Sitting in the car again, open the laptop, see the screen “successful transmission” when the words, finally reveal a smile of satisfaction.
Then he picked up his phone and dialed the number of the gold owner.
The voice on the other side was a little strange, but he was so focused on the money he was about to receive that he didn’t give it a second thought.
“Miller, the ‘family of four’ lovey-dovey photos are now stored in my computer. As soon as the funds are available on your side, the photos will be delivered to you.”
“Okay …” Marisa Miller’s voice trembled.
The man was vaguely aware of something, and before he could respond, the other party had already hung up.
“What are you doing?”
Looking toward the phone on the floor, Marisa Darcyfeigned exasperation.
Devin wrenched her face with one hand and moved it closer to her lips, lowering his voice: “With me and taking calls from other men, Ms. Miller, please focus.”
“Nasty!”
Marisa Darcyslapped him lightly on the chest, and then smiled delicately and pressed herself to him …
For several days in a row, Alex Brown’ get up and stay was at the Wright Family.
Emma Rosy and Keira are delighted that he has not left, and Joe Wright is slightly relieved, except for Master Wright, who remains nonchalant.
Of course, Master Wright has decided not to stop his contact with Emma Rosy, so he will not make such actions as the eviction order, but when he greeted at the dinner table, or when he happened to run into him at home to smile politely, Master Wright is always a cold face.
But looking at Alex Brown three happy and happy, Joe Wright is busy with business all day, seems to paralyze himself with work, Master Wright heart is very unpleasant, he again after dinner directly into the study, then slowly followed in.
“Grandpa!”
Joe Wright was so engrossed in his computer that he didn’t even hear the door open, and only got up awkwardly when Master Wright walked up to his desk.
Master Wright was unaware of his panic: “You’re busy every day, how can you ever finish your work? We haven’t played chess for a long time, let’s play.”
At the end of the game, the winner was decided.
“I lost.” Joe Wright smiled bitterly.
While Joe Wright was sorting out the pieces, Master Wright picked up his cup of tea and took a slow sip, his eyes always falling on his face.
The young boy of the beginning has long grown up and become a man of the world.
He sighed inaudibly and suddenly said, “You’re not young anymore, so it’s time to put a date on the agenda.”
Joe Wright’s hand stiffened, then returned to normal, deliberately joking: “In front of grandpa, I will always be a child, and I still want to spend a few more years with you.”
Master Wright understood his heart, only waved his hand and retorted, “What’s the point of being at home with Grandpa?”
Joe Wright helplessly pulled the corner of his lips, secretly thinking that grandpa suddenly came here, really not just to play chess, it seems that the ultimate purpose is to promote marriage.
It was a pity that his heart was as dead as water, and he was afraid that he would have to disappoint his grandfather’s expectations.
Seeing that he did not say anything, Master Wright said: “A few days ago, I attended a cocktail party and had a good conversation with a young man, I heard that he has a sister, similar in age to you. I think that girl should be good, you …”
“Grandpa.” Joe Wright looked up at him, with a smile on his face, but his expression was a few hints of wretchedness: “The company is in the development period, the times are tense, I am fully busy with work, I’m afraid there is no extra energy to run a relationship, so.”
The company is busy, where Emma Rosy needs help, he will always be the first to appear, which is an excuse.
It’s not fair to the girl to force him to fall in love and get married.
“In that case, as you wish.”
Master Wright sighed and was a little distracted for the rest of the game. joe Wright looked on, but could only play dumb with it.
Outside the study door, Keira, holding a strawberry for her great-grandfather and father in each hand, turned around with tears in her eyes and walked back to Emma Rosy, who was watching the sunset in the courtyard, and burst into tears.
It was already dark and Keira’s footsteps were light, so when she suddenly heard the crying, Emma Rosy was startled and took her into his arms.
“What’s wrong Keira, aren’t you going to eat strawberries with your dad? Didn’t find anyone?”
“Daddy doesn’t want me … great grandfather … great grandfather gave him to another … other aunt …”
Keira sobbed and wiped her tears, it took her a long time to tell the general story, Emma Rosy listened, but agreed with Master Wright’s approach.
