After scrolling for a long time, Joshua finally found Sylvia's number. He hadn't spoken to her before, so he had to start a new conversation.Joshua suddenly remembered how he'd asked her why her profile picture was of a cup of coffee."I like it," Sylvia said matter-of-factly."You should drink less coffee."Joshua: [Do you want to come to our house for the holidays?]Time passed, but Sylvia did not reply.He guessed that she might not have heard him. After all, many activities were going on. It'd be better if she hadn't heard him and didn't show up. If she were to come over, it'd be awkward because they knew nothing about each other."Have you invited her?" Damien stared at Joshua sharply."Yeah.""You sent her a WhatsApp message?""Yeah.""She might not be able to hear you if you texted her. I'll call their house."Joshua was speechless.After Damien hung up, he said, "She'll be here soon."Joshua was still lost for words.The entire Lawrence family sat down together
"Isobel, he just got here. Why are you asking him to bake cupcakes?" Calvin asked. He had already arranged a room for Hugo and asked him to put his luggage upstairs first."Dad, he wants to," Isobel said to Calvin with a smile."As long as it's Isobel wants me to do it, I'll do it," Hugo said."See?" Isobel looked smug.Calvin felt that Hugo's words had a deeper meaning. In the past, he didn't really understand what kind of person Hugo was and felt that he was someone who was amorous and knew how to lure others into traps. Now, however… it looked like Hugo was a romantic at heart.That was a relief. Besides, now that he was a Meranian, Calvin couldn't be any happier.Isobel and Hugo looked at each other with love in their eyes. There was no room for anyone else. Calvin left the kitchen and went to the living room.…Earlier, Sylvia had pulled Celeste to the sofa to talk. After Dexter came over, Sylvia found out about their relationship. She let go of Celeste's hand awkwardly.
The message was short and simple. [Happy New Year.]It was from Zoe.Joshua was stunned and did not say a word. He knew it was a group message and had probably been sent by her assistant, but he couldn't help being affected by it.Seeing that Joshua didn't answer, Sylvia was quite disappointed and continued to read."What did you just say?" Joshua raised his head and asked."I asked why you had these books.""I used to be a director for a play in school," he said casually.He had been busy with family matters last night and had not slept for almost the entire night. He was a little sleepy and wanted to sleep.However, he was the one who pulled Sylvia into the room, so he should accompany her. Fortunately, she didn't need to accompany him and read quietly alone.Perhaps because she couldn't find any other books she liked, so she checked the time and sighed in relief. "It's 10:00 p.m. I should get going.""Alright, I'll drive you," Joshua said. He was very gentlemanly.His car
"Hugo, why couldn't I find you? Why didn't you answer my call?" Isobel held his arm, her anxiety obvious."My phone ran out of battery. It's conspicuous here, so you can see me," Hugo said.She hugged him and cried tears of joy.He stroked her back and said, "Let's get married."This surprised her. "When?""In the summer. I'll buy a house here in a few days and set up a branch company here," Hugo said calmly. "I came to Merania this time with the intention of looking at houses. You like Meranian snacks, Meranian porcelain, and Meranian tea. So, I plan to come to Merania."Isobel felt like crying again. "But you don't like these things. Even if you do, I forced it on you.""But I like you. I like everything you like," Hugo said as he caressed Isobel's face with his right hand.In the crowded streets, she hugged him, feeling overwhelmed. "Okay, let's get married.""I want to save the most important thing for after the wedding. I want to savor that," Hugo added."As you wish."
