Not too far away, he just looked at her like that. The deep eyes, like the stars of a dark night, made Sammy Jones look at her with fascination.
This man …
She couldn’t get any closer.
“Mr. Williams is calling you!”
The colleague next to her nudged her, and she came back to her senses.
“Yes, Mr. Williams is asking you out, what are you waiting for? Hurry back!”
Another colleague added a comment.
They didn’t notice the wrong look on Sammy Jones’ face, as if Neal Williams was asking out himself, more excited than the Sammy Jones party.
Such a situation could not be more embarrassing.
Once, she was actually foolish enough to think that Neal Williams had his heart set on her …
But it turns out that it was all because of Andrea Jones.
Just because Andrea Jones …
Heart, tingling.
But still smiling, he met Neal Williams’ gaze without condescension and nodded graciously in response to his invitation, “Sure.”
Even if you hide again, you know in the end that you can’t hide from this day.
…
Quiet cafe.
The surrounding area is full of couples.
The sound of violin and piano intertwined and responded in the restaurant, lingering and pleasant.
Such an atmosphere is too suitable for couples. So … is also too unsuitable for them …
In a trance, Sammy Jones remembered that the last time he asked him and Andrea Jones out, it was the same kind of cafe.
How ironic …
At that time, how could she be so blind?
No wonder Andrea Jones hadn’t shown up that day and disappeared …
No wonder Neal Williams left her alone that day in spite of his manners and left in a hurry …
And …
That night, Andrea Jones didn’t return to the hospital all night.
All the connections together, Sammy Jones feels more and more ridiculous and pathetic.
The night she gloated and wanted to share her joy in its entirety with Andrea Jones, she hid it from herself and Neal Williams …
The heart aches again.
“Miss Jones.”
Her thoughts were jerked back by the sound of Neal Williams’ voice. She teased her lips at the sound of the rusty call.
It’s embarrassing, isn’t it?
“Mr. Williams.”
She returned him politely and more detachedly.
Neal Williams gave her a look, “I’m sorry about that …”
The three words that came out of nowhere made Sammy Jones’ nose tingle, but he didn’t know what to say.
“Andrea Jones hasn’t been having a good time lately …,” Neal Williams said.
“You’re so attached to her.”
Sammy Jones almost blurted it out. It was only when he said it that he realized how bitter his words were.
Neal Williams’ eyes came over and she had looked away, stirring awkwardly with her coffee spoon in her hand, and added, “I’m just happy for her.”
“Is that so?”
Neal Williams looked at her across the table, “She cares about you, and no one knows that better than you. So, the days you were angry, she was so uncomfortable, she couldn’t even sleep well.”
Sammy Jones grabbed his coffee cup.
The scalding heat, from the wall of the cup into the palm of her hand, but she did not feel pain.
“I don’t sleep well either. She at least has you to care about, but who has ever cared about me?”
For the past few days, images of her and Neal Williams together have been turning over and over in my mind.
She didn’t want to get into this mess with Andrea Jones, but, thinking about it, she couldn’t just accept it.
As he said, the thorn was planted there, and it was not so easy to pull out at all.
“That’s not fair of you to say.” Neal Williams’ eyes deepened slightly, “Andrea Jones cares about you, she cares about you.”
“If she cared about me, she wouldn’t have kept me in the dark about you guys until now, and she wouldn’t have waited until I came to poke at her in person to tell me the truth!”
Sammy Jones, if she hadn’t tried so hard to defend your pride, I would have rejected you the first moment I understood your feelings.”
Sammy Jones gave a hard shake.
The phrase ‘refused’ was said with such determination and without hesitation.
For her this deeply hidden in the heart of the adoration, he really is a little … a little not rare …
Perhaps pride and self-esteem was poked by him not even left in the bubble, the tip of the nose is sore, almost to drop tears.
Instead, she bowed her head, swallowed her tears hard, and sneered, “So, I’m thanking her. She’s the one who helped me preserve my poor self-esteem?”
“I’ve made it clear that it’s up to you to understand. sammy jones, you need to figure out–” Neal Williams looked at her heavily, his expression slightly strained. “You’re losing someone who really cares about you and loves you by falling out with Andrea Jones. And Andrea Jones, even if she loses you, she’ll get all of me! I don’t mind giving her all the love you can give her to make up for it!”
Sammy Jones stayed there and didn’t move, half the time he could only stare blankly at his coffee.
To make up for all the love she lost and give it to her?
What deep words …
But why is she in such a mess?
No longer concerned with her emotions, Neal Williams had reached out to the waiter for the bill, and finally just dropped the line, “Think about it!”
Say it, start, and leave.
The whole time, never looked at her again.
……
Sitting there blankly, Sammy Jones didn’t notice that two people were listening to their conversation clearly with their ears open in the small cubicle next door where the screen was blocking them.
“What’s going on here?” Christina Sanchez listened in confusion and looked at Penny Brown, who looked in front of her with a shocked face.
Tomorrow is Lewis Brown’s wedding day, and today Penny Brown asked her to come out and pick out a gift.
Christina Sanchez is still fond of her daughter-in-law, who has become a thing of the past. And, in her mind, she will still be her daughter-in-law sooner or later.
Not to mention the fact that both parties are right for each other, Penny Brown is also dutiful and attentive to herself. How to see how to look better than Andrea Jones.
“She’s Andrea Jones’ sister, Sammy Jones, legal counsel in Neal’s firm.”