After soothing Keira, she sent a text message to Joe Wright, filled with guilt.
–Brother, I heard that Grandpa wants to arrange a blind date for you, but actually a blind date is a process of making friends, it doesn’t mean that there must be any result. I know I’m not qualified, but I still want to advise you to try and give yourself and the other person a chance.
After the text message was sent, no response was received for a long time.
Emma Rosy read the content of the text message over and over again several times, fearing that she had used the wrong words and hurt Joe Wright’s heart, and finally simply ran upstairs to find someone.
The lights were off in the study and no one was in the bedroom, so after running up and down a few times, she finally found him on the third floor balcony.
He put down his work and drank alone here, I think Master Wright’s words just now touched him a lot.
“Brother.”
Emma Rosy approached and sat down on the ground like him, picking up a can of beer, which was snatched away before it could be opened.
Joe Wright was full of disapproval: “Drinking when you’re not well, I’ll tell Grandpa.”
Emma Rosy looked into the vast starry sky in the distance and asked directly, “Grandpa advised you to go on a blind date and put you in a bad mood?”
Seeing Joe Wright’s surprised face, obviously not seeing the text message, she curled her lips and explained, “Keira was bringing you strawberries and happened to overhear you talking to Grandpa.”
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, Joe Wright silent for a long time, perhaps afraid of her burden, slightly rigidly said: “I am too busy with work, do not consider marriage for the time being, this has nothing to do with you, do not worry about it.”
But unlike Keira, Emma Rosy can’t be easily dismissed.
“Even if you don’t get married, you have to have a partner. If you don’t hurry now, where are you going to find me a sister-in-law when you want to get married in the future?”
How ridiculous, his former fiancée advised him to try a new relationship. Since there is no more possibility of his wishes being fulfilled, simply reassure them.
“Okay, the girl that grandpa said, I will go to meet.”
Upon hearing this, Emma Rosy finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Unbeknownst to her, Joe Wright, who was quietly observing her, was full of pain and torment in his heart when he saw her slightly relaxed smile.
The next day.
Alex Brown keeps his promise to Keira to take her and Emma Rosy out. Joe Wright was in on the plan, but Master Wright has arranged a blind date for him.
He has to promise Keira that he will be there afterwards, and then takes a car to the date.
An elegant cafe would have been the best choice for a first meeting, but unfortunately he had no expectations of the date to come, and was naturally indifferent to the environment.
Half an hour had passed and the other party still hadn’t shown up. He always hated people with a poor sense of time, so he finally raised his hand to check his watch and decided to leave.
Who knew that just as he was about to get up, the glass door was pushed open, and in the reflected light, a slender woman approached slowly …
Due to Keira’s horrible experience of being kidnapped in the amusement park, Alex Brown sent Eric Chan to draw up a plan for this trip a few days in advance.
Eric Chan had to travel around while working, and finally found an indoor playground that met the boss’s various tricky conditions.
When Alex Brown arrived with Emma Rosy and her daughter, Eric Chan had already booked the playground and was waiting for them with his camera.
Although the playground did not have the natural atmosphere of the outdoors or the lively atmosphere, the children were still happy. As for the shadow of the last time, it seems to have faded away in her mind.
After changing her shoes, she rushed to the trampoline, pulling Emma Rosy with her and waving back at Alex Brown: “Come on, Daddy, I can jump so high!”
Alex Brown smiled and nodded, and before walking over, he called Eric Chan to his side: “Remember to take lots of pictures, especially of Emma and Keira.”
What will happen when he goes abroad for treatment is still unknown, but if his life is coming to an end, it will be a comfort to see his wife and daughter’s photos when he is dying.
Eric Chan felt that his thoughts were too pessimistic and tried to persuade him, but he opened and closed his lips and gave up because the same conversation had been repeated many times and Alex Brown was not listening to it.
“No problem, Mr. Brown, don’t worry!”
He held up his camera and told Alex Brown to get in the picture.
The most unusual game was played by the family, but the laughter was instantly captured in a photo.
At the same time, Joe Wright was on a date with his “blind date”.
