“And …” Charleen Davis blocked out what Andrea Jones was about to say and continued, “Neal Williams’ mother was there at dinner tonight. What did she say at the end, how did she say it, do you remember?”
The hands resting on his knees, clenched. andrea jones nodded and said sullenly, “… remember.”
“Then you tell Mom again.”
The throat, like being stuffed with a ball of cotton, called her some breathless. Taking a deep breath, she spoke with difficulty and slowly: “She said … Neal Williams and I, are not suitable.”
Charleen Davis held her daughter’s hand tightly, tightly, her eyes, already red.
“And do you understand her subtext?” Asked again, the tone changed.
Andrea Jones bit her lip, but couldn’t hide the embarrassment and pain, “My past, it’s too unpleasant … for their family to accept. Between him and me, the gap is too big.”
Once these words came out, tears, has slipped from the corner of the eyes. One by one, hitting the back of the hand, cool and piercing.
Charleen Davis whimpered and sadly turned her face away, her tears soaking her pillow in one go.
Andrea Jones was heartbroken. Leaning down, she put Charleen Davis in a hug, “Mom, don’t you cry. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have upset you …”
“Andrea, Mom doesn’t think your past is embarrassing, in Mom’s eyes you are the best daughter Mom has ever had!” Charleen Davis hugged Andrea Jones in her heart, her voice hoarse, “But that’s why mom can’t let other families look down on you. Andrea, Mom loves you so much that she can’t let you suffer from other people’s aggression, do you understand? Andrea, I’m sorry.”
“Understand, I understand all of it.” Andrea Jones cried and nodded, reaching out to wipe her mother’s tears, “Mom, you’re not well, don’t cry … I listen to you … I listen to you all the time.”
…
Wiping away her tears, Andrea Jones took several breaths before finally pulling open the door and stepping back out.
Neal Williams is still guarding the door.
Quietly leaning against the door, waiting quietly.
When he saw Andrea Jones come out, he didn’t immediately approach, but simply asked in a low voice, “Crying?”
The two simple words almost brought tears to her eyes again.
Barely raising her lips, she slowly walked closer to him. She tried her best to speak in a very relaxed and easy tone, “Isn’t it still grabbing that case of Mr. Yu recently? You go back to work first.”
Neal Williams’ eyes fixed on her with the look of someone who wanted to see right through her, “Is this a way to kick me out?”
Heart trembling, she was looked down, her hand clenched, fingertips clasped into the flesh.
“That’s not what I meant …”
“And what do you mean?” Neal Williams cocked his head and continued to stare at her.
“I … just don’t want to hold you up. Don’t even come back these days.”
Hands pocketed in his pockets, his eyes aggravated with a hidden storm.
Don’t come?
Does it mean in the future, never to appear?
“Give me a reason!” Each word, bitten extremely hard.
“There’s really no reason. I … just want you to do a good job.”
“Andrea Jones, do you know what it’s like when you lie?”
She just bit her lip and didn’t say anything.
He grunted, “This is what you look like now! You don’t even dare to raise your head, you don’t even dare to look at me! If you can’t lie like that, why make it hard for yourself?”
“… I’m not lying.” She tried very hard to make her words of rebuttal, a little more convincing. However, the flabby tone could not even fool herself.
“Can’t tell me the truth? Can’t tell me what’s really going on?” With two questions in a row, Neal Williams’ disappointment couldn’t be more obvious.
He thought that after last night, his position in her heart would be more or less different. However, now …
She was clearly hiding something from him.
So, to her, she is actually still an outsider?
Or …
But it’s … optional …
“You should stop asking, nothing really happened …” eyelashes trembling, in the end, she still just said so stubbornly.
The embarrassment and humiliation of tonight, in front of him, was hard for her to talk about.
Even though he knew about her past and, acted like he didn’t care at all, but … she didn’t have the courage to mention it again in front of him. Even, she hoped he could completely forget about her past unpleasantness.
How I wish, in front of him, she had no flaws at all …
“You go ahead, please.” Once again, ‘drive away’.
Neal Williams stared at her with downcast eyes, standing there stolidly, refusing to move.
Andrea Jones turned around with the intention of leaving before the tears fell from her nose.
He ran out of patience and scooped her up from behind, holding her categorically. The slender body, by his domineering turn. Forced to take a step back, the whole person was forcefully against the wall.
He bent his head, and his heavy, hidden anger sprayed on her face.
“Neal Williams, get your hands off me.” This was a hospital, and the eyes of people coming and going were looking toward them.
But he didn’t care, he just looked at her coldly, “Tell me clearly, and I’ll let you go! If you can’t, I don’t mind spending time with you like this!”
“You’re cheating!” She was mortified.
“Just see if you want to tell the truth.”
Tears dropping from his eyes, hooded eyes looking fixedly at him. Heartache like a knife stirring, “Neal Williams, we … are not right … so, you let go of me and go back.”
“Who told you that we weren’t right for each other? Hmm?”
“…,” she couldn’t answer.
