CHAPTER 1106
Back in Chatterton Town. At the Shengtian Hospital.
When Andrew received the phone call and rushed there, all members of the Carter family were gathered there and they surrounded the bed to listen to the elderly Grandmother’s last words.
Edwin grabbed his elderly mother’s hand. “Mom.”
The elderly grandmother looked at Edwin and Jane beside him and spoke weakly, "Edwin, Jane, you two have worked hard these years.”
Jane shook her head and said, “Mother, no, we didn’t take care of everyone just purely out of responsibility. From doing so, we also felt the warmth and happiness of the family.”
The elderly grandmother was very satisfied. After a pause, she said, “From now on, please take care of your father. You must spend more time with him. Don’t let him become too lonely."
Edwin and Jane nodded at the same time. “Mom, we will."
The elderly grandmother gradually shifted her focus and looked at Janell Joy. “Janell Joy, I might not be able to attend your wedding. However, your wedding must be held as scheduled. At that time, I may not have gone far, and I might still be able to see you.”
Janell Joy was so sorrowful. She kept wiping her tears away. “Grandma, I don’t want you to go. You have to recover and watch me get married. You have to be a witness at my wedding.”
Old Madam Carter wanted to reach out to wipe away the tears in the corners of her granddaughter’s eyes, but she was too weak to raise her hand. “Don’t cry. don’t make your Brother Lucas sad.”
Old Madam Kyle looked at Lucas and said, “My dear Lucas, I will leave our baby Janell to you in the future. You must treat her well.”
Lucas knelt at the bedside and said, “Grandma, I will take good care of her for the rest of my life! Please be assured of this!”
The elderly grandmother curved her pale lips in satisfaction and turned to look at Angela and Victor. “Victor, Angela, I’m relieved that you two have each other. Take good care of each other.”
Victor nodded. He rarely cried but there were tears in his eyes. “Sister, don’t worry, We will live a good life from now on."
Angela was crying so hard that she couldn’t say a word. She just nodded desperately.
The elderly grandmother’s eyes fell on the two children. “Little Precious, Little Levi, I hope that both of you will grow up happily. You must tell me when you get married in the future."
The two young boys also nodded sensibly. “We will."
There was not much time left. She was about to take her last breath, but the elderly grandmother was still holding on. She was waiting for someone, waiting for the child that she was worried about.
Finally, before she swallowed her last breath, he arrived. She used the last strength of her body. “Andrew.”
Andrew stepped forward and knelt in front of the elderly grandmother’s bed. He choked and said, “Grandma… I’m sorry! I didn’t get to bring her to see you.”
Old Madam Carter smiled slightly and waited for a long time before she said, “My child, it doesn’t matter if she didn’t get to see me. Please tell her on my behalf that if I saw her, I would have definitely liked her. Grandma welcomes her to the Carter family. She is now one of us.”
Andrew held his elderly grandmother’s hand and said, “Grandma..”
Old Madam Carter added, “I have a gift for her."
Hearing her words, Edwin took out a box and handed it to Andrew. Old Madam Carter continued to say, “This is the gift I have prepared for my granddaughter-in law. I hope she will like it.”
Andrew took the box with trembling hands and nodded desperately. “Yes, yes, she will. She will definitely like you, Grandma, and she will definitely like the gift you got her.”
“Okay.” After making her final requests, the elderly grandmother’s eyes finally fell on her husband’s face. She smiled slightly and said, "Stephen…"
Stephen held her hand tightly and sobbed, “Olivia, I’m here. I’ll listen to what you want to say. Don’t worry, take your time.”
She opened her mouth, but she couldn’t make a sound because she was too weak. Everyone was worried. After waiting for a while, they heard her say, “Stephen, in our next life, I still want to meet you and be your wife. Are you willing?”
“Olivia, of course, I am willing.’ Stephen kissed her on her forehead, and then he caressed the hair on her forehead. “Wait for me. I will chase you and marry you again. However, in the next life, I will never let you suffer again."
