Although he had no idea of going out with Eva Taylor, it was better for the girl to refuse first for something like a blind date. After exchanging phone numbers, They could continue to chat and be friends.
Joe Wright’s customary gentlemanly style was a pleasant surprise to Eva Taylor.
She hastily gave out her number, and then also cautiously asked, “Didn’t they give you their number when they set up the blind date?”
Carefully recalled, Master Wright late at night to the bedroom to inform him of the date time and place, it seems that also incidentally said a string of numbers, he said at the time to remember, turned his head and fell back to sleep on the pillow.
“Maybe … my grandfather forgot.” Joe Wright did not blush to put the blame on Master Wright.
Eva Taylor does not understand the situation, actually showed approval: “I will visit him later when I have the chance”
With that, They said goodbye in front of the cafe.
Master Wright, half an hour later, received a call back from the woman’s brother.
“Eva was very impressed with Mr. Wright, and I’ve honestly never seen her speak so highly of any member of the opposite sex.”
Master Wright was beaming and agreed with Eva Taylor’s brother to keep trying, hanging up the phone, but still feeling uneasy.
He decided to start with the driver who sent Joe Wright on his date.
The driver accepted Master Wright’s order before the trip, and has been observing Joe Wright outside the cafe, so he couldn’t hear the specific conversation, but he understood the overall atmosphere.
Hearing that Marisa Darcyhad shown up before the date, Master Wright’s heart sank straight down.
“What’s she up to again? What was Joe’s mood after talking to her?”
The driver recalled for a moment and shook his head cautiously.
At that time, Joe Wright was nearly enraged, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, it would be strange to be happy.
“It’s over! Completely finished!”
Master Wright sighed a few times, and leaned back into the sofa in anger and helplessness.
However, Joe Wright, outside the playground door, does not yet know his grandfather’s rugged journey.
Isn’t it the most ordinary and sweetest family life, with all the laughter and bickering?
They are a family, and he?
With a sour feeling in his heart, Joe Wright lowered his eyes for a moment, then turned back to the car, ready to wait for them to finish and pretend he had just arrived.
In the restaurant, Keira finished her cherries and ate two more strawberries with the help of Alex Brown, and with her empty stomach feeling better, she began to look around for someone.
Ever since she overheard last night that Master Wright is arranging a blind date for Joe Wright, Keira has been keeping an eye on Joe Wright’s movements.
Although her mom said that Joe’s dad is at the age when he should get married and will have his own family and children in the future, just like Alex’s dad, she still finds it hard to accept. That’s why before leaving home in the morning, she pulled Joe’s dad and didn’t let go, and got his promise, but her heart was still hanging on.
Just now, she had so much fun that she briefly forgot about it, and now that she was resting in the restaurant, she naturally remembered it again.
She looked around for a moment and found that there were unfamiliar faces all around her. She couldn’t help but worry that Joe’s father had been dating his date for so long that he would soon get married, have a cuter baby than her, and then not want her anymore.
The more she thinks about it, the sadder she gets, and finally she starts to shed tears silently.
Alex Brown and Emma Rosy were discussing their after-dinner itinerary. When they saw their daughter suddenly crying, they were both shocked.
“Papa Joe doesn’t want me anymore, he wants to have a little baby with another aunt … because I recognized Papa Alex, so he … he’s not happy is he …” Keira finished with a sob, and then covered her eyes and bawled.
Alex Brown hung his head slightly, his hand holding the spoon gradually tightened, his expression had self-recrimination, mixed with some kind of complex emotions.
Emma Rosy understood his feelings, so she took Keira to her lap and gently wiped her tears: “Don’t cry, baby, Daddy Joe will never abandon you. Mom said that while he loves you, he also has to live his own life, such as a wife and children, there is no conflict between They.”
“But he lied, he said he would come and stay with me, and he hasn’t come yet!”
Keira cried out. Emma Rosy couldn’t do anything about it and looked at her phone with hesitation.
Before she could consider it, Keira started another round of crying with a loud “wah”, so she gritted her teeth and dialed.
She gritted her teeth and dialed the number. She wanted to test Joe Wright to see if the date was over, but when he heard Keira’s cries and asked why, he rushed into the restaurant in less than two minutes.
“Daddy!”
A teary-eyed Keira finally saw her dad and jumped right off Emma Rosy and into his arms.
Keira finally stopped crying, but Joe Wright quietly got red in the eyes where no one could see.
As a bystander, Alex Brown, quietly watching this scene, suddenly some relief, because know that after he left, there is another man to give Keira fatherly love instead of himself.
The jealousy in his heart was firmly suppressed by his reasoning.
Due to Keira’s mood swings, the afternoon trip was cancelled, and after lunch, the four of them headed back home.
By the time they left the restaurant, Keira was asleep in Emma Rosy’s arms. To keep her company, Alex Brown got into Joe Wright’s car, and Eric Chan followed in his.
When his cell phone vibrated and he saw the text message from Eric Chan, his whole heart fell to the bottom.
–Mr. Brown, it’s time.
He needs to go home to organize his clothes and then rush to the company to hold a meeting before five o’clock, he must leave now.
“The company suddenly has something to do, I will change to the back of that car, you guys go home, no need to wait for me.”
He pretended to be relaxed, but the atmosphere inside the car was suddenly heavy.
Alex Brown reluctantly got out of the car, Emma Rosy carrying a sleeping Keira, just pretending not to notice anything.
Through the rear-view mirror, Joe Wright’s eyes followed his figure, and saw the car behind him, but not in the direction of the company, more sure of his suspicions.
After a long silence, he said politely, “There’s always too much to do in the adult world, and you can’t cry and laugh like Keira, but it’s good to look forward to the future.”
Emma Rosy turns her head to look out the window, not knowing when he will return, but still smiling.
