“Sister-in-law, aren’t you going home?” Sophia, who was sitting in the back seat, lay her hands on the window and looked at her with her big eyes flickering.
Lacey frowned and said, “Stop shouting like that!”
“Where are you going? Why don’t you go home?” She blew her hair and looked aggrieved. “Can we go home together? My brother will only come back tomorrow on a business trip. Who will pick you up?”
“You go back first. I have something to do!” Lacey said and said to the driver, “Send the young lady back.”
“Wait!” Sophia said hurriedly. Then she frowned and said, “Are you going out to meet someone else?”
Lacey frowned and couldn’t help stepping forward. She tapped her forehead gently and said, “Can’t your brain be a little cleaner? What are you thinking about?”
“Then where are you going… Can you take me there?”
“It’s my good friend’s birthday, so it’s not convenient for me to take you there. Stop fooling around. Go back quickly!” Lacey was a little confused. Was this Sophia?
Seeing this, Sophia nodded and said, “Okay, come back early tonight.”
“Got it.”
Seeing this, Sophia reluctantly agreed.
After seeing Sophia off, Lacey heaved a sigh of relief.
However, she picked up her phone and looked at the message on it. She was a little hesitant.
Today was Alina’s birthday.
It was held in a restaurant today.
Moreover, Alina also invited many former classmates and friends.
Among them, there was Hank…
[Sister Restaurant, start at six o’clock on time. Remember not to be late. Alina, who loves you, come on!
After glancing at the message again, Lacey put the phone away, waved her hand, and stopped a taxi to go to the Sister Hotel.
At 5:50 am.
Lacey arrived at the hotel.
Alina looked around at the door early in the morning. As soon as he saw Lacey, he immediately approached her.
“Why did you come so late? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
I’m sorry for the traffic jam.” Lacey was a little apologetic. She handed the gift box in her hand to her and said, “Happy birthday, my big baby!
Alina picked it up and saw that it was a set of hand-made work of the king of the Qing dynasty.
Then, her eyes lit up. She immediately hugged her and kissed her cheek. “It’s my Lacey who knows what I like!”
Lacey was happy to see her as happy as a child.
Alina didn’t have much hobby. He didn’t like name brands or gold.
She only liked animation, such as the One Piece, the Naruto, and so on.
In fact, Lacey had always hoped that she could keep this child’s heart, so that she could be carefree.
“Hurry up, everyone is waiting for you!” Alina hurriedly pulled her in.
Today, the Fang family invited a lot of people to hold four tables, hoping that Alina’s 20th birthday would be more lively.
“Come, sit here.” Alina pulled her and pressed her directly on the empty seat next to Hank.
As soon as Lacey sat down, she felt a little embarrassed.
“It’s coming!” Hank’s gentle voice sounded.
Lacey nodded but didn’t say anything.
“Mom, Dad, everyone is here. It’s time to serve the dishes!” Yang Yang was still as swift as ever as he roared.
The waiter on the other side began to serve the dishes as soon as he heard it.
Most of the friends at this table were from Klosa and they were familiar with each other.
They did not ask about the storm that happened to Lacey in South City, as if they were talking and laughing like before.
Seeing them, Lacey felt much better.
Therefore, everyone naturally talked about some previous topics.
After a while.
“Let’s go to karaoke after dinner!” Alina stood up in a hurry. “We haven’t been together for a long time. We have to enjoy ourselves tonight!”
The students at the table naturally had no objection.
Lacey had been drinking quietly at the table in order not to talk to Hank.
What Alina was talking about, she could not hear clearly. Before she could react, she was pulled into the car by everyone.
When she responded, she was already sitting in a big private room.
In front of her, there was once again a pile of beer.
Alina, who was in a good mood today, took his classmates to choose songs immediately.
The other students began to sing with the microphone.
There were also a few who had already started to play dice.
Lacey sat on the side, and a classmate handed her a bottle of beer.
“Lacey, what are you doing sitting there? Drink.” As he spoke, the student immediately went to play the song with someone else.
On the extended sofa, Lacey was sitting in a corner, and Hank was sitting next to her.
Holding the bottle, Lacey did not know where to look.
“I still have a few days to go back to France…” Hank’s voice was a little sad.
Hearing this, Lacey was stunned and turned to look at him.
“Are you leaving?”
Hank looked at her and nodded. “Something happened in France. I have to go back and deal with it.”
“Oh.” Lacey picked up the wine and took a sip.
Hank smiled faintly and said in a somewhat helpless voice, “Actually, the main purpose of my return this time is to take you to France…”
“Cough, cough, cough.” These words were so sudden that Lacey choked on her wine.
“Are you okay?” Hank hurriedly reached out and patted her back. “Don’t drink anymore. Give it to me!”
“It’s okay. What does this little wine mean?” As she spoke, she picked it up and took another sip, but she was obviously in a bad state.
