For one thing, Blanca Roach was in bad shape and didn’t have the heart to think about the detailed work, and then it was time for Alice to get her two-year-old vaccination and Blanca Roach wanted to be there.
So the next day, after arranging the daily work in the studio, Blanca Roach stayed at home and waited for the family doctor to give Alice her vaccination.
But the first person to arrive was not the doctor, but an uninvited guest.
In the living room, Winnie politely accepted the tea from the maid with both hands: “Thank you.”
The water-blue doll-neck chiffon half-sleeve with a pair of slim white pants, big waves of curly hair casually draped.
She really knows how to dress up, every time she appears she looks a little younger than the last time.
“Good Alice, have some more.”
Blanca Roach held a small bowl and coaxed Alice to eat sweet potato puree, which she loved in the past, but did not eat today.
It was only after mom coaxed her that she gave her face to eat two bites, and then she didn’t eat it.
“Take it down, forget it if you don’t eat it.”
Blanca Roach put the bowl down and took Alice from the maid’s arms.
“I envy you, a successful career and a beautiful family.” Winnie put down her cup of tea and moved from across the room to Blanca Roach’s side, trying to tease the child.
Only as soon as she got close, Alice fiercely tried to break away from her mother’s embrace.
“She’s afraid of babies.” Blanca Roach let go of the child and asked the maid to accompany Alice to her room.
Winnie looked at the little meatball’s back with envy in her eyes, “How cute.”
“Are you married?”
“Knotted.” Winnie harrumphed, with a few forced smiles.
“Huh?” Blanca Roach was quite surprised.
Married? That’s a clever use of “had”.
It seems Winnie is also a woman with a story.
To avoid embarrassment and not ask more questions, want to avoid the topic, Blanca Roach pushed the fruit plate, “eat fruit.”
Winnie pursed her lips face to maintain a smile, but it is very stiff, “car accident, my husband to protect me, he left, I was three months pregnant also miscarried, and I can not have children in the future.”
No wonder, her eyes were so envious when she saw Blanca Roach hugging Alice.
Blanca Roach frowned, couldn’t imagine Winnie had such an experience, she didn’t know what to say, just sighed.
“The world is unpredictable, God likes to play tricks on people, evil people do not die, but good people have to die innocently.”
Winnie lowered her eyes, a shadow fell on them, the words were meaningful.
Blanca Roach thought she was talking about her dead husband and didn’t think about it, but she didn’t notice the flash of hate in Winnie’s eyes when she looked at the picture of Matthew Grant and Blanca Roach on the table.
“Let’s not talk about it, we can’t talk about the past too often, it’s hard to think about it.”
A long breath, Winnie looked out the window, the heart still can not be dispersed the knot.
“Oh yeah, I brought you something.”
Winnie handed Blanca Roach the paper bag at her side, “I roughly eyeballed your measurements while I was in Thailand and made you a cheongsam.”
“Yo, come on let me see.”
It was really unexpected; Blanca Roach hadn’t met anyone who came up and treated you nicely like this, and the motivation was only something like adoring fondness, which just wasn’t sufficient.
But suspicion of Winnie in this moment. Slightly weakened layer.
Winnie to Blanca Roach made a black to gold thread embroidery improved cheongsam, a sense of high class.
Blanca Roach came to the floor mirror, the cheongsam to the body measurement, to Winnie another layer of admiration.
“The cheongsam is not a good look if it’s not wide or narrow or long or short, so don’t you dare tell the truth, did you measure me secretly?
“Aigoo, we are professionals after all.” Winnie also not modest, began to sell themselves.
