"Shut up!" John looked embarrassed.
The thing that embarrassed him most and he didn't want to admit was nothing more than inferior to William. If Haylee didn't expose him, he could comfort himself that he lost because of his bad luck, not because he was not good enough and indecisive.
But her words swayed in his mind like a curse, with suffocating force to tightly hold his mind, making him awkward. Haylee stopped saying, but the mockery in her eyes was clear. She ridiculed him obviously.
John turned around and left quickly, trying to escape from this troublesome place. Haylee stared at his back disappearing and suddenly felt very sad. She has been longing for his love for so many years, and tried every means to get it. But ultimately it ended in failure!
It was over! It was eventually over! With lowered eyelids and exhaustion, she left the hospital.
They finally broke off their engagement, at a staggering speed.
Within several days of the engagement banquet, the cancellation of the engagement was announced. The engagement between rich families had naturally caused much discussion.
However, none of the parties came out to explain, so the rumors slowly dissipated over time.
Vivian was just a little affected by the news. There were some sneaking feelings in her heart, but she didn't know what it was for.
William was unpleasant, lest John, who knew the truth would come to snatch Vivian with him again, making him nervous for a few days.
Mrs. Lucia left quietly, giving Vivian a little melancholy. Compared with Mrs. Reina, Mrs. Lucia treated her very well. Of course, the factors for knowledge and self-cultivation cannot be excluded.
But in the face of a rare elder who treated her well, Vivian was still loath to part with her.
So when William talked about it, she asked a few more questions.
William didn't raise his head and said, "There is a lot to do at home. It is not easy for her to squeeze so much time to come here. If she doesn't go back, I think my dad will come to send a punitive expedition."
"Indeed." Vivian was absent-minded and thought about William's family background she had learned before. If it were true, Mrs. Lucia's identity could be equivalent to the first lady.
"William, are you going to live here forever?” Vivian asked as she bit the chopsticks.
William raised his eyebrows to look at her, "Don't you like it? Or do you want to go back to where you used to live?"
Although this place was quiet and spacious, it is still too remote and her daily contact was limited. A woman her age living here was like being trapped in a cage.
"We will live here for a few days. After returning from City J, you can choose to live wherever you like." William thought about it for a while, and finally told her his thought.
Vivian was astonished, "City J? Why do we go to City J?"
"Since we are about to get married, shouldn't we take time to meet my family?" William seemed to take it for granted. After seeing Vivian's expression, he was immediately enlightened and said, "Or do you think we should visit your family first? It's fine, too."
She was freaked out. Didn't he understand?
"William, I mean when did we talk about getting married? Who will marry you?"
William put down the chopsticks, and his expression suddenly became serious.
"Don't you want to give Roe a complete home?"
"Yes, but..."
“Don't you want Roe's future life to be healthy and happy?”
"Yes, but..."
