“Don’t know?” Bonnie Williams was unhappy with his attitude and grunted, “If you don’t know, then where did you get this?”
“You ask too many questions!” Neal Williams didn’t like to talk too much, and was about to snatch the photo back again right then and there.
Bonnie Williams looked at him twice, “It’s just a picture, why are you so precious? Here you go.”
She handed the photo back and glanced at him again, “I always thought you were a little weird.”
Neal Williams moved with a slight stiffness. Putting the photo back into his bag, he never spoke again.
Bonnie Williams didn’t take the matter to heart, only to suddenly say again, “I’ve already booked my flight. As soon as my uncle’s birthday is over, I will go to New York.”
Neal Williams grimaced, “Sis!”
Bonnie Williams propped up her pretty jaw, cast her eyes far away to a point outside the store, and watched the cars and traffic without making a sound. Seems to be thinking about something, and seems to think nothing.
The pretty face, which is getting thinner by the day, looks more and more despondent.
Neal Williams sighed, “Do you know what you’re doing? What are you doing in New York?”
“… play.” She answered with a little bit of heart.
Neal Williams grunted. She then twisted her face and said, “Okay, I admit I was going after him.”
“What’s the point of looking for him? Bonnie Williams, he’s married and that’s a fact you have to accept!” Neal Williams couldn’t bear to see her drowning any longer and advised her bitterly, “If you do keep on, even if he falls in love with you and agrees to be with you, then what are you? A third party – a third party who breaks up someone’s family – is that a crime you’re willing to take on?”
Bonnie Williams shuddered hard.
The eyes were red, but, stubbornly, they refused to let the tears slide onto their faces.
In the end, she only spoke softly: “I will not see him …”
Neal Williams looked at her and didn’t say anything, just waited for her to continue.
She swallowed back the bitter tears and smiled, as if she was laughing at herself for being so stupid.
A long time ago, only then said quietly: “I just want to quietly see his wife.”
“I tried for more than a decade and still lost to her, and I think … I’m at least qualified to know what kind of person I’m up against.”
Neal Williams gave her a pained look, “Fool!”
She laughed, “I can’t help it, I’m just that stupid, I’ve been stupid for more than ten years. But, fortunately, my youth has not gone too far, it is still too late to regret.”
Before going to New York, Bonnie Williams planned to give herself a makeover and invited Andrea Jones out for the weekend to keep her company.
“How about this haircut? Would the color be a little too bright, it always seems like it’s not subdued enough?”
Bonnie Williams ruffled her hair and worriedly asked Andrea Jones, who has always been so generous and confident that she rarely feels this uneasy.
“No, this is just right. It looks very energetic.” Andrea Jones gave her a look and couldn’t help but say, “It’s still a while before you go to New York, so you’re so nervous now, what will you do later when you really get there?”
“Who’s nervous? I’m not nervous.” Bonnie Williams refused to admit it, and after a moment of contemplation, the look on her face dropped a few more points, “I just don’t want to lose to that woman. But … is really stupid, I’m already a loser now, what’s there to care about?”
When it comes to her and Ingram Gray, Andrea Jones really doesn’t know how to comfort her. After all, no one can do that with such deep feelings.
“Hey, be honest with me, does Neal Williams have any surprises for you lately?” Bonnie Williams changed the subject and dragged her into a designer store, picking out dresses.
Andrea Jones looked at her confused, “What surprise?”
“Oh, then it seems he’s not ready.” Bonnie Williams nuzzled, suddenly realized that he had omitted to say, and said: “You just pretend that I never heard of it. Later, when Neal Williams prepares for the surprise, you must act surprised, or he knows that I have leaked the news, will certainly come after me.”
“He’s got a surprise for me?” Andrea Jones knew this and couldn’t help but raise a smile on her small face, “What kind of surprise?”
“Can’t say that!” Bonnie Williams didn’t dare to talk nonsense.
But Andrea Jones’ curiosity was all piqued by her. “You can’t just say half of it, I’ll be up half the night.”
“It’s no fun if I really tell you everything.” To divert her attention, Bonnie Williams immediately and unobtrusively quickly changed the subject, “Eh, I saw a picture of you as a teenager yesterday. I saw a picture of you as a teenager yesterday. I think you were about 18 or 19 years old.”
“Mine?” Sure enough Andrea Jones was immediately drawn to the topic, “Where did you see that? You can’t be wrong, I lost all my pictures from my teens when I moved. My mom couldn’t find them.”
“There’s no mistaking it. It’s an ID photo. It’s in Neal Williams’ wallet, how could it be wrong?”
ID photo?
Still in Neal Williams’ wallet?
Andrea Jones was even more confused, tilting her head and thinking hard, but couldn’t figure out how her teenage photo ID could have gotten to him.
How can he have what he doesn’t even have?
“Eh, Andrea, how about this dress?” Bonnie Williams’ voice, interrupting her thoughts.
Really can not make sense of a head, she decided to give up. Go back to ask Neal Williams, then the water will fall out.
“Well, try it, the colors are pretty bright.”
“Then you wait for me.” Bonnie Williams was invited into the locker room.
Andrea Jones was bored and spinning when a call came in from Klein Williams.
“Andrea Jones, say, are you my buddy!”
Klein Williams didn’t say anything, he just said this in his face.