Old Madam Carter smiled elegantly and shook her head slightly. “No, I have never felt bitter being with you. I have always been the happiest woman in the world.” She had a husband who loved her, a filial and intelligent son, a lively and lovely daughter and many filial grandchildren.
Her life was well fulfilled.
When all the events from the past replayed in her mind one by one, she closed her eyes slowly and took in her last breath. Then, she departed this wonderful world quietly and peacefully, leaving behind her beloved family.
If there could be a next life, Old Madam Carter hoped that she could meet her husband, Stephen Carter, again. She would give birth to his children, and let him hold her hand for the rest of her life.
…………..
After the elderly grandmother passed away, the Carter family buried her in Peach Garden on Rana Mountain. That place was the origin of her fondest memories.
According to local tradition, weddings should not be held so shortly after someone passed away. However, Old Madam Carter was particularly worried about Janell Joy’s wedding. Before her death, she insisted that they held the wedding as scheduled.
Therefore, Janell Joy’s wedding was not postponed and it was held on time at Grandovio Hotel. However, they kept it simple and refused any media coverage.
Many people didn’t understand the Carter family’s decision to hold the wedding shortly after the funeral. However, the family did not explain this matter to the public. This was their private matter, and no one felt that it was necessary to explain their decision to others.
On that day, many reporters gathered at the entrance of the hotel early, hoping to get some headlines for the front page news. However, the security was quite tight. Except for the guests invited to the wedding, no one else could enter the wedding venue.
There were not many guests at the wedding. Most of them were close friends and relatives of the Carter family.
At the wedding aisle, Edwin handed Janell Joy’s hand to Lucas personally, “Janell Joy is my most precious daughter. Today, I personally hand her over to you. I hope that you can dote on her more than I do in future."
Lucas took Janell Joy’s hand and said solemnly, “Dad, don’t worry. I will bring her happiness and protect her life for eternity."
Like Edwin, Lucas was not good at expressing his feelings. However, at this moment, for the woman they loved the most, they both broke through their own reservations.
Looking at his son-in-law, whom he had never been satisfied with in the past, Edwin finally nodded in content. His daughter had not misjudged Lucas. Lucas was indeed a man whom Janell Joy could entrust her life with.
CHAPTER 1107
The wedding was going smoothly.
When the marriage officiant announced that the groom could kiss the bride, Lucas held Janell Joy’s hand, lifted the veil gently, and caressed her face, giving her a kiss.
At the wedding, there were many people watching. However, Lucas was behaving like a boisterous teenager. Once he kissed Janell Joy, he couldn’t stop.
“Brother Lucas, there are many people watching us.” Janell Joy pushed him slightly and reminded him in a low voice. If this went on, they would definitely become the center of gossip for the day.
“Janell, do you know how beautiful you are?” Even though he had been looking at her for so many years, he was still amazed by her beauty every time he saw her.
Especially today, she looked like an angel who had accidentally fallen from the heavens, when she walked out in her white wedding gown. Every time Lucas looked at Janell Joy, he felt even more enthusiastic.
It was a wonderful feeling! Hurray!
Lucas cheered in his heart. From that day on, he could finally have her, love her, cherish her and spoil her to the end of time.
"Brother Lucas, you are very handsome too.” In her eyes, Lucas was different that day from other days in the past. He was glowing from head to toe.
This man had always been excellent and she had always admired him. From that day onward, he would officially become her husband, the person she would spend the rest of her life with.
Their eyes were locked on to each other. They didn’t need to say anything. They understood each other just by looking into each other’s eyes.
Their fingers were intertwined and they gave a sincere bow to their relatives and friends who were present at the wedding. They thanked them for being the witnesses to their love.
On the stage, the newly-weds were wrapped in a blanket of love. In a corner beneath the stage, Andrew glanced at them in a daze, observing the dazzling bride on her wedding day.
