For two days in a row, Neal Williams had not returned, and Andrea Jones was alone in her house, adjusting to life without him. Her appetite, which had been poor at first, was now opening up a bit. She also became increasingly sleepy.
But because of this, she did not receive a call from Neal Williams for two days. Every time he called, she was asleep, and it was answered by Chen.
Neal Williams instructed Chen each time to pass on the message for her to call back, but every time she reached for the phone, Andrea Jones put it down.
Even if she misses it again and wants to hear his voice again, she can’t let the feelings grow too much.
Later …
They go back to the eternal goodbye ah!
“Miss Jones, there’s a guest!” Sister Chen’s voice interrupted her thoughts.
She put the phone away and subconsciously turned her head to look at the door. Seeing the beautiful woman, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Luckily it’s just Bonnie Williams and not Christina Sanchez …
Today’s Bonnie Williams, wearing a long floral dress, like a hundred flowers blooming in spring. However, even though the dress is still bright and beautiful, but still can not hide her bones seeping out of the despondency.
“Let’s see if it’s gained any weight.” Bonnie Williams rested the large bag in her hand on the couch and grabbed Andrea Jones to look from the top down.
“I’ve really gained some weight, and there’s meat on my face. However, the stomach doesn’t seem to be too obvious.”
“Well. He’s she’s still little.” Andrea Jones tenderly stroked her belly and looked at the large bags on the couch, “What’s all this carrying?”
“A gift for you, I brought it back from New York.” Bonnie Williams will open one bag after another, while explaining, “These are for little Baby, when you have to tell him her that this is what he her aunt bought. These clothes are yours, and I saw that the maternity clothes are also exquisitely made, so I got the itch to buy them all.”
“Thanks.” Andrea Jones was touched by the fact that it was rare for her to remember her when she went to New York.
Thinking of something, he couldn’t help but look at her twice more, “Did you really go to New York?”
Bonnie Williams moved for a moment, and in the next second, she was back to her normal self, saying with ease, “Then how can it be fake? Otherwise these gifts are I conjured out of thin air?”
Andrea Jones is envious and admires her courage and perseverance for love.
This is truly a woman worthy of Ingram Gray’s deep love!
“Have you … seen him yet?” Andrea Jones asked tentatively.
Bonnie Williams looked slightly dark. The next moment, and suddenly smiled, obviously smiling very brightly, but, Andrea Jones is able to see clearly the hurt in her eyes.
She held up her right hand and waved it in front of Andrea Jones’ eyes.
“Is it nice?”
A few carats of diamond rings, radiant and glowing, sparkled Andrea Jones’ eyes.
She was slightly shocked. She knew in her heart that it could never have been from Ingram Gray. So then …
“I said yes to Sea Shen’s proposal.” Bonnie Williams was still smiling, a smile that moistened the corners of her eyes, and Andrea Jones looked distressed, “Have you thought about it?”
“Absolutely. I think it’s probably the best decision I’ve ever made in my life!” Bonnie Williams repeatedly nodded heavily, not so much in response to Andrea Jones’ words as in a hard effort to convince herself.
As long as you can get your mind off that man and escape from his web, there could be no better decision than this.
Andrea Jones didn’t say anything else. It was a shame that she and Ingram Gray had missed out on each other – someone who had given so much to love should never have been denied the happiness she deserved. However, there is no such thing as should or shouldn’t in love. Just like Sea Shen, is not also in love with Bonnie Williams so many years? He also deserves to be happy …
“I came especially to deliver this to you today.” Bonnie Williams placed the invitation card for the engagement party on the coffee table, “You remember to attend with Neal when the time comes.”
Looking at the cheerful invitation, Andrea Jones could not bear to spoil her fun, and only carefully put it away. On the occasion of her engagement party, all the elders of the Williams family would certainly be there. Wouldn’t she be asking for trouble if she went?
I wanted to say ‘congratulations’ to Bonnie Williams, but, looking at the wet marks in the corners of her eyes, I couldn’t say those two words. In the end, I just said, “I wish you happiness.”
“Thanks!” Bonnie Williams smiled brightly, glanced at her wrist and tapped her watch, “Come on, walk me out to dinner.”
“Why don’t we eat at home? Sister Chen’s cooking is very good.”
Bonnie Williams lifted her bag and gave her a glance, “Stop dawdling and go change your clothes. Aren’t you tired of being cooped up at home every day? I’ve heard enough!”
Andrea Jones smiled away, “Wait for me, then. I’ll be right there!”
Indeed.
The doctor’s ‘bed rest’ made her heart jump, not to mention Neal Williams’ uneasiness, and she didn’t dare to go out alone for fear of any eventuality. However, God knows how much she wants to go out for some air.
Changed clothes and got out in Bonnie Williams’ car.
Bonnie Williams laughs as she drives, “You can’t tell you’re pregnant when you’re dressed. Gee, people who are going to be mothers are really a little more beautiful.”
“No more beautiful than you, the bride-to-be.”
Bonnie Williams smiled astringently, “You can also be a bride-to-be right away if you want.”
Andrea Jones froze and didn’t make a sound, just looked down at her finger, Bonnie Williams said, “Actually Neal even bought the ring, I went with him to pick it out last time. But he hasn’t given it to you yet?”
Rings?
Andrea Jones couldn’t resist a sideways glance.
