Hearing this, Lainey's expression was a little sarcastic. She said earnestly, "Sykes, would she show you her true colors honestly?"
"I know clearly what kind of person she is." His handsome face darkened.
"How can you be so sure? In my opinion, she must be a scheming woman. Otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of using her child to set a trap to force your brother to marry her..."
The anger in his heart was finally completely aroused. With a "pa" sound, he threw his chopsticks on the table and left without looking at Lainey.
He didn't like to hear a single word of her. He knew what kind of person she was, that's enough!
Lainey frowned and wondered why he was so angry.
She drew a conclusion that he must have been drugged by Harriet. Otherwise, he wouldn't have treated her like this.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel more disgusted with Harriet.
Mary happened to walk out of the bathroom and happened to see Sykes walking out of the living room angrily. She was surprised and asked, "Lainey, what's wrong with him?"
Lainey hid her emotions and said calmly, "I said a few words to him about his study. He didn't like to hear it. What a bad temper!"
Mary didn't suspect anything and said, "Sykes knows his own mind. Lainey, you don't have to worry about it."
"It's a waste of time to worry about it. He can remember only one sentence after you tell him 100 sentences. By the way, tomorrow is the fourth day of the lunar month. I almost forgot it!" Lainey let out a low cry.
"What's wrong with the fourth day?" Mary was confused, but something shining in her eyes.
"The fourth day of the lunar month is Beau's birthday. I was so busy these days that I almost forgot about it."
Hearing this, Mary seemed to suddenly realize something. "If you didn't mention it, I almost forgot about it. How did he spend his birthday these years?"
"You know, he never likes to socialize too much. On his birthday, all our family members would gather together and had a meal in the hotel."
"What about this year?"
"It depends on Beau himself. We'll discuss it after he comes back."
After a while, they returned to their room. Mary took out the calendar on the bedside table. There was a faint heart shape that was drawn by her on the fourth day of the lunar month.
It was very light which could not be seen if you didn't look carefully.
She dared not draw it clearly because she was afraid that Lainey would see. She remembered this day and never forgot even for a minute.
It was his birthday, which was also tomorrow...
The feeling that she had suppressed in her heart became even stronger than before...
In the room.
In the small single bed, the two of them were still sleeping together.
The bed was too small for them to lie flat. They had to lie to the side, face to face.
Beau was too tall. He had to bend his knees slightly since his legs could not stretch out.
The sun had risen, shining in through the green window curtain and landing on them.
The sunlight was a little dazzling which made Harriet's eyes uncomfortable and blinked a little. Then, she slowly opened her eyes.
The handsome face in the sunshine was right in front of her. She was a little tempted and stared at him quietly.
After a long time, she carefully moved away his hand from her waist, got up, and walked out of the room.
Henry Smith was reading the newspaper when he heard footsteps. He looked up and asked, "Are you awake? Where's Beau?"