In the past, Andrew had wanted to tear them apart. But at present, he only wanted to give them his deepest blessings. As her elder brother, Andrew wanted Lucas to protect Janell Joy on behalf of himself, so that she could continue living like a carefree princess.
Andrew said quietly, “Janell Joy, you must be happy for the rest of your life. Don’t let your family worry about you. Then, Grandma, who has gone to heaven, will rest in peace. I think grandma must still be here, and she is also witnessing your wedding.”
"Jayden.” He heard a gentle voice suddenly beside him. He turned around and saw his mother, Jane Ronan, standing beside him.
“Mom, what’s the matter?”
Jane smiled gently and said, “We are all very happy that you came back to see Grandma, to see her through the last journey. It’s great that you could attend JanellJoy’s wedding as well.”
“Mom, I am also a part of the Carter family. Grandma loves me so much, so of course, I would come back to see her." He looked at Janell Joy on the stage again. “I am also Janell Joy’s brother, and I hope that she will lead a blessed life.”
"Andrew, I’m really relieved.” Jane had long known how her son felt about Janell Joy in the past. Now that she realized he had thought through the matter, she felt a sense of gratification.
Andrew blamed himself and said, “Mom, in the past, there were some things that I didn’t do well enough and I wasn’t comprehensive enough in handling certain matters. I caused you to worry about me."
His mother shook her head and said, “No, you haven’t done anything wrong. On the contrary, you’ve always done a good job. You’ve set a great example for Janell Joy and Little Precious."
“Mom, thank you for being patient with me all this while. You’ve never given up on me.” This was Andrew's family, the family whom he had never dared to face. At that moment, he was thanking them from the bottom of his heart.
“You will always be our child." His mother patted him on the shoulder. “By the way, did something happen between you and your wife?’'
“Yes, something happened.” Andrew nodded, “Mom, don’t worry about us. I’ll handle the matter between us."
Jane said, “Andrew, if she doesn’t want to come to our home, we won’t force her. When she is willing, you can bring her home. Your father and I share the same thoughts as your Grandmother. As long as she is the girl you like, we will definitely favor her and welcome her to be a part of our family.”
Jane's words were also what Edwin's thoughts were, but Edwin was not good at expressing his feelings, especially when talking to his son. Except for work, the father and son had little to talk about. Therefore, Jane was the one tasked to speak to Andrew at present.
“Mom, I will bring her home eventually, but… it may take some time.” This would not be possible in a short period of time. That silly woman could not even accept the fact that they were husband and wife, so she would certainly not want to go home with him.
If Andrew brought Silvia home by force, the events that happened between them would be exposed to his family. Andrew didn’t want that to happen. He had been away for many years. Not only did he not take care of this family, he also made them worry about him.
He had already let them down previously. He could not let them worry about him anymore.
Jane didn’t understand what had happened between Andrew and his wife, and she didn’t ask any further. She said, “Andrew, you just have to remember that no matter where you are, this is home. Our door is open to you at any time."
Andrew nodded and said, “Mom, I know!"
In the past, he had always felt that he was an outsider. No matter what it was, Andrew had never truly felt like a member of the Carter family. There were still some psychological barriers he could not overcome.
However, after the recent few days, he truly understood that he had been thinking too much. No one in the family treated him as an outsider.
Especially his Grandmother, who had just passed away, she was always thinking about him until her last breath. If he didn’t come back to see her for the last time, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Fortunately, he had returned. Because of this, he would never cut ties with this family anymore. He would pay attention to any news about them all the time, and he would also update them about his life.
Even if they were not in the same country or city, his affection for the Carter family would never cease.
Ding dong.
His mobile phone suddenly rang, Andrew apologized and said, “Mom, I have to take this call."
“Go deal with your affairs. I’ll go and look for your father.” Jane turned around and left. After a few steps, she turned back and said, “Andrew, take time to have a good chat with your father later.”
