Bastian looked at Susie and didn’t say anything. His expression was a little gloomy.
“That’s right. What is he looking forward to? Since he left Susie, it proves that he and Susie have no fate in this life.”
Although Susie’s personality was gentle and amiable, she would never change her mind on matters that had been decided upon.
It was his fault at that time, so he could no longer ask for her forgiveness.
Eva was furious when she saw Bastian looking at Susie in a daze without saying a word. However, she couldn’t say anything to Bastian for fear that he would get angry.
She felt more and more that Susie was an eyesore.
“Susie, what’s your boyfriend doing? He can work here…”
“I don’t have much work to do. You don’t have to worry about it.” Susie was really helpless. There were so many people present, why did Eva hold her back? Was it because she was Bastian’s ex-girlfriend?
“Ah… it turns out to be a vagrant without any job! Susie is not good. It’s better for a man to have a career. You’re not old anymore, so you should think more about your future. What if you get married and have children in the future? You can’t take all the blame, can you?”
“You’re looking for a boyfriend… Not only do you have to look at his appearance, but you also have to look at his character. However, it’s hard to find a man like Bastian who looks good or has a good character. It’s a pity that you missed him…” Eva said gently, but there was something hidden in his words.
Those who didn’t know would think that she was very concerned about Susie, but both in the open and in the dark, they all said that Liam was a man who lived off a woman, and he had no other use except for his good looks. They also said that Susie was blind and gave up Bastian, a good man, and insisted on choosing such a gigolo.
Get to the bottom of it, okay?! It was Bastian who cheated first. How did it become Susie’s fault in her mouth?
Yilia was about to go mad from anger. She had always been impatient, so she couldn’t stand it anymore. She couldn’t help saying, “Eva, you’re really good at making empty talk. If it weren’t for your tricks…”
Before she could finish her words, she was stopped by Susie.
After all, the gathering was held in the territory of Eva’s family. There were also a few teachers here. It was bad for them to be in a deadlock.
Susie gave Yilia a look, and Yilia had no choice but to hold back her anger. She took a big sip of the drink and calmed down.
She just couldn’t stand Eva’s success. Did he really think that Susie was a steamed bun that could be bullied at will?!
“Miss Leonard, you don’t have to worry about our business. I think it’s better for you to take care of your own business. After all, your boyfriend always looks after my girlfriend. I will be jealous.” Liam said while holding Susie’s waist.
Susie was frightened by his actions and fell into Liam’s arms without warning.
Feeling dizzy, Susie felt Liam’s breath all over her body… This feeling was very warm and at ease, but when she thought of their actions at this time, she couldn’t help blushing.
Bastian looked at their intimate actions and did not know what he was feeling.
Hearing Liam’s words, Eva almost couldn’t keep the smile on his face. She knew that Bastian’s eyes were always fixed on Susie, but she felt a little embarrassed that Liam said it in public.
“I can rest assured when I see how loving you two are…” Eva said with a fake smile. In reality, he kept cursing Susie in his heart. It would be best if they broke up as soon as possible!
WHY ARE YOU ALL SO ABLE OF SURE OF Susie?!
She was almost mad with anger. Bastian used to be the same, but now there was Liam. She was a Miss from a rich family. Shouldn’t they fawn on her?
When Susie saw that Eva was no longer pestering her, she returned to her seat after greeting her teacher and exchanging a few words of greetings. She only wanted to quickly finish her meal and leave so that Eva wouldn’t make trouble again.
Just as he was about to leave, Eva, with sharp eyes, saw him and dragged Bastian over.
Yilia couldn’t help touching her forehead. “Is this woman going to stop?”
“Susie, I’ll hold a wedding with Bastian next month. I hope you can come. I really hope you can be my bridesmaid…”
Before Susie could react, she said, “Then let’s make a happy decision. You can’t go back on your word then.” She then left with Bastian.
Walking out of the door, Yilia couldn’t help but say, “Is this woman sick? Who happily decided that she was talking to herself alone? I think these two people are really disgusting. It was they who let you down at that time…”
Yilia still wanted to say something, but she was afraid of touching Susie’s sad past.
“It’s okay. I’m not that angry, but you’re.” Susie was amused.
“Humph! You’re such a good-tempered person. They’re just trying to bully you several times!” Yilia said indignantly.