“No …”
“Probably because he expected you to say no.” Bonnie Williams sighed and looked at Andrea Jones, who was sitting thoughtfully, “You’re really not going to forgive Neal?”
Andrea Jones breathed softly, “Even if we forgive, it doesn’t mean we’ll be together …”
Even if one can forgive him, then …
The dead dad and mom, would they accept it? And Sammy Jones … she would be against them too.
The elders of the Williams family would not approve of them being together. As Mom said, a marriage where everyone is against it must not be happy. So, why make the mistake of insisting?
Bonnie Williams said, “Sometimes I really hate people like you who obviously love each other but toss around the idea of not being together, being in a good place.”
Andrea Jones glanced sideways and saw the sadness between Bonnie Williams’ expressions, and she said no more.
Bonnie Williams led her to a century-old soup store.
The place is quiet and the customers are also incessant. The taste of this store is one of the best in the country. So naturally, it is also the place where countless dignitaries grab their heads to come and try.
“It took me half a month to get a reservation before I finally got a seat today.” Led inside by the waiter, Bonnie Williams grumbled. “I heard someone has been waiting in line for six months and still hasn’t gotten a soup here.”
“Then I’m blessed with a mouthful.”
“No. The soup here is good for pregnant women, so I wanted to bring you here to try it when I got the location. All right, let’s sit here, I’ve already ordered the soup, just serve it.” The last sentence was said to the waiter, she waved her hand and let the waiter go down.
Andrea Jones subconsciously surveyed the entire store’s décor as the two men stepped down in a more secluded spot in the lobby.
Bonnie Williams asked, “What are the plans for the future?”
“Hmm?” She responded as she watched.
“I say, what are you going to do after the baby is born? Those elders in my family don’t even know you’re pregnant yet, and if they did, they’d probably agree to Neal marrying you. What do you think?”
Andrea Jones was just about to answer when her eyes lurched.
Seeing a familiar figure enter through the doorway, leading another woman by her side. She only thought it was her eyesight. However, she always had good eyesight.
Heart, tighten.
Shouldn’t he … be in S City right now?
Why are you with Penny Brown instead?
“Andrea Jones, what are you looking at?” Bonnie Williams did not hear Andrea Jones answer for a moment, subconsciously to look towards where she was looking, but she had already drawn back her eyes quickly, said: “I do not think about anything right now, just want to give birth to the baby in peace.”
Bonnie Williams looked at her suspiciously, and wanted to look, but then the waiter came over, carrying one by one snacks and soups, just in time to block Bonnie Williams’ view.
But …
To their surprise, those two people, however, were led by the waiter from the other side and sat in front not far from them. It was right behind Bonnie Williams and directly in front of Andrea Jones.
Across the rows of lush bonsai, she could faintly see the two people sitting across from each other.
Andrea Jones subconsciously conceals herself in a dark corner.
She forced herself not to look, but, on the contrary, her attention kept falling on them.
Neal Williams was completely distracted.
The first thing I wanted to do when I got off the plane was to go back and see her. However, only to turn on the phone but was called back by the old man, the old lady. I was thinking about the matter of the second uncle – recently scraped the wind of clean government, and the second uncle was involved in it. This scandal affects the whole body, he can not slacken, naturally is immediately rushed back.
But to my surprise, Penny Brown and Steve Brown were waiting in the old house.
Steve Brown is a member of the CDC and must have come to the mansion to see the old man for the matter of Uncle Two. The second uncle’s half life and the Williams family’s reputation is now almost all in Steve Brown’s hands, Penny Brown since the invitation, in front of many elders and Steve Brown, Neal Williams naturally is no room to refuse.
“It’s been a long time since we’ve had dinner together. I miss the old days.” Penny Brown sipped her soup and gazed at the man who fascinated her – her former fiancé – and the man who had disgraced and broken her heart.
At this moment he can sit here, is she expected.
But Neal Williams didn’t seem nostalgic. Just slyly asked, “How’s Lewis Brown doing these days?”
“It’s the same old story.”
Neal Williams nodded slightly, his expression muted, “Say hello to him for me later. Our firm has a new case and we want to talk to him about working together.”
Penny Brown pouted, “It’s so hard for the two of us to be together, can we not talk about work?”
The light from the corner of her eye suddenly swept a person. She thought she was mistaken, her eyebrows raised, fixed her eyes and looked over, her eyes immediately rippled with dark awnings.
Surprisingly, it was Andrea Jones!
That woman, she would never be wrong.
If it weren’t for her, she and Neal Williams would have been out and about by now, and perhaps, married!
It was the appearance of Andrea Jones that shattered all her plans for a successful life!
Narrowing her eyes and drawing back her gaze, she smiled at Neal Williams and abruptly got up and sat alongside him.
The sudden approach caused Neal Williams to frown without moving.
She has a taste that is very different from Andrea Jones’.
The scent on her was slightly stronger than the lighter Andrea Jones. He likes it a little more fresh …
“Penny Brown, sit back down.” Neal Williams’ semi-commanding tone.
Penny Brown didn’t listen, but simply opened a soup pitcher, took a spoon and brought a spoonful to Neal Williams’ lips affectionately. She deliberately turned around so that someone’s perspective could see this intimate, couple-only act clearly.
Neal Williams frowned and refused unceremoniously, “I’ll do it myself.”
