Chapter 1565


    Joseph Grant and his grandfather chatted for a while before he headed downstairs. His parents were still eating outside. Wendy was sitting on the


    sofa, when she saw her brother had gone downstairs, she immediately jumped up and ran in front of him, blocking his path with her hand: "Brother,


    when did Duke return?”


    Joseph Grant looked at his younger sister in shock: "Wendy, stop bullying him."


    "I''m not bullying him, I just think that it''s a small matter ... I wanted to be friends with him, but he avoided me. Brother, am I really that scary? "


    Wendy''s pretty face looked hurt and wranged, she obviously loved everyone, but why did she be so useless at Duke''s ce?


    “Of course you''re not scary. You''re pretty cute.” Joseph Grantforted her sister gently, his thin lips curling into a smile: "Duke came back for an


    important matter, he doesn''t have time to y games with you anymore."


    "Brother, what nonsense are you spouting? When did I want to y games with him?" Wendy''s beautiful face flushed red, she stared at her big


    brother angrily: "He doesn''t want to see me, I''m also not willing to see him.”


    After Wendy finished speaking. she ran upstairs. Looking at his cute little sister, he could only shake his head and sigh. Forget it, she was still a child,


    he could not control her.


    In one breath, Wendy ran into the room and immediately closed the door. Her beautiful face that had a blush on it was unable to calm down for a long


    time.


    When his brother mentioned the game, Wendy immediately thought of something that still made her heart tremble.


    When she was thirteen, she held a birthday party. When Duke came, they were ying the game, he didn''t know if it was a coincidence or not, but


    the cards she held were a match to his, and the two of them were pushed out to be used as jokes.


    It was Wendy''s first time being hugged by a boy. Duke was also a little shy and didn''t dare to hug her too tightly. He only hugged her gently and let


    her go, but Wendy remembered the masculine scent of his body, which smelled like lemon.


    Thinking about it carefully, that was something that happened many years ago, but Wendy remembered it clearly.


    However, what happened afterwards caused Wendy to be severely injured. In the summer of her sixteenth year, when she found out that he had


    returned home, she sent him a text message asking him toe out for dinner. She never thought that Duke would actually reject her.


    The feeling of being rejected was extremely ufortable, so Wendy unwillingly ran over to his house to find him.


    Unexpectedly, he didn''t even let her in. He just stood on the balcony on the second floor and told her to go home early and not to look for him in the


    future.


    When she heard these words, Wendy''s brain was in a mess. She did not expect Duke to not be willing to be her friend again, and not even allowing


    her to enter the house. She had immediately said something fierce, saying that she wanted to cut off all ties with him. However, Duke casually threw


    out a word: "Alright!"Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Wendy deleted all the messages from him, and from that time onwards, Duke really did not contact her again. If Wendy wanted to find him, she could


    not even find a reason, she had only blocked her path of retreat herself.


    Now. hearing the news of his return, he even arranged dinner with his big brother. This feeling was too depressing, it felt like he was very close, and


    also very far away, so much that she didn''t even dare to call him


    Wendy closed her eyes and threw herself onto the bed. She rolled over and covered herself with the banklet.


    What happened to her? A ship of friendship, could it really be turned so easily?


    In the future, she would never make friends with someone from the opposite sex. It was truly unreliable.


    In the Wayne Family, after seeing that Coco Wayne was fine, both Edwards and Lily heaved a sigh of relief.


    That night, Edwards stared at his daughter''s cute sleeping face until midnight and did not dare to fall asleep.


    If something happened to his daughter, he would really go crazy, whether it was because of this danger or because of him.


    Edwards and Lily did not mention anything about this matter to their families. They did not want their families to be on tenterhooks, but they had


    decided that for all the teachers they hired, they would have to go through even more rigorous inspections before letting them in


    Lily woke up to find that the man was not by her side. She was stunned, then. where did he go?


    Lily draped a jacket over her shoulders and walked out of the bedroom. After passing through the children''s room, she discovered that Edwards had


    brought a chair over and was sitting between the two children''s beds.


    It was past two in the morning. How long had he been sitting here?


    Lily walked in lightly. The man turned to look at her and raised a finger at her. Then, he stood up and walked out with her in her arms.


