vacation. Moreover, Christmas is coming soon, and those who have boyfriends and girlfriends are also thinking about what gifts to buy for their partners.
One of the trio was already single, and Louisa had a boyfriend, their classmate Martin Colclough, who was also a friend of Leonard Gaskell.
When Winnie asked Leonard Gaskell to help check the stalker's license plate last month, he also helped. After going back and forth like this, the two of them became familiar with each other.
"What do you think I should give as a gift? How about a couple's scarf?" Luisa asked her friends for their opinions. There is a big difference between a person in a relationship and a single person, especially when the relationship is new and fresh, half of the ten sentences in the conversation are about the boyfriend.
Melissa absently browsed the online news and said casually: "You can tie yourself with a bow and give it to him."
Louisa frowned and thought: "It's not impossible, right?"
Melissa looked up from her phone in surprise, stared at her and said, "Are you serious?" She was just joking.

He also heard the sound and looked over, but he had no other thoughts and was just curious.
Seeing their reaction, Luisa rolled her eyes and lowered her voice and said, "Hey, come on, we are all adults. This kind of thing is not uncommon in high school, okay? Please, don't look surprised."
She looked at the two of them in disbelief and said, "Have you never tried it?" Louisa squinted her eyes and looked them up and down.
Melissa glared at her angrily: "My house has a gate!"
"Oh~ I understand." Louisa suppressed a smile and asked Winnie: "What about you? Our school beauty has never had a boyfriend, right?"
Winnie raised her head, folded her arms and said arrogantly: "Oh, I'm not interested in those naive little boys." My sister doesn't like them.
The two people immediately showed a look of seeing through but not telling. Just say: Just brag.
Winnie:......
Is there any mistake, is there also an inexplicable desire to win in this aspect? Their national conditions were different. At that time, Winnie was only worried about not getting into college, and her understanding of such things was limited to the little yellow mosquito stage. Who dares to try without fear of having their legs broken by their parents?
In the infinite game, she feels freer. She finds it interesting to see other handsome guys, but she can't help but think of her as a female ghost who can absorb yang energy.
Louisa straightened Winnie's long hair and said, "If someone asks you for Christmas, just agree."
Isn’t it fun to be alone at Christmas? Winnie still lives alone. She and Melissa may have appointments by then, so it would be bad to be left alone.
"I think Leonard is good, he doesn't have a girlfriend yet." Melissa analyzed to Winnie: "His grades are also good, and he doesn't seem to have any bad habits. And I feel like he cares about you quite a bit. "
The three of them turned back and looked in that direction. The boys were talking on their phones and didn't know what they were talking about.
Winnie did not refuse: "Let's talk about it then."
Everyone has appointments for Christmas, and it’s hard for Winnie to disturb the Eisen family during the holidays. It's better to hang out with someone than to be alone. Rhett would like to date her on Christmas, but their jobs are uncertain and they may have to work that day. During the chat, he showed a little intention, but in the end he didn't say it out loud.
I have to say that BAU is really busy with work! Since they met last month, they only chatted online. He was busy with work, and Winnie didn't pay attention to him. The movie they agreed on has not been finished yet.
Although Dr. Reed's clever mind is very suitable for Winnie's requirements, Winnie feels that the busyness of the work is not enough. Even though Red didn't say anything, Winnie still noticed that he had a crush on her. Winnie wants to find a boyfriend who can appear in front of her at any time when she needs him, instead of a boyfriend who travels frequently and treats his home as a hotel.
Winnie has positive emotional needs for her partner. She has no shortage of material things and no need to worry about safety. The only thing she needs is companionship. It's not about being with her all the time, but having someone by her side when she feels lonely, someone to chat with when she's bored, and someone who can be by her side when she wants to share.
In this way, it seems that the classmates are not bad? She's just looking for a boyfriend, not getting married, so her demands shouldn't be too high.
…
Something new happened in the town. Lisa heard about it while chatting with other housewives and shared it with Winnie.
I heard that the adopted daughter of the Coleman family pushed a girl down the slide in the park and broke her leg. Although his adopted daughter refused to admit it and said that the girl fell by herself, the parents who heard the news did not dare to let their children play with the Coleman children.
