She gritted her teeth and chopped, looking at the sharp blade with some trepidation.
Not forgetting to spare her mind to make small talk with her, “My mother doesn’t like you, this must be clear to you too, right?”
Andrea Jones smiles bitterly, “… Well. I know.”
Bonnie Williams isn’t hiding anything, “What did you do to offend my mom? The last few times I’ve called, my mom has been talking about Neal, so much so that I really thought he was looking for a woman.”
Andrea Jones stood by without speaking.
How did he offend Jiang’s mother?
In addition to what happened between her and her mother, more … still care about what happened to her six years ago, right?
Thinking about this, she felt a slight pain in her heart, and the inferiority complex in the corner derived again.
When she didn’t answer for a long time, Bonnie Williams looked at her sideways and touched her dark look, she raised her voice and said cheerfully, “Don’t think about it. Don’t worry, you just have to teach me how to make sweet and sour pork, and I’ll take care of my mom and dad’s side for you. I’m on your side anyway. As for the grandparents, Neal and I are both on it together, so I’m not afraid of not being able to convince them.”
“Thank you! Then I’ll have to teach you this dish even if I burn the kitchen down!” Andrea Jones was busy rolling up her sleeves and getting to work.
Andrea Jones regretted that she hadn’t said that. As Neal Williams said, in the kitchen, Bonnie Williams is a ticking time bomb, ready to explode.
The boiling oil splashed out, she threw the spatula to hide far away, but still could not avoid being hit. On the exposed arm, the clean, snow-white skin was immediately blown out of a small bubble.
Andrea Jones had to persuade her to give up, otherwise no one would be able to eat for a while.
But Bonnie Williams just won’t do it, “Don’t be mean to people, if I say I have to learn, I have to learn. Why are you so impatient to talk me out of it?”
Andrea Jones is so innocent.
But, come to think of it, it’s really hard to tell her to give up. People who can stick around for ten years for a man who doesn’t love them are probably horribly persistent in everything.
Andrea Jones glanced over at Bonnie Williams, who was looking through the closed kitchen door with an eager eye, as if she were looking through the door to the outside.
Andrea Jones laughed a little, “Leave it to me, you go out and check it out.”
Bonnie Williams nuzzled and twisted her face for a moment without speaking.
In the kitchen, the light blue light fire lightly imprinted on that beautiful face, eyelashes slightly drooping, shadows floating under the eyes, making her look a kind of indescribable despondency.
…
Ingram Gray smells a fragrance as he enters the door.
“Sweet and sour ribs?” He raises an eyebrow at Neal Williams and sinks his steps in.
Neal Williams was worried about what was going on in the kitchen, but the fact that it had calmed down gave him a lot of peace of mind.
“Sit down for a while, you should be almost done.”
After throwing his jacket on the couch, Ingram Gray sat down. Turning his face to the kitchen again, he said, “You’re showing off to me now, aren’t you? I see Andrea Jones is a good cook after all.”
“What? Envious?” Neal Williams inevitably looked a little smug.
This question, Ingram Gray did not immediately answer. Just, the mind drifted down, do not know remember what, silent for a while before saying: “envy. But … I prefer the ones who can’t cook.”
Neal Williams looked at him and then at him again before asking tentatively, “You got a woman you like?”
Ingram Gray was stunned. Looking back, only to spit out two cool words, “No.”
“So why not Bonnie Williams?” Neal Williams’ question, off the top of his head.
Frowning slightly, Ingram Gray looked at him, “I haven’t seen you for a while, why have you become such a pussy?”
“…” Neal Williams was choked, remembering just Bonnie Williams that eager look, the heart has a kind of indescribable pain. In the end, he just stood up, poured two glasses of red wine, divided a glass to him, before speaking lightly: “I am not interested in your personal feelings. However, if you really don’t want to be entangled by Bonnie Williams again, I advise you to hurry up and find a woman. This is good for you and her!”
His sincere advice.
The hand of Ingram Gray holding the wine glass stiffened without noticing. His eyes dropped, looking at the vivid red liquid in the glass, finally just hummed ‘not interested in women’, and then tilted his head and finished it in one sip.
The bitter taste, from the throat all the way into the heart.
The bitterness is a little bitter.
Neal Williams frowned and stared at him coldly, “We’ve been brothers for so many years, you tell me the truth-”
“Hmm.” Ingram Gray grunted through his nose.
“You’re gay? Like men?”
The corners of someone’s lips twitched and his face looked at him grimly, “Yeah, would you believe me when I say that I’ve been masturbating to you and Garret Miller since I was a kid?”
Neal Williams shuddered directly, a scene like that is simply unimaginable.
“If you’re not gay, why haven’t you even found a woman in all these years? Even if you don’t like my sister, but, there are a lot of women chasing you, you can pick any kind of woman you want, is there none that can meet your eyes?”
In the face of a series of questions from Neal Williams, Ingram Gray pursed his lips and did not answer.
Neal Williams was so angry at his dead face that he grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, “Just don’t say anything, you! Sooner or later, you’ll be smothered to death! And when that happens, Bonnie Williams will turn her back on you, and you won’t regret it!”
Ingram Gray reached out and blocked the pillow. Half the time, he just watched the pillow fall to the floor, fuming. Eyes, no light.
Until …
The door to the kitchen, was opened from the inside.
An all-too-familiar voice came from the kitchen.
