The ball continued downstairs.
She was not in the mood to stay.
She passed through the crowd and came to the outside of the hall.
She didn't know where her brother had gone and she didn't know where she should go.
The garden downstairs was completely dark.
She sat alone on the carved iron chair in the garden.
Her palm still carried the warmth of the man.
She pressed her fingertips on her lips.
Her lips were red and swollen.
But he said that he just mistook her for someone else...
This was her first kiss.
There were a few people running in and out of the hall.
Nancy lowered her head and didn't raise her head until another pair of crystal like shoes appeared in her sight.
In her sight, there was a face with the same astonishment.
The woman was quite good-looking and had a pair of straight eyebrows, which made her a little heroic.
More importantly, the woman's clothes were very similar to hers. The sky blue princess dress, the low chest, and the smooth skin...
"You..." The two of them spoke at the same time.
While Nancy was still blinking her eyes, the woman asked first, "Are you Nancy Nelson?"
"Uh... Yes, I am... " Nancy was still confused.
"Great! I found you." The woman sat beside her.
She pulled up the hemline of her dress, looking extremely unrestrained. With a pull of her handbag in the same color, she took out her mobile phone.
"Your brother is looking for you crazily." Cherry dialed the number of Jacob.
After a few hasty words, she quickly ended the call, turned her head and smiled at Nancy, "Hello, I'm a friend of Jacob. My name is Cherry."
Nancy opened and closed her mouth, "Ah... Oh... " She was completely out of her mind.
"Where have you been? Your brother has lost you and is looking for you all over the world. He will show up in less than three minutes. " Said Cherry with a smile. She seemed to be familiar with her as if they had known each other for a long time.
Nancy frowned.
Where did she go?
Could she say that she was "snatched" upstairs by a man, kissed crazily, and was driven out again?
Seeing that she didn't look well, Cherry didn't force her, "Are you thirsty? Wait for him here. I'll bring you some drinks. "
She thought, maybe, as for where she had gone, she was only willing to share it with her brother. As for herself, as an outsider, she'd better hide aside.
As expected, as soon as she stood up, Jacob ran over.
As soon as he rushed in front of Nancy, he pulled a long face and said seriously, "You little girl! Where have you been?! You... " He bit his lower lip, worried and scared.
Nancy looked at him with tears in her eyes.
But Jacob managed to soften his voice and said, "Tell me, how anxious should I be when you run around so randomly?"
Cherry pulled him and winked at him.
When she looked at Nancy, her face was still smiling. "I'll bring you a cup of drink. After that, I'll drive you back. I drove here myself. "
Jacob held back his anger, and Cherry considerately pulled him to sit down. As soon as she came in and out, she had already brought two cups of dragon fruit juice in her hands. "Made with absolute conscience. I just made it tonight. There are only two glasses left. "
Nancy thanked her, took it and drank it gently.
But Jacob didn't take it. "Drink it. Thank you."
"It's delicious." Cherry wrinkled her nose and said, "It won't hurt you."
"I've already drunk." He explained lightly, "You made it yourself and haven't drunk it yet. Is it a pity?"
"I won't tell you that I ate a lot in the kitchen just now. I'm afraid I can't finish it myself. "
She pecked gently and held back her laughter. "I really want to praise myself. But it's not good. Forget it."
Nancy's eyes were still red, but she couldn't help smiling.
"Sister Cherry, you are so cute." She whispered.
"Just call me Cherry." After drinking half a glass of juice, Cherry couldn't drink any more. "Well, it seems that I have to waste my own efforts."
It was too much for her to eat too much at night.
He took the glass from her hand and drank up the rest. "It's not good to waste."
He said lightly and put the empty glass on the waiter's plate.
Cherry was stunned.
Nancy's eyes almost dropped.
Was he the man who insisted on using the serving chopsticks even when having dinner with his family?
Was this the man who usually took two steps back when seeing a woman?
Was this her brother that his family was even worried that he would be a gay?
Cherry was the first to react. Her pretty face flushed, and she couldn't help but lower her head and coughed, "Well, since you have drunk it up, get in the car, and I'll drive you back."
Jacob followed her calmly, "We are not officially invited by the host, but you are. Does it matter if you leave like this?"
"My main task has been completed. I don't know where he has gone." said Cherry indifferently. He would say something strange when he saw her later. "What's more, I have to go back and think of new dishes tonight."
Jacob nodded, "Do you need me to try new dishes for you?"
It was rare that he offered an invitation.
She was stunned for half a second and smiled, "It's my pleasure. I just don't know if you have bought the insurance or not. "
"Disease insurance, accident insurance, all kinds of insurance." He also raised his eyebrows.
"Okay." She opened the door.
Nancy sat on the back seat.