It had been a long time since Celeste had spoken to Dexter in such a caring tone. Dexter was very emotional. His eyes lit up as he asked Celeste, "Do you care?"This made her want to ignore him. "If you want to answer, then answer. If you don't want to answer, then forget it.""I'm fine. Let's go."He held her hand. She didn't break free and allowed him to hold her.After returning home, Hugo told the rest of the Lawrence family about his plans to marry Isobel. As for the wedding, he would leave it up to the adults.There was one thing that Calvin was not sure about. Had Hugo and Isobel slept together already?Isobel had never spent the night outside, and their relationship was considered long-distance."Alright, I'll handle the rest. You guys don't need to worry about a thing," Calvin said.He asked Hugo for his parents' number. Their marriage had to be blessed by both sets of parents.Calvin figured he'd speak to Hugo's parents after the holidays.However, during this perio
When Jacob was studying, he had a regular schedule every day. He trained outdoors and had a tan. Coupled with his upright figure, he was extremely attractive when he stood there. Moreover, his standing posture was completely different from the sloppy look of ordinary security guards. He was very impressive, causing more people to look at him.Other than himself, his family was quite worried about him.He did not care about the covetous gazes of those women.…Ever since Hugo left, Isobel missed him very much. The two of them chatted on WhatsApp every day and would talk about everything under the sun, including cheesy and racy things.They would also talk about sex. Isobel always said that she missed him.Hugo would ask her which part of him she missed the most.Even through the screen, Isobel's face would gradually turn red. [How can you be so naughty?]Hugo knew from Isobel's words that she was not as open-minded as she sounded. She was ignorant and was too embarrassed to talk
Soon, Isobel received a collection of designs for wedding gowns and accessories. They were all custom-made.Hugo said that she could choose multiple accessories or "all of them".Ashlyn felt that he really doted on Isobel."Isobel, has Hugo never been in a relationship before?" she asked."I don't think so. He had a fiancée, but that was an arranged marriage."Ashlyn smiled. "That's good. It looks like he's given you all his enthusiasm."Isobel smiled shyly. She did not expect that someone as good at sweet talking as Hugo would still be a virgin…She cherished him very much.She couldn't wait for the wedding to arrive and counted the days. Time seemed to pass slower than usual…On the 26th of March, the day had finally come. The Lawrence family arrived in Deltz.The bridesmaid and best man were Celeste and Dexter, respectively.Celeste's attitude towards Dexter was much better now. After all, Dexter had always given way to her and treated her like a princess.Sometimes, Ned
Now, Isobel and Hugo were living a peaceful life as husband and wife. Every night, they would look at each other with loving eyes as if they could not resist each other. After that, Hugo would carry Isobel upstairs…In short, these days, they were glued at the hip.When they returned to Genovia for the wedding, Isobel's eyes were visibly bright, and her face was rosy. She was charming.Sylvia had also returned from Emmeria for their wedding.She didn't go to the wedding in Deltz last time because she had a lot of things to do in school. She also missed a lot of classes, so she had to make many trips to the library for a long time.After returning to the Lawrence family, she instinctively looked for Joshua.Although she was not familiar with him, she was even more unfamiliar with the Lawrence family. Celeste was busy meeting with the publishing house for "Possession 2" and was also Isobel's bridesmaid. She was very busy. In comparison, at least Sylvia had interacted with Joshua be
Benjamin walked to her side and suddenly hugged her. It was as if there were thousands of words that could not be said. Jacey did not refute. It was as if the two of them had known each other for a long time. It was as if they had known each other for a long time."Your mother did a good job with this exhibition," Jacey said."It's good. After all, you're an expert in this field," Benjamin said. "Or if you have any requests when you get married, tell my mother and let her customize the most beautiful jewelry for you.""Married?" Jacey didn't understand.She had never thought about marriage. Why did she feel so close to her when Benjamin mentioned it?She still felt quite confused."I'll treat you to a meal later?" Benjamin said. "What do you want to eat?"Jacey's eyes lit up. "Hotpot? How about a hotpot?"Benjamin smiled and said, "I thought you had a profound hobby. This is it."Jacey smiled again.Jacey didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by people, so she chose the
Kenny smoked as he spoke. He had the look of a veteran in society. It was hard not to believe that he was a nouveau riche who did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of his subordinates to save money."Sir, you've found the right person. Come and take a look." The workshop owner said. Then, he whispered a few words into Kenny's ear and asked, "Can you accept it?""What's so unacceptable about that? I'm definitely showing it to Party A. These people grew up in the countryside. What kind of milk have they drunk? I can't tell if it's true or not," Kenny said."Alright, alright," the workshop owner said with a smile."Just don't make it obvious. I'll go take a look at the manufacturing workshop." Kenny said.The owner of the workshop was initially quite shy, but Kenny said that he had ordered a lot, so the other party agreed.As soon as he entered the workshop, Jacey secretly turned on the pinhole camera when the workshop owner was not paying attention and filmed the production proce
Jacey felt that under Kenny's serious and unsmiling appearance, there was a soft and warm heart.This note looked like it had been around for a long time. It was unknown how long Kenny searched last night before he found it and gave it to Jacey so easily.Jacey left.However, she did not expect that something would happen on her first day there.She brought a vacuum camera and made her clothes look like rural women's. After finding the milk production point, she said that she wanted to order milk in large quantities because she heard that the milk here was very cheap.The people in the workshop looked at each other and said, "I'm not selling!"The people in the workshop were very smart and vigilant. Their workshop had a fixed delivery channel. This woman was alone and was unlikely to be here to order. They found an excuse and sent Jacey away.No matter how much Jacey dawdled, the other party refused to let her in.For a moment, Jacey didn't know what to do. She was quite depres
