Olivia and her grandma had a common advantage, that is, no matter how curious they were about others, they would never ask questions as long as they were not mentioned on their own initiative.
Just like now, Olivia was really curious about who Stephen was, what kind of work he did, and why he could make himself so miserable. After all, even if he worked as a dishwasher in a restaurant, he won't let himself be so hungry.
He had hands and feet, and he was handsome. In fact, it was easy to find a job, at least to support himself.
However, no matter how curious Olivia was, she didn't want to ask him.
After all, there were no relatives, it was only the relationship between the landlord and the tenant.
After stuffing crabs and fruit to Stephen, Olivia had no reason to stay at the door all the time.
Just as Olivia was about to leave, Stephen stopped her and hesitated, and asked, "How is Miss Smith's child now?"
That day he stayed until he confirmed that the baby was born and left the hospital. He had not seen Jasmine in the past month.
"Pretty good."
Olivia thought for a moment and then said, "I almost forgot. Jas is very grateful to you. Her baby will have a full month celebration the day after tomorrow. If you are free, why don't you come over for dinner and celebrate with us?"
"The day after tomorrow?"
"Yes. I'm only going to invite a few people and having a banquet at my house. "
Stephen nodded. "Well, I'll be there the day after tomorrow."
For such a celebration here, people would either give red envelopes or prepare gifts for the children, but Olivia felt that either way, it would be very difficult for Stephen, so she said, "Jas is only going to invite you to dinner to celebrate, so don't prepare red envelopes. We're not going to prepare red envelopes, either. The kid has everything, so don’t bother to buy some gifts."
Olivia paused. "Why don't you take your guitar and sing a song for the baby or a birthday song to liven up the atmosphere?"
When she was dealing with people, she found that she really couldn't beat around the bush with men, so she might as well say it bluntly.
Stephen immediately nodded and agreed, "Sure."
Seeing that he promised so quickly, she knew that he would not try hard to prepare red envelopes or gifts anymore.
Olivia didn't expect to see Jacob again.
The thing was, Olivia came out to socialize with her boss. Today, she came to the most reputable seafood restaurant in the city. From the outside, it was as elegant as a big hotel. Olivia was asked by the boss to go to the trunk of the parking car to get a bottle of good wine.
As soon as Olivia came to the parking lot, she heard someone arguing before she could find the boss's car.
She stopped her movements, tilted her ears, and began to eavesdrop.
"I don't understand why you suddenly called off your engagement and ignored me?"
The woman's voice was a little sharp. "Haven't we all agreed? What's going on now? Everyone knows you don't want me, you don't want to marry me."
The man's voice was very cold and polite. "Miss White, I made it very clear to you that I would like to be a nominal husband with you in the past, but now I don't want to. Please don’t pester me."
"Jacob, do you think I don't know? Is it because of the secretary who worked for you? I knew there was something wrong with you two. "
The woman sneered, "what, are you going to marry her? How can she help you? As far as I know, her parents are dead, she is just an ordinary person, not even a lover for you, and you want her to be Mrs. Ray? "
Olivia was stunned, she stood up and looked over there. At some distance, she was a little nearsighted, but from the height point of view, the man really looked like Jacob.
Coupled with the fact that Jacob called the woman Miss White, Olivia guessed that she ran into the scene of a quarrel between the leading actor and the supporting actress.
According to the current plot, Jacob and Miss White have broken off their engagement, he realized the importance of Jasmine, but he could not find her at all, nor did he know that she had given birth to a son for him.
Jacob was infuriated by Miss White's words, but he could still control himself. The angrier he was, the calmer his tone was. "Then don't worry about it."
With these words, he left, followed by the sound of high heels. After a while, the parking lot was quiet again. The two people should have gone.
Olivia thought that this novel should have reached the plot expected by readers.
She still remembered watching in her dream. After Jasmine left, Jacob lived in great pain for more than two years, it was not too much to say that he was a walking corpse. He tried his best to find her, and every time he thought there was hope, the result was a disappointment. Frankly speaking, looking at his confusing face, she had a better appetite.