Andrea Jones, knowing that nothing good was going to come of it, said warily, “Let’s see what happens.”
“So, you’re going to see death?”
Andrea Jones rages, “Honestly, did you mess with some girl again? Did you ask me to save the day again?”
“Not just one this time, but two! If you don’t save my field, I’m going to die.” Klein Williams was on the verge of tears over there.
“Two?” Andrea Jones shook her head. This guy was a bogeyman, “So tell me, would my life be in danger.”
“I promise, even if I die, I will never let anything happen to you!”
“Okay, that’s what you said! You say the time and address and what you want me to do.” It wasn’t the first time he had been given a shield anyway, and Andrea Jones didn’t mind one more.
“Just the day after tomorrow, at 6pm, I’ll pick you up at your house! It’s a deal!” Klein Williams happily made the decision and added, “You can dress a little more formally if it’s convenient.”
The following day.
Afternoon.
Andrea Jones got dressed and waited down the block. Within minutes, Klein Williams arrived on time. He sat in his car with his head in the air and whistled frivolously at Andrea Jones.
Andrea Jones gave him an unpleasant look, grabbed her handbag and got into the car.
“For the record, this is the last time! Absolutely the last time!” She gritted her teeth. “Even if you threaten me with buddies and brothers in the future, it’s useless.”
He smiled brightly and turned the car around sharply, “I also assure you that it will be the last time. Don’t worry!”
She grunted, stopped paying attention to him and closed her eyes for a nap.
She woke up when Klein Williams brought the car to a stop. Opening her eyes, the military yard in front of her made her stare.
“How did it get here?” She looked at Klein Williams in confusion.
Klein Williams removed his seat belt and pulled the keys, “Get out of the car, we have to walk in, I can’t drive in this car.”
After that, he leapt out of the car and turned around to go to the trunk to carry the gift.
Her sleepiness was gone and she got out of the car, “Klein Williams, tell me honestly, where the hell are you taking me?”
This yard, although she had never officially been inside, was not so stupid that she didn’t know what it was. Besides, she had heard Bonnie Williams and Neal Williams mention it more than once or twice – Neal Williams’ grandparents lived here.
If she met them and saw her with Klein Williams again, the consequences, she couldn’t even imagine herself.
Klein Williams bared his teeth and smiled, “Take you to my house.”
She didn’t even think about it, she turned her head and left, “No!”
“Hey, hey, hey! I didn’t mean anything else!” Klein Williams hurriedly dropped what he was holding to yank her.
“You lied to me! What two women, you simply made it all up!” She was furious.
“Wrongly, I really didn’t make it up! One my grandmother, one my mother, they both forced me to go on a blind date, what do you think these are if not two women?” Klein Williams explained eagerly.
Andrea Jones glared at him, “I don’t care. Since they are forcing you to go on a blind date, you can go, and it’s useless to catch me as a strong man.”
“You will temporarily act as my girlfriend, know that I have a girlfriend, they are naturally at ease, what dating has become a floating cloud.”
“I won’t do anything to deceive my elders. Can’t be in cahoots with you!” She spoke righteously and stood her ground.
“Please, be kind, won’t you? Can you bear to see me being destroyed by them!”
Andrea Jones twisted her face and just didn’t say anything.
Just when she wanted to leave, a car suddenly burst into her line of sight. The car drove a little fast, but the driver of the car only a side face will make her stunned.
Did she see it wrong?
Maybe …
After all, after so many years, she doesn’t necessarily remember that person clearly. Moreover, now it’s just a side face …
Blinking and rubbing her eyes again, she looked over again.
The car was already driving into the yard at the moment and would soon disappear from her sight.
No! No!
Suddenly, like a madman, she pushed Klein Williams away, turned around and ran towards the military compound.
Klein Williams was taken aback by her sudden reaction, and by the time she came back to her senses, she had already run a good distance away.
“Andrea! What’s wrong?” He immediately followed with worry.
Andrea Jones’ eyes are a little blurry.
Only stubbornly staring at the car, the movement of the feet did not stop at all. However, running to the front door only to be stopped by the police force.
“Excuse me, no idle people are allowed inside. Please show your ID!” The other party said with a flourish.
This stop, where there is still the shadow of the car? Leaping around a corner, has disappeared from her eyes.
“Let me in!” Andrea Jones became agitated. Looking at the other man almost pleadingly, her eyes flushed red, “Please! Let me in!”
Klein Williams had caught up by now.
“Third young man!” The police team immediately greeted.
Klein Williams only gave a vague response, his attention on Andrea Jones. When he saw her teary eyes, his heart tightened and he asked, “What’s wrong, Andrea Jones?
He twisted her body around.
The large palm gripped her arm and could feel her entire body shaking.
“Klein Williams, let me in! Let me in! I’m going to get him …” she murmured lost in thought and Klein Williams was confused, “Who are you looking for?”
“Just drove in …”
Williams Klein looked up and asked the police force, “Who was the person who just drove in?”
“Third young man, it’s Deputy Lu. He said he was going to pay his respects to your father.”
“Vice Lu?” Andrea Jones caught those two words and climbed tightly on Klein Williams with both hands, asking sharply after him, “Is his name Ford Smith! Is his name Ford Smith?!!”
“You know him?”
