In the next day.
"I will show you something." Dan William suddenly reminds of something. Then he opens the drawer, and then hands a picture to Jamie Moore.
"Bruce Hill always wears this necklace. He said that he pulled it from Joey Lan's wrist before he lost his sense, and later he also finds Joey Lan by this.” Dan William says.
Jamie Moore looks at that necklace on the picture, and then she presses her lips.
Wendy’s parents bought the Sapphire Bracelet at a high price. And they send it to Wendy on Wendy’s seventeenth..
That gem is very famous. It's carved into the shape of a snowflake, because Wendy's birthday is in winter. They even ask someone to dig a small hole in the middle, and a piece of rice with Wendy’s name engraved on the middle of the hole.
Duke Field is really stupid....He is so stupid. He recognizes the wrong person, and he even finds other woman with Wendy’s necklace.
"This is Wendy’s bracelet. This gem is unique. We can't find a second one!" Jamie Moore holds it and says excitedly.
In this way, Duke Field really recognizes the wrong person.
"What do you want to do?" Dan William takes the photo back. When they are still at school, they take this picture. Dan William has been collecting it.
"Of course, we should tell this to Duke Field. It's not fair to Wendy!"
Dan William presses her lips, and then he looks at her, “If you tell this to Duke Field, will he believe this?”
Jamie Moore looks at him in a puzzled way, and the excitement in her eyes disappear gradually.
"In the eyes of Duke Field, Joey Lan is what he persists from the beginning. If he knows his persistence is wrong all the time, he will lose himself." Dan William walks to the front of Jamie Moore as he says, and then he rubs Jamie Moore’s hair.
Jamie Moore is a little reluctant. "But, Wendy…"
"Does Wendy still love Duke Field?"
"Wendy says that she will give up Duke Field...Do you mean? Jamie Moore says. She suddenly understands the meaning of Dan William.
If she tells this to Wendy, it would be the second hurt to her. If she tells this to Duke Field, it would bring a collapse of faith to him. Both would be the harm for them.
"Shouldn’t we do something? Do you have any idea? "Jamie Moore wrinkles her nose.
He must have an idea.
Dan William sits back to the chair, and then he coughs lightly, “Do you want to know what I think?”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Jamie Moore nods quickly. She walks to Dan William, and then she beats Dan William’s shoulder with expectation.
"Let it be." Dan William narrows his eyes comfortably with a languid and casual attitude.
What's the answer?
Jamie Moore changes her expression suddenly.
The sound of knocking the door raises. Then Dan William says, “Please come in."
Secretary Sam comes in with a stack of documents in her arms, and she puts them on his desk. "Mr. William, this is the research report of spring and summer."
Dan William nods, and then he says,“OK, you can leave now.”
"OK." Secretary Sam takes a step back. She glances at Jamie Moore, and then she leaves the office.
"What about your design?" Dan William looks at the report as he says.
Jamie Moore shrinks her neck, “It’s almost finished, and I will go now!” then she opens the door and rushes out.
...
Time is like a fleeting, and it soon comes to the end of October. It’s the day that Jamie Moore needs to hand the finished design, and it’s also the engagement banquet for Harriet Chris and Jason Frank.
After handing the design, Jamie Moore feels very relax. Thus she invites Wendy to shop with her.
"Yes, sometime I have a stomachache, and this medicine is very useful.” Wendy pretends that she is very relaxed. She unscrews the cap, and pours out some pills in the cap and hands them to Duke Field. "Here you are."
Duke Field picks them without any hesitation. Usually, he never eats the food given by other people, but today he doesn’t refuse this.
He puts the medicine on his mouth, and then he swallows it down.
"Thank you." His throat is very dry, and his voice is very hoarse, but it’s warmer than usual.
"You're welcome." Wendy’s heart jumps for a several times. Although she knows that she should not love Duke Field anymore, she can’t control herself.
The atmosphere becomes silent suddenly. Duke Field leans against the street lamp with a touch of sadness on his face.
Wendy bites her lips, and she feels that her heart is painful. Thus she asks, “Have you quarreled with Joey Lan?”
She doesn’t know how to treat Duke Field coldly. She has been in this habit for several years, and she can’t get it off suddenly.
Duke Field is a little embarrassed as if other people can read his mind. Then he looks at Wendy, “Do you know Joey Lan well?”
Wendy presses her lips and then she ridicules. But since Duke Field asks this question, he must want to know something from her. Thus she answers, “Yes, I know.”
"She refused my proposal. Do you know the reason?" Duke Field looks at Wendy with expectation.
"Maybe she doesn't like the gift." Wendy says. Joey Lan loves Duke Field. What Duke Field gives is proposal gift. Except that Joey Lan doesn’t like this, she doesn’t know other reason about this.
Duke Field murmurs, “Is there anyone else who doesn't like what belongs to her?"
"You are going to engage, aren’t you?" The more Wendy thinks, the more strange she feels. She really doesn’t know the true reason. “Why did she refuse your proposal gift?"
Why does Joey Lan refuse Duke Field?
Duke Field nods,“Originally, she wants to refuse the engagement.
Has the sun set to the south end?