    "What are you doing?” Lily asked him softly.


    Edwards sighed: "I can''t sleep, I want to see the children.”


    "It was a false rm this time. Next time, we can''t be careless." Lily sighed, he was truly shocked this time.


    "Yes, the safety of the children is more important than anything else. We can''t go through this kind of shock anymore." The man narrowed his eyes.


    He was exceptionally enraged by this incident.


    "Was that woman arranged by the Old President? Now that she''s dead, is there no way to prove it? " Lily was also very angry, because in this matter,


    there would always be someone whe would step out and take responsibility.


    "


    Joseph has already promised me


    that within a few days, he will make


    the details ofthe events of the year


    public. Atthat time, we will know <


    who is responsible for this matter.”


    Edwards still believed in his good


    fri end) and the media refusee''to let

    would always be someone to take


    responsibility for it. Content belongs

    "The teacher is also terrified." Lily sighed


    Edwards reached out and hugged her even more tightly: "OK, stop thinking about these things, let''s sleep."


    "OK!"


    Lily had slept for a long time, but now she couldn''t fall asleep. Shey on her bed with her eyes wide open, her mind empty.


    "Edwards, are you asleep?" Lily asked him softly.


    "Yes!" The man replied in a low voice.


    "OK!" Lily was a little disappointed, but she couldn''t be too selfish, so she could only force herself to close her eyes.


    As she forced herself to sleep, she suddenly felt a body turn over and press down on her.


    "You ... Didn''t you fall asleep? " Lily trembled, he was shocked.


    "Aren''t you unable to sleep? Of course I want to keep youpany. " The man whispered into her ear with his thin lips.


    Lily naturally understood what kind of apanying he was talking about. Her heart grew sweet and she took the initiative to reach out to hug him.


    Edwards kissed her gently with his thin lips.


    "Wait, let me get something ..."


    “Don''t take it." A small hand reached over and grabbed his big palm.


    Edwards'' s serene eyes instantly turned deep. In that case, he could indulge himself tonight?


    Alvina Miller woke up early in the morning and ran around the garden twice. At breakfast time, her phone rang, she took it over to take a look, it was


    his superior, Penelope.


    Alvina Miller immediately answered the phone with a smile.


    "Good morning, Penelope.” Alvina Miller greeted herzily.


    However, Penelope shyly told her: "Alvina, Rain and I would like to treat you to a meal.”


    "Really? Are you two together? " Hearing that, Alvina Miller asked happily.


    "Not yet. We just want to be friends to rent. I moved in with him to rent a house." Penelopeughed in embarrassment.


    "Rent friends? What kind of rtionship is that?" When Alvina Miller heard it, his face was covered.


    "You''re still young, and don''t


    understand the emptiness and


    loneliness ofmiddle— aged men and


    women. le and I are both singles


    and weavent known each other for


    long.se we don''t want to start. a


    rtionship so recklessly. Therefore,


    we e wanted to live together first, and


    then think about our next : step."


    "It''s thatplicated? I still don''t understand. Since you all live together, are you two any different from a husband and wife?" Alvina Miller was a little


    dizzy from being circled and could not help butugh


    "There''s a difference. We don''t have an official rtionship." Penelope was so embarrassed by her words that his face flushed red.


    “If Rain agreeg, it means that you


    have something to sing. Penelope,


    congrattio ns, I hope that one day_


    you two wv nit il truly be together." Alvitia


    Miller sill ‘smiled as he offered his


    blessings. After all, life was short, it


    was. very difficult to meet someone


    with the same personality-and it


    was even harder to persevere.


    “Alright, I''ve received your blessings. When we finish packing our room, you shoulde over to eat.” Penelope said with a happy expression


    “Of course, when the timees, I will call Joseph to go with me.” Alvina Miller agreed with a smile.


    "Will the Mr. Vice—Presidente as well? Alvina, this is so embarrassing. How would we dare to invite him? “ Penelope was still very afraid of


    Joseph Grant. After all, he was at a very high level


    Alvina Miller immediatelyughed: "It''s fine. When I brought him here, just treat him as my boyfriend.”
