Jessie nodded and shook her head, "There was surprise but no joy."
Lorenzo was amused by her distinctive reply, making him laugh out loud, and it took a while before he stopped, "Jessie, you're really cute."
The corner of Jessie's mouth twitched, "Well ...... Mr. Hayes, why did you suddenly come to my home?"
This person called her by the name of Jessie as if they knew each other well.
But they were strangers who had only met once.
"Mr. Hayes?" Before Lorenzo could say anything, Jessie’s mother glared at Jessie unhappily, "Have you really forgotten that this is Lorenzo?"
"I know his name is Lorenzo, but why say I forgot?" Jessie was full of confusion.
When Jessie’s mother couldn't help but sigh, "You girl, you really have a poor memory."
"It's not Jessie's fault, after all, we were separated for twenty years, she was still young at that time, it's normal for her not to remember me." Lorenzo smiled, then approached Jessie and extended his hand towards her, "Jessie, after twenty years, we are finally reunited, please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Lorenzo. Twenty years ago, I was your neighbor."
"Twenty years ago, Lorenzo ......" Jessie whispered, and slowly, some memory fragments came towards her mind.
Her mouth opened wide in surprise and she pointed at Lorenzo, "You ...... Lorenzo!"
"Remember now?" A hint of joy flashed in Lorenzo's eyes.
Jessie nodded repeatedly, "I remember, we used to be best friends when we were kids, I used to follow you around, but you moved away with your parents when you were ten. Lorenzo, how did you become so tall and handsome? Obviously you were still a little chubby when you were a kid."
She reached out her hand and grabbed both of Lorenzo's arms and kept measuring them, her face full of excitement and surprise.
Lorenzo pretended to laugh bitterly, "Hey, hey, you don't remember anything, but you do remember exactly how fat I looked when I was a kid, right?"
Jessie laughed heatedly, "Sorry, Lorenzo, I am just too excited, don't be angry."
"I'm not angry, how can I be angry with you?" Lorenzo stroked her hair.
Jessie raised her hand and touched the place he had touched, "Right, Lorenzo, did you recognize me last time?"
"Yeah." Lorenzo nodded with a generous acknowledgement.
Jessie’s mother saw the two recognized each other, smiled gratefully and turned to the kitchen to make tea, leaving the place for the two youngsters to have a chat.
"You recognized me and you're still hiding it from me and acting as a stranger to comfort me, it's too much!" Jessie pouted, feigning displeasure.
Lorenzo smiled apologetically, "Sorry, sorry, I just wanted to see if you could recognize me, but it turns out that you really didn't recognize me at all."
"Hmph, you didn't tell me directly, it's all excuses." Jessie bristled.
Lorenzo helplessly spread his hands, "Okay, my fault, how about I give you a gift, don't be angry, okay?"
He fished a small, delicately wrapped gift box out of his pocket and handed it to her.
Jessie didn't refuse and reached out to take it.
When you meet a gift, you don't usually refuse it, and if you do, the person giving it will be unhappy.
"Lorenzo, I didn't prepare a gift for you, I'll make it up for you next time." Jessie looked at Lorenzo and said in an embarrassing manner.
Lorenzo smiled carelessly, "It doesn't matter, you remembered me, it's the best gift for me."
Jessie snorted, "Lorenzo, you're so sweet, your girlfriend must have been made very happy by you, right?"
