“Yes, he has his true feelings, but you have to admit that Krista is different from gentle and obedient Flora. Krista has a strong personality, has his own opinion, and his heart is not in Cheney’s body. If Cheney wants to stay with Krista for a lifetime, he is afraid…” He said, shaking his head.
I’m a little unhappy. “Come on, say it. Why don’t you, I like listening to you so much?”
“Why are you so reluctant to face reality, Krista, that girl is not so easy to tame.”
I curled my lips. “Why do you want to tame? Your grandson fell in love with this woman. It’s too late for him to pay more feelings to somebody to disregard Krista. Why tame others? Anyway, you men are selfish.”
Say that finish, I turned and walked directly outside the study.
Krista’s pov
I crossed the backyard to the door and got in the car.
Cheney started the car and said, “What have you got to talk to Uncle Jacob about? It took you so long to finish it.”
I fastened my seat belt and said, “Nothing. Uncle Jacob just asked me how I spent all these years.”
“You mentioned all from the first day you left?”
I gave him a white mark. How can this guy laugh at people so much?
“You have a problem.”
“There is none, but I think you can also tell me about it in the future. ”
“I have nothing to say.”
“You talk a lot to Uncle Jacob.”
I eyebrow: “Are you finding it wrong?”
“I’m talking about things as they are.”
“Uncle Jacob also talked to me about the current situation of the Fischer family in recent years. The elders are still talking, so I can’t just leave.”
After a moment’s silence, he added, “I’m not looking for fault, I’m really curious to know your life over the years.”
I didn’t say anything, because I didn’t want to lie, but all these years, I was with Romeo. If I didn’t lie, wouldn’t I reveal it?
We have arrived to my place, and he stopped the car, I untied my seat belt and said, “Thank you for sending me back. I will go first.”
He grabbed my wrist and hooked his lips. “Won’t you invite me for a coffee?”
“I am a little tired and want to go to bed early.”
He didn’t get angry. He asked, “Have you decided when to go to work?”
“I…” I wanted to say I wasn’t going, but it didn’t seem like a good time. I had to delay. “I didn’t think about it, don’t worry.”
“It’s really the eunuch is not in a hurry, but the emperor is in a hurry.”
I was speechless and smiled. This man didn’t eat half a loss.
“I will go ahead, be careful on the road.” Open the door and get off, and I never look back into the car.
The next afternoon, I went to the Irwin family to play with Romeo for a while.
Romeo was a little reluctant. “Mom, will you come again tomorrow?”
I sadly say, “I’m afraid I cannot come tomorrow. I’m going to see an old friend.”
“Who, from the Butterfly Island?”
I rubbed his head. “No, it’s the best friend your mother told you about.”
“Oh, I see. It’s Aunt Echo.”
I laughed and said, “Yes, your mother will introduce you to Aunt Echo in the future, OK?”
Romeo said solemnly, “Well, I think I will like this aunt very much.”
I wonder, “Why do you think so?”
“I like people my mother likes. My mother’s favorite friend, I will like it even more.”
I smiled speechless, this little sycophant.
I went to the coffee shop where Echo and I used to visit together, and I saw her sitting around the corner. We hugged each other excitedly, and Echo gave me an exaggerated kiss on the face.
“God, you are simply a goblin. How did you do for so many years and haven’t changed at all?”
“Who said I haven’t changed? I’ve lost weight, okay?”
Echo was a little sad: “If Cheney hadn’t found you, would I really never have a chance to see you again in my life?”
I sipped my lips and kept silent.
Echo took me to sit down. “Krista, I really can’t understand why you had to leave. You were in a situation at that time. Can’t you make it clear to Cheney that you had a divorce? Why do you have to leave?”
I looked at her and said with sincere eyes, “At that time, I had a reason to leave, because I was… pregnant, and I didn’t plan to tell Cheney, so I had to leave.”
She was surprised and stunned and looked at me. “My God.” After that, she couldn’t say a word for a long time.
I smiled. “I have a son who is almost five years old now. Romeo is a very clever and lovely little guy.”
“Where is the child now? Did you bring him to City A? Does Cheney know?”
I shook my head. “Do you remember what I told you before?”
“That Lockie?”
I nodded. “When I found something wrong, I asked Lockie to take the child to the Irwin family. Before I came to see you, I had just been to the Irwin family and mentioned you to Romeo. I will introduce you when I am stable in City A.”
“I can’t wait, really! I want to be the adoptive mother of your son.”
I couldn’t help laughing. “Of course, you must be.”
“Show me the photos. I want to see who my adopted son looks like.”
I sipped my lips. “Like me.” As I spoke, I took out my mobile phone and gave it to Echo.
Echo kept sighing, “It’s more like you. Wow, it’s so beautiful, like a girl.”
“If Romeo hears that, he’ll be mad at you,” I laughed. “He always says he’s a man.”
When I finished speaking, Echo’s cell phone rang, and she picked it up, as if she had made an appointment with the other party.
After hanging up the phone, she smiled mysteriously and said, “I’m sorry Krista, I need to meet my fiancé.”
I smiled pleasantly. “Fiancé? You’re getting married? Why didn’t you mention it before?”
“I also want to mention it, but you only say a few words every time, and hang up when you report peace. What do I say? This one was introduced by my family. I think it is not bad, so I plan to get married.”
I picked my eyebrows. “Then I really want to see him.”
Echo got up. “Get up and come with me.”
We left the cafe together and came to the Revolving Restaurant. Echo and I walked into the hotel door arm in arm and found her fiancé Solomon in the restaurant.
Echo said, “Krista, this is my boyfriend Solomon, Solomon, this is my best friend, Krista.”
She finished and patted Solomon on the shoulder. “Why are you staring? Are you becoming statue when you see beautiful women?”
Solomon quickly stood up and held out his hand to me. “Hello, Miss Krista. Nice to meet you.”
I sipped my lips and smiled and shook hands with him. “Hello, nice to meet you.”
