The engagement party of the sister-brother of the Xu family was held in the most luxurious five star hotel in Dragon City.
Seeing the fake Alice in a white and beautiful dress holding Fell's arm happily, Essie felt as if a knife was piercing her heart. Her real sister's life was in a dire situation that she did not even know if she was alive or not, but this fake was enjoying all the happiness and sweetness here.
Zac put his arm around her shoulder, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Honey, if you can't bear it, great plans will be messed up."
Noticing that no one noticed them, Essie raised her foot and kicked his calve. 'Damn it!' What a cold-blooded man!
Zac felt wronged. He could foresee that he would go to the gym to spend the long night of tonight.
Eva was wearing a diamond dress designed by Essie, which was lively, nifty and charming. Vinton was in a black suit, tall and handsome.
Eva held his arm and smiled happily.
"I think it's unnecessary for us to get engaged. We should get married directly," Vinton kissed her gently and said with a smile. He couldn't wait to be united with her as one.
Eva glanced at him coquettishly. "There are a lot of things to prepare for the wedding, of course we can't be casual."
"That's right. I want to give you the most perfect wedding." Vinton smiled dotingly. At this time, his eyes, heart, and mind were all filled with his most beautiful fiancee, and all the things in the world and all the guests had turned into nothingness.
In the guest seats, Jim kept staring at them, with his eyes fixed on them. Janice sat beside him, holding his arm all the time, as if she was afraid that he would run away.
"Eva and Vinton are a perfect match," Janice said with a smile, "They love each other so much that even the end of the world can't separate them."
Jim remained silent. His heart ached so much that it was clear and inexplicable, as if a big hand was holding his heart tightly, trying to stop it from beating. He didn't want to figure out the source of this pain. He should be sick, or crazy, or his heart had been empty for too long and had an illusion that he shouldn't have.
"Jim." Janice leaned her head on his shoulder and said, "I really hope that day will come for us."
Jim held her hand. She was the one he loved, and it was impossible for him to fall in love with others. He persuaded himself in his heart.
The wedding of Alice and Fell was set in May, and the wedding of Eva and Vinton was set in June. There was a month between them.
The engagement party also made the cooperation between the Xu family and the Qin family closer. This was what the Qin family wanted the most.
After the engagement party, the cold war spread between Essie and Zac again.
It had been three days since Essie last said a word to Zac.
After Mary was discharged from the hospital, she took the initiative to ask to live in another house. There was neither noise nor disturbance, which made Essie feel weird.
Mrs. Suzan recovered very well. She could remember everything that had happened to Mary and her sister before the car accident, but her memory afterwards was completely blank.
In the morning, Essie and Mrs. Rose pushed her downstairs to bask in the sun.
Mrs. Suzan liked durians, so Zac asked someone to send the top durian variety, Musang King, from Malaysia by air. When it arrived, he asked the servant to peel it and put it into the storage box.
"Grandma, eat some durian." He took one out of the refrigerator and handed it to Mrs. Suzan.
"Mary, you have some too." Mrs. Suzan held Mrs. Rose's hand and looked at her lovingly. "I remember that you stood in front of the fruit shelf and refused to leave when the durian was on the market. Charlotte hated the smell of durian the most. Every time I brought it back, she covered her nose and ran away. If we put the leftovers into the fridge, she will get up secretly and throw them away at midnight. She is just like your grandfather who is selfish and doesn't recognize his relatives. "
Her mother's words made her feel a little uncomfortable, because she couldn't tell whether her mother was referring to herself in the past or the person in the Rong family.
Hearing what his grandma said about his aunt, Zac couldn't correct it for her. Besides, her memory was in a mess now, so it was normal that she couldn't figure out the two daughters.
With a slight smile, Essie said, "Grandma, Auntie and Mommy look exactly alike. Will you make a mistake?"
"I can recognize my daughter at a glance. In other people's eyes, they are the same, but in my eyes, they are completely different. Even if I'm too old to recognize them one day, I won't make a mistake," Suzan said firmly.
The corners of Mrs. Rose's mouth twitched violently. Would her mother really not mistake her?