The residents who live on this street are not very familiar with the people who live in single-family villas. They usually run into and chat with their neighbors when they go out for a walk. But it's still too far from here, and the Colemans have to drive to get to this street. Lisa's impression of the Coleman family was that they were wealthy and respectable people. She didn't even know what the Colemans did for a living.
Winnie didn't see the situation with her own eyes, so she didn't comment on it. After hearing the news, she talked about it and forgot about it, but Kate Coleman didn't think so. She had been very distressed recently.
Kate Coleman had a previous miscarriage and gave birth to a stillborn baby. She has been plagued by nightmares ever since. She has seen a psychiatrist but she still cannot control her mindfulness. She was so filled with guilt about the child that she buried the child's urn in the garden and planted roses above it. But this kind of sustenance was not enough, and finally she decided to adopt a child in an orphanage.
So she and her husband John went to the orphanage, where they met Esther, a quiet and sensible 9-year-old girl who liked to draw. They successfully completed the adoption procedures and took the girl home.
The girl is as sensible as she imagined, and her younger daughter Max also likes this sister very much. Kate was relieved that Max had someone to keep him company. And they did get along well, Esther took good care of her little sister, and Max relied on her.
It was normal at first, but gradually Kate realized something was wrong. Kate discovers that Esther is not who she appears. She speaks dirty words, always appears when she is having sex with her husband, and looks at them weirdly. Kate also discovered that Esther could play the piano, but when she arrived at home on the first day, she said that she was very envious of people who could play the piano and wanted to learn from her.
Kate is a pianist, but her husband does not understand music, her son is not interested in piano, and her youngest daughter is deaf. As she taught Esther the piano, Kate felt a sense of satisfaction as the child showed a talent for music. She finally had a child who could teach and inherit her talents.
But she discovered that Esther could actually play Tchaikovsky's piano music fluently, whereas a day ago the child acted like a novice. When Kate asked her why she was disguising, Esther argued that it was for her own good because one of her two children was not interested in music and the other could not hear.
Kate suddenly realized that this girl was not simple. She has two faces, and she is not as well-behaved as she appears. But when Kate told her husband, he felt that Esther was just lying to please her.
Now something like this happened again. Although her younger daughter testified, Kate had a gut feeling that the girl's broken leg had something to do with Esther. She was worried that Esther would harm her child.
On Saturday, Kate took her two daughters to the store for shopping, and happened to meet Winnie at the door who was also shopping.
Little sister Max's eyes suddenly lit up and she greeted Winnie excitedly. Although Winnie couldn't understand sign language, she could probably understand what the little girl wanted to express based on the situation.
Winnie bent down and touched the plush ball on the girl's knitted hat with a smile, "Hello, Max. ()" You can tell by her smile that she likes this little girl very much.
Seeing that Winnie remembered her name, Max smiled so brightly that his neat little baby teeth appeared, looking extremely cute. Esther, who was standing nearby, tilted her head and raised her chin slightly, her eyes falling on Winnie's face, which showed no emotion.
She is jealous of every normal woman, every mature woman who can get married and have children. Kate is, and so is Winnie.
After Winnie straightened up, Kate also smiled and stretched out her hand to say hello to Winnie: "Hi, hello, I'm Kate Coleman." ?()_[()]?『Come to[]♀see the latest chapter♀full chapter』()”
Winnie also stretched out her hand and shook her lightly: "Winnie Green."
Since the destination was the same, they walked in together and each pushed a shopping cart.
"Do you also live in the small town of Radbila?"
"Yeah, but I just moved here this summer."
"..."
They picked out what they needed and gradually moved away from each other in front of the shelves. Although Winnie heard Lisa talk about the Coleman family's adopted daughter, she didn't take it to heart.
Over there, Kate suddenly received a call from Sister Abigail at the orphanage. Esther, who was picking snacks nearby, stopped when she heard the familiar name and turned to look at Kate.
Her eyes were full of vigilance and panic, and she always felt that nothing good would come out of this phone call.
Sure enough, Kate glanced at Esther. Esther hurriedly pretended to carefully select snacks and then turned back. From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Kate walking a little further away, as if she was about to say something that she couldn't hear.
Esther pinched the bag of snacks, her eyes completely cold. !