Was he leaving again?
The last time they left, it had been six years.
What about this time?
“Lacey…” He called her softly.
“What?” She drank too much, and her eyes were a little red. “Uh?”
“Come with me to France!” Hank finally couldn’t help saying it out loud.
Lacey looked at him in shock and forgot to react.
What did he say?
To France?
Seeing that she was in a daze, he looked at her and said seriously, “I came back for you. I don’t care about your marriage or everything about you. Lacey, come with me. Let’s start over again, okay?”
Lacey looked at her, her eyes flashing. “You, you drank too much…”
“Silly girl.” He reached out his hand and rubbed her head like when he was a child. “How can my drinking capacity be so bad?”
This habit made Lacey look up at him again.
He looked at her and smiled. Suddenly, he scraped her nose and said, “Your Brother Nianguang is back. He’s back to pick you up!”
Lacey’s eyes suddenly turned red, and a tear quietly fell down…
In the airport.
As soon as Sam got off the plane, a car drove over.
Asa immediately opened the back seat and got in the passenger seat.
“Mr. Garrison, please rest for a while,” Asa said hurriedly.
Sam agreed and closed his eyes to rest.
There was a hint of fatigue in his voice, as if he was already very tired just sitting in the car.
Three days ago, he went to Switzerland to sign a contract.
For the past three days, he had been so busy that he barely closed his eyes.
It was supposed to be a celebration party in Switzerland tonight, and the plane would arrive tomorrow morning.
However, he couldn’t wait any longer. He rejected the celebration banquet and hurried back.
On the plane, he was not idle. The company had something important to do in the past two days, and the company had sent him an email in the first place.
On the plane, he read several important e-mails and signed them.
In the past few days, it was the last step to purchase the financial company.
He had to keep a close watch on them, not a single step wrong.
When they were done with their work, the plane was about to land.
And his whole face was exhausted.
Asa didn’t dare to disturb him. He adjusted the temperature in the car to the most comfortable temperature so that he could rest for a little longer.
After an hour’s drive, they finally reached the Garrison family home.
Sam got out of the car and went straight to his home.
“Young Master!” The servants immediately shouted when they saw her.
“Hey, why are you back, Chen Sammy?” Tilly was a little surprised to see him come back suddenly. “Aren’t you coming back tomorrow?”
“It’s done. I came back early. Where’s Dad?”
“Your father is practicing calligraphy in the study. Have you eaten yet? I asked the kitchen to prepare food for you.”
“Mom, where’s Lacey?” Sam looked around but didn’t see her.
The smile on Tillys face froze. She rolled her eyes and said, “Who knows?”
“Brother!” Sophia had just heard the voice when she walked out and shouted from upstairs.
Sam looked at her with a doting smile and said, “Come down. I bought you a gift!”
Sophia smiled and walked down.
After returning from school, she had been crying in her room.
She cried for two whole hours.
Finally, she broke down.
Lacey was right. She was so good that she could meet someone better!
Soon, Sophia arrived in front of him and said, “Brother!”
Sam looked at her and suddenly frowned. “Are you crying?”
Sophia’s eyes flickered as she said, “I, I want to see Korean drama. Cry!”
“Fool!” As he spoke, Sam handed her an exquisite gift box. “You and her alone. Do you like it?”
“Is this sister-in-law?”
Sam was stunned. He looked at her and asked, “Sister-in-law?”
“That’s right, Lacey. She’s your wife and my sister-in-law, isn’t she?” She smiled. “Let me take a look. Ah, we’re on the same brand. These two bags are both good. I like them!”
Sam suddenly became curious and couldn’t help smiling. “How did she tame you?”
Sophia’s hand, which was holding the bag, paused for a moment. Then, she raised her eyebrows and said, “What? What bribe? She married you. I love everything!”
Sam didn’t ask any more questions, but when he saw that she had accepted Lacey, he was happy.
“Did you see Lacey?”
“She went to attend her classmate’s birthday.”
“Boy’s birthday?”
“Yes, but what kind of classmate does she have? She has just come to South City. It seems that she doesn’t have a good relationship with her classmates. Then…” He frowned. “Could it be some friend in Klosa celebrating her birthday?”
Hearing Sophia’s words, Sam’s frown deepened.
A friend of Klosa!
Hank was born in Klosa!
The next second, the man walked out with a frown.
“Hey, where are you going, Chen Sammy? The kitchen has begun to cook for you.” As soon as Tilly came out, she saw Sam walking out. “Where is your brother?”
Sophia thought for a moment and said, “Maybe he’s going to pick up his wife?”
Seeing this, Tillys eyes turned cold. She immediately picked up her phone and dialed a number.
“Hey, Lillianna, when will you come back?” Tilly muttered, “I miss you so much. Have you forgotten me? Huh? What? Are you in South City?”