In fact, several times, she wanted to tell Jasmine, told her that Jacob was looking for her, told her that she would marry Jacob in the future, but she swallowed it on the tip of her mouth. She couldn’t be a spoiler. She didn't know the consequences of changing the development of the plot, but she didn't dare to take any chances.
After more than two years of separation, maybe Jacob will cherish Jasmine more. ‘If they are reunited so soon, will Jacob cherish her less?
The existence of the plot is reasonable, she can't change it, and she doesn't dare to change it.’
It was said that after a woman had a child, the husband will be placed in the back, which was quite true for Jasmine.
Before Olivia saw Jasmine, she was occasionally sad and lost, but now it was completely gone. Well, it was understandable that with a child, how could she have the spare time to be sad?
She was extremely busy, and the baby was now Jasmine's motivation and all. With this baby, she would be satisfied. Now Jasmine's greatest wish was to accompany the child and watch him grow up healthily. As for the father of the child, Jasmine has decided to completely forget him and let it go.
Today was the morning baby's celebration party.
He has become fat and white. Like ordinary babies, he ate then slept and ate every day. He cried when he needed to cry and made trouble whenever he wanted to. He was not particularly well-behaved and not particularly annoying.
The conditions were limited, the celebration of this future overbearing president was not grand, even compared to the scale of the rich second generation, it was absurdly shabby.
The baby also put on his new clothes today, because he was full of milk and was willing to be watched by people. He liked Grandma Gill very much and did not resist being held by Grandma Gill.
Jasmine's figure has not fully recovered. After all, she still had to breastfeed the little prince every day, but she was a lot thinner than she was. In Olivia's opinion, she looked better than before.
There were not many people coming, but they could make up a table.
The food was also very rich, there was meat, vegetables and seafood, and cake. Stephen has been bowing his head to eat. He hasn't had such a hearty meal for a long time, but fortunately, no one paid attention to him. Only Olivia knew that he has served three bowls of rice in a row. She guessed he must be usually starving.
It was estimated that they were about the same age, boys usually ate a lot of food.
Everyone's face was brimming with joy when they finished the meal.
Olivia took the initiative to remind Stephen ao his show. Then Stephen held his guitar, sitting not very close to the baby, afraid that the sound will affect his hearing.
Although he just sat on the stool, although it was an old decorated room, he was only wearing a shirt and jeans and flip-flops at will, he was so thin that he could be blown away by a gust of wind, but when he fiddled with the guitar, the silent man seemed to have gathered all the lights and became dazzling.
He had a beautiful voice as if he was born for music.
Even the baby quieted down, and everyone in the room looked at him intently and listened to him sing.
It was a melody that Olivia had never heard before. it was beautiful.
At noon in autumn, the sun with the warm light shined on him through the window and he was immersed in the music.
In such a fast-paced era, his song seemed so out of place, and the artistic conception inside, as well as the beautiful melody of this song, needed people to calm down to feel and appreciate.
When he finished playing and singing this song, Granny Gill was the first to applaud.
Stephen looked up at the people present, and there was an unspeakable feeling that he sang so attentively, but so far, it seemed that they were the only ones who listened attentively.
Olivia, who didn't dream often, started dreaming again that night.
What she dreamed of was also a novel she had never read, saying that it was a novel, but in fact, it was just fragmented.
The story was like this, the hero especially liked music and learned music from an early age, but as we all knew, it cost a lot of money to play music and art, and the family couldn't afford his dream at all, so in a dispute, the hero came to a strange city where he was a stranger. He wanted to start his life there. At first, he was extremely looking forward to being discovered. But he failed again and again. He didn't have much money.
He couldn't go to the street to sing and ask pedestrians to give him money. He couldn't. He also went to the bar to sing, but because the songs he sang were not popular, he was always fired. Because of his appearance, some people asked him to shoot a net drama. Although he was not interested in this, he had to work for life. He wanted to separate his dream from his job.
No one expected that he became famous because of the not-so-fine online drama, and the leading actor was not as popular as him. He began to make TV dramas. God was blessed with him. He was very talented and charming in acting. Very soon he went to act in a movie. Fortunately, when he was less than 30 years old, he became the movie king.
