I love you just as you love Sister Myrna . You can’t get her, and I can’t get you either.”
“So, if you ask me what I want, I just want a chance to stay with you.”
The girl’s voice was soft, there was sincerity in her eyes, and obvious … humility.
Ansel felt as if something had plucked the string in his heart: “Don’t worry, I will take good care of you in the future and will never let you get hurt again.”
Susie curled her lips, lay in his arms, held his waist tightly with her hands, and said in a voice as sweet as honey: “I know, I have always believed so.”
Ansel ‘s arms around her tightened.
But I feel an indescribable depression in my heart.
The reason is unknown.
…
Such a big accident occurred at the event site, and the hotel staff came to clean up the mess as quickly as possible.
Because personal safety was involved, the person in charge called the police directly.
That night, the police came and questioned all the relevant personnel.
As expected, nothing was revealed and in the end the incident could only be attributed to an accident.
After all, it is a tropical region, and there is a primeval forest behind the hotel, where snakes are common.
“But venomous snakes aren’t that common, are they?” Joanna asked coldly.
“this … ”
“And it appeared on the beach, where there are a lot of people. This is even more unusual, right?”
The police looked at each other.
The hotel manager also choked on the spot.
Joanna sneered, “This is the second time my friend’s life has been threatened twice on the island. Wait, this is not over yet! Myrna , let’s go!”
After saying that, he took Myrna and strode away.
“Okay, calm down, it’s not worth it.” After leaving the crowd, Myrna advised.
“You were almost injured, and you’re still so calm?!!”
Myrna smiled faintly: “Winning or losing is not a matter of a momentary fight.”
“What do you mean? Do you have a solution?”
Myrna shook her head, “No.”
Joanna : ” … ”
“These things keep happening one after another, Myrna , and I’m really worried. What if … something else happens … ”
Myrna said, “I have a solution for this.”
“What is this?” Joanna blinked.
“you guess.”
” … ”
After all the commotion and the fright they had suffered, Myrna and Joanna hadn’t eaten much and only now felt hungry.
The two of them immediately went to the restaurant for a big meal.
After eating, Joanna received a phone call and went on a date with a happy face.
Myrna did not return to her residence, but headed north along the coastline.
After walking for about five minutes, the bright lights of the stars formed a line, and in the distance, I could smell a fragrance, a pungent smell of spices .
Myrna followed the scent and walked to the door of a store.
Looking up, the “Changxiang Pavilion” comes into view.
Myrna pushed the door open and went in. She thought it was a restaurant, but she found it was an antique shop.
The proprietress is braising chicken feet, no wonder they smell so good.
The store is not very big and you can see the end at a glance. There are shelves on all four sides. Except for the shelf next to the door which is filled with antiques, the others are filled with some weird little gadgets.
Suddenly, a little serious yet cute little man sculpture caught Myrna ‘s attention.
It is less than the size of a palm, but the workmanship is very fine. Whether it is the folds on the shirt or the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose, they are all vivid and lifelike.
The boss knew she was from the same hometown, so his attitude naturally became more enthusiastic: “Young girl, you have a good eye. These sculptures are all handmade by me. They will definitely be presentable as gifts when you bring them back home.”
Myrna smiled and asked the price, “Okay, you can pack it for me.”
“Okay!” The boss took out a postcard and put it into the bag while packing.
“If there’s something you want to say but can’t, just write it down.”
Myrna pursed her lips, wanting to say that there was no need, she had nothing to say, but since the gift was already given, it would be awkward to refuse.
After returning to her residence and taking a shower, Myrna saw the gift bag on the table. She walked over and took out the postcard.
On it was the most beautiful sea view of the Maldives, which she casually threw on the table.
It’s useless anyway.
…
Early the next morning.
Clyde arrived at the restaurant on time, but after looking around, he didn’t see Myrna . Only Joanna was eating breakfast alone.
There is a cup and a salad on the table.
“Good morning, Mr. Effie !” Joanna took the initiative to greet him with a smile. “I saw you walked around three times and kept looking at me. Do you want to have breakfast with me?”
Clyde raised an eyebrow and actually pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her.
” Morning, Ms. Henry .”
“morning.”
Clyde glanced at her cup: “This milk is good.”
Joanna : “This is soy milk.”
” … ”
Awkward.
Joanna picked up the cup and took a sip: ” Mr. Effie, do you have anything to say?”
Clyde stopped pretending and got straight to the point: ” Where’s Myrna ? Why can’t I see her?”
“Do you have anything to do with her?”
“Can’t you find it if you have nothing to do?”
Joanna laughed angrily: “Are all you financial men so idle at the end of the year?”
She wasn’t blind . She knew something was wrong from the moment Clyde showed up on the island.
Sure enough, over the next few days, he approached Myrna in various ways and showed great courtesy to her. His intentions were too obvious to be true.
The whole country has heard about this plan!
Clyde : “Not idle, very busy.”
“So you still have time to come over for vacation?”
“Of course, because there are people I want to see here.”
It’s pointless to play Tai Chi now. Joanna put down her fork, stopped smiling, and sat up straight. “What are your intentions towards Myrna ? If I remember correctly, you and Ansel are good friends, right?”
Clyde : “A gentleman loves a beautiful lady. There are so many reasons behind this, it’s hard to describe them all.”
Joanna : ” … ”
Ansel and I , we had a falling out.”
Joanna : “I see. Because of Myrna ?”
Clyde was silent.
Approximately equal to the default.
“Haha … ” Joanna couldn’t help laughing, “Serves him right! That bastard Ansel should have been punished by a shameless person long ago!”
Clyde : “?”You polite?
Joanna finished laughing, drank the last sip of soy milk, and wiped her mouth. “Okay, I get it. I wish you … can catch up with her soon ?”
“Thank you for your kind words.” Clyde nodded slightly.
“Then take your time eating. I’m leaving first.”
“Wait, you haven’t told me where ‘Lady’ is.”
Joanna looked at her watch. “At this time, we should be … boarding the plane, right?”
Clyde : “???”
In fact, Joanna didn’t expect that the “solution” Myrna mentioned was to return home.
“Since this island doesn’t match my aura, let’s go back home!”
