“Nini don’t talk nonsense! We’ll see daddy!” KK’s childish voice was not as clear as usual, but added some heaviness that did not belong to a child.
Zoey couldn’t stay any longer, tears, rushed out of her eyes, drenched her cheeks.
Bringing the door closed and leaning against the doorway, she covered her face in pain to keep the sobs from spilling out.
I’m sorry, babies! I’m sorry …
“Zoey?” Owen Baker, who had just returned from the office, was startled to see Zoey. He pulled a tissue and walked over to her, looking at her worriedly, “What happened?
Zoey took the tissues and wiped the tears from her eyes. Only then did she shake her head, “No.”
“Talk to me about what’s going on.” Owen Baker, heartbroken for Zoey , took her downstairs into the hall.
Her hands were so cold that he was frightened. Then subconsciously hold more tightly, stare deeply into her teary eyes, sigh, “What is wrong?”
“Brother, can you do me a favor?” She lifted her teary eyes.
Owen Baker only felt his heart ache wrung by those tears and nodded, “What’s your favor that I can’t help?”
“Are there any single divorced men around you? It’s best if there’s not a big age difference with me, and it doesn’t matter if I have kids, I can accept that.”
Owen Baker froze for a moment, suddenly understood what she meant, let go of his hand, his face cleared a little colder, “Zoey , what are you thinking?!”
“Brother, I need to find a daddy for the kids! They need a daddy!”
Owen Baker’s face flashed with a hint of mixed emotions, “We all love them! If you go and find some random guy just to find them a daddy, the kids are going to have a much harder time and you’re not going to be happy! I won’t allow you to do that!”
“Brother, please help me!” Zoey looked pleadingly at Owen Baker.
Owen Baker, who has never been able to say no to Zoey, simply looks away from her.
“Brother …” Zoey broke his face back and looked him in the eyes, “I’m not too young, you’ve been married for so long, it’s really time for me to find a decent man to marry! I can’t live a single life forever! You know, from the time I came back until now, Daddy and Mommy have often reminded me to find a boyfriend. Now, while I am still young, I may be able to pick the right one. Later, when I get older, it will be even harder to pick one! Brother, help me, okay?”
Her words caused Owen Baker to struggle in his heart. Because it made too much sense, there was no way to refute it, let alone stop her from getting married.
He, just a brother, not a boyfriend …
“I know. Will search for you …” the voice is muffled, can not lift the mood.
Zoey is now relieved, “I’ll leave this to you, give me news as soon as possible.”
“Well …” voice, more muffled. Urge her, “Go wash your face and go to bed early. Don’t think too much.”
Zoey nodded and turned to go upstairs, not noticing the complex and deep eyes of Owen Baker behind her …
Take a cigarette, light it up, and smoke it. Hazy smoke, in the light gathered into a cluster of aperture, there is a kind of inexhaustible gloom …
After waiting for several days, Zoey finally received a call from Owen with a suitable date for dinner.
After work, Zoey packed up her things quickly and carried her bag out of the office. When he got into the elevator, several close colleagues also followed and squeezed in.
He was about to close the elevator door when he saw Jerry Xiao striding over. The direct elevator belonging to the president was right next to him, so Zoey didn’t think much of it and closed the elevator door.
But, Jerry Xiao came straight towards them, raised his hand and separated the elevator door, looked heavily at Zoey, and entered the elevator.
That look was clearly chiding her for not closing the elevator door.
What a strange person! There is a direct elevator over there, so why do you have to squeeze in with your colleagues?
“Hello President!” Everyone greeted, and Jerry Xiao smiled and nodded one by one. Only Zoey stood in the corner and didn’t say anything, nor did she look at him.
Now that the decision has been made to start dating, this man, will really have to be removed from her heart!
In short, avoid it if you can!
…
“Zoey, are you really going on a blind date tonight?” When colleagues get together, they can’t help but gossip a bit, even in front of the big president.
The sound was not too loud, not too small, just enough for the whole elevator to hear.
When Julie asked this question, Zoey froze for a moment. Julie had overheard her on the phone today, and I knew she wouldn’t be able to resist gossiping, but I didn’t expect her to pick her time like this.
Almost subconsciously, she wanted to look at Jerry Xiao’s expression, but she held back in the end. What was the point of looking at him? This has nothing to do with him, do you think he cares?
Zoey stopped looking, pursed her lips, and gave a soft “hmm” as a reply.
“But don’t you have a boyfriend? Blew it?” Julie continued eight, not noticing that the air in the elevator was much colder, steeply.
Zoey still only gave a muffled, low ‘mmm’.
The elevator, at last, reached the first floor. With a ‘ding–‘ sound, Jerry Xiao was the first to step out from inside the elevator.
Zoey looked at his back in slight confusion, but he turned around abruptly and met her right on the spot.
She froze and wolfishly tried to withdraw her eyes, but he just gave her a heavy glare and turned his head, striding away.
Uh …
Did she piss him off again?
“The president seems to be angry with you. I noticed, just in and out of the glare you! Are you not doing your job properly?” See, even Julie could see his mood.