“Go wash your hands, all of you! It’s almost time to eat!”
The bright voice, without the arrogance of the past, like a teenage girl leaps and soars.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he met the pupils of those delighted eyes, and his chest crashed down for no reason.
Today’s Bonnie Williams is very different from her usual self. In the past, she was exquisite like a porcelain doll in a window, too perfect to find any flaws.
But, today she …
The hair is randomly pulled behind the head, occasionally a few down, some messy, but, on the contrary, beautiful and moving.
On top of the green skirt, there was a completely mismatched men’s shirt. Another apron was put over it.
Such a her, not necessarily more beautiful than the previous her, but, so vivid, so real.
“Ah! What a mess!” Contacting his lost look, Bonnie Williams just remembered her own wretched appearance at this moment.
With a tongue out, she twisted her head and put the sweet and sour pork in Andrea Jones’ hand, scowling at her, “Idiot, you didn’t warn me! Am I ugly as hell now?”
Andrea Jones looked her over from top to bottom and laughed, “That’s not very nice! Go ahead and take your shirt off, I’ll take care of this.”
It’s really ugly!
That’s why he showed that kind of unreadable look!
The light at the bottom of Ingram Gray’s eyes cooled slightly as he averted his gaze.
Neal Williams approached Andrea Jones and set the dish in her hand on the table, frowning at her several more times.
“Don’t worry, I’m really fine.”
“Staying in a kitchen with Bonnie Williams and not getting hurt?” Neal Williams still feels uneasy.
“No, really.” Andrea Jones glanced at a thoughtful Ingram Gray and added, “Mr. Wei, you must try this sweet and sour pork later, it was made especially for you.”
“Call me Liang Chen as Neal did.” Ingram Gray got up from the couch and skimmed his eyes to the table, seeing the dark, gooey mess on the table, his face became a little embarrassed, “Is this your handiwork?”
“What?” Neal Williams asked, following his line of sight as well.
Ingram Gray patted Neal Williams sympathetically on the shoulder, “I take back the first thing I said when I entered the room.”
Bonnie Williams took off her shirt and came downstairs and happened to hear Ingram Gray’s remark and asked Neal Williams, “What was the first thing he said?”
Neal Williams coughed dryly and took Andrea Jones to sit down, “Forget it. Have a seat! I’ll bring the rest of the food.”
“Neal Williams!”
Bonnie Williams wouldn’t let him go.
Ingram Gray pulled up a chair and sat down gracefully, telling the truth: “I just think it’s a little scary to be so crafty.”
A word out, Bonnie Williams tugged Neal Williams hand a stiff. The little bubbles on his arm that were burned by the oil appeared more clearly.
Andrea Jones glanced worriedly at Bonnie Williams and whispered to Neal Williams, “Is he always this direct in his words?”
“That’s just the way he is.” Neal Williams shrugs his shoulders.
Andrea Jones is getting more and more sympathetic to Bonnie Williams. “Mr. Wei, this is actually …”
“This is actually Andrea’s first time making it, and it looks a little scary. The other dishes are beautifully done, so I’ll go serve them! You guys eat first.” Bonnie Williams had snatched Andrea Jones’ words, lost in thought and took a step out, then suddenly lost in thought and folded back, reaching for the plate of sweet and sour pork, “I’ll take this away.”
The hand, just touching the plate, was suddenly grabbed by Ingram Gray’s hand.
Everyone was stunned.
Including Bonnie Williams herself.
“Did you do this?” Ingram Gray suddenly opened his mouth.
Bonnie Williams proudly refuses to admit, “No!”
He sneered, “Can you fool me? If it wasn’t you, what are these things in your hands?”
With Bonnie Williams, he paid close attention.
So …
Is it true that he actually cares about Bonnie Williams?
Andrea Jones thought this optimistically, but the next moment …
Ingram Gray’s words let everyone know that these are delusions of grandeur.
“Bonnie Williams, don’t do this for me again! First of all, even if you love something, you’re in the mood to eat it, and you can’t eat anything in a bad mood! Second, the more you do for me, only makes me feel more tired, the more I want to get away from you! Third …”
“You shut up!” Ingram Gray’s words were suddenly interrupted by Bonnie Williams.
She was as white as if she had died once.
It was as if her chest was blocked by something, making it nearly impossible for her to breathe.
“Ingram Gray, who do you think you are to talk to me like that! You are so arrogant, so reckless to hurt me, but only because I love you! But I’m telling you now – Ingram Gray, you listen to me well, I Bonnie Williams does not love you at all!”
The tears can’t help but fall, like broken pearls, when you’re clearly saying ‘no love’.
She stared hard at him, staring at him firmly, as if she wanted to see him through. The heart hurts like that, it hurts like being lingered by millions of knives, but the mouth is stubbornly refusing to admit defeat, “The reason why I have been entangled, I am nothing but a dead end with myself! Since childhood, who does not let me, arch me, only you … only you dare not put me in the eyes. I am not willing to!”
Ingram Gray’s eyes are slightly cool, and his deep eyes contain emotions that are hard to read.
He looked at her closely, “Really?”
“It couldn’t be more true!” She raised her head in defiance. Such stubbornness, also do not know whether it was broken heart, or wounded pride, or … both …
“Very well!” He nodded, “So, is it true that from today onwards, as long as I’m nice to you, you’ll never pester me again?”
She shuddered hard.
