It wasn’t known was it selfishness or what. And Anthony didn’t know if Lolita’s thinking had changed, but hers had. That’s why she felt at a loss for confidence when Alice asked her. Anthony was regretful, if he had known that one sentence could cause so much mental change in the heart, he wouldn’t have said nonsense.
Looking at Anthony in front who seemed to sink in his thoughts in an instant and think about Lolita, Alice shook her hand in front of him saying and said,
-What are you thinking?
Hearing the voice, Anthony came back from the thought and saw that she was looking at him, so he took two steps back blushing and said,
Nothing, sister-in-law, do you know about Lolita?
Hearing that, Alice gawked, it was just that she and Lolita hadn’t known each other for a long time, and they didn’t meet much in private except at the company, she didn’t know much about her. Besides, Alice wasn’t a gossip, what little she knew was Lolita had told her.
Anthony’s look became serious.
-After you returned to the country, there was a gang of people who wanted to capture Lolita several times and she ran away tight each time. At first she wouldn’t tell me the cause when I asked her, I thought she had offended someone or owed money. Even once I helped her, she told me she had run away from her marriage arranged by her family.
-She mentioned this thing to me, but I don’t know it very well.
-Her family wanted to marry her off to an unknown man for benefits, but she didn’t want to do it, so her family cut off her finances and wouldn’t let her leave the house. Later she found an opportunity and ran away. After that, you two met.
Marrying a man for family benefits? Hearing these words, Alice thought to herself suddenly. Initially the Casaus family had married her into the Moore family on Liliana’s behalf, also for benefits, hadn’t they? At that time she had just been divorced, and had to marry again. Thinking how could there be such cruel parents in the world, but then she found out that they were not her biological parents.
Since she was like that, and Lolita would also be…? ?
Alice only thought that in her heart, she didn’t say it openly.
-So what do you think?
-What? -Hearing the question, Anthony didn’t know how to answer at that moment.
-Don’t you like her?
Anthony was speechless. “When do I say I like her?”
-My sister-in-law, can we stop freaking out? -When do I say that?
-Really? You don’t have feelings for her?
Actually, Alice clearly saw that when Anthony mentioned Lolita, he had a tone full of wanting, so Alice guessed that the two people had had something in the process of getting along. If not, why did Anthony have a guilty conscience?
Anthony lost confidence when he was asked about Alice. He was going to deny out loud that he had no feelings for Lolita, but he thought about the day before when he was making a joke and the strange atmosphere between them, he couldn’t say the words that were already gone even though the words had come to his mouth.
-Alice said with a deeper laugh, and said no more to Anthony but walked slowly forward.
It was that she had seen Kennedy coming toward them.
It seemed that Kennedy saw that she and Anthony were too close, so Kennedy gave a cold look at Anthony directly with a grim face and dark eyes.
Anthony, who was immersed in his thoughts, was suddenly shaken by a chill and felt a piercing gaze behind. Anthony turned slowly and saw Kennedy’s gaze.
So the look Anthony felt was Kennedy’s? How had he offended Kennedy? After much thought, Anthony believed he had spoken to the sister-in-law, so Kennedy was jealous.
My goodness, Kennedy was indeed a person who was jealous. If it wasn’t that Anthony was open-minded, he was supposed to have cut off the friendship with Kennedy a long time ago.
Of course, Anthony just thought that without saying it. Anthony flashed a silly grin like a fool and ran excitedly over to Kennedy and Alice.
Alice, who today wore a blue dress with soft hair falling naturally on her shoulders and wore a bit of makeup on her face with a confident look, walked naturally beside Kennedy. She leaned close to Kennedy who liked that very much.
-I’m going to hug her,” Alice reached out her hands to Kennedy wanting to hug Pepita, but Kennedy gave another arm to her.
-What for?” Alice blinked and looked at him with eyes like water without knowing the cause. Kennedy looked at her with resignation and grace and said, “It’s enough to hug me, you don’t need to hug Pepita.
Alice didn’t know what to say.
She just seemed that from the beginning until now Kennedy kept hugging Pepita and she was afraid that he was hurting her hands, that’s why she wanted to help him. Who knew he didn’t need help and was reaching out to her.
After thinking, Alice took his arm.
Seeing that, Anthony next door could not hold back a scream and said,
-I can’t do that, you guys deliberately show love in front of me. You already have a beautiful daughter, besides, you show love in front of me.
Hearing that, Kennedy gave him a lazy glance and said, -If you are jealous, you can look for a girlfriend.
Taking Kennedy’s arm, Alice smiled and said, -Yes, you can look for a girlfriend and then you can show love in front of us.
Anthony expressed his resignation.
At the banquet celebrating Pepita’s first month birthday, there were a lot of people. Alice thought before to do it simply to invite acquaintances, but Leonardo did not want to do it simply. Leonardo believed that Pepita was a treasure, so he needed to send invitation cards to invite more people including some of his old friends. He said that old friends before made fun of him that there was no heir and he was alone without a grandchild.
Leonardo, who was alone then, remembered those words a long time and remembered now who said that, therefore the invitation cards were a priority for the old friends who teased him.
The old men of the big families, who teased before, now collected the invitation cards and congratulated Leonardo blushing one after another to give this face to Leonardo.
And Leonardo constantly boasted that his grandson was so excellent and his grandson’s wife was so worthy and generous, and their two sons were very intelligent.
And it was true that Kennedy and Alice were so beautiful that it made the old men envious. Although the old men were not happy, they were armed with patience. After all, they had made fun of Leonardo before.
