“Neal Williams!” she shouted twice, her voice rising in anger. At once, the entire company looked at her with probing eyes, and she stiffened, clenching her teeth and fists.
She is still the wife of Neal Williams, the envy of all. She couldn’t imagine, nor could she bear the glow of all that sympathy.
As she was thinking about it, her phone suddenly rang again. She scanned the screen, it was her mother calling, and let her breathing calm down as much as possible before pressing the computer to her ear.
“Mom.”
“Penny, are you free tonight? By the way, ask Neal Williams to come back for dinner. It’s been two years since we got married and he hasn’t visited us once. Viona Hall couldn’t stop talking about her son-in-law. Neal Williams was originally a very educated man, but once he got married, he showed his true nature and didn’t even have the most basic manners. This is something that makes Viona Hall dissatisfied to the extreme.
Penny Brown had a headache, “Mom, Neal Williams isn’t available, he’s out of town on business.”
“Business trip again? This excuse has been used for two years, you are still not tired of it? I tell you, you can’t spoil him! Men are meant to be tamed. If you spoil him now, he won’t know what to do to you in the future!” Viona Hall is still imparting her experience.
“Mom, Neal Williams has been good to me, so don’t worry about it!” Penny Brown couldn’t help but be a little annoyed, “What is it that you want to see me about, just say the word.”
“Your brother is bringing his girlfriend back today.”
Penny Brown’s entire body was stunned by Viona Hall’s words.
Lewis Brown… taking your girlfriend back?
Subconsciously gripping the phone tightly, I don’t know why I suddenly remembered the night before the wedding when Lewis Brown pinned her to the bed and kissed her forcibly. I think of his final disappointing and decisive phrase ‘behave yourself’.
Now, even he … has a girlfriend …
“You come back to give reference. I want a decent girl this time, not like that Andrea Jones from the past again …”
“Mom! I got it, I got it!” Penny Brown got even more annoyed and cut Viona Hall right off, “Just say what time it is!”
Viona Hall reported the time, Penny Brown hung up the phone and sat dumbly on the sofa. Thinking of the divorce papers just now, remembering that Lewis Brown had a girlfriend, suddenly tears fell like rain.
It turns out that … everyone is living a wonderful life, are living a splendid life, only she … only she is locked in such a dark cage, not only lonely and difficult, but also, in front of each, barely pretending that they are a most happy victor. Where exactly did she go wrong?
Andrea Jones came out of IG with her materials in her arms – since Garret Miller had gone to Hong Kong in place of Neal Williams, Mrs. Ning’s entire project was naturally passed on to Neal Williams, and she had thought she would see him again. But, to her surprise, the few times she went to IG, she never saw him again.
It was as if that person just vanished into thin air, and after that night’s kiss, they never crossed paths again. She thought about calling him, but, after one ring, she immediately pressed the button because she didn’t know what to say.
She assumed that … seeing her call, Neal Williams would have returned it.
However, she waited for two days …
It was as if it had never been seen at all, and Neal Williams’ phone never rang. From initial expectation, to doubts, until now … has been a complete loss …
Neal Williams stands on the upper floor, looking down from above.
Marshall Johnson pushed the door in and said, “Second young man, the project department said that Miss Jones and the girls just left.”
“Well …” Neal Williams nodded, his eyes falling in a daze on those tiny shadows upstairs before he said, “If there are any problems, have the project department come up and report back to me. ”
Marshall Johnson was really confused, “You’re avoiding Miss Jones?”
Neal Williams’ eyes darkened slightly and he pursed his lips, “… is not.”
“I told you, you have been looking forward to her for two years, now it is easy to come back, how can not avoid her ah! But, what are you selling now?”
Neal Williams’ thin lips pursed into a single word and didn’t speak again.
Not avoiding her, but … forcibly repressing it and not seeing it again.
That night, everything had gotten out of hand. As long as it was her, he could not restrain the loss of control. What married, what third party, at that moment, he could not think so much about.
But, coming to his senses, his heart palpitated. He should not have involved the innocent her in this storm before everything was settled.
As I was lost in thought, my phone suddenly rang.
Neal Williams fished it over and took it without much thought. A female voice, from the other end, rang out.
“Mr. Williams, I would like to talk to you if you have time.”
“Sammy Jones?”
Sammy Jones smiled astringently, “It’s rare that you remember my voice.”
Neal Williams looked at the time, “I’ll be available in exactly two hours. If that’s convenient for you too …”
“Then I’ll wait for you at the cafe downstairs from your office.”
Café.
When Neal Williams arrived, Sammy Jones was already there. She sipped her coffee lightly and gazed out the window in awe.
Two years of honing her skills abroad had made her look much more capable, and Neal Williams settled in front of her with an elegant smile, “It’s been a long time.”
“Not counting the last time I was downstairs in my house, it’s been quite a while …” Sammy Jones’ tone was tinged with a bit of emotion.
The eyes fell on Neal Williams’ face. I have to admit that he is indeed an extremely attractive man, so it’s not surprising that he would have been attracted to him two years ago. But the good thing is that …
She collected her heart in time.
“Something for me?” Neal Williams asked.