Jacey was a little stunned. She really didn't know much about what the parents were talking about.Moreover, she hadn't interacted with Benjamin for a few days. Moreover, when Ashlyn came to visit this time, she didn't say a word about him. It made her feel very uneasy. She even wondered if he didn't mean that at all. It was all her own wishful thinking…For the past few days, Benjamin had not come to look for Jacey. She had not contacted him either.However, a few days later, Jacey received a Whatsapp message from Benjamin. There were many photos. It was a rather high-class living room. There were boxes in the living room. The living room was simple and noble, like a top-notch courtyard house.[This is the showroom and display cabinet for my mother's medieval jewelry. How about letting your mother take a look?] Benjamin said.[Where is this place? This place is so beautiful.][My mother's dowry. The courtyard house in Genovia.] Benjamin said.Jacey thought to herself, "As expec
Today, Benjamin had already returned home."How is it? How's your first time meeting your in-laws alone?" Calvin teased Ashlyn."It's quite good. I'm preparing to hold a medieval jewelry exhibition and then let my employees learn medieval video skills. I said that I wanted to use their jewelry as an exhibition, but they didn't even want the deposit. How generous," Ashlyn said lazily as she leaned against the sofa."It's… it's over?" Calvin looked at Ashlyn and said in surprise.Benjamin sat there and smiled."What else?" Ashlyn asked."What are you going to do this time? Aren't you going to look for your daughter-in-law? Did you see what she looked like?" Calvin poured a cup of tea for Ashlyn.After so many years, Ashlyn still hadn't changed from her usual macho self. In fact, she was even more macho than before. Perhaps Calvin had been the one to deal with everything after marriage, developing Ashlyn's habit of not using her brain.Of course, it only meant that she didn't use
For some reason, Ashlyn felt like crying when she saw this. In the past, these jewelry had traveled to another country. Now, these jewelry were all back with stories.She thought about how the person who owned these jewelry had brought them overseas and brought them back…She felt that the Irving family was worthy of admiration.Linda had gone out at some point. Seeing that Ashlyn was looking at her very seriously, she didn't disturb her.When she came in again, she was carrying a cup of coffee. The fragrant Americano she'd just ordered from the coffee machine on the first floor. It was made from good coffee beans.She handed the coffee to Ashlyn."Have a cup of coffee when you're tired. Anyway, these jewelry don't have long legs. They won't run away on their own," Linda said. "You can come and take a look whenever you want. I've always been here."Only then did Ashlyn feel that she had been watching for an hour or two, but she had always been like a pious primary school student
On Saturday afternoon, Ashlyn drove to Jacey's house, a very simple villa.Ashlyn knew that writers liked to live in such a quiet place because they had inspiration in such a place.Jacey's mother, Linda, was already standing on her steps to welcome her.Linda was dressed in a Chinese-style robe. She looked very ancient, but because she was slender, she looked especially good. She looked like a fairy.Ashlyn was dressed in a very fashionable modern outfit. She was wearing a knee-length skirt, pearl earrings, and earrings. She looked especially round and beautiful. One look and one could tell that she was the kind of person who had never experienced the blow of life."I'm Jacey's mother. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Conrad." Linda reached out and held Isobel's hand. "Jacey said that you're coming to our house to take a look. I am so happy. I specially brought all the jewelry from the other houses here and packed them up. If these jewelry can be displayed in the exhibition and let everyon
"Excuse me, how did you know about me?" Jacey asked."Oh, Benjamin's phone was on the table that day. He went to the washroom and I happened to see the photo album he was looking through. I picked it up and saw these few pieces of jewelry. You know it too. As jewelry makers, we won't let go of those rare jewelry no matter what. I asked Benjamin where these pieces of jewelry came from and he told me about you," Ashlyn said neither servile nor overbearing.She understood a girl's mentality very well. She knew that if the woman found out that the man had taken the initiative to leak her news to her parents, she would be very disgusted and feel passive. Therefore, she did not say that. Instead, she said that she had seen it herself. She even said that Benjamin was looking at these photos at that time.Jacey's heart would probably feel warm. After all, a man was looking at her photo behind her back. She should have a good impression of this man.Jacey really thought so. When she heard A
After Benjamin returned home, he showed Ashlyn the jewelry he had taken for Jacey.Ashlyn was very knowledgeable. One look at this jewelry and she knew that it was priceless.Moreover, the girl wearing the jewelry also had extremely good skin and was extremely delicate.Calvin, who was sitting at the side, also watched.However, Ashlyn didn't just look at the jewelry. She said, "You only bought jewelry. Who is this person wearing jewelry behind you?"Ashlyn asked Benjamin gossipily."Don't ask," Benjamin said.Ashlyn smiled. "You said that you only took photos of the jewelry but didn't take photos of her. Aren't you trying to arouse my curiosity? Now that I'm curious, you're not making a move. However, I've been working on researching National Jewelry recently, so I'm lacking samples in this area. When are you going to ask this girl out? Let me take a closer look. From her appearance, I think she's dressed very well. Moreover, I can see her face from her bone structure. I think