“Okay, I’ll go after I answer the call." Seeing his mother go, Andrew walked to the garden outside the hotel and answered the phone, “What’s the matter?"
The person on the other end of the phone said something. Andrew's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly, “She’s a person, not a thing which can be easily misplaced, and you can’t even find her?”
After a pause, Andrew said, “Continue to look for her. No matter where she is hiding, find her. Remember, I want her in good shape, and not a single strand of her hair should be missing.”
That silly woman was not familiar with this place. Where would she be? Andrew held his phone tightly and suddenly felt a headache. For so many years, there were very few things that made him feel so helpless.
CHAPTER 1108
At the same time.
Silvia was happily soaking in a milk bath and drinking champagne in the hotel.
“This champagne is so delicious!” After taking a small sip, Silvia licked her pink and tender lips with satisfaction. She didn’t intend to waste any of the champagne.
Although it was boring to drink alone, she was happy today and asked the waiter to send her a bottle. She enjoyed drinking while soaking in the bathtub.
“Young Master Carter, you’re very powerful, aren’t you? What’s wrong? Why couldn’t you find me this time?”
Three days had passed, but Andrew hadn’t appeared yet. It seemed that her idea was effective this time. The most dangerous place was the safest place. Andrew probably never guessed that she would use his money to book the room right next to him.
Not only did she check into a luxurious suite with his money, she also used his money to order all kinds of delicacies that he did not allow her to eat. She even ordered a facial spa through room service. The more she thought about this, the more pleased she became. She felt that she was smart. She actually could defeat Andrew, that devil. Silvia raised her glass and drank the champagne in one gulp.
In order to avoid being caught she had stayed in the room for three days. Today, she planned to go out to relax and find something fun to do to kill time. At the same time, she was also investigating the situation to see if Andrew had left Jiangbei.
Silvia knew that the more cautious she was, the more likely she would be discovered. Thus, she casually wore a set of clothes and went out boldly.
“Where should I go?
There were many interesting places in Jiangbei, but the scenery was almost the same in every city. Silvia was not interested, so she chose her favorite place, the No.1 Food Street in Jiangbei.
The food street was several kilometres long. From the front to the end of the street, there were many kinds of delicious food. As long as it was meat, no matter if it came from an animal that flew or swam, Silvia ate them all.
Although she was just halfway through the street, her stomach was a little full. Silvia planned to go shopping nearby and she would continue to eat when she came back.
Anyway, it was Andrew's money. Silvia didn’t feel distressed at all. She went to the shopping mall and bought many things. She bought a full set of clothes for herself.
“Hello.. Miss Turner?”
When she walked out of the mall, she suddenly heard someone greeting her. Before she could see who it was, Silvia instinctively ran away.
“Miss Turner, why are you running? It’s me!”
The person caught up with her. His voice sounded a little familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had heard this voice.
The man caught up with her in a few steps and blocked her. “Miss Turner, although you said that you would pay for the transport, I didn’t come to ask you for it. Why did you run away after seeing me?”
“You’re the driver?” Silvia remembered that this man had helped her return to Jiangbei on the highway that day.
“What driver? My name is Lennox, Lennox Adams. I told you that day, did you forget?’ The man thought she would have remembered his name.
“Oh.. Yes. Lennox, it’s you." Silvia patted him on the shoulder. In fact, she really didn’t remember his name, but she still pretended to be enthusiastic. “Are you here to shop too?”
“I am going to my friend’s party. I happened to meet you here while I was on my way.” Silvia’s tone made him happy. “Are you busy? If not, would you do me a favor and accompany me to the party? After all, everyone has a plus one, except for me. It’s quite embarrassing."
“Lennox, do you want me to pretend to be your girlfriend?” Looking at the man’s blushing face, Silvia could tell at a glance what he was up to.
