[Carrie: I still feel that he and I are from different worlds, but I admit that my position is not as firm as it was.]
[Carrie: He suffered terribly when he took TP1314. At that time, I completely changed my opinion of him. He is a man who is willing to do what is right for his country and his people. He is a man worthy of a woman’s admiration, and he still accommodates me in life.]
Carrie: But Paige, I don’t know if he’s just doing it because he’s interested for the moment, and if one day he doesn’t feel like it anymore, then we’ll be in an awkward situation. People can just break up if they want to, but he and I still have to act like a married couple. It’s miserable just thinking about it.
Carrie was probably really at a loss, because she sent three messages in a row.
Paige looked down at the content on the screen of her phone, not yet sure how to reply, when another new message from Carrie came in.
Carrie: Paige, does my brother-in-law’s wife know about his love history? Why don’t you and my brother-in-law find out? I want to know what kind of person Rafael was when he was in love. If he wasn’t passionate about every relationship, forget it.
Their relationship is mixed with business, and if they can’t stay in love, and want to end it after two or three months, it will be difficult for them to get along in the future.
“…”
You really dare to ask someone to find out.
Paige glanced at the person next to her, and was caught in the act by Enrico, “What are you looking at?”
“Nothing.”
Paige smiled and sent a message to Carrie.
Paige: Your concerns are not unreasonable, but relationships are different for different people. Just because his previous relationships didn’t last doesn’t mean he doesn’t want a long-term relationship this time.
Carrie looked down at her phone and started typing again.
Carrie: Then it’s a gamble, and I still want to choose sensibly.
After all, she can’t just go for it recklessly like a normal little girl.
Paige: “There’s something wrong with your gamble too. If all the relationships he’s been in have lasted two or three years, or even five or six years, would you feel comfortable with that?”
After sending the message, she looked up and saw that Carrie had frozen in place.
Obviously, Carrie wanted to be rational, but she hadn’t thought about the fact that the answer would hurt.
Carrie put away her phone, gave Paige a deep look, smiled a little reluctantly, and didn’t reply.
Jaden cut the first plate of barbecue and served it on the table, “Four people, please enjoy.”
“You can sit down too. The barbecue grill is right next to you, so you can grill while you eat,” said Paige.
“Yes, ma’am.”
Jaden sat down and reached out to pick up the barbecue, but Rafael and Enrico simultaneously picked up two of the best pieces of meat and put them on Carrie and Paige’s plates.
Jaden glanced at his sports car. Should he drive it over and keep it by his side?
“Enrico, come, I’d like to toast you and wish you a safe and happy retirement.”
After being teased and beaten up, Rafael still lifted the glass in front of him and sincerely toasted Enrico. His words contained envy, “I hope that in a few years, I can also retire with success and learn from you all.”
This remark was a little too obvious, and Carrie looked at Rafael with a little bit of mixed feelings.
A few years later, could they be together a few years from now?
Upon hearing this, Jaden also raised his glass, “Boss, don’t worry, since I’ve taken over the conglomerate, I will manage it well and not let you worry.”
Despite the blood oath, he will not be ambiguous about what needs to be done.
Enrico took the glass in front of him with one hand and clinked it with theirs. It was also a rare time when he spoke from the heart, “If something happens to The Capital…”
Upon hearing this, Rafael and Jaden immediately looked at him.
“Solve it yourself and don’t bother me,”
Enrico said without hesitation, and drained the glass in front of him.
“…”
Rafael and Jaden were silent and drank in silence.
…
After the day of the two best friends, Paige went to each of them privately to express her gratitude for their concern about her wedding, but she didn’t want to sway Enrico’s opinion.
So, weddings and all that, it doesn’t matter.
Although it was a bit disappointing, it didn’t affect life.
The day before they left, Paige and Enrico took Gabriel to stay at a private mountain villa for one night.
They had said goodbye to everyone except his mother and sister, and they hadn’t said goodbye yet.
In front of the tall monument, Gabriel put his hands together in a serious manner, knelt down, bowed his head, closed his eyes, and kept talking with his small mouth, “Hello beautiful grandma, hello beautiful aunt, I am Gabriel, Enrico’s son, I am four years old, according to the lunar calendar, I am actually very young, but I want to study a lot.”
“Mommy said that you two are stars in the sky watching over us, I saw on TV that people who become stars will bless children.”
“I hope you bless Gabriel so that he doesn’t have to do too much homework, bless the little dolphin so that she can learn to write soon and help me with my homework, and bless my mommy and daddy so that they will always have money and never run out, so that Gabriel doesn’t have to work hard…”
“Pop!”
Enrico stood to one side and gave a palm slap, “Do you have so much to say to them?”
They’ve been whispering for so long, they’re more pious than believers.
Paige, who was crouched down to hear them more clearly, remained silent.
“I won’t say anymore.”
Gabriel solemnly bowed several times on the ground and whispered, “That’s all. Thank you, thank you. If you’re tired of being stars, just bless me. Thank you, thank you!”
After that, Gabriel stood up, patted his trousers, and said, “Daddy, Mommy, I’ve said goodbye to Grandma and Auntie. I’m going to play for a while.”
The villa was full of flowers and Gabriel directed the little dolphin to wander around inside.
Paige squatted in front of the two monuments and smiled as she looked at the beautiful faces of the two people on them. “Mother, sister, I am Paige, Enrico’s wife and Gabriel’s mother. That was Gabriel just now. He speaks without thinking, so don’t take any of what he says to heart. Just take care of yourselves.”
She imitated Gabriel’s opening remarks.
“Did he just ask my mother to bless him or something?”
Enrico half-squatted beside her. He had not heard Gabriel’s words as he had been standing.
“You don’t want to know.”
Paige smiled and placed the pastries in front of the monument before continuing, “We will be leaving here tomorrow. We will come back a few times a year and visit you then. I hope you don’t mind.”
After saying this, Paige turned her eyes to Enrico and then stood up, indicating that she wanted to leave him alone.
Halfway up, her hand was grabbed by Enrico and pulled back.
Enrico was half-squatting on the ground, his knuckles grasping her hand, his deep eyes staring at the tablet in front of him, his voice low, “I’m doing very well now, and there’s no better time than this.”
“…”
Paige looked at the two entwined hands and smiled knowingly.
“You don’t need to listen to a single word Gabriel just said. You just need to pray that these two people can stay by my side forever.”
