In the Black Blue Bistro.
Lacey looked at the man in front of her in a daze.
She wore a white shirt, a spotlessly clean suit, shiny hand-made leather shoes, and a straight hairstyle with soft hair.
However, his simple dressing set off his exceptionally clean, handsome, and bright temperament.
“Are you all right?” The man asked slowly. His voice was still familiar, clear and pleasant.
Lacey’s hands were twisted uneasily, and her eyes were somewhat evasive.
“I’m… very good!”
After a while, her voice slowly sounded.
Her cell phone rang for the third time.
“Don’t you need to pick it up?”
Lacey hurriedly picked up her phone. There was no name on it, only a string of numbers.
Then, she put her cell phone on the table in a muted tone.
Once again, she looked up at him.
This time, she no longer avoided her eyes.
Six years!
He had been gone for six years!
After six years of cultivation, he had matured.
The man in front of him was both familiar and strange.
For a moment, Lacey looked at him and forgot to react.
“Are you daydreaming again?” The man habitually reached out and tapped her forehead with his finger.
Lacey was stunned, and then she instinctively leaned back.
Her natural dodging action made Hank’s hand stand awkwardly in the air.
Lacey’s eyes flashed as she felt embarrassed.
“I, I’m sorry…”
“Buzz buzz buzz.”
After the phone vibrated, it rang again.
Lacey turned over the phone and found that it was still a familiar number.
“Sorry, I have something to do, I have to go first.” As she said this, she grabbed her mobile phone and stood up.
“You’re married, aren’t you?” Suddenly, Hank spoke.
Lacey suddenly froze.
“Does he treat you well?”
Lacey looked down at him and said with her lips trembling, “He treats me very well, thank you!”
“Alina said that you were pretending to be married?”
Lacey didn’t say anything, but she frowned.
“Alina has already told me that you had no choice but to marry him. You have your reasons. You don’t love him!”
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about…” He was about to leave.
However, Hank was quick-witted and quickly grabbed her wrist.
Lacey turned to look at his hand that was grabbing her wrist.
“Why didn’t you come to me? Didn’t I leave you a phone number? Why didn’t you call me once? Why did your number become blank?”
Hank asked.
Lacey was silent. When he left, they did leave a number for each other.
At that time, she was in a daze. She was very happy to see his confession, so she kept in touch with him.
Until one day, Hank’s mother’s voice came from her phone…
“Lacey, Hank won’t be back in the country in the future. Don’t contact him anymore!”
It was also because of this that she changed her number.
“I don’t even know about your mother’s death, nor do I know how many grievances you have suffered. Why aren’t you willing to look for me? I have always been here. You know, as long as you call me, I will return to your side!”
Lacey didn’t say anything. She only felt that her heart was filled with anxiety.
“Lacey, let me help you!” Hank said again, “Just like when you were a child!”
“Oh, what are you doing?”
Before Lacey could speak, a familiar male voice rang out.
Lacey was stunned and looked back. At the door, Sam’s face was gloomy, and his eyes were like ice needles, stabbing her.
The next second, the man came over. He looked at Hank, who was grabbing Lacey’s wrist, and his smile became even more ironic.
“This is…”
Hank looked at him and let go of his hand.
“Why didn’t you answer the phone? Huh?” Sam looked at Lacey, and his gloomy and oppressive eyes suddenly fell on her head.
When she felt depressed, the man wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms.
This action made Lacey reject him for no reason. She wanted to break free, but he grabbed her so tightly that she could not move at all.
“Why don’t you introduce me to your ‘friend’?” Sam grabbed her shoulder with great strength.
Lacey tilted her head and looked at him with a slight frown.
“Hello, my name is Hank. I’m Lacey’s… brother!” Hank took the initiative to reach out to greet him.
The man squinted his eyes, stared at him, and smiled faintly. “Brother?”
“Yes, she has been protecting her brother since she was a child! She will always protect her in the future!”
“From childhood to adulthood? My childhood sweetheart?” Sam said these words with a meaningful smile.
Hank’s face suddenly changed.
“Don’t be so nervous. I was just kidding,” Sam said with a smile on his lips. He turned his head to look at Lacey with a deep look in his eyes and said lightly, “Didn’t we agree to go back to our parents’ home together today? If we don’t go, Dad will be worried!”
With one sentence, the man had already announced his identity.
Because of this sentence, Hank’s eyes suddenly dimmed.
Seeing this, Lacey felt even more uncomfortable, so she quickly said, “Sorry, I have something to do, so I have to go first!”
With that, he grabbed his bag and ran out without waiting for Sam.