“Is that okay?'’ The man smiled shyly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. “If you’re willing to go with me, I’ll be very grateful."
“No." Silvia refused immediately, but when she thought of how he had helped her, she changed her tone to a more euphemistic tone of refusal. “Look, we’ve only met once. We don’t know each other. What if you are a bad person?”
“Are you worried that I’m a bad guy and I’ll lie to you?” Lennox immediately took out his wallet and put his identification card into Silvia’s hand. “Look, I’m from Jiangbei, and I’m a good citizen.”
Her answer just now was only an excuse that Silvia had come up with. She didn’t expect him to be stupid. Silvia had to find another reason. “I have to go to work.”
“Go to work?” Lennox scratched his head and suddenly thought of something. “Silvia, tell me, how much do you earn in a month?”
“Not much, just south of twenty thousand dollars." Silvia lied casually
Unexpectedly, Lennox immediately took out his mobile phone. “What is your bank account number? I’ll give you 20,000 dollars, and you can come to the party with me.”
“What the f*ck!”
She was offered 20,000 dollars to go to a party. Her eyes lit up. She suddenly felt that the short Lennox in front of her had grown much taller. She really wanted to agree with him, but she couldn’t let him think that she was going just for the money.
Just when Silvia hesitated, Lennox said again, "I’ll add another 20,000 dollars."
It was like money falling from the sky!
Silvia was wary and didn’t believe him. “Lennox, if you wanted to find a girlfriend to accompany you to the party, you could rent one online with a few hundred dollars. Why does it have to be me?”
“Rent online? Do you think I’m that kind of person?” Lennox was a little angry. “I asked you for help because I thought we were friends.”
D#mn, that was a lot of money, 40,000 dollars! Silvia was tempted, but she was afraid that it was a trap. Once she jumped in, she would be caught.
Silvia looked at him and said, “40,000. That’s 40,000 dollars. It’s not a small amount. How can you be so generous? Is your family very rich?"
Lennox was most proud of his family’s wealth. “Yes. My dad often says that he is poor. He is so poor that he only has money left.”
“So poor that he only has money left?!” This was such an arrogant and conceited saying, which would sound condescending to the ears of others.
However, for Silvia, it worked. She would not mind having more money. She thought that perhaps she had bumped into a nouveau-riche, who was ready to splash money.
Facing such a large sum of money, especially after her company had gone bankrupt, Silvia really couldn’t turn it down. “Well, 40,000 dollars is 40,000 dollars. I guess I’ll have to do it for my friend.”
Lennox giggled and stretched out his hand to pat Silvia’s shoulder. “Silvia, I knew you were a good friend.”
Silvia leaned aside slightly and avoided his touch. “I’m not doing this for your sake. I’m doing it for the sake of money. You can transfer the money to me first."
She needed concrete evidence, as his verbal promise was not sufficient. Only when the money was transferred into her account could Silvia feel at ease.
“Okay, give me your account number and I will transfer the money to you immediately.” Lennox immediately transferred 40,000 dollars to Silvia without even a blink.
Silvia was completely dumbfounded.
When the money entered her account, Silvia happily went to the party as Lennox’s girlfriend.
CHAPTER 1109
The party was in fact, an ordinary birthday party.
Before arriving there, Silvia had imagined many different scenarios. If the party was strange, how should she deal with it? She had thought of many ideas, but she did not need to use any of them when she arrived at the party.
“You’re here, Lennox." Lennox’s friends greeted him warmly. When they saw Silvia next to him, their eyes were fixed on her. “Lennox, who is this?"
“Hello, I’m Lennox’s girlfriend. Nice to meet all of you." Since she had taken his money, she thought that she should play her part well. Her job was to be a qualified girlfriend, and she needed to make Lennox look good.
Silvia’s words made Lennox laugh happily, “Yes, yes, she is my girlfriend. Her name is Silvia. Please take care of her in the future.”
