How audacious Kurt was! Jeremy had warned him not to covet Linda, but he didn't expect that he would still do even with him around.
He could not stand this. Even though they were friends, he still could not allow this happen!
Seeing the ferocious look of Jeremy on the mirror-like kitchen knife, Kurt quickly put down the things in his hand, took off the apron, and handed them to Jeremy. "Don't be angry. As soon as you're here, I'll give the job back to you."
"You'd better know it is me who should do it."
It was a good for him to know that she was his woman.
He had to withdraw his fist.
For the sake of his safety, Kurt had to go out of the kitchen as soon as possible.
As Jeremy stood beside him, he stated seriously, "Those men are not good guys. Stay away from them from now on."
"Don't you know that birds of a feather flock together? You said they were not good guys, so you also are..."
Fiona teased him with a smile.
Her mood turned from gloomy to cheerful suddenly due to his appearance.
There was always a magic power on him, making her feel that life could not be so hard.
"Of course not. I'm different from them. You're the only woman I love in my life. I only love you."
"You..."
He expressed his feeling so suddenly that it made Fiona stunned. Controlling her excitement, she reminded him, "Wash vegetables quickly. Don't give your friends the cold shoulder."
Jeremy lost his temper like a young master of a big family. "I don't want to treat them."
They had come to ruin the beautiful night. They messed up the house as well as the romantic atmosphere for him and Fiona.
He had been looking forward to this night for a long time, and he knew that she was willing to do that tonight.
"Don't be so mean. They are all here to celebrate your birthday."
Jeremy nodded his head reluctantly. He had to prepare the food for the people who had coming. What else could he do?
Everything was simple after boiling the hot pot. Most of the work was done after she washed the vegetables and set the microwave cooker.
They were sitting in the spacious dining room. Rose raised her voice and filled everyone's glass. She said with a smile, "It's not yet 12 o'clock yet. Happy birthday to Jeremy!"
Jeremy took a sip and said, "Thank you."
Ray patted him on his shoulder and rebuked him with discontent, "It's just one glass of wine. When Rose makes a toast to you, you just took a sip! That's not appropriate."
If Rose said that to Ray, he would drink it all. Even it was one whole bottle, he would also not refuse. Unfortunately, he knew he would never have the chance.
"I got married. My wife doesn't allow me to drink too much."
'Jeremy, you are such a bad guy!' Fiona did not expect Jeremy said that.
Almost all of his friends turned their attention to Fiona. She felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole on the ground to bury herself.
It was so embarrassing. When did she stop him from drinking too much?
She was getting blamed for it.
'I'm innocent...'
Jeremy put a piece of tofu onto her plate and said, "The tofu tastes good. Eat more."
"Jeremy, I think it's your favorite," said Kurt, joking
"…… A refined scum." Jeremy cast a glance at Kurt. How couldn't he keep silent?
The group had a joyful dinner. Listening to their conversation, Fiona got to know a lot of interesting things about Jeremy.
When they had enough wine, the group began to talk without any scruples.
"Hey, Jeremy has been married. Even if you are his friend, you can't disturb him tonight," Kurt said to Rose patiently. In fact, he had tried his best to persuade her and told her that Jeremy had been together with another woman.
She had been in the entertainment industry for many years and had made a lot of love stories, She should understand this simple rule.
With hesitation, Rose had no choice but to go out.
She was unwilling to be isolated outside.
She swore to herself that one day, she would be the hostess of Jeremy's family.
The group went downstairs to breathe some fresh air and woke up.
Looking back at the scene that Rose's eyes were glued to the upstairs, Ray felt sorry for her. He walked up to her and comforted her, "Don't be sad. You will have a chance in the future. But Jeremy doesn't appreciate your kindness for the time being."
"Am I really good?" Rose deliberately asked with tears in her eyes. When people were depressed, they wanted sympathy and resonance.
There was no doubt that Ray was the best choice.
"Are you leaving or not?" Kurt asked them when he saw Rose and Ray were still standing there and talking. "If not, we'll go back to the hotel first."
"Well, you go back to the hotel first."
Ray waved his hand. He also wanted to be together with Rose.
Rose and Ray walked along the road. It was very hot these days. Ray drank a lot and smelt like alcohol. He waved his hands like a fan and tried to comfort her, "Don't think too much."
Rose hugged him tightly, tears uncontrollably coming out of her eyes, "How could I not think about him? Ray, you promised me you would help me. When can you help me to get Jeremy? I can't live without him. I only want him all my life."
She only wanted to marry Jeremy, because he was better than any other men.
"Rose, let's go. Don't stay here."
It made Ray's heart ache to keep her here, which would only make her more embarrassed.
Rose flung her arms around his neck and looked at him with seductive eyes, "Ray, do you think I'm attractive?"
