“I’m an old friend of her mother. This girl has a good appearance and a good career, she is a very good girl.” Mrs. Daisy Tranco said with a smile: “Judging from the fact that you came back so late, you must have had a good time together, right?”
Tristan couldn’t help but think of Willa.
The first time he saw her was on the plane, where he saw her saving a premature baby without any distractions, and she didn’t give up even when her hands were trembling. At that time, he just remembered her face and thought more highly of her.
But tonight, he really got to know Willa…
He was thinking about this when he heard Mrs. Daisy Franco’s question again, and he blurted out: “It’s good.”
Unexpectedly, the next thing he heard was Mrs. Daisy Franco’s delighted voice: “That’s great, remember to bring her home in two days.”
Tristan frowned, and then realized: “Mom, we haven’t agreed to date yet.”
Mrs. Daisy Franco looked at him: “Then you can’t invite her over for a meal?”
It also depends on whether Willa is available and willing, Tristan thought to himself.
But in the whole family, the person he was least good at dealing with was Mrs. Daisy Franco.
“Let’s see later,” Tristan replied ambiguously, stood up and prepared to go back to his room: “I have a video conference at the company, I have to go and deal with it first.”
“Rest early, Mom.”
After saying this, Mrs. Daisy Franco was stunned for a moment, and just as she was about to say something to him, Tristan had already gone upstairs.
After returning to the room and finishing the video conference, Tristan closed the laptop and couldn’t help but think about what his mother had been nagging about.
The image of that thin but resolute figure flashed through his mind.
As soon as the thought arose, Tristan suppressed it.
He just remembered that every time he met or saw Willa, something unexpected would happen.
The corners of Tristan’s lips unconsciously curled up a little.
A week later.

Chapter 20
I brought the gifts I had prepared half a month in advance to celebrate Annie’s birthday.
There were also many classmates who had known each other since high school at the banquet.
During the meal, it was inevitable to ask about each other’s recent situation. One of the friends exclaimed when he
knew that I had divorced:
“You finally got Joey after so much effort, and you two finally got married, why did you divorce?”
Annie clicked her tongue unhappily: “I rarely interacted with him before, thinking that Joey was out of reach and flawless, but now that I know more, I find that he is not that great after all.”
The friends at the table immediately smelled the taste of gossip and asked one after another what happened.
“Everyone knows that you liked Joey so much back then, why did you divorce so easily?”
“I thought that after being married for so long, you should have had a baby at least.”
I took a sip of wine, saw that everyone was looking at me, sighed, and vaguely said:
“It’s actually nothing, we just don’t have feelings and can’t go on.”
I didn’t want to reveal too many private matters, because it would not only be embarrassing for Joey, but also for
- me.
I don’t want to show some of the unpleasantness and embarrassment in front of everyone.
Fortunately, this topic was quickly replaced by the interesting things from our school days, and everyone cheered together to celebrate Annie’s birthday, temporarily forgetting all the unpleasantness.
In the evening, my classmates were taken away one by one, and those who didn’t drink also drove home.
I took a sip of wine, saw that everyone was looking at me, sighed, and vaguely said:
