Michael Huo got up early the next morning.
He was afraid that George Mo might perceive or feel confused.
So he waited early in the living room that Aunt Mu had to get up early to prepare breakfast.
The door of the guest room was finally opened after a while.
George Mo came out in a simple white T-shirt.
Michael Huo wanted to greet him but then he felt it was not the right timing that he just stood there to stretch his limbs.
"Eh? Why did you get up this early?” George Mo saw him and then stopped to inquire.
Michael Huo turned around to see him with a throughout sight and said "Well, I felt a little bit hungry that I couldn’t sleep well so I guess I might have my breakfast earlier this morning”.
George Mo nodded and looked to the kitchen when Aunt Mu was serving their breakfast.
Michael Huo quickly said to him, "Come on, how about having breakfast together?”
"Alright!”
They sat across each other and Michael Huo ate porridge and peeked him.
"Hiss…” George Mo just took a mouthful of porridge and reached out his hand to rub his temple involuntarily.
"What’s wrong?”
"Nothing, I just feel a little bit headache. Well, how did I come back last night?” George Mo stared at him and asked, "Why was I at home when I woke up? And my clothes…”
These were Michael Huo’s sleeping suits, how could he put those on?
Aunt Mu just came at this moment and uttered with a smile, "Mr. Mo, you drank a lot last night and your friend sent you back. You vomited all over your clothes, so I took these from Mr. Huo’s room for you. But I didn’t clean you last night, it was our bodyguard.”
Michael Huo lowered his head and ate his breakfast. He made Aunt Mu to say these words to that guy.
George Mo nodded and said embarrassedly "I’m sorry for troubling you.”
"It doesn’t matter,” Aunt Mu smiled "you may drink less wine, Mr. Mo. That’s not good for your health!”
George Mo hurried to nod "Don’t worry. I won’t drink any in the future.”
On seeing this, Michael Huo felt slightly relieved as that guy seemed to know what had happened.
Then he looked at him and asked "Do you want to visit anywhere in Austral City this time?”
George Mo was stuck that he looked at Michael Huo in doubt.
"Jennifer is getting married tomorrow, so I will be free the day after tomorrow. Linda couldn’t sleep well these days as many problems have happened. I wonder if I could take her to some ‘familiar’ places for her to be in a better mood.”
George Mo frowned slightly and pondered over the definition of "familiar place...”
After a while, he looked at Michael Huo "How about Phoenix City. She had lived there for more than ten years after all.”
"Well, that’s a deal. Let’s go back to Phoenix City together after Jennifer’s wedding ceremony. Um, I heard Kui is also from there, we can take her with us!”
He was afraid that George Mo would refuse and worried about that he might interfere them.
So it’s better to bring Kui with them.
"Alright” George Mo smiled faintly "I returned in a hurry last time, and didn’t go to any place familiar!”
Michael Huo smiled back as he noticed his expression.
Nevertheless, he still had some worries.
How to treat with this depression?
And how to enable him to completely put his burdens down?
——————
The next day.
The news of Jennifer Huo’s hasty wedding spread all over Austral City the day before.
People didn’t understand why the date of the ceremony changed over and over again.
Could it be that…
She’s pregnant?
The Huo’s didn’t give any response for all these doubts.
Even the Ding’s didn’t give a word.
No matter what the public talked about, the Ding’s and the Huo’s both families were going to hold the wedding ceremony as scheduled.
Richard Qu was brought back by his father the day before.
Michael Huo got the phone call last afternoon. He was told that they had arrived home safely and they promise that they would never allow Richard Qu to come back to the Austral City again.
In the room on the third floor.
Linda Yun was there with her.
She looked stunningly beautiful today.
But…
Her face, which supposed to smile, was covered with tears.
Linda Yun felt pity for her, she took out paper towel instantly to wipe her tears gently and said "Don’t cry, you are getting married today. It’s a red-letter day and you shouldn’t cry.”
Jennifer Huo looked at Linda Yun in tears "Sister, am I getting married?”
Linda Yun also felt extremely painful as she looked into her reddened and swollen eyes.
"Yes, you’re going to get married. So, be happy, okay?”
Jennifer Huo looked down whose of tears fell onto the floor "Be happy? Right, people say that… You will feel happy when you marry someone, but…” She looked up at her with her eyes filled with endless agony "I’m not happy at all, I feel sad…here”, she pointed to her heart "it’s full of pain…”
Linda Yun’s heart ached inexplicably. She grabbed her hand "Jennifer, please don’t think so. I tell you that everything can’t satisfy both sides in the world, as for you and him...”
She didn’t know how to continue.
Three years ago, she deliberately let her see the truth.
But why she still sank into the vicious circle again?
