Chapter 1089


    An ancient looking small courtyard with simple and unadorned streetmps hung inside. A dark


    path led straight to a pavilion.


    The pavilion was located in the center of the lotus pond. This season, the lotus flowers had yet to


    bloom, leaving only a clearke.


    Bamboo curtains hung around the pavilion, and a bright light could faintly be seen from inside.


    "Mr. Wayne, this way please!" A man in a suit respectfully bowed and led Edwards forward.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Edwards''s thin lips curled up. Looking at his surroundings, he imagined that the friend who was as


    warm as jade would be meeting him again, and it would be another time.


    After passing through the beautiful scenery of the garden, he finally stepped into the corridor that


    led to the pavilion by himself. He was almost to the door when the curtain was pushed aside by a


    pair of men''s hands. A handsome, picturesque face, with a gentle smile, looked at him.


    "If I didn''t understand you, I would have definitely felt that you were too poetic. But, luckily, I knew


    that you were a quiet person." Edwards smiled faintly and directly entered the pavilion. Under the


    bright light, the Mr. Vice-President that was dressed in casual attire had a face full of smiles.


    Joseph was sizing up Edwards, and of course, Edwards also wanted to get to know his friends that


    he had not seen for a while. Time and years had tempered their faces and demeanor, and they no


    longer had that youthful and immature look back then, but they had be more mature and


    steady, and were filled with the charm of a man''s self -confidence.


    "Haven''t you seen enough of me on TV?" Joseph smirked.


    "You are not the real one on TV." Edwards unceremoniously insulted him.


    "There''s no other way. If I don''t pretend to be profound and let others see through my thoughts, that


    would be scary." Joseph said while taking a cup, he poured a cup of tea that he had brewed and


    gave it to Edwards: "You haven''t changed, you''re still looking full of spirit."


    "Who said that? "I''ve already be so old that I can''t even recognize myself anymore. Back then,


    the person I hated the most was that old fox in the mall. But now, I''ve forced myself to that state


    step by step." Edwardsughed at himself.


    "We''re both the same. Back then, when my father was the President, I didn''t like him either,and


    every day, I even went against him. But now, I want to be him." Joseph wasughing at


    himself.


    "Don''t worry about it too much, you always think that your eyes are the best. You want to look down


    on everyone, including those strong people, after entering society, then you realize that you also


    want to be a strong person. The strong have no enemies, you can protect those that are


    important to you, and you can decide anything you want." Edwards carried the cup of tea and drank


    it with a smile.


    Joseph nodded in agreement.


    "You can''t me me for not being there when you were marriedst time, right?" Joseph could not


    help but ask.


    "You even didn''t show up, but I''ve epted your luxury gift. Since you''re giving me such a


    expensive gift, I won''t mind. Worst case scenario, I won''t go when you get married!" Edwards joked.


    "Marry? I never thought of it, and to be honest, I''m surprised. How did you get married? It seems to


    be the kind of person who gets in the car first to make up the bill.


    You have a pair of beautiful phoenix fetus, I really don''t know if I should be envious or jealous of


    you. " Although Joseph did not interact with him often, Joseph would always pay attention to any


    rumors and rumors about him.


    "Whatever. You will also get married and have children. This is something that every man will


    experience. I am just a step ahead of you." When his wife and children were mentioned, Edwards''s


    face was full of gentleness.


    "I won''t consider getting married and having children right now. I just want to snatch my father''s


    position and give him an exnation. Before he leaves, he shook my hand and asked for my


    guarantee." Joseph smiled bitterly as he shook his head, looking like he had no interest in getting


    married and having children.


    “A year ago, my thoughts were the same as yours: getting married and having a child would be


    even more troublesome, but now, I''ve changed my mind. You might not know that when you return


    home tired after working for the entire day, there will be people concerned about you. As a father


    now, Edwards was getting more and more emotional when talking about this things.


    "Maybe, when I have made a name for myself, I will be like you, trying to build a family, having one


    child and one daughter. When I am free, I will take my family out to y and rx my mind. But not


    everyone is lucky to have it. " Joseph self-deprecatingly lowered his head, his eyes staring nkly


    for a moment.


    Edwards knew that he was definitely thinking about histe father again. He could only change the


    topic and change the topic to work.


    His father was the former President, and should have been the one to seed the position of


    President. Unfortunately, before the session, a major event happened, causing the session


    to fail. Joseph lost his position as President, became the subordinate and took on the role of a


    deputy.


    However, Joseph''s family had always been unwilling. They pushed Joseph to snatch the position of


    president back, and thus, a political war broke out.


    Joseph had the halo of his father, the momentum of this election was very strong, it was already a


    huge threat to the current party. On the surface, it was calm, but the waves of darkness had already


    spread throughout the entire country.


    Edwards could now be considered the strongest supporter of Joseph. His wealth and influence the


    Family was enough to reshuffle the entire country''s politics and economy.


    The two of them chatted as they ate, from politics to economics. In the blink of an eye, it was


    already past ten in the evening.


    Since he didn''t have enough, he could only bid farewell for now.


    "If you have the chance in the future, introduce me to your wife and your two adroble children."


    Joseph said with a sincere face.


    "Alright, after you seed in the election, we will have a lot of chances to meet. At that time, I might


    even introduce you to a girlfriend!" Edwards joked.


    "Alright, all the women you know will surely be outstanding. I''ll look forward to it!" Joseph nodded


    with a humorous smile, and agreed.


    "You have such high standards, I''m afraid no woman would be able to meet your standards!"


    Edwardsughed.


    "My mom might want me to marry a woman. I''m thinking about this right now!" Joseph''s handsome


    face was filled with helplessness.