“Yo, my man, since when do you have a girlfriend? She’s so beautiful.” Lennox’s friends didn’t believe this, but thinking about the matter carefully, this kid’s father was rich after all. It was not surprising that he managed to find such a beautiful woman to be his girlfriend.
“Hey hey, thank you for your compliments! However, it is mainly because Lennox is good looking, and that’s why he was able to find a beautiful girlfriend like me.” Hearing the praises from others, whether it was sincere or not, Silvia accepted them at face value. She even praised Lennox as well.
Seeing that his girlfriend was so sensible, and that the others were envious of him in their hearts, Lennox smiled like a silly boy. In fact, he was smiling at Silvia, the whole night.
“Come on, let’s toast to our birthday boy, as well as Lennox! Let’s congratulate him for finally getting a girlfriend after being single for more than 20 years!” Someone raised his glass, and the others also followed suit.
“I’ll drink, I’ll drink.” Lennox did not refuse. No matter who toasted him, he would drink one glass after another.
Although he was getting drunk, the people did not stop. Silvia could not bear to see this anymore. She stood up and took over the wine glass handed by someone else. “Lennox is drunk. I’ll drink on his behalf.”
"Silvia, you…" No one had ever drank on his behalf. Silvia’s actions moved him deeply. “You’re so good to me!”
Was her boyfriend blind? How could he not like such a great woman? Lennox hoped that he would not run into Silvia’s boyfriend, or he would beat him up every time he saw him.
“Lennox, congratulations, boy. You’ve managed to get such a considerate girlfriend." The man next to him clapped his hands and said, “You two should finish one glass each together."
Seeing that his “girlfriend” was so great, Lennox decided to go all out. He reached out and grabbed the glass of wine. Silvia quickly said, "I will finish these two glasses. You should stop drinking."
"Silvia, no way!”
He was a man, so how could he let a woman drink on his behalf? Not to mention that he was worried for her, it would be embarrassing if word got out that his girlfriend had drank on his behalf.
"I said I’ll drink it. Stop complaining.” Silvia hated men who either complained a lot or men who were like Andrew.
She downed both glasses of wine like it was nothing. “Well, the party is almost over. Let’s go back."
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Silvia didn’t feel anything at all. She had to thank Prince and his gang for drinking with her in the past. Now, she had a reputation of not getting drunk even after drinking a lot.
Coming out of the bar, Lennox pulled Silvia aside and asked, “Silvia, why are you so good to me?"
The air outdoors was much better than indoors. In addition, there was a cool breeze. Silvia faced the wind, letting it blow away the scent of alcohol and smoke on her.
“Lennox, I’m not being nice to you. I took your money, so think of my actions as me doing my job. That’s all. Don’t overthink this."
If it were someone else, Silvia would have pretended to be a good person. However, in front of this naive man, she didn’t want to lie to him.
He looked at her, as if she was his goddess, a goddess that he was destined to be with. Although she knew that she was good-looking and looked like a goddess when she did not act rudely, she did not want to attract such a silly man. She only hoped that the man she liked also liked her back.
Thinking of the man whom she liked, Silvia thought of the man who had disappeared completely from her life. Maybe they were just not meant to be.
Although they were not fated for each other, whenever she thought about this, she could still feel her heart ache. It was as if her heart was pinched tightly by someone, and she found it hard to breathe.
“Silvia, there are too few girls who are as honest as you” In the past, many girls used to tell him that they loved him just because his father was rich.
To be honest, he was not stupid. He could see who was really good to him and who was actually eyeing his father’s money.
“Honest?” This was the first time someone had used this word to describe her. Silvia suddenly felt a little bitter. She had been strong for so long, but she still needed a shoulder to lean on. Obviously, God did not give her this opportunity, and now she did not need this anymore.
Seeing Silvia’s bitter smile, Lennox asked, “Silvia, are you feeling sad?”
“No. I’m fine.” Silvia smiled. “I just suddenly thought of a person. I was just wondering where he is, and how he is."
