The other person, it should only be Jerry Xiao! She, who has never been a long-suffering person. Without hitting the south wall, where would she let go?
“Zoey is so old, let’s not care so much, she is not small anymore, it’s time to fall in love.” Yami Hu is different from Sam Baker, she smiled and patted Zoey’s hand, “When will you bring him back for mom and dad to take a good look, don’t just let the two kids appraise him, but also let us take a look.”
“Mom …” Zoey was a little embarrassed by what was said, “I know, I’ll get a chance later.”
Hearing her daughter say this, Yami Hu heart happy flowers. Thinking of what, the smile slightly converged, turned his head to look at Owen Baker who did not make a sound, “Owen , you are not young, is not it time to find another one?”
Not expecting the spotlight to fall on him, Owen Baker froze for a moment and looked up at his mother. Yami Hu said, “You can’t be with Nabi, so it’s not meant to be. I’ll give you one more year, if you can’t find the right one, I’ll have to go and look for you myself. When that time comes, don’t try to run away.”
“Mom …” Zoey was just about to say that her brother already had a lover. But before the words could come out of her mouth, Owen Baker silently tapped the back of her hand with his chopsticks, signaling her to be silent. “Mom, I have plans of my own. Will give you all an explanation.”
Hearing him say that, Yami Hu and Sam Baker looked at each other, then they also nodded their heads and didn’t say anything else. Zoey looked at them somewhat strangely, always feeling that there was something strange in all of their eyes, but she didn’t know what was going on. Zoey looked at them a bit strangely, but she didn’t know what was going on.
“Zoey , you’re sleepy , go up and rest for a while .” Owen Baker admonished Zoey lovingly .
Zoey nodded and took her bag to go upstairs, when she thought of something, she turned back, “Brother, let’s go see Nabi together today, okay?”
“What? Another accident?” Owen Baker asked casually.
Both elders looked over as well. Zoey pursed her lips before saying, “I went to the hospital early this morning. She … slit her wrists.”
“What?” Yami Hu was the most shocked, but the two big men just looked surprised. Yami Hu asked Zoey , “Is it because of Jerry Xiao that she tossed herself like that?”
Zoey muses and nods, “Probably.”
Yami Hu sighed and shook her head, “I really don’t know what kind of sin she has done, she refused to stay in our house when she was well, but now she is tossing herself around like this. What an unintelligent girl, I don’t know how sad her mom is going to be.”
“Wasn’t it just the other day that the two were going to get married?” Sam Baker asked.
Owen Baker looked at Zoey . Zoey shook her head, “No, they never said anything about getting married.”
Owen Baker nodded in a knowing manner. It was wishful thinking on Nabi Yan’s part, methinks.
“Thought they were really going to be together. Jerry’s a promising kid, it’s just a shame about his condition …,” Yami Hu phrased carefully, “His brother is the WIID disorder going. How did they get a genetic disease like that in their family?”
Zoey’s hand, gripping her bag, subconsciously squeezes tightly, her face blushing slightly.
Her mother’s words certainly poked at her worst fears.
Owen Baker noticed his sister’s expression and a trace of astringency crossed his heart. Just when she wanted to say something to stop her mother from saying anything further, Sam Baker had already cut off the words, “Forget it, these are all outsiders’ affairs, none of them have anything to do with us now. Let’s eat first, go to the company after eating.”
Her husband had spoken, and Yami Hu had said nothing more. No one but Owen Baker noticed Zoey’s disoriented appearance.
“Dad, mom, brother, I’m going upstairs first.”
“Well, go up and get some rest.” Yami Hu nodded. Sam Baker looked at his daughter’s tired appearance and couldn’t help but mumble, “This girl is always strange lately, she doesn’t come back for meals or at night.”
Yami Hu patted him comfortingly, “Don’t worry, the child is so old, let her be!”
“Uh-huh.” It would have to do. Sam Baker nodded and said nothing more.
In the past few days, Jerry Xiao has become more and more fond of coming home, because, in this home, there is not only one more her, but also two more children. Although it is rare for the three of them to stay here together, they are here from time to time, and the atmosphere is especially warm and lively. It was a wonderful feeling.
This day.
Zoey came out of her house and was about to go to the market to buy the ingredients for tonight’s cooking. Instead, the phone in her bag rang.
She glanced at the screen and was surprised to see that it was Sea Gu. On her face, she couldn’t help but crack a smile and pick up the phone …
“Dine with me tonight at any rate!” Opening his mouth, those were the words, heartfelt and urgent.
Zoey laughs, “What happened?”
“Help!” Sea Gu wailed over there, “My dad had to catch me on a blind date, if you don’t help me this time, I’m done for.”
“A blind date? Isn’t that good? With a nature like yours, shouldn’t you find a girl to settle down with and cure you?” Zoey gloated a bit.
“Please, just don’t make all that noise. Six o’clock, at Wing’s Restaurant, you don’t come to my rescue, I’ll flip.” Sea Gu doesn’t give her a way back.
“You have so many confidants, can’t you just pick one?”
“Didn’t I just pick one off the top of my head? The point man, and you ended up winning the bid. This proves that God destined you to be my hero.”
Zoey, crying and laughing, took her voice and spoke, “Mr. Gu, may I ask what your hero should do for you in a moment?”
