“Jerry, what’s wrong?” Nabi Yan noticed that his mood was not right and asked him with some concern, “Is the work too stressful?”
The soft voice hit his troubled mind. He averted his eyebrows, cupped Nabi Yan’s cheek and kissed it.
Nabi Yan didn’t expect such a move from him. She froze for a moment, and the next second, she wrapped her arms around him in ecstasy and kissed him back deeply.
The corners of the eyes, already because of this kiss, and wet …
The kiss, still going on.
He seemed to be concentrating, keeping his eyes closed as Nabi wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed the knot of his throat.
Thought that tonight would definitely be a perfect start, but …
Where do you know that he suddenly pushed her away …
“Jerry?” Disappointment, undisguised, appeared in Nabi Yan’s eyes as she looked at him with tears in her eyes in disbelief, “What’s wrong?”
Jerry Xiao also wanted to know what was wrong with him, but …
Just now was clearly kissing with Nabi, his mind is actually another figure how can not be dispersed.
Even if he kisses harder and harder and reminds himself again and again who the woman in front of him really is, it won’t do any good at all!
That’s a hell of a thing to do!
“Jerry, what’s going on? You’re worrying me with that look.” Nabi grabbed his sleeve in aggravation.
Just now it was clear that they fit together, so why did he suddenly want to end it?
“Nothing.” Inexplicably a bit annoyed, Jerry Xiao fished over the jacket aside and put it on Nabi Yan’s shoulder, “Let’s go, it’s getting late.”
“But you haven’t eaten this one yet.” Nabi Yan shook the tortilla in her hand.
He glanced at her expectant look and took the tortilla away, “I’m not hungry yet, I’ll go back and eat later. Take you home first.”
Send her home?
Nabi Yan hesitated, leaned close to Jerry and gently said, “Jerry, actually … I spoke to Owen Baker last night about the divorce and he has agreed to it.”
He was pressing the elevator and when he heard her say that, he turned his face to look at her.
Nabi Yan knew he didn’t understand what he was saying, so she mustered up the courage to say it directly, “I can stay home tonight.”
Said, the little face has been a red …
Jerry Xiao’s thin lips were lightly pursed, and there was no hint of floating on his expression, only saying, “It’s better to send you back, I still have some things to do at night.”
Tonight, it must be impossible to sleep.
So, he had to get Zac White out for a drink to relieve his boredom.
“This way?” Nabi Yan so lost so lost shoulders down, look at that he simply from the beginning to the end did not look at the tortilla, heart vaguely know …
Between them, something has become different.
Is it because of Zoey?
It must be!
Zoey walks into the house drained of energy.
The elders of the family had gone to bed, leaving only Owen Baker sitting in the hall.
When he saw her return, he got up in a hurry. Her pale face made him frown, “Zoey , what’s wrong? Is something wrong?”
“Brother, why are you still awake?” Zoey looked at Owen and saw his worried look, so she waved her hand and sat down on the sofa, “Nothing, maybe I’ve been too busy with work lately.”
“What have you been up to? It’s late.” Owen Baker poured water and handed it to Zoey, “Take a sip, look at your face, you look like you’ve seen a ghost.” Zoey rested her head on Owen Baker’s shoulder, smelling the reassuring scent and holding the hot water, and felt her nostrils tingle. The tears almost came to her eyes.
She sniffled and forced herself to choke back her tears. Before Owen Baker could hear the signs, he asked in a low voice, “Brother, is it true that you and your sister-in-law are getting a divorce?”
Owen Baker didn’t answer, just looked away from Zoey’s little face, “You’ve met her?”
Zoey also did not evade, nodded, hesitated, or said the truth, “She has been looking for Jerry Xiao. I’m afraid you’re sad, so I do not dare to mention … with you.”
Sad? He’s only really sad when his sister gets hurt …
“Idiot.” Owen Baker pinches Zoey’s nose, sighs, and asks slyly, “Is that why you’re looking so devastated today, because they’re together?”
Zoey hid her face between Owen Baker’s neck, and only after a long time did she stifle her voice, “Brother, you know what? I’ve loved him for over ten years. When I promised my dad to marry into the Xiao Family, I thought I was marrying him …”
These heartfelt words came out of Zoey’s heart for the first time. Softly but through a silent night of desolation, let Owen Baker even heart wrinkled up.
He put his arm around Zoey , “Silly girl, you should have talked to me back then.”
“I didn’t mean to get Chuck killed. If I knew he would hate me like that, I wouldn’t have done that kind of thing back then no matter what …”
Tears of remorse and guilt flowed from her eyes.
Soaking into Owen Baker’s skin, Owen Baker shuddered and held the thin woman close to him, stroking the top of her hair heartily, “Don’t cry, silly. You’re a good girl, and you deserve to be loved.”
Also worth it, he loves …
…
After calming down, Zoey went upstairs and both children were asleep.
She stood quietly in the doorway, gazing longingly at the two poor children.
Babies, if Mommy tells you that your daddy will be with your aunt in the future, will you blame Mommy for not trying hard enough to get this fatherly love for you?
