As Jessie's best friend, she really wanted Jessie to let go, give up George and be herself.
Then Jessie would live with more panache and a brighter smile than she did now.
She had persuaded Jessie before, Jessie agreed, but never really did.
So at this point, she had the same thought as Jessie’s mother, and she hoped that Jessie would fall in love with another man and start a new relationship, and maybe then, Jessie would become happy.
Provided, of course, that the man also loved Jessie.
So now, she was wondering if this Lorenzo who suddenly appeared really loved Jessie or had some purpose for Jessie.
If it was true that he loved Jessie, she supported him to pursue Jessie, if he had other purposes, she would definitely not agree.
Seemingly sensing Violet's eyes, Lorenzo raised his eyes and looked over, right into Violet's alert and inquisitive eyes.
Seeing Violet, Lorenzo raised his eyebrows in surprise, clearly surprised by her arrival.
But soon, he calmed down and gave Violet a slight nod and a polite smile before looking down and reminding Jessie, who had already finished changing her shoes and was getting him his slippers, "Jessie, your friend is here."
"Huh?" Jessie stood up in confusion, "My friend? Where?"
"Jessie." Violet opened her mouth and called out.
Jessie froze for a moment when she heard Violet’s voice, then turned her head in surprise and saw Violet, her mouth opened before she could barely find her voice, "Violet? What are you doing here?"
Jessie was surprised as she walked towards Violet, "Why didn't you tell me when you came?"
"I want to give you a surprise." Violet said as she took her hand.
Jessie laughed, "I am surprised, but why are you here? I don’t know you were coming."
"I decided to come shortly ago." Violet said.
Jessie nodded.
Soon, she thought of something else and asked, "Violet, when did you arrive? Are you alone? Mr. Murphy isn’t with you?"
"I've been here talking to your mom for a while, Stanley has work to do." Violet answered.
Jessie added, "So you came alone, the two kids didn't come, right?"
"No, it's safer to leave them in J City." Violet said.
Jessie nodded, "That's right, after all, Ivan is still out there."
Next to her, Jessie’s mother saw the two chatting so devotedly, smiled benevolently, then put down the clothes in her hands and went to the kitchen to make tea, giving the place to the three young people.
Violet glanced at the man behind Jessie and pretended not to recognize him, "Jessie, this gentleman is?"
"Ah." Jessie heard Violet's words, then remembered there was someone else, smiled embarrassedly, then pointed at Lorenzo and introduced him, "Violet, this is Lorenzo, a neighbor I played well with when I was a child."
"Oh ...... Lorenzo. " Violet stroked her chin and deliberately tease, "How come I've never heard you mention him before."
Jessie said with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for twenty years, and if it weren't for Lorenzo coming to me this time, I wouldn't have thought of him."
"It's really sad to hear you say that, Jessie." Lorenzo said he was sad, but his eyes were gentle.
He then withdrew his gaze from Jessie, extending his hand towards Violet, "Hello, Mrs. Murphy, nice to meet you, you really are as beautiful as the legend says."
Mrs. Murphy?
Hearing the man address her, Violet blinked in surprise, "How do you know my husband's last name is Murphy?"
Was it possible that Jessie had told him?
She looked to Jessie.
Jessie waved her hand and said no.
