"Hanson, are you going to Dragon City? Give me a ride. My car broke down. I'm just wondering how to go back. " She put her chin in her hands and looked pitiful. Just now at the banquet, she accidentally heard that Hanson called Mili and knew that he was going to Dragon City, so she decided to seize this opportunity to contact him.
Hanson was a little helpless. Although he didn't like Ivy, he didn't want to refuse her because she could tell him about the recent situation of Essie at any time, so he reluctantly nodded.
Ivy was very happy. She knew that Hanson was softhearted and would not refuse her reasonable request.
In the evening, on the Phoenix Road, the cold wind swirled around with yellow leaves, spreading on the sidewalk on both sides of the road. A familiar figure walked slowly on the leaves.
Hanson asked the driver to pull over, "Aunt Lucy -" he called.
Lucy turned around and saw him. A kind and excited smile immediately appeared on her face. "Hanson, you're finally here. Mili and Dot are looking forward to your coming every day."
Hanson got out of the car and walked to Lucy. "I'm here."
While he was talking, a little head popped out of the car and looked at Lucy with a smile. She had seen her at the wedding of Essie and Zac. In her eyes, Lucy was also a legendary woman.
She jumped out of the car and greeted enthusiastically, "Auntie, I'm Ivy, the cousin of your son-in-law."
"Aunt Lucy, she's my employee. Her car broke down. I give her a ride." Hanson glared at her and explained to Lucy in a hurry, fearing that she would misunderstand him.
Lucy smiled, "Oh, it's Ivy. Would you like to have a seat with Hanson?"
When Ivy was about to say yes, Hanson interrupted, "no, thanks, aunt Lucy. She has something to do. I'll ask the driver to send her to Rong Mansion."
"I'm fine." Ivy murmured.
A hint of impatience flashed across Hanson's face. "Go back and write down the market plan of next year. Hand it over to me tomorrow." He had many things to ask her to do.
Ivy spit out blood, stuck out her tongue at him in disappointment, and got on the car reluctantly and unhappily.
Looking at the car driving away, Lucy smiled and asked tentatively, "Hanson, you haven't been here for a long time. Do you have a new girlfriend?"
"No, I don't have a girlfriend."
Hanson shook his head hard, and a trace of loneliness fell into the eyes of Lucy. "You are so excellent. There must be many excellent girls around you and like you." She said in an extremely gentle tone.
"Aunt Lucy." Hanson's eyes darkened, and a sad look was added to his original loneliness. "I... I only like Essie. I won't like anyone else. "
Lucy sighed heavily, "I also hope that Essie can be with you. But now things are so complicated, and Essie has also been greatly shocked. I can only turn a blind eye to her marriage with Zac for the time being."
Without answering, Hanson accompanied Lucy into the villa.
The parterre were full of camellias, which were red and blooming. As far as one could see, it was like red clouds falling from the setting sun.
These flowers were like flames in Hanson's eyes, burning his heart. "Maybe Essie and I are really not meant to be together, right?" He lowered his head, depressed and helpless.
"Fate is too mysterious. Now Essie and Zac may not live a good life together. Her mother-in-law..." Lucy wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.
Hanson's face immediately tensed, like a string that could break at any time. "Aunt Lucy, is her mother-in-law not good to her?"
"It's impossible for her mother-in-law to be good to her." Lucy smiled bitterly.
"Why?" Hanson asked in confusion.
Lucy looked at the west sky and took a deep breath. "It's hard to explain it in sentences." She patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, and brought the topic back. "Hanson, you are a good child. You are good to Essie and you are good to Mili and Dot. Only when Essie is with you can I rest assured. Now she is in the family, I am worried about her."
"Aunt Lucy..." Hanson's eyes lit up, like a drowning man who saw a life-saving straw and had hope in his heart. However, this hope could only be maintained for a second before it was extinguished. What was the use of Lucy supporting him? Essie's heart had been taken away, and he could no longer take it back.
In the villa, Mili and Dot were bending over the window, waiting for Hanson. They had been worried that after their parents reconciled, Hanson would abandon them and no longer be their daddy Hanson.
As soon as they saw his familiar and gentle figure, the two of them happily greeted him.
"Daddy Hanson, you're finally here. We miss you so much." "I thought you abandoned us."