It’s not that mommy doesn’t try …
Rather, love is something that can never be forced …
After showering, Zoey didn’t sleep in her bedroom. Instead, he gently nestled into the children’s bed.
She secretly lay down in the middle, arms spread out, holding one in one hand.
KK is very alert and woke up in a daze when Zoey brought her to her feet. Squinting her big beautiful eyes, she murmured, “Zoey?”
“Hmm. Did it bother you?” Zoey’s voice was as soft as cotton wool.
The little one shook his head, cooed reassuringly and rubbed his round little head into her arms.
Nini also shrank, her soft, thin arms holding Zoey’s waist firmly in place.
The warmth of one left and one right made her cold heart feel slightly better.
Close your eyes, just a scene in the conference room, uncontrollably appear in your mind, as if the surrounding body still carries the scent of Jerry Xiao alone, even every inch of his kissed skin, there are residual his taste.
Nabi is not back yet …
Now, what are they doing? Are they doing the same intimate things they do with each other … or, even more so?
Thinking about it, Zoey was so uncomfortable that she almost choked.
Take a deep breath, force yourself not to think about it, hug the child tightly and try to get yourself to sleep.
As long as the CASE at hand is busy, everything will be over, so, that’s good!
…
Zoey doesn’t know when she fell asleep, but she knows she still didn’t hear Nabi come back before she did.
After leading the children to wash up, she changed into her professional clothes and went downstairs to have breakfast.
Yami Hu was seen sitting on the sofa with a somewhat worried face.
Sam Baker, on the other hand, was flipping through the newspaper with his brother Owen Baker sitting across from them, and his face didn’t look good either.
Zoey’s heart ‘stuttered’. Could it be that her parents knew about her brother and Nabi’s divorce?
“Dad, mom, brother, why are you all sitting here early in the morning, not going to have breakfast?”
“I’m not in the mood to eat.” Yami Hu looked at Owen Baker and complained to Zoey in anger: “Look at your brother and your sister-in-law, what kind of couple is this? One doesn’t come back all night, and the other doesn’t even care where his wife is going! Is this the way to be a couple?”
Nabi didn’t come back all night? Then last night …
Heh … what does this have to do with herself? Why should she bother guessing?
Zoey smiled to herself and took Yami Hu by the shoulders to help her brother, “Mom, don’t let this kind of thing affect your mood this early in the morning. Come on, let’s go have breakfast first, sister-in-law may have her own business, she will definitely be back later.”
Zoey’s words just fell. In the foyer, there was indeed a movement.
Nabi Yan came in from outside a little tired, only to see the family looking at her, she froze for a moment, before calling down, “Dad, Mom.”
“Hmm.” Sam Baker responded only faintly, not looking up from his newspaper.
Yami Hu deliberated on the wording and started: “Nabi, mom doesn’t blame you either. But you are not a child anymore, and a married woman should always have some sense of propriety. There have been rumors that you and Owen are not getting along. I hope that you can have a child soon, so that those outside rumors are dispersed. But you don’t listen, and now you don’t come back. If people outside know about this, they may spread some unreliable rumors again.”
Nabi Yan seems to have gotten used to this topic from her mother-in-law and just stood there with her eyes downcast without saying anything.
Owen Baker got up, looked at Nabi Yan, and took the blame on himself, “Mom, it’s early in the morning, can we eat first? As I said, we don’t have any idea of having a baby yet. You shouldn’t blame her either, that’s what I meant.”
Zoey also hurriedly interjected, “Yes. Mom, these are the couple’s business, so you should not worry about it. I have two more children for you to hold! When Nini and the others are grown up, you can rush your brother later. Right?”
Perhaps thinking of Zoey’s two lovely children, Yami Hu’s face has eased a lot.
But, the next second …
Nabi Yan, who was always silent, suddenly opened her mouth.
“Mom, you don’t have to rush us at all about the baby.” She paused before continuing decisively, “Owen and I will never have children.”
Yami Hu was about to get up to go to the restaurant when he heard her words and stopped moving at once.
Sam Baker also pulled the newspaper down and looked at his daughter-in-law without moving.
Zoey glanced at Owen Baker, who looked thoughtfully at Yami Hu without making a sound.
It seems that this is the real thing to mention divorce …
As soon as Zoey’s mind was made up, Nabi Yan looked around the room and looked firmly at the head of the family, Sam Baker, “Dad, I want a divorce from Owen.”
The voice was soft, but the certainty and shock of it made the two elders of the family freeze there.
The atmosphere in the hall, all of a sudden became dead.
Zoey’s hand was still resting on her mother’s shoulder, and I could feel the slim body trembling under the palm of my hand.
…
There was silence for a long time, only to hear a childish voice coming down from upstairs, “KK, what’s a ‘divorce’?”
It’s Nini, the curious baby who’s not afraid of anything.
“Idiot, it means that auntie doesn’t want uncle anymore, so uncle will have to die alone in the future!” KK explained like a little adult.
“Oh.” Nini understood. Big eyes blinked down, very sympathetic looking at her favorite uncle, little mouth flattened, “Uncle is so pathetic …”
Zoey’s forehead broke into a cold sweat. These two little grandchildren!
