Thinking about all the things, he frowned. The warmth and sweetness of the moment are keeping him from making a move.
Marshall Johnson drove, occasionally crossing his eyes to look at his increasingly tight frown, “Second young man, what’s wrong? Something on your mind?”
Neal Williams looked back, his eyes drifting to him, and snorted, “You wouldn’t understand.”
“Che, there’s nothing about women that I don’t understand.”
“Really?”
“That’s not true. If you don’t believe me, ask.”
Neal Williams thought for a moment before saying, “If you did something wrong to your girlfriend, would you tell her?”
Marshall Johnson opened his mouth wide and stared at him in the rearview mirror, “No way? You did something wrong to Miss Jones? Cheated on her? Fell in love with another woman?”
“What a mess!” Neal Williams scolded.
Marshall Johnson even ‘tsked’ a few times, “It’s true that rich people can’t be trusted.”
“You don’t have to talk!” Neal Williams ran out of patience, “Just tell me, are you going to die and not talk, or are you going to come clean?”
“Of course it’s a dead giveaway!” Marshall Johnson did not hesitate to say, “This kind of thing is finished, women’s hearts are very narrow. On the surface may say that they do not care, but, in the heart of those little nine we men can not guess. Besides, if she doesn’t know, she won’t be troubled, and if she knows, she’ll be even sadder. How about not knowing the good. Therefore, many women say that they would rather be cheated by men for life, rather than listen to the truth.”
Neal Williams is silent.
In my mind, almost instinctively, I thought of Andrea Jones in tears and my heart throbbed.
She has enough anguish today – her mother’s illness, her sister’s lack of understanding, and the obstruction of both families have caused her pain. At a time like this, there was no way he could poke another knife in her heart.
When Andrea Jones woke up again, a street light was already on outside the window. There were no lights on in the house, and she sat in a daze on her bed, looking at the empty and gray room, filled with loss.
Even if his scent remains in the air, however, she knows clearly that he is far away.
Marshall Johnson had already returned from the airport and was waiting for her with his legs crossed .
“Miss Jones,” Marshall Johnson said as he saw her and immediately got out of the car and opened the door for her.
Andrea Jones said hello to him, got into the car, and let him drive her back. On the way, Marshall Johnson looked at her several times. Andrea Jones felt suspicious and couldn’t help but ask, “Is there something on my face?” when his eyes were cast again.
Why did his eyes look so strange?
“Ah, no …,” Marshall Johnson said, shaking his head busily. Withdrawing his eyes to go.
Thought for a moment, a moment and then turned his head to look over, “that … Jones secretary, our second youngest is really like you. Just before the plane, also called me again and again told me to send you back!”
“Yes?” Although it is so asked, however, it is heard in the heart of Hope.
By now, at this time, he should have turned off his phone.
Andrea Jones smiling eyes curved, Marshall Johnson again mouth owed, “I say, Secretary Jones, in the future, if our second young man really did something wrong, you will surely forgive him, right?”
Even if it’s something like cheating, that second young man is definitely a play on the scene. Anyone can see that his heart for Secretary Jones.
“Hmm?” Andrea Jones looked at him in the rearview mirror with some confusion, “Did he do something wrong?”
“Ah, no, of course not! I was just saying it off the top of my head. Just asking!” Marshall Johnson hurriedly said, “I just think, you guys have such a good relationship, in the future, even if anyone really did something wrong, you can definitely forgive each other.”
Andrea Jones just assumed he was casually talking about the subject. But still, she tilted her head and thought carefully, and then, shaking and nodding her head, “Well, maybe.”
If there is love, what in the world is there that cannot be forgiven?
But …
Things haven’t happened yet, and people often don’t know exactly where their bottom line is.
The following day.
Andrea Jones went to work, and Sammy Jones agreed to go on a blind date with Charleen Davis just after the case was closed.
This is the only thing that can comfort Mom’s heart right now, I’m afraid.
Charleen Davis was packing and Sammy Jones was still putting on her makeup when the doorbell suddenly rang, Sammy Jones was about to get up to answer the door but heard Charleen Davis already come out of the room, “I’ll open it, you do your job. It’s probably your Aunt Zhang coming over.”
Sammy Jones also ignored it and just kept his head down and continued to work on his own.
…
Over there.
As soon as Charleen Davis opened the door and saw the uninvited guest outside, her brow furrowed and a sense of foreboding immediately rose in her heart.
Surprisingly … Christina Sanchez…
“What? Is Mrs. Ye not going to invite me in?” Christina Sanchez was the first to speak up when she saw her just standing still in the doorway.
“I don’t think that’s necessary. I don’t really have anything to talk about with you.” Not caring about etiquette, Charleen Davis stated her unwelcome directly. Cold, detached.
When she said that, she was about to close the door behind her.
Christina Sanchez reached out and pressed the door panel down, “Are you weak-minded? Perhaps, you know what I’m here for this time!”
Charleen Davis’ hand lurched and looked up at her, “What do you mean?”
Christina Sanchez took the opportunity to walk in.
Charleen Davis couldn’t stop her, so she was left to her own devices. She didn’t answer what she just said, but just looked around the room.