After he was rich and famous, he began to regain his previous dream, and everyone found that he not only acted well but also sang well. Although the recording industry was depressed, he was so popular that everyone would like to buy his concert tickets, so he held a concert. Some people say he was a miracle.
After all, there were too few people who owned beautiful voices and excellent acting skills.
He even became a symbol of the times, and when he became popular, finally people were willing to sit down and listen to him sing.
Olivia felt very confused because the hero of the story she read was Stephen, who lived in the basement.According to the development of the plot, before next year, he would take over to shoot an online drama. The production cycle of the online drama was not long. It can be said that this online drama was an important turning point in Stephen's life. First of all, he got a sum of money that can be used for his daily expenses for a long time. Secondly, it would be broadcast on a certain platform next year. Finally, this online drama was very popular with netizens.The score of the drama was more than that of many first-tier TV dramas.This article did not focus on the love line of the hero, but a woman who did not appear was mentioned frequently. When Stephen was popular for a long time, there was no rumor of an affair. Some people said that before Stephen officially made his debut, he had a girlfriend, who was also his first girlfriend, and he never gave her up,
Unlike Jasmine, Stephen always felt that there were not more good people than bad people in this world. There were not many good guys or bad people in this world. There were more indifferent people in the world, walking in gray areas, neither good nor bad. They were stingy to release goodwill to others, or when others touch their interests, they were even worse than bad guys.However, the grandma and granddaughter he met were an exception.They were really good people.Stephen believed that their life was not so easy, but whether it was Grandma Gill or Olivia in front of him, they all had a soft heart, just like the dumplings in the late autumn night. He was holding this lunchbox and could feel a deep warmth.Of course, he also had self-esteem, which made it impossible for him to ask his parents for money to tide over the difficulties, and he could not accept the kindness of his friends to invite him to stay at home for a period of time. However, it was v
Many people came to the village to rent a house, but there were also many houses here. Since the original tenant moved out, some people have come to see the house one after another.There were two rooms on the third floor, both of which have two bedrooms and one living room. Olivia lived in one with her grandmother, and the other was for rent, which has not yet been rented.However, Granny Gill and Olivia were not in a hurry. They have been landlords for many years. The population of this city was increasing, and not everyone could afford to rent a house in the city. Even if some people could afford to rent, they were not willing to spend too much on rent. So the houses in the village were quite popular.Olivia had no activities on weekends and would take care of Michael with Jasmine. The two were now good friends. Olivia also liked him very much, so she often came to accompany her. Sometimes she even spent the night with her.The baby has now formed a go
This move of Stephen confused Olivia. Even if she wanted to ask something, he had already gone downstairs and went back to his room.Granny Gill went to bed a long time ago. Now she got up and went to the bathroom. When she saw her granddaughter standing in the living room, she asked, "what's the matter?"Olivia took out the packing boxes. There were four of them, which carried some weight.The small one had a bird's nest.The other three big ones had lobster, salt and pepper mantis shrimp, and abalone in. Granny Gill froze at the seafood on the table and hurriedly asked, "who gave them to you?""It's Stephen. He said that he was invited to a dinner and packed them for us. "Olivia couldn't help laughing when she reacted. Stephen must be a little embarrassed that she had sent him food a few times before, but he didn't have any money at the moment. He was still a poor young man. After a seafood meal, he wanted to pack up some delicious food a
Stephen was really dumbfounded right now. ‘The man in front of him said everything, can he still argue, saying that he has no meaning in that regard to Olivia and that he mopped the floor and dumped the trash because he wanted to repay her and her grandma?’ In Stephen’s life, from the beginning of his contact with music, his dream and his life were focused on music, there was no girl or anything. He did not think about it, it was not that no girl has asked him out. But he declined them all. ‘What is this now? He didn't say anything.’ Tim and Stephen actually had nothing to talk about. He gave up Olivia with a lot of determination. He originally thought that although ‘he was not matched with Olivia, he had a sincere heart like gold. Now Well, someone is more sincere and more diligent than him. Does he have any advantages? No more. In addition, Olivia stayed indifferent to him during this period. He knew that Olivia still saved him face. After a
