” absence makes the heart grow fonder.”
I glared at her: “Shirley, stop teasing me!”
“Hey hey, sister Irene, you are shy.”
As soon as we walked out of the teaching building, we saw a man holding a bunch of roses standing in the open space, searching in the crowd as if looking for something, either to pick up his girlfriend or to confess.
Shirley Hunt wants to fall in love very much now, and then she says admiringly, “Whenn can I meet someone who confesses to me? If I am easy to chase!”
I smiled and looked at myself. “Shirley, do you love marriage too much?”
“It’s all because of you, showing your love too mee every day.”
“Huh? Is that boy coming towards us? Looking at me or looking at you?”
When I heard this, I turned my eyes and met eyes with the boy.
The man looks estimated to be 1. 7 meters, quite sunny and handsome, he has a good taste in dressing, fashionable and adorable.
Just as Shirley Hunt and I were puzzled, the man stood in front of me impartially, which also attracted the onlookers .
“Irene.” At this time, the boys laughed shyly and called my name.
Irene Nadine’s pov
I suddenly lost my mind. I never thought that the person he was looking for would be me.
I have some impression of this boy, but not profound. It seems that he was from the same department and we met in art class.
After the boy stopped me, I looked behind him again, some others who cheered him up in the crowd.
“Irene, I liked you from the first time I saw you, and I have observed for a long time. It took a long time to prepare psychologically before I decided to confess to you. Let’s go together in the future? Are you willing?”
Although I am married and pregnant, I am only 20, after all. Besides, I have not been publicly been confessed with so many people around. Now my heart is not beating fast, but my mind is blank.
I’m somewhat, frightened, and don’t know how to react.
Shirley Hunt just pushed me gently with his elbow behind his back to signal me to say something. It was only then that I came to my senses, swallowed my saliva, reached out and pushed away the bouquet in front of me, and said, “That… classmate, I can’t accept you.”
The boy twisted his eyebrows: “What’s the matter? Do you think it’s too fast? We can try to get along first, and accept the flowers first.”
“Not… that I… I.” My voice became smaller and smaller, and only the three of them could hear it. “I’m married. I’m sorry.”
The boy was obviously surprised, then put on a look of disbelief, and then smiled and said, “It’s impossible Irene. I didn’t even see you coming into contact with any boys. Even if you refuse me, you don’t have to make up such an abusurd reason. I just like you. You don’t have to be so afraid.”
“I’m not lying to you. I’m really married, I… I’m pregnant, and the baby is almost six months old.” I don’t really want to tell this secret, but I don’t know what reason I can refuse this boy, because I can see that this boy is sincere.
After saying this, the boy froze and looked down at her lower abdomen.
Seeing that I was not lying to him, the boy felt embarrassed and scratched his head: “Sorry, excuse me!” And then ran away.
At noon, I thought Ryan Campbell was too busy to find me. I planned to go to the school canteen with Shirley Hunt for lunch, but I didn’t expect to receive a phone call from Jeffrey Scott: “Sister-in-law, Ryan asked you to have dinner with him at noon and sent me to pick you up. Come to the school gate.”
“… oh, what about him?” He didn’t pick it up me in person, and I was a little upset.
“Ryan is still in the meeting, so he has to delay for a while and go directly to the restaurant later.”
Without asking him more about his situation, I cleaned up and went out of school.
Sitting in the car, I looked out of the window in a daze and suddenly asked, “What have you done these days?”
Jeffrey Scott was dazed, thought his sister-in-law checking Ryan’s whereabouts?
Naturally, he won’t talk indiscriminately. Besides, Ryan has never been a frivolous person outside. “He has been dealing with work in Russia.”
“Just the two of you?”
“There are also other team members of the company, all colleagues.”
I sipped my lips, looked out the window, and I didn’t continue to ask.
I’m satisfied with the answer, but I don’t know if what Jeffrey Scott said is true or not. After all, he is Ryan Campbell’s man.
After driving for a few minutes, the car stopped at the restaurant. “Sister-in-law, please wait here for a while. Ryan should arrive soon. Please order first.”
“Do you want to eat together?”
“No, no, I have already eaten. Now I have to pick up Ryan, so I won’t accompany you.”
I ordered a dish and a soup. All what I wanted. I didn’t order for Ryan Campbell’. I don’t know what he likes.
I was still hesitating whether I should eat first or wait for him, and I was hesitating, but he appeared at the door of the restaurant.
I haven’t seen you him half a month, he had lost some weight and was a little sleepy as if he was really tired.
Ryan Campbell quickly found me and went straight to take a seat opposite . “Have you washed your hands?”
My hand paused and then said, “I washed it.”
He doesn’t know whether I washed it or not. I think it’s troublesome.
Instead, Ryan Campbell grabbed my hand, twisted it around, asked me to look at the back of my hand, and said, “There is still paint. You told me you washed it?”
I glanced at it and insisted, “This one can’t be washed off.”
Ryan Campbell stared at me and said, “Go and wash it !”
I looked at him discontentedly and stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
When I came back, he looked at the dishes on the table again and said, “Just ordered two?”
“Well, yhat else you want to eat. In fact, it is enough to eat.”
He didn’t say anything, he picked up the dish menu and ordered a few meat dishes directly from the waiter.