Looking at the small and old rooms, she coldly snorted, “No wonder you are so deliberately trying to marry your daughter to our the Williams family, it looks like you are also afraid of suffering. Your dead husband, indeed, is not as good as our Zhigui, it is also difficult for you.”
The words of the sentence with a needle, every word with a thorn, Charleen Davis hands clenched, but the face is stubborn sneer, “really hard for you still so concerned about my life. Although now is a little bit of hardship, but at least my husband has loved me all my life, and gave me enough happiness and stability in life. I don’t have to be like you now – the children are so old, but I’m still constantly on guard to see if my husband has someone else in mind.”
Christina Sanchez blushed and stared at Charleen Davis, “What did you say?!”
Charleen Davis also did not show weakness and looked at her coldly, “Mrs. Jiang, now whether it is me who is pitiful or you who is pitiful, you know best in your own heart!”
Christina Sanchez was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Charleen Davis across the face.
Charleen Davis moved faster and snapped her hands in place first.
“Mrs. Jiang, if you want to spill your guts, please get out, you’re not welcome here!”
She looked at her coldly, and the cold light that burst out of those eyes actually made Christina Sanchez shiver.
This aura, in a trance, reminds her of her husband.
They have such a similar side.
Or is it …
Each other’s shadow still remains on each other’s heart, and time has not degraded even after the passage of time?
Thinking about it, remembering Beck Williams’ phone call and the anxiety in his words that night, her heart ached with anger and she warned reluctantly, “Charleen Davis, you’re so old, stop being shameless!”
Struggled to wrestle the hand away.
Charleen Davis looked at her coldly, “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“You wouldn’t understand?” Christina Sanchez snickered, “You knew that it was no longer possible with Zhigui, so you thought of ways to make your daughter approach my son in the vain hope of marrying into our family! You dare to say that you didn’t arrange these privately?”
Charleen Davis blushed slightly.
She should have known that Christina Sanchez would attack and even humiliate herself with this.
“There is no way Andrea Jones is marrying into your the Williams family!” Charleen Davis said.
Christina Sanchez grunted, “She’s been to see me and Chi Gui, to meet Neal Williams and his grandparents, and you say it’s impossible? She seems very attentive to me!”
Charleen Davis shuddered and looked at Christina Sanchez in some disbelief, “You said she went to meet the elders of THE Williams family?!”
Andrea Jones, however, has been keeping it to herself.
Although I knew that she and Neal Williams were still seeing each other, I didn’t think she would follow Neal Williams back to meet her parents. Isn’t this a way to send up the Williams family to be bullied?
In a trance, I remembered how I was once treated, and I was angry and furious.
Christina Sanchez just thought she was pretending, “Is this the kind of acting you used to fool Chi Gui? But Charleen Davis, don’t blame me for not reminding you that the Williams family won’t see your daughter Andrea Jones, nor Sammy Jones, so you should give up your plan!”
Charleen Davis is even more confused.
What happened to Andrea Jones and Neal Williams, why bring up Sammy Jones again.
“Don’t you dare pretend you don’t know! Your oldest daughter, Sammy Jones, also likes our Neal Williams, something you must be well aware of as well.”
Sammy Jones… like Neal Williams?
Charleen Davis was stunned again.
Christina Sanchez continued coldly: “Now they are two sisters who have blackened their faces over Neal Williams. Hmph! It’s really ridiculous, outwardly saying that they don’t care to enter our the Williams family door, but behind the scenes, they let one daughter and two daughters drill into the Williams family!”
Christina Sanchez’s later words were no longer heard by Charleen Davis.
Back and forth in her mind were her words about the two sisters falling out over Neal Williams. No wonder, all this time, they had fallen out like that!
In the past, every time stumbling and quarreling, up to a day each other can not stay up, there is always a first to bow down. However, this time, after so long, but still in a cold war.
She couldn’t figure out what it was about, but didn’t want to …
It’s because of men! And also the Williams family!
Charleen Davis was so angry that she felt the pain in her chest, but Christina Sanchez continued to be sarcastic, “Our Neal Williams rejected Sammy Jones outright, ask your Sammy Jones how embarrassed he was by our Neal’s rejection! You should ask your Sammy Jones how embarrassed he was by our Neal’s rejection! Both sisters have come to mess with Neal Williams, is that what you call not wanting to marry into the Williams family?”
“Have you said enough?!” Without waiting for Charleen Davis to speak, another door was suddenly pulled open.
Sammy Jones stared at Christina Sanchez with a pale, humiliated face, not daring to look into her mother’s disappointed, pained eyes as she rushed towards Christina Sanchez, pulling her towards the door by the hand, “You’re not welcome here, so get out! And don’t ever show up here again!”
Christina Sanchez was wearing high heels, so how could she withstand these shoves from Sammy Jones?
The whole person almost wretchedly planted on the floor, holding the foyer can not easily stand, and then surveyed Sammy Jones round, “really uncultured, no wonder our Neal to see you not. Although not much like Andrea Jones, but this aspect of etiquette is more or less better than you.”
Sammy Jones’ body shook.
It’s even more embarrassing.
“Are you leaving or not?” She glared at Christina Sanchez, her eyes already red.
