Sure enough she doesn't want to make Macie become a poor girl without parents.
Because Macie is her daughter.
No matter how cruel she is, she doesn't want to make her daughter become a poor girl without parents.
However...
What should she do right now?
Sunny shakes one of her hands and says, "Please, don't talk to me like this." She kneads her temples with her hands, "I have no choice right now."
"Sunny..."
"Well, stop talking about it. Would you like to have dinner together with us?" Sunny interrupts him, because she doesn't want to talk about it anymore.
Troy signs and then nods, "Well, we would like to stay here and have dinner with you if you don't mind."
...
As Brian invites her sincerely, Annie takes a walk with him outside the coffee shop.
It is already dusk. Although it is hot in summer in R City, it is a little cooler at dusk.
They walk on the road built along the river, and they feel cool with the breeze.
H Street was built a few years ago. At that time, it was far from being as prosperous as it is now in R City. Compared to the capital where many big families are located, R City is really very bleak.
And the road they are walking on is also near to the coffee shop.
"Annie, how old are you?" Brian suddenly asks her.
After a while, Annie replies, "I am 22."
Twenty-two years have passed in a flash.
Annie feels a bit sad, and she also realizes that she has grown up.
Compared to those girls who are teenagers, she is more mature.
Brian raised his eyebrows, "You just graduated from college, right?"
Annie nods, "I graduated in June this year."
Now it's August, she just graduated for more than one month.
"What's your job now?" He asks her again.
She seems to perceive that Brian is deliberately alleviating the embarrassment between them and the misunderstandings that have occurred at the ball before, and Annie immediately answers him with a better attitude.
"Now... I am an editor." She touches her chin and looks nice when she talks about her job.
Brian is a little surprised, "Are you a text editor?"
"Yes. But more specifically, editor in charge."
"Do you work in a newspaper office?" Brian realizes that he knows nothing about her life.
Annie shakes her head and it seems that she is a bit embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, she says, "No. Do you know network literature?"
Network literature?
It isn't the first time he hears this word. Although he has heard of network literature over the years, he has never known more about it. Therefore, when Annie talks about it, he actually finds it a bit interesting.
He nods, "I've heard about it before."
Well, that's good.
"I am an editor of network literature." Annie explains it to him carefully, "I am not a text editor in the newspaper office or a publishing company. Compared with such kind of text editor, we are more like a vulnerable group as an editor of network literature."
"Because this is an emerging industry."
"Now network literature is slowly developing, and this industry is slowly gaining attention in society. In time, it will be a very promising industry!"
She looks so happy when she talks about her job.
Her eyes are shining like stars.
She attracts Brian so much.
He nods with agreement, "I also think that it will be a very promising industry in the future."
Annie smiles happily when she hears that.
Suddenly, she thinks about something and then says, "Well...Brian, I am sorry for what I did in the pub a few days ago..."
He smiles and looks at her gently. He wants to touch her head with his hand. However, he is afraid that he will make her scared, so he doesn't do that.
He says gently, "It doesn't matter."
Annie feels better when he says that.
"Do you come from R city?"
They walk for a long distance while talking. And Brian suddenly asks her about it.
Annie thinks about it for a while and then smiles, "No, I don't come from R city. Do you think I look like a rich woman?"
She laughs, and her eyes look so beautiful.
Brian doesn't understand and asks, "Why do you say that?"
Annie looks serious and then says, "Because R City is now listed as a first-tier city, the people who can live here and live well are wealthy."
"Moreover, the local residents of R City are now very rich."