“Without trying, who can be sure we’re not right?” Neal Williams pressed again. With a cold grunt, “I don’t think we could be any more suitable. At least …”
He paused, bent his head, and lowered his voice to a whisper, “In bed, we couldn’t be better suited! You’ll reject Lewis Brown, but you won’t reject me! And, Andrea Jones, you have to admit, you like me kissing you, you like me touching you, and you even expect me to give you more … Last night, I wasn’t the only one who felt something!”
“You have to stop saying that!” Andrea Jones’ little face turned red with anger and shame. How dare he say such things openly in a public place!
“I can keep my mouth shut, but which of what I just said can you deny?”
Andrea Jones is red with anxiety, “Don’t you bully me …”
“Then tell me what’s going on. Andrea Jones, I have limited patience. Perhaps I could just go ask your mother?” Neal Williams was also a little annoyed, and his tone couldn’t help but increase.
“Don’t!” Andrea Jones grabbed his sleeve nervously.
Glancing at her clenched hand, Neal Williams asked, “Your mom doesn’t like us together?”
“It’s not that I don’t like …” Andrea Jones took a deep breath, lowered her eyes slightly, and said in one breath, “Tonight, we have your mother for our meal… …”
“My mother?” Neal Williams stared.
Andrea Jones tried to back away some, but he reached out and wrapped his arms around her. “You’re not going anywhere until we get that straight.”
“The next thing, in fact, I do not say, you can also guess about …”
“I can’t guess.” Neal Williams stared at her coldly, “Just because one sentence, my mom said we weren’t right, you’re desperate to push me away? Not even the slightest thought of fighting for it?”
Why wouldn’t she want to fight for it?
But, with that embarrassing past … that even she doesn’t dare to look at herself …
“My past, your mother, everyone in the Nguyenfamily, they’ve all heard from Olivia Scott … Neal Williams, with a past like mine, if I did get together with you, it would only make people look down on you.”
Her past?
Neal Williams’ tall form shook hard.
He couldn’t believe what she had gone through tonight!
Being humiliated like that by Olivia Scott in front of so many people?
And …
It’s all because of him …
Heart, whipped by guilt and pain interlaced.
Complex eyes, glued to Andrea Jones. she choked back tears, “Not everyone cares about my past like you do … everyone else does except you! Including myself!”
“Don’t back down, Andrea Jones, leave all this to me!” Neal Williams held her little face firmly so her teary eyes would meet his, “I just need you to hold on a little longer! Believe me, I will never let you regret ever sticking up for me!”
His assurance, so firm and strong.
Every word, knocked on her heart, made her heart tremble, heartache.
Crying and grabbing his fingers, she looked at him with tears in her eyes, “If … I insist, you promise you won’t give up midway?”
Neal Williams’ eyes were particularly dark, and his heavy breath sprayed on her face, “Andrea Jones, if you want answers, then find them yourself! No amount of promises from me is as solid as the answers you get from doing it yourself! Understand?”
She didn’t say anything, just bit her lip and chewed his words numbly.
Unable to resist any longer, Neal Williams bent his head a little closer to her. Her eyelashes trembled as her breath approached, and she subconsciously stepped back a bit. He moved in again and pressed his lips to hers.
Four lips meet.
each other, there was a moment of bewilderment.
Finally …
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing. The hot tongue patiently cracked her sandalwood mouth, delicately depicting her neat teeth, tempting her to boldly linger with herself.
Such a man is too enchanted, enough to drive all women crazy.
Dizzy, Andrea Jones subconsciously clasped his fingers. With the initiative in his hands, she could only lean against the wall like a trapped rabbit, allowing him to take her at his mercy.
Neal Williams kissed her feverishly, his teeth grinding against her lips and sucking heavily, as if he wanted to draw her into his body and hide her in his heart, never to let go .
The upright form moved closer and closer, their bodies fitting tightly together, grinding together constantly by instinct, like a caress. The shirt on her body was messy, with buttons almost straining open. Soft snow-white half of the breast inadvertently exposed …
The sudden glimpse of spring was so hot that Neal Williams felt it all over his body. The uncontrollable desire that came out regardless of the occasion was clear, and he could only impatiently hold her tighter, sliding his palms down and wrapping them around her soft waist.
Andrea Jones was embarrassed, but her strength and sanity had been drained by his skillful kiss. The eyes are confused and half-lit, covered with a confusing mist of water, the look drove Neal Williams crazy.
Yes, he knew he was crazy.
In all these years, there are more than a few women who have been around in his life, but no woman has ever been able to attract him with such ease.
Not the most beautiful, not the most gentle, and not to please him, but it is such a woman – it is she Andrea Jones, tickling his heart, hooking his soul, picking all the nerves of his desire, can not be extricated …
“Ahem …”
Suddenly, a cough sounded.
The two were stunned. Back to God, Andrea Jones small face a red, hand subconsciously grabbed Neal Williams, hanging eyes, some panic at him.
Neal Williams then let go of Andrea Jones.
To her eyes for help, the heart has been incredibly soft. A long arm wrapped around her and swept her up behind her, only then did she turn to face the figure.
“Auntie.” Neal Williams called out in a humble and courteous manner.