Hearing her talk about a man, Lennox, who knew nothing, naturally thought of the man in Silvia’s false story. “Silvia, such a man is not worthy of your love. You deserve better."
“Better? Do you mean yourself?” Silvia blinked and suddenly burst into laughter. “Actually, I’m feeling sad not because of this. I’m sad because I can’t go home."
Lennox was even more confused. “Why can’t you go home?”
"I’m not from Jiangbei. Due to some issues, I can’t get out of the country. I can only stay in this damn place for the time being.” Perhaps because Lennox was naive, Silvia didn’t feel the need to lie to him. “I even wanted to get a fake identity to get out of the country, but I couldn’t find a way."
“A fake identity?” An old memory flashed through Lennox’s mind. “I heard from my father before that many rich people have many identities. He also wanted to give me another identity card, but I didn’t agree.”
“Do you mean you have a way to do this?” Once again, Silvia felt that Lennox was quite powerful. He was simply fated to be her savior.
“Yes, but…” Lennox was a little embarrassed. “I don’t know if my dad is willing to help me. After all, it’s risky to do such a thing”
“I see… then forget it.” Silvia lowered her head dejectedly. “I think as long as I work harder, I will definitely find a way."
“Silvia.” Lennox was a little sad when he saw Silvia’s dejected look. “I am your friend. You can count on me. I’ll help you.”
“Lennox, thank you!” Silvia gave him a friendly hug. In actual fact, for the first time, she was ashamed of herself for lying to others and cheating others. At the same time, she remembered the name of this man and added him onto her list.
CHAPTER 1110
Lennox might be naive, but he was quick to help his friends. His efficiency was beyond Silvia’s imagination.
The next day, while Silvia was still sleeping in her soft bed and having a sweet dream, Lennox called and told her the good news. Not only did he get Silvia a new passport, he even applied for her travel visa. He also bought her a flight ticket to Madison City.
Looking at the brand-new passport, Silvia was impressed with what power and money could do. It only took one night for her to get a new fake identity.
Silvia was so moved that she gave Lennox a friendly hug. “Lennox, thank you for helping me so much! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know when I could go home.”
Lennox scratched his head and said, “Silvia, I am your friend. Your business is my business. Don’t speak so courteously to me in the future."
“Okay, I won’t talk like this anymore. Anyway, pass me your mobile phone."
“Here you go.”
Lennox didnt ask why Silvia wanted to use his mobile phone. She said that she wanted it, so he passed it to her without hesitation.
Silvia took his cell phone and entered her number. “This is my phone number. If you need my help in the future, look for me at any time."
Lennox giggled. “Okay, I’ll keep that in mind. When I’m free, I’ll look for you in Madison City.”
Silvia smiled and said, “Silly boy, you should go back. If we’re fated to meet again, we’ll meet again!”
"Silvia, I’ll wait till you go through the security checkpoint first, then I’ll leave.” Lennox had personally drived Silvia to the airport. They were already at the security checkpoint, but he was reluctant to go back.
“Lennox.” Silvia wanted to tell him not to be so naive in the future. She wanted to tell him not to believe in other people’s words so easily, especially someone like her who was full of nonsense, but she didn’t say this in the end.
“Silvia, smooth sail… I mean safe flight! When you get home, remember to send me a message." Lennox looked at Silvia quietly, as if he wanted to grow a pair of wings to fly away with Silvia.
“Okay.” It was an unexpected surprise for Silvia to make friends with Lennox during this trip to Jiangbei. She didn’t even tell him her full name, but he had helped her as much as he could. It was rare to see such a person in this society nowadays.
He lived in his own world and remained simple and kind. The world needed more people like this, but people like this were considered outliers in today’s society.
Many people would consider Lennox a fool, but in fact, he only had a simple and kind heart like a child.
………...