Zoey shook her head with a confused look on her face, “I can’t figure out what’s going on.”
“Forget it, it’s after work anyway, let’s not talk about these topics.” Julie and Zoey walked out together, while gossiping with her, “Today the president asked me to book a restaurant, a place for two people. I’m not sure it’s the same woman I went to dinner with last time.”
Zoey thinks about the last time Nabi invited him and he said yes. I guess they were going to look for memories from the past!
Shouldn’t she call her brother and report the situation? Zoey had no choice but to do so.
This is a famous old store. The style is elegant and retro, and it is definitely the best place to fall in love.
The other side, apparently, is very good at picking places.
Zoey looked around and saw a strange man waving at her from a window seat. She walked over with a smile and greeted him politely, “Sorry, I’m late.”
“I’ve only been here a while.” The other person, who was only about 30 years old, already got up gracefully and pulled out the chair, asking Zoey to sit down as a gentleman.
“Thanks.” Zoey sat down and the man took her order, just as she liked it.
“Miss Baker, I hear you are looking for someone to marry?” The other party was a single-minded person and got straight to the point.
This also relieved Zoey, who also disliked meaningless pleasantries. “Well. The kids can’t stay without a father, and besides, I want a full family.”
“I got divorced two years ago, but still don’t have any children. From what Owen says, Ms. Baker already has two five-year-olds.”
“Yes. I wonder if Mr. Wang likes children?”
“Of course I like it. don’t worry Ms. Baker, if it’s possible for us in the future, I will definitely take your child as my own.”
If that’s the case, that’s great!
The conversation between one and the other, Zoey had a lot more good feelings for the gentleman in front of her. A man who can get past his brother is definitely not good!
…
When Jerry Xiao entered the restaurant, he did not expect to see that familiar figure.
And, who is sitting across from her? Lucas Wang, the bank president, a divorced man. Is this the man she’s dating?
It was obvious that the two people were still having a good time. The way they were talking and laughing was reflected in Jerry Xiao’s eyes, but he felt so blinding that it made his chest tight!
What the hell!
“Jerry, over here!” Nabi Yan’s voice sounded softly as she was sitting in the corner waving at him. He had to draw back his eyes and step towards her.
“Why are you standing there staring?” Nabi Yan looked at the man who sat down in front of her. “I’ve ordered according to your previous preferences. How’s that? Tastes haven’t changed after all these years, have they?”
“Hmm. No change.” He responded indifferently. He sat down in a position that was diagonally opposite the opposite corner. Pulling out his phone, he glanced at Nabi Yan, “You drink your juice first, I’ll make a call.”
Nabi Yan felt rather strange, but she nodded with a good smile.
…
In the middle of a good conversation, Zoey’s cell phone rings in her pocket. “Excuse me.” The conversation was rudely interrupted and she gently apologized.
“It’s okay, you answer the phone first.” The other side was particularly understanding.
Zoey took out her phone and looked at the screen display, froze for a moment, and the next second, disconnected the phone. But only a few dozen seconds apart, the phone surprisingly rang again.
What is going on?
Shouldn’t he be dating someone at this time?
Zoey glanced at Lucas Wang apologetically, and when he nodded to her to make herself comfortable, she reluctantly picked up the phone.
“Why did you hang up on me?” Questioning, lunging.
Zoey froze for a moment, almost mistaking the tone for that of a lover’s quarrel, but at the moment she wasn’t so dizzy.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Xiao. I have something very important going on right now, so …”
Her words were interrupted by Jerry Xiao, “A blind date is a very important thing? What? You’re so hateful of marriage that you don’t even mind if the other person is married for the second time?”
“How do you know?”
Zoey was quite surprised, and the next moment she looked up and around, she saw him. The familiar handsome face was concealed behind a lush potted plant, across the retro furnishings of the restaurant. The face was mostly blocked, but she could still recognize it at a glance.
The person sitting across from him turned out to be Nabi.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
After that, without waiting for anything else on the other end, Zoey was the first to cut the call.
…
The other side.
Jerry Xiao stared at the phone that had been hung up, his face hard to see. nabi Yan, unsure, pushed a glass of cool water in front of him and asked gently, “Who’s on a blind date?”
Glancing at Nabi, he put away his phone and simply said, “No, just friends.”
He said so, Nabi Yan also did not ask more questions. The food was served one after another, and Jerry Xiao resisted the urge to look at a certain place. But, as soon as he raised his eyes, he could see the opposite side clearly.
This stupid woman! She really doesn’t mind that she’s a second wife, but she’s chatting so happily?
“Jerry. Jerry?” is the third time to call him.
“Hmm?” Jerry Xiao just abruptly came back to his senses. nabi Yan looked at him strangely and asked lightly, “Is something wrong, you seem to be absent-minded all the time?”
Distracted? Just for a Zoey Baker? Why?
Not wanting to think about it deeply, he forced himself to draw back his eyes and simply said, “Nothing is wrong. Let’s eat first.”