“Yes.” Sammy Jones nodded and fixed his eyes, “Since you asked, I don’t want to sell out. I’m not here to discuss anything with you, but to ask you!”
Neal Williams’ eyes were puzzled. The next moment, hearing her words, he was stunned.
“Leave Andrea!”
Neal Williams sat there stiffly, looking at Sammy Jones, feeling something in his throat, making it hard for him .
“This is the same thing I said to Andrea. However, she doesn’t understand my bitterness. I don’t want to get into trouble with her again because of this kind of thing, so I can only come to request you!” Sammy Jones gripped the spoon of his coffee cup and paused for a moment before saying, “Actually … I already know about you.”
He didn’t say anything, just sat there, breathing slightly heavy.
“You’re married! Are you?” Sammy Jones looked straight at him.
Neal Williams sadly found himself unable to refute or explain. In the end, it was just a muffled, monosyllabic word squeezed out of his throat, “Hmm.”
Although the result was already known, Sammy Jones was still a little disappointed.
“In that case, don’t treat Andrea like a fool. She’s a very traditional person, there’s no way she’ll be your lover or any third party! So, please don’t drag her into the abyss!”
But no?
Every word Sammy Jones says is true.
“I remember, it was you who used to say to me yourself that you would make up all the love she didn’t have for her! Now, you are no longer qualified to love her, but, I hope you at least don’t harm her!” Sammy Jones continued.
Neal Williams’ throat strained a little, “… I know.”
“It’s best if you know.” Sammy Jones glanced at him, and the sorrow, the despondency in his eyes, all of it made her heart tighten. It was as if by asking him to give up Andrea Jones, he had done the cruelest thing himself.
She suddenly couldn’t sit down and stood up, “Since the words are clear, I’ll go first.”
After saying that, she carried her bag and stood up.
Neal Williams looked at the back of Sammy Jones and suddenly said, “I’ll get a divorce!”
Four simple words that left Sammy Jones stunned. She slowly looked back at him, “Neal Williams, even with the divorce, I’m not sure Andrea Jones would still accept you.”
Was once married to another woman. And, not long after she left! That would have been a betrayal for Andrea Jones, too, wouldn’t it?
So impatient to marry another woman, and another woman living together for two years, this kind of thing on the body of any normal woman, probably can not immediately accept, not nagging.
Andrea Jones was heading back to IG to pick up some information when she got out of the car, her eyes strayed to the coffee shop and saw Neal Williams and Sammy Jones coming out side by side. The two men were still talking about something, and they both looked as grave as each other.
She was stunned and subconsciously got back into the cab.
And then, watch as Neal Williams hails a cab for Sammy Jones and leaves.
Half the time, he was just standing on the side of the road, looking out at the cab, his eyes falling.
One by one, doubts popped up in Andrea Jones’ mind. She didn’t know exactly which part was wrong, she always felt that their meeting, it didn’t seem so simple. Was … hiding something from herself?
Looking up at Neal Williams again, she waited until he folded and entered the company building before she got out of the cab and followed him in.
When Andrea Jones got home, Sammy Jones was already home.
“Back? I just got the groceries and I’ll make dinner tonight.” Sammy Jones, who was in the kitchen choosing vegetables, heard the commotion and poked his head out to talk to her.
She put her bag down and walked to the kitchen. Leaning against the door frame, she looked at Sammy Jones and asked tentatively, “Sis, you stayed home all day today, huh?”
“Uh huh! And what else?” Sammy Jones didn’t even look up.
“Didn’t go for a walk?”
“Go where?” Sammy Jones looked up at her. Andrea Jones smiled sarcastically and went in to help with the grocery shopping, saying as she did so, “I mean no walks to Mom’s? I went there once two days ago, and luckily, we’ve had help checking on her every day for the past two years.”
Sammy Jones also knows who Andrea Jones is talking about and sighs, “It’s just a pity that Mom left so early. However, if she knew that Uncle Jiang was so thoughtful now, she would have less resentment and blame in her heart for so many years. Let’s go see Mom together tomorrow.”
“Hmm. Good.” Andrea Jones nodded and had the good sense not to ask any more questions. It was clear that Sammy Jones was intentionally keeping things to himself, but what was it about?
The other side.
When he got down from the car, before he entered the door, Penny Brown heard an unfamiliar and crisp female voice. Lewis Brown likes this type of girl?
Smiling slightly coolly, she pushed her way in with her bag.
“Penny’s back!” Viona Hall only raised her head, and then, looked down again to talk to a young girl on the side. I don’t know what the girl said, but it just made Viona Hall laugh.
That image, let Penny Brown look at the eyes, only to feel some indescribable sting.
Steve Brown smiled and said to Penny Brown, “Your mom really likes this little girl. As soon as she got back, the two of them started talking and still haven’t stopped!”
“Yeah?” Penny Brown just responded coldly.
Putting his bag down on the couch, he looked up and saw Lewis Brown.
Penny Brown gave a nonchalant smile and swept her eyes from the girl’s face to Lewis Brown’s, “Aren’t you going to introduce me?”
“Lucy, come say hello.” Lewis Brown waved at the little person on the couch. She looked up and Hope smiled, and it was only then that Penny Brown got a good look at the girl.