Miss Green exploded as soon as she heard this, "What do you mean? Do you think I really want to take him? Without him, I don't know how much better my life would be. Seriously, I am the one who most wants him to be abducted by human traffickers!" Olivia & Stephen: "…………" She hurriedly glanced at the little boy on the side and saw that there was no emotion on his face, and she was relaxed but still felt frightened. Children were actually very sensitive. Hearing these kinds of words from his mother, it was impossible not to be hurt and sad, but he had no reaction at all, which meant that such verbal injuries were already commonplace for him. Although there were only two people in her family, Olivia’s childhood was very happy. Although her parents were very irresponsible and ran away directly with their money, she remembered that both her father and mother liked her very much. When they were still at home, they always cared for her. Maybe they loved
Time passed quickly, and it was already cold winter unknowingly. Olivia, who was afraid of the coldness, didn’t need Grandma Gill’s repeated instructions and has already consciously put on long trousers. It even began to rain, and it was cold to the bone. Olivia was going to attend the annual meeting today, not only that, but she also assumed the role of host. "I don't want to be a host at all." Olivia was lying on Jasmine's bed with a look of lovelessness, "I have stage phobia, really, I’ll feel deadly embarrassed." Jasmine was looking for something through the boxes and cabinets. She replied when she heard the words: "Then you can tell your boss your thought." "There are not many female colleagues in our company. If I am not a host, I will perform a show. After thinking about it, I should be the host. At least I don't have to dance in front of so many people." "Don't waste your money on buying dresses." Jasmine spent a long time looking for
Olivia reluctantly returned to the room. Jackie was sitting on the sofa with a well-behaved look. He saw her come in. He said very calmly: "Miss Gill, you should have the key. Please open the door for me. I'll just go back to sleep. It's okay."His tone and expression really didn't look like a four or five-year-old child.If Olivia didn’t know, it was okay. Now she knew that this was the case. Whether as a neighbor or as a landlord, she couldn’t let such a small child stay at home alone for one night. If something really happened, what should she do?Olivia sat next to him patiently and said, "Your mother asked you to sleep in my house for one night, do you mind?"Jack lowered his head and played with his fingers, "It's sister, you want me to sleep here for one night, right?"Olivia: "..."‘He is still so young, is his ability of expression and understanding so strong?’"Well, it is very dangerous for a child t
As the Spring Festival approached, it seemed that every tenant was very happy, and the building was brimming with joy. When Olivia was cleaning up the garbage, she found that the corridor was much cleaner. Most of the tenants had already bought tickets to go home and went back to reunite with their families. Coincidentally, in the last few days, only Emily and Jack next door, and Jasmine, and Stephen, who lived in the basement, were left. Little Michael was sleeping soundly at this time, so Jasmine had time to help Granny Gill make dumplings. Granny Gill asked with concern, "everyone else has gone back for the Spring Festival. Do you have no relatives?" Their relationship was already very good, so they could talk about private questions. Jasmine said with a smile, "I have relatives, but I think they are not close. My father died a long time ago, and my grandparents thought that my mother had killed their son and had always been very ba
Emily came back in the afternoon. When she came to Olivia’s house, she didn't find Jack put on new clothes. Olivia found that she had been consciously ignoring her son. Olivia tried to talk to her before, but Emily was very resistant, and Olivia had no choice but to give up. Perhaps for Emily, there was also an unfavorable past. "Thank you so much." Emily was probably in a good mood. She bought a few boxes of freshly baked egg tarts and gave Olivia two boxes. "Actually, just leave the kid freezing outside for one night, he will learn his lesson and dare to go out without a key. Olivia, do you think my shoes look good?" She began to show Olivia her new shoes. Olivia nodded honestly, "It looks pretty, but on such a cold day, wouldn't it be cold for you to wear high heels?" She even felt cold at home and had long taken out the cotton shoes that grandma had made for her before and put on them. "It takes a price to be beautiful." Emily simp