This is a promise, Sea Gu is obviously relieved, even the tone of voice is also much more relaxed, “You do not have to do anything, just dress up beautifully to appear, and then in a moment I say something, you just nod your head.”
“Okay then, 6:00, no see you there.” Zoey, naturally, couldn’t say no to him.
After hanging up the phone and looking at the time it was already after 5:00, it looked like there was no way to make dinner for the three of them, father and son. Only had to make another call.
The phone, quickly picked up, and Zoey could still hear the sound of papers being turned over on the other end.
“Still busy?” Her tone was full of concern and heartache. Even the busiest person, hearing this kind of concern, I’m afraid that fatigue will be relieved a lot. Jerry Xiao slightly paused, “Wait for me for a while, the meeting will be over in about 10 minutes, I’ll go directly to pick up the children. I’ll be home in half an hour.”
All the people in the conference room heard this sentence, all of them were surprised, but they did not dare to show it, only silently exchanging looks with each other. Recently, Mr. Xiao s mood has suddenly changed greatly, and it is so good that it turns out that not only is he in love, but he … even got married silently, no! Not only married, there are children!
In one fell swoop, shattering the beautiful dreams of an unknown number of girls …
Oh, my God! I wonder if Zoey knows about this! She brings him lunch every day!
The coworkers all sighed.
“Might have to let you take the kids out to eat tonight.” Zoey’s voice came from over there.
This way …
Jerry Xiao wrinkled his nose, “What’s wrong?”
“I’ve got something going on tonight and I don’t have time to make dinner. So I wanted to take one dinner off with you. The kids are all yours.”
Jerry Xiao wanted to ask her what she was up to at night and if she needed a ride, but, in the end, he held back. If he asked too much, would it be too much like a woman?
After hanging up the phone, Zoey didn’t slow down and hurriedly stopped the car and headed to Wing’s restaurant. It was still some distance away! I’m afraid I’m going to be late.
Jerry Xiao drove to pick up the kids. The two little ones seemed to like him and Zoey, and had been coming here more often since they had stayed at his house. jerry Xiao had wondered if the children’s mother would allow them to come over, and if she would be worried if they didn’t return home from time to time.
But every time she asked, the children looked like they had something to hide and didn’t want to talk about it, so Jerry Xiao guessed that the children weren’t doing well at home, and that their mother might not be a good mother either. A home without a father is incomplete, and the mother may not have been a good mother, which is why the children love them so much.
In his heart, he cherished the two children, and after a few experiences he didn’t ask any more questions. He just told Zoey to communicate with the mother of the children.
He was always comfortable with what she did.
“Uncle, why didn’t Zoey come to pick us up?” KK sat on the passenger seat, her thin little legs swinging around mischievously. Nini also poked her little head over, waiting curiously for Uncle to answer.
“Zoey said something else came up. Let Uncle take you guys out for a big dinner tonight.” Jerry Xiao rubbed Nini’s little head and looked at the kids two more times each, “Where do you guys want to eat? The children’s drive-in restaurant? Or the underwater restaurant?”
“Drive-in restaurants! I love bumper cars!” Nini immediately raised her hand.
“Don’t! The underwater restaurant is more fun, I want to see the big sharks!” KK was not to be outdone.
“Big sharks are ugly, I don’t like them!” Nini expressed her dislike for KK’s taste.
“Bumper cars are boring, okay? Don’t you get tired of going every time?” KK and dislike Nini’s lack of understanding.
“Hmph! People don’t want to go to the underwater world anyway!” Princess Disease kicked in, domineeringly twisting her face away and refusing to negotiate with KK.
“Coward! You’re obviously afraid of crocodiles, sharks, big squid, and … “Pvmb. “Don’t you dare say that again! You’re the coward!” Being poked in the sore spot, Nini’s small face was suffocatingly red, furiously interrupting KK’s words.
Jerry Xiao just felt a headache, this is the case again. If Zoey was here, she could have solved it easily, right?
“That …” he looked at KK, “You’re a man, why don’t we show some gentlemanly behavior?”
KK’s little mouth turned away, and his big eyes looked at Jerry Xiao, accusing, “Uncle is biased!”
Jerry Xiao was speechless. He could only twist his face and try to negotiate with the little girl, “Nini, why don’t we continue Kong Rong letting the pear?”
“Uncle doesn’t love Nini anymore!” Which know, Nini’s watery eyes all of a sudden about to fall tears, pear blossom rain look screwed up his heart hurt.
Hmph! She also knows the trick of the bitter meat trick, yeah! And, it has a much higher success rate than KK’s bitter trick. That’s the advantage of being a girl!
The two kids are making a lot of noise, and Jerry Xiao is having a hard time. She couldn’t call Zoey directly and let her handle it from a distance. In the end, the final decision can only be helpless, “then both places to go, how?”
This, is the only compromise. Before the two children have not spoken, he decisively continued: “Don’t be afraid of sharks and crocodiles, there is uncle in, those fish can’t hurt our little princess. What about KK, you don’t have to play bumper cars, let’s go eat while watching a car 5D movie. This way, OK?”
“OK!” the two kids responded in unison. However, a new problem arose.
“So does Uncle go to the children’s restaurant first or the undersea restaurant first?”
“First to the children’s restaurant, of course!”
