“My sweetheart, you are finally home. Are you tired after taking a flight? Let’s go home and have a good feast. You haven’t had my cooking for a long time.”
“Dear son, how is your life going when you are abroad. Is everything going well? Are the living expenses enough for you?”
These words resound in the hall. Even some couples who haven’t seen each other for long. Once they meet, they hug together and kiss up, making many older people hurry to avoid and look away. Some old ladies would point at them and say something like “shameless”.
Edward’s eyes wander in this group of people, and suddenly he notices a woman, wearing sunglasses, a small red leather coat and a pair of black high-heeled shoes. She has a curly wavy hair drooping over her face.
Pulling a small red suitcase, the woman looks around and sees Edward, showing a row of neat and white teeth. Walking on the heels, she speeds up the pace, heading for Edward.
Looking at this woman, Edward is not sure if she is Jacquiline Smith. After all, he hasn’t seen her for five years, and she has changed a lot. Except Alice, he has never attentively remembered a woman's face.
“Brother, why are you here to pick me up?”
Walking to Edward, she takes off her sunglasses, showing her smiling face with a little surprise, and it seems that she didn’t know Edward could come and pick her up.
In fact, Jacquiline feels pleased in heart. Before she came back, she had told her aunt to call her cousin Edward to pick her up, but she did not let Edward know it was she that wanted him to pick her up. She had thought with Edward's temper, he would refuse!
Unexpectedly, now he actually comes in person. Does it mean Edward still attaches a little importance to her?
Jacquiline’s appearance also amazes many passengers on the scene and the families who pick someone up. Anyone who looks at such a beautiful woman will not move their eyes.
Many men can’t help but want to come up to chat up, but when Jacquiline goes to Edward side, they all obediently retract away.
Female passengers are holding their faces, staring at Edward, and are quite envious of this perfect match, thinking the two people are lovers!
Jacquiline shows a bigger smile when she feels the eyes from the sides and the noisy arguments about her. She hasn't expected that these people would think of her and her cousin as lovers. If she could really be with her cousin, that would be great...
"Well, Mother asked me to pick you up. How are you doing abroad?"
Edward nods coolly, and simply answers Jacquiline’s question. In order not to show disacquaintance, he casually asked.
Seeing Edward greet to her, she feels more delightful. She rubs her wrist as if she was tired and then replies, "Not bad, but when I just went abroad, I was not familiar with the rules there, and I always did wrong things. But now it’s alright. I can finally go back home, and I miss you and my aunt so much."
"Well, she's at home now. Let me take you home first!" Edward just nods as if he didn’t see Jacquiline’s action, and turned to leave.
Hearing this, Jacquiline is stunned and can’t believe Edward, such a smart man, can’t understand what she means.
When her senses recover, Edward has gone far.
Jacquiline stamps her feet with a little anger, but hurries to follow Edward, pulling her little red suitcase. She purses her mouth and looks unhappy.
