“Nothing…”
Elio finally felt relieved. He didn’t know that Millicent not only called his family, but also Irene’s family. The nanny had told Millicent everything.
Millicent was not a fool. Thinking of what the nanny and Jennifer said, and Elio’s character, she knew everything.
However, she didn’t understand why Elio was lying to her. Did he really have some unspeakable secrets with Irene? Millicent’s expression darkened instantly, and she was no longer as innocent and lovely as before.
She covered the place where her heart was… It really hurt.
He didn’t know that it was really painful here. He definitely didn’t know. Ha… because he had always cared about only one person! She was actually not greedy. As long as he was willing to pay a little attention to her, it would be fine, but he had never cared about her!
Elio was focused on driving. He didn’t notice the difference in Millicent’s expression, nor did he notice Millicent’s expression.
“Elio, you came to the hospital early today to visit Irene.” Millicent looked at the scenery outside the window and pretended to be indifferent.
Elio’s heart tightened, and his face looked a little unnatural. He turned around and found that Millicent was looking out of the window attentively.
“There’s nothing to do in the company, so I went there early.”
“Oh.”
Millicent dragged out the answer in a long voice, with some unclear meaning.
“Millicent, there is a new cafe nearby. I’ll take you there. You must like the taste there very much.” Elio felt that the atmosphere in the car was a little dull, so he wanted to skip this topic and said.
“Okay,” Millicent said happily. She clenched her hands tightly. Her nails, which had just been trimmed, were embedded in her flesh, leaving blood stains. However, Millicent did not feel any pain.
Compared with the pain in his heart, what was this in his hand?! Elio, she had given him a chance. Why did he treat her like this?
Millicent felt extremely painful and guilty at the same time. Her heart was being torn apart. She didn’t know what to do…
…
These days, Liam was a little mysterious and always went out early and returned late. Susie was a little curious and asked him but he didn’t say anything.
“Liam, what have you been doing these days?”
“Nothing, just go out and stroll around.”
Susie knew that Liam didn’t like to go out very much. Why did he change his character these days? But it was okay for him to be happy. Anyway, as an adult, was he afraid of losing him?
At this moment, Yilia suddenly called.
“Hello, Susie?” Yilia’s straightforward voice came through the phone.
Yilia, what can I do for you?
“Bastian and Eva will be engaged in a few more days. Will you go?”
Susie suddenly remembered what Eva had said to her before she left the gathering. She had never taken it to heart. If Yilia hadn’t told her, she would have forgotten about it.
“Of course not. I’m not familiar with her.”
Susie was not a person who liked to join in the fun, so she refused decisively. Besides, she had no interest in attending her ex-boyfriend’s wedding. Wasn’t that making her feel uncomfortable?
Even if she could not bear other people’s nonsense, she would stay away from trouble if she could.
“I knew that given your character, you wouldn’t go, but you don’t know that Eva. I really don’t understand her brain. She said in the group chat that you would go. She said that if you agreed, there would be many students in the group who would go.”
Susie couldn’t help but frown. Why did this woman have to show off in front of her? Couldn’t she let her go?
“Let her be.” Susie sighed helplessly.
“That’s not possible. She must have been angry at the last class reunion, so she wanted to save face this time. She didn’t want to see you live a good life. I really don’t know what made Bastian think of her. He must be blind!” Yilia became angrier and angrier.
“If you don’t go, wouldn’t that make you feel guilty and timid? We have to go! Susie has made up her mind. You have to dress up beautifully and piss off Eva so that Bastian will know what he missed!”
As soon as she finished speaking, before Susie could come to her senses, Yilia hung up the phone in a hurry.
“This little Yilia is really…” Susie smiled helplessly.
She didn’t like to join in the fun. On the contrary, Yilia’er had a lively and active character. She could join in wherever she wanted to.
Back then, because of Eva’s secret tricks, Yilia and Eva had been very anxious. If she hadn’t pulled them a few times, they would have gotten into a fight.
Liam also heard their conversation.
“Do you want to go?”
“Yes, if she doesn’t go, Yilia will drag me there. Even nine bulls can’t pull back her decision.”
“If you decided to do it, you might not even be able to pull back ten bulls.” Liam said with a smile.
“Then you really know me very well.” Susie couldn’t help rolling her eyes. Looking at Susie like this, Liam rubbed her head with a funny smile.
As soon as he hung up the phone, another phone rang.
“You are really a busy person.” Liam said with a smile.