Sam looked at her back. She almost ran away, and her dark eyes became darker.
Then, he walked out as well.
Hank stood in front of the transparent window and watched the man grab Lacey’s hand and get into the luxury car.
For a long time, he only felt pain in his heart…
In the car.
“Who is he?” As soon as Sam got in the car, his voice became cold.
Lacey ignored him and looked out of the window.
“You’re not going to tell me?” Sam’s smile turned even colder. “Oh, then I’ll have to thoroughly investigate who he is!”
“Does he have anything to do with you?” Lacey looked back at him. “Why are you investigating him?”
“What am I doing? You said that he seduced my wife. What should I do? I’ll find someone to castrate him!” The man’s lips curled into a smile, and there was a deep sarcasm in the coldness, which made people shudder.
“How dare you!” Lacey retorted without hesitation.
And what she said irritated someone in the car.
“You’re so partial to him?” He suddenly put his hand on the seat next to her and covered her whole body. The blue veins on his forehead bulged. “Do you like him?”
Lacey did not move.
She looked at him coldly.
There was even a layer of undisguised hatred.
After staring at him for a while, she moved her lips and said in a low voice, “Mr. Garrison, don’t forget that we are just pretending to get married!”
Once again, she put this reality in front of her naked eyes.
“A fake marriage?”
She lifted her chin and looked at him with a cold smile. “I won’t ask you about any private life. If you have a lot of mistress, you are tired of it. If you need me to handle it, I can serve you and not charge you a penny, so… let me go, huh?”
“A lot of mistress?”
Ha, how much did this heartless woman despise him?
Sam suddenly smiled. He leaned over and got close to her face. His breath was sprayed on her nose. His low and hoarse voice was filled with a faint smile. “Who told you that this is a fake marriage? Uh?”
“What do you mean?”
Lacey did not move, but her frown deepened.
“Since you’ve married me, you can forget about leaving this life! If I find out that you’re meeting him alone, I’ll kill him!”
This sentence was obviously a deep warning.
Lacey was shocked. She hurriedly pushed his chest and looked straight into his eyes. She could not believe it. “Are you crazy?”
The man raised her chin with his long fingers and said with a sneer, “Do I need to try something crazier?”
Before she could react.
The man grabbed her chin and kissed her on the lips crazily with slight punishment.
“Uh-huh…” Lacey came to her senses and was about to push him away.
However, the man was so strong that he pressed her deeply into the passenger seat and kissed her, so strong that she could not move at all.
It wasn’t until he realized that the woman’s breathing was getting harder and harder that he reluctantly let go of her lips.
“Shameless!” Lacey slapped him without thinking.
The man held her hand in mid-air, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his arms.
Immediately, his cold face became gloomy, and his cold voice came out of his mouth, “Don’t let me see you showing an expression that you shouldn’t have, otherwise… you should know what will happen!”
Lacey frowned and wanted to withdraw her hand, but he held it tightly.
“You’re Mrs. Garrison, my wife!” The man reminded her once.
Lacey didn’t say anything, but her eyes were colder than before.
After a while, the man finally let go of her wrist.
He stepped on the accelerator.
Then, he left the car.
–
The Carter family.
When they returned to the Carter family, Bailey had already ordered someone to prepare a table of dishes.
Although he was particularly dissatisfied with Lacey’s marriage to Sam.
But according to the tone of Lillianna when she came back, Sam should not divorce her.
In that case, he would naturally make good use of it. No matter which daughter married him, as long as it could bring him benefits.
“Second Miss is back. Nice to meet you, Young Master!” Aunty Mya immediately bowed with a smile, as respectful as she could be.
“Lacey is back?” Bailey heard the voice and hurried out with a smile.
“Dad,” Sam called with a smile.
However, Lacey didn’t say anything. It seemed that she didn’t even want to give him a look.
Bailey looked at Lacey and didn’t call him, feeling a little embarrassed.
“Lacey is back!” Madeleine also hurried over. “The son-in-law is here. Come on, come in. We’ve been preparing for you since we heard that you’re coming!”
Bailey hurried forward and began to talk to Sam.
Seeing this, Madeleine immediately took Lacey’s arm and whispered, “Lacey, are you feeling better? I’ve always wanted to see you, but recently it’s inconvenient for me to catch a cold. I’m afraid that I’ll be infected with you!”
It was hard to believe that this was the stepmother who called her a vixen a week ago!
The corners of Lacey’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
As expected, living with someone would lead to what it would look like.
The four words, “The song is meant to be welcomed” were really and vividly performed by them!
