What was strange?
Alice looked in surprise at Reuben, who was standing in front of her, thinking something was strange, but it wasn’t the person in front of her, and then it seemed like it was.
When she noticed something for a while, Ruben turned on the faucet and washed his hands calmly as usual while he remembered her smiling.
-By the way, this is the men’s room here, are you sure you’re not coming out?
The roots of Alice’s ears reddened and blood spurted from the soles of her feet almost instantly. She turned her head and saw several standing by the urinal nervously grabbing their pants and looking at her with frightened expressions.
She stumbled into the men’s room anxiously.
-Sorry!” itching and embarrassed, Alice hurried out after saying so.
Next to the men’s restroom was the women’s restroom. After exiting the men’s, she went into the women’s to get herself decked out. Confirming that she was already breathing normally, Alice wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and washed her face with the water.
“I’m going back to ask the waiter for a cup of water to wipe my mouth.” thought Alice.
But Alice didn’t expect that as soon as she came out of the bathroom, she saw Ruben against the wall.
As he watched her come out, his eyes were glued to her face motionless, and he asked her with a slight smile, -All set?
Alice didn’t think she had gone to the bathroom wrongly, nor had she run into him. Remembering that he had given her a napkin and remembered it was the men’s room, Alice’s mouth twitched, -Thanks for what you did.
Then she stepped forward and walked directly in front of him.
At the sight of him, Ruben raised his eyebrows and his thin lips lifted slightly, -You’re leaving already?
Hearing this, Alice stopped and looked at her with a dubious expression, -Anything else?
-Why are you here?- Ruben approached her with an alien smile, narrowed his eyes as if he was thinking hard, and suddenly put on an awakened expression, -I remember the last time we met, didn’t you and Kennedy say that the wedding was about to take place? What? Isn’t it time for the wedding ceremony yet?
As soon as he approached, his scent spread fast, very unfamiliar.
Alice furrowed her eyebrows unconsciously and took two steps back, keeping some distance from him.
-Or don’t you dare invite me to the wedding?
Alice raised her head and her gaze met Reuben’s in the air.
After a while, Alice smiled wryly, -About this question, I think you should already know without asking!
For the Espinar family, it was not difficult to know things about Kennedy. What mattered was whether he was pretending not to know or being stupid in front of her to satirize her.
Zoe had chased after Kennedy, and the two women had met in the act. If anything bad happened to Kennedy, the people who would be happy first would be Ruben and Zoe.
-What?” Reuben was too curious to know, or maybe he was too bored. He hadn’t expected to see a little fun, so he wanted to have some fun, -I think that even if they don’t want to invite us to the wedding, I shouldn’t have this attitude, right? Maybe… the Espinar family and you will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future?
Alice’s eyebrows became tighter and tighter, because according to Ruben’s behavior in front of her, it looked too much like he wanted to make fun of her.
She was photographed by the media at the wedding alone and went to the airport alone, and at the same time, Kennedy had an accident on the plane and her whereabouts were unknown. She was now a member of the Carlos family.
“Doesn’t Ruben know all this?
Forget it, don’t bother, what’s the difference if he knows or not?
Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, and I just have to remember that I came for Kennedy. ”
Thinking about this, Alice was no longer angry and the emotions in her eyes faded, -I don’t know if there will be any cooperation or not, I have something to do, I’m leaving first.
After saying so, she ignored the other party’s reaction, turned and left.
Looking at his back resolutely, Ruben squinted his eyes with his chin in his hand.
“According to the last time I saw Kennedy, this one should love that woman very much. Why is she throwing up half-dead here now, but him not even being by her side to take care of her?
Oh, are men really easy to change their hearts?”
At the thought of this sentence, Reuben completely forgot that he was a man too.
He shook his head, losing his only amusement, and reluctantly returned to the box.
In it, there were friends drinking cooperatively. As they saw him enter, they waved him over, -Ruben, come here and have two more glasses.
Ruben sat down, took the cup and drank it with a smile.
-Ruben’s drinking ability is really getting better and better. After drinking so much, he doesn’t even change his face.
-Yes, yes, Ruben, we toast you again.
-Toast!
***
Before returning to the box, Alice didn’t dare to enter and then smell that horrible taste that would turn her stomach.
Probably as she heard her footsteps, Anthony got up quickly and opened the door, -Sister-in-law, you’re coming back, I had called the waiter to remove the plate, and the window is also open. Are you okay?
Hearing that, Alice was stunned for a moment, because she didn’t expect that man to be so kind and considerate.
She looked at him gratefully and nodded her head.
-Thank you, I’m fine now.
But you look a little strange, sister-in-law, that dish is the specialty of the store, the most authentic in this restaurant. Why are you vomiting at the smell?
Alice didn’t say anything of course, because she was pregnant and couldn’t smell anything too unctuous.
The baby in her stomach was sensitive. It was fine for her to eat normally, but once she smelled these kinds of dishes, her stomach became very upset.
-I’m sorry, I wasn’t intentional. I had a sudden upset stomach, and I don’t know if it was because I drank something bad in the morning.
Hearing that, Anthony’s face instantly changed.
-So do you want me to take you to the hospital?
-No thanks, I just need to rest for a while.
Anthony thought of something, got up immediately, and asked the waiter for warm water. Alice was very touched because he thought of everything she had not expected.
-You’re very attentive.
Anthony touched his head in great embarrassment at her compliment and said with a smile, -How can I be? Just because it’s been you, and I can’t be too careless?
What could I explain to Kennedy if something terrible happened to her?
At last the meal was finished smoothly, still a little torturously. After saying goodbye to Alice, Anthony drove straight to Carlos’ house and found Kennedy.
-Dammit, I sent you messages on Whatsapp, why didn’t you answer? Do you know how many pretexts I took to hold her back?