When Susie saw that it was an unfamiliar number, she hesitated for a moment before picking it up. However, her phone kept ringing, as if it wouldn’t hang up if the owner didn’t answer.
“Hello, hello?” Susie said, but the other person on the other end of the phone did not speak. Susie was about to hang up.
“It’s me, Susie.”
Susie was a little surprised. It was Bastian… How did he know her number? On second thought, she remembered that there were so many students in her class, and some of them were good enough to know her number. It would not be surprising if Bastian learned about it from them.
“What’s the matter?” Susie asked in a foreign and polite manner.
“I… I want to ask you if you will be here on the day of my engagement?” Bastian asked nervously. He had mixed feelings in his heart, so he hoped that Susie would go, but he didn’t want to.
“Yes.”
Susie felt a little strange. It was one thing for Eva, but Bastian was also so concerned about whether she would go to the wedding.
“Oh,” Bastian replied dryly when he heard Susie’s uncertain answer. He really didn’t know what to say in front of Susie. In fact, there was nothing to say, but he wanted to hear Susie’s voice.
“I’ll hang up if there’s nothing else.”
Susie felt that Bastian was really strange, but she didn’t want to ask more. After all, both of them were in the past. Now that Bastian was about to get engaged, she had better avoid suspicion.
Needless to say, there was nothing to talk about between Bastian and her. Ever since that incident happened, she and Bastian could only be passers-by and could not even be friends. Given Eva’s character, if he knew that Bastian had a relationship with her or even a friend, he might not know what he would do.
When Bastian heard the busy voice coming from the other side, he knew that Susie had already hung up the phone. He felt a little lost.
“Who are you calling?”
A charming voice asked. At the same time, a pair of bright-colored hands appeared behind Bastian and hugged Bastian’s strong waist.
It turned out to be Eva. At this moment, she was weakly clinging to Bastian like a snake.
Bastian suddenly stood up, causing Eva, who was caught off guard, to almost fall. Fortunately, she managed to stabilize her body so that she wouldn’t fall to the ground.
Eva almost pointed at Bastian’s nose and scolded him for being incomprehensible, but she didn’t. She knew that it would only push Bastian further.
“Nothing, just a friend,” Bastian said lightly.
“Which friend?” Eva covered the look in his eyes and asked coyly.
“Why do you ask so many questions?” Bastian did not answer. He frowned and said unhappily.
“I just want to be more concerned about you.” Eva sneered in his heart, but he didn’t show any change in his expression. She had already seen it from the back just now! The person who called her was clearly “Susie”!
Didn’t he promise her that he wouldn’t contact Susie in private? At this moment, Eva really wanted to question her.
The more disguised Bastian was, the more Eva was certain that there must be something going on between him and Susie. Susie was definitely unwilling to give up. She had snatched Bastian away from her back then, and now that she wanted to get revenge, she had come to hook up with Bastian!
“Well done, Susie. You want to start a relationship with Bastian again? With Eva around, you won’t even have a chance!”
“You deliberately targeted Susie at the last class reunion,” Bastian said with a seemingly unintentional look.
“I didn’t mean to target her.”
Eva was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Susie must have spoken ill of her in front of Bastian. If he hadn’t looked at her all night, would she have gone to find Susie and make her uncomfortable?
Susie was obviously asking for it. Since she still had the face to come and complain!
“A discerning person can see that. Don’t be like this next time. After all, we are classmates. It’s not good to be in a deadlock.”
Bastian and Eva had been together for so long, so he knew Eva’s character. If he told Eva not to make things difficult for Susie, who knew what she would think and what she would do in private.
He hoped that his words would make Eva restrain himself a little and stop deliberately targeting Susie.
“Alright, alright, you’ve already said that…” Seeing that Bastian was so protective of Susie, Eva was so angry that he was about to go crazy. What kind of ecstasy soup had Susie fed him that he still couldn’t forget her?
“I still have something to deal with at the hotel. I’ll deal with it first.” Bastian said as he left.
Eva looked at Bastian’s retreating figure and no longer hid his malicious expression.
“That b*tch Susie, I was the one who managed to win Bastian’s heart back then. Now that I’m about to get engaged to Bastian, Susie has the nerve to seduce a married man. How shameless! Don’t you know what you’re capable of even if you want to be a mistress?” Eva said through gritted teeth.
In fact, she knew very well what tricks Eva had played to get Bastian. No matter how well she said it, it couldn’t hide the truth. Susie didn’t know, but Bastian knew everything.