“But at that time, Liam looked really handsome when she defended you against injustice! You didn’t see that Eva was speechless by him, and his face turned green, hahaha…”
Susie thought about it. At that time, Eva’s expression was really funny. She couldn’t help sneaking a glance at Liam beside her. She didn’t expect that Liam would just turn her head and look into her eyes.
Oh, I stole a peek and was caught.
Susie pretended to look away casually, as if she had accidentally caught a glimpse of it.
“At first, I didn’t want to admit that he was your cousin. I knew it wouldn’t be that simple,” Yilia said cunningly.
Susie was a little helpless. It was estimated that in the eyes of these people, she had already confirmed the name of Liam’s boyfriend. No matter how hard she tried, she could not run away.
Yilia’s house was nearby. After saying goodbye to her, Susie and Liam walked along the road. The warm yellow street lights dragged their shadows very long, and the tall shadows wrapped around the petite shadows were not abrupt at all.
Liam felt that Susie was absent-minded all night. Others didn’t notice, but they couldn’t escape his eyes.
“Do you have something on your mind?” he asked. “Is it because of Bastian and Eva?”
Thinking about what had happened in the hotel before, Liam felt that it was most likely related to them.
“N-no.” Susie refused to admit it.
“Even I can’t say it?”
Looking at Liam’s eyes as if they were filled with stars, and there was only her petite figure in those beautiful eyes, Susie suddenly had a feeling that she wanted to spit it out.
“In fact, it’s true. I just couldn’t help but think of the past when I saw Bastian. Although I don’t like him anymore, I still feel betrayed,” Susie said, feeling a little uncomfortable.
“As soon as I see him, I think of those things. They are like an unhealable wound, which hurts when I think of it from time to time.”
“I told myself that everything was in the past. I had to forget everything that should be forgotten, but I found it easy to say, but it was very difficult to do it.”
“At that time, I treated Bastian as my family, but I didn’t expect that… I felt as if I had been abandoned by the world.”
Susie said slowly, her voice laced with tears.
“Liam, I really hate betrayal…”
“Since my parents left, I have been alone. Sometimes I think why they didn’t take me away when they left, so that our family could reunite.”
Liam’s heart ached. This little girl had lost her parents. She couldn’t bear to be betrayed by someone close to her after that period of time.
He couldn’t help but hug Susie and stroke her head.
“It’s okay. You still have me. Everything will be fine. I won’t leave you.”
“You will be much better if you cry,” Liam said gently.
Drops of tears wet the clothes on Liam’s chest. Susie didn’t cry sadly, but this dull cry was more heart-wrenching.
In fact, Susie was not a particularly strong person. She had been spoiled and spoiled by her parents in the past, but after her parents left, she had to grow up quickly because she knew that no one would feel sorry for her even if she cried.
She didn’t want to show her weakness to others. If she did that, what else could she get other than a sympathetic look?
Susie told herself to be strong, but sometimes it was really hard for her to do that. She really wanted to throw herself into someone’s arms and cry for no reason.
Susie seemed to hear the sound of his heart beating in Liam’s arms. It was steady and Edward…
She wiped her tears, looked at Liam with tears in her eyes, and said, “Thank you.”
Looking at her, Liam felt that she was really like a confused little rabbit. If he wanted to thank her, he should be the one thanking Susie. If it weren’t for her, how could she have Liam’s second life?
If Susie hadn’t been there at that time, he would have died on the beach. By the time others found him, he was already a corpse.
“Silly girl,” Liam said. He did not know how gentle his eyes were.
Susie’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at Liam. She didn’t dare to look Liam in the eye and quickly turned her head.
“I didn’t cry just now. The wind was too strong at night, and I was blinded by the sand just now.” Susie explained with some force.
The child could tell that she was lying, let alone Liam.
“Well, you didn’t cry just now. Your eyes were just fascinated by the sand, which made my clothes wet.” Liam echoed and pointed to the place where his chest was wet with tears.
“Hmph.” Susie decided not to lower herself to his level.
“Let’s go home and have a rest. You were also tortured by that woman today.” Liam took Susie’s hand and strode forward.
Before Susie could recover her senses, he had already held her hand and led her away. Looking at the two of them holding hands, she twitched and did not pull them back… “Forget it, it’s just a hand. It’s nothing, there’s no need to make such a fuss.”