Penny Brown back to Christina Sanchez’s words.
“Sammy Jones?” froze Christina Sanchez. Already alarm was floating in her mind.
Is this also Charleen Davis’ daughter?
The face was instantly colder, with a few moments of mockery at the corners of her lips, “She likes us Neal too?”
“Not really. It looks like the two sisters have fought to blacken their faces.”
“What is Charleen Davis up to again?” Christina Sanchez murmured. Christina Sanchez murmured. penny Brown didn’t hear her clearly and asked, “Auntie, what did you say?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.” Christina Sanchez just shook her head, no words. Through the screen to look at Andrea Jones sitting there, just a back, but also off the shadow of Charleen Davis.
This also makes her feel uncomfortable with how she looks.
The good mood of the whole day suddenly fell to the bottom, only to draw back his eyes and say with Penny Brown, “Since everything is bought, let’s go back too.”
“Good.” Penny Brown took one look at Christina Sanchez’s unhappy face and was amused, but couldn’t help but say, “Don’t take it personally, Auntie. Neal is only temporarily bewitched, and he’ll get used to it.”
“You know what you’re doing, Penny, don’t worry, your aunt knows how you feel and has taken it to heart. You just have to wait, and sooner or later Neal will be back in good shape.”
Upon hearing her words, Penny Brown’s mood went up and she breathed a sigh of relief.
It looks like mom taught me right.
Fixing the future mother-in-law is more useful than anything else.
Sooner or later, Neal Williams is going to marry her anyway!
“Auntie, your words Penny can take to heart. Then, I’ll leave the future to you! Don’t worry, I will wait and wait for Neal to collect his heart.” Penny Brown eagerly carried all the things in her hands.
“Yes, as long as you don’t get discouraged.” Christina Sanchez patted the back of Penny Brown’s hand, “Men, sometimes you want to get, always have to play a little trick. There is no right or wrong in love, and sooner or later, he will understand your feelings.”
The following day.
The Royal Court Hotel.
The wedding of the Nguyen family.
It was grand and lively.
Guests from various families gathered together and mingled.
Lewis Brown, the groom, should be entertaining guests in the hall at the moment, but Viona Hall and Penny Brown looked around and couldn’t find him.
Viona Hall frowned and patted Penny Brown, “Go look around and see where the hell your brother is. How unseemly to leave Olivia Scott standing in the doorway alone with her belly.”
“Well, I’ll go look for it.”
Penny Brown answered, greeted the guests again, took her skirt and went to look for Lewis Brown.
From the vip box to the conference room, but never see his figure. From the luxurious handbag fished out the cell phone to Lewis Brown phone, dialed several times, Lewis Brown are given directly hung up.
Penny Brown had a bad feeling in her heart, but she wouldn’t give up. She just relentlessly dialed the phone out.
Lewis Brown never hung up on her since she was a kid!
In the past, when he was abroad on business, even at 3:00 in the middle of the night, he would never fail to answer a phone call to Lewis Brown.
Penny Brown was furious and dialed again.
Penny Brown yelled, “What are you doing? It’s your wedding day, you’re not going to disappear, are you? You tell me where you are now.”
“…”
At that end, there was no Lewis Brown’s voice.
Only his slightly heavy breathing.
Penny Brown didn’t notice and only asked again, “Lewis Brown, where the hell are you?”
“… 2301, you come up.” Finally opened his mouth, his voice tired and depressed.
Penny Brown was stunned for just a moment, and then, without waiting for her to regain consciousness, Lewis Brown had already hung up the phone.
Frowning, he looked at the phone and had doubts.
What is going on?
Why does he sound in a bad mood?
Suddenly, there was a very ominous feeling.
Not daring to delay any longer, Penny Brown immediately put the phone into her bag and hurriedly headed for room 2301.
…
When he reached room 2301, Penny Brown was about to knock on the door when it was suddenly pulled open from the inside.
Without waiting to react, her whole body has been pulled in.
A familiar scent came over her, sending a shock through her.
Instinctively, I raised my eyes, and at first ran into Lewis Brown’s eyes, which were as deep as an ancient well. The complex and deep emotions contained in them are frightening.
Today’s Lewis Brown … is too weird …
Penny Brown looked up at him and asked worriedly, “Have you been drinking?”
Lewis Brown didn’t answer back.
Those eyes, as if fixed on her, looked only at her, and there was only room for her in their eyes.
Hands braced against the wall, trapping her firmly in place.
Penny Brown doesn’t mind this kind of proximity, and stands on tiptoe just a little to smell it. The tip of his nose, almost close to Lewis Brown’s skin.
Lewis Brown froze.
Subconsciously deflected the face.
Penny Brown reached out and broke his face back.
“Why are you drinking?”
Looking at each other, Lewis Brown was stunned.
Being held by her neck, he could not avoid it. I can smell the scent of her body, so pleasant, tantalizing his heart, so he almost lost control.
“Why are you looking at me like that? I’m not Olivia Scott! I’m asking you, why don’t you stay down here when it’s time to greet the guests and why are you in the room drinking wine?”
Penny Brown has been on the attack continuously.
Lewis Brown was silent for a long time and finally squeezed the words out from between his lips, “I will declare this wedding over.”
Penny Brown thought she had misheard and did not speak for a few moments, only staring at him in bewilderment.
Lewis Brown let go of her hand and let her go, “Go down, I’ll be right down.”