With her new identity, Silvia successfully boarded the plane to fly to Madison City. The plane took off smoothly and flew back to her beautiful hometown. Looking at the white clouds outside the cabin, Silvia made a gesture of victory and said, “Young Master Carter, I thought you were invincible, but now it seems that you are just so-so!”
…………..
After the wedding, Lucas and Janell Joy originally planned to go for their honeymoon. However, due to their Grandmother’s passing, they canceled the honeymoon.
That day, the whole family gathered for dinner. On one hand, they were giving their blessings to Janell Joy for finally marrying Brother Lucas. On the other hand, they welcomed Andrew back home.
During the banquet, Andrew had been absent-minded. He looked at his mobile phone from time to time, waiting for his men to send news on Silvia. Janell Joy noticed this and whispered to him, “Brother, are you waiting for your wife’s call?
“No." Andrew wasn’t waiting for her call, but this matter had something to do with her. A few days had passed, but she hadn’t been found yet. Andrew was getting more anxious.
Janell Joy asked again, “Brother, did you get into an argument with her?”
“An argument?” It was somewhat true, and Andrew knew that Silvia hated him. Whenever the two of them were together, the atmosphere was tense.
Although Andrew did not admit it, Janell Joy was certain of this idea. “Brother, you are a man, and you should be more forgiving. No matter who is right or wrong between the two of you, you should let her win sometimes. If you talked to her nicely and coaxed her more, everything would be negotiable.”
“Coax her?” Now, he didn’t even know where she was, so how could he coax her? More importantly, every time he tried to praise her, she would think that he had bad intentions.
“Yes. You should praise her and tell her things that she likes to hear. Then, she won’t be angry with you." Every time Janell Joy was angry, Lucas did this. She thought that the trick would work on every girl.
“Is that so?” Andrew doubted whether this move was really useful on Silvia
Ring, ring, ring!
The phone suddenly rang, and Andrew answered almost immediately, “What’s the situation now?"
The person on the other end of the phone said in a hurry, “Master, Miss Turner went back to Madison City, half an hour ago. She left using a fake identity.”
"A fake identity?” Andrew clenched his fists. It seemed that he had underestimated her. He never expected her to be able to leave Jiangbei.
……….
Silvia slept through the whole eight-hour flight. However, this time, she had an economy class seat, and there was no human pillow beside her. She did not sleep well and when she got off the plane, her neck was sore.
However, she was back in her hometown. The thought of being able to see her mother soon, made her forget about the tiring journey back home. On the way to meet her mother, Silvia took out her mobile phone and opened her WhatsApp. There was a three-way group chat that included Prince, Lemur, and herself.
She pressed the chat button and said, “I’m back. Ten o’clock tonight. I’ll buy you drinks at our usual spot. See you later." After that, she sent out the voice message.
Soon, Prince replied, “Boss! You finally showed up. I was so worried for you that I lost my appetite and lost a lot of weight.”
Silvia added, “Prince, you are good with your words. Can’t you think of a more creative way to express your yearning for me?”
Lemur also sent a voice message, “Boss, drinking is harmful for your body. You are a woman after all. Why don’t we do something else for entertainment?”
Silvia replied, “Why are you talking so much nonsense? I am your Boss. If I said that I am going to treat you to a drink, do you dare not to come?"
Prince said, “Boss, you don’t know that Lemur has gotten a girlfriend. His girlfriend doesn’t allow him to drink, and now he has totally stopped drinking."
Silvia said, “Lemur has gotten a girlfriend? That girl is not blind, is she?”
Lemur said, “Boss, don’t worry. No matter how blind she is, she is not as blind as Felix was!”
Seeing that Lemur and Silvia were about to quarrel, Prince didn’t persuade them to calm down and even added fuel to the fire. “Lemur, explain clearly, what do you mean?”
Lemur said, “At least I am a proper man, but look at our Boss! She may look like a woman, she doesn’t behave like a woman at all.”
