Chapter 321 Meet old friend 2


    I scowled. Did she mean I was a shameless mistress and Dennis was a rich phnderer?


    It was kind of an interesting plot.


    I looked at her and said, “If a person never reflects on himself, but only mes his faults on others, he


    will not only suffer, but also fail more thoroughly.”


    I didn’t want to meddle too much in other people’s affairs. When you got to a certain age, you just


    wanted to live your life the way you liked.


    I went back to the yard and saw That riana had been picked up by Dennis. She had picked a lot of


    fruit and was spooning watermelon in the yard.


    When she saw me, she said excitedly, “Mom, you’re back!” Then she put down the watermelon and ran


    towards me.


    She threw herself into my arms and said softly, “Uncle George promised to make us some spaghetti


    tonight when you get back.”


    Seeing that Dennis wasn’t in the yard, I said, “Where is he?”


    riana pointed to the back yard. “He said some of your clothes don’t go in the washer, so he washes


    them by hand in the back yard.”


    I was stunned and went to the backyard. What clothes couldn’t be washed in the washing machine?


    Then I saw the man in the back yard squatting by the washbasin, scrubbing clothes. He had changed


    out of his usual dark suit.


    He was wearing warm pajamas that I had bought for him downtown the other day.


    But he was so used to high quality and bespoke clothes that I didn’t think he would wear them.


    I couldn’t believe he was wearing it. When I saw him washing the underwear I had taken offst night,


    my face burned.


    Hearing the noise, he looked back at me with gentle eyes. “Hey, I’ll be all right in a minute. riana


    picked watermelon. Go and eat some. But don’t eat too much, it’s bad for your stomach.”


    I didn’t know what the daily necessities should be like, but I always felt that it should be like this.

    I didn’t say anything, but walked toward him and took the clothes in his hands, blushing a little, “Let me


    do it.”


    He frowned, “My hands are already wet anyway, you can go inside first!”


    Then he nudged me with his arm. When riana came, he said, “Take Mommy to eat watermelon.”


    Somewhere along the way, he was not the Dennis George I used to know. Came to think of it, he was


    in his mid-thirties. Perhaps old age had made him more stable.


    Knowing I couldn’t beat him, I got up and went out to the front yard, feeling a little dazed.


    I’d seen a little bit of what Antonia Gilbert said. The Inte developed quickly, and they were famous


    people in City P.


    Rich and cool single men were more attractive than handsome young men.


    Reporters and the media were looking into his private life, and inevitably they were going to dig up


    something. I’d be numb to Olivia’s existence.


    As for Bernice Miller, she burst onto the entertainment scene two years ago. After several TV series


    became popr, she also became famous. Along with the George Group’s investment, Dennis


    asionally took her to dinner parties.


    As time went on, there would naturally be a topic about them. It didn’t really matter if it was true or not.


    I was living with riana in HL Area. I would not refuse him when he came, and I would not detain him


    when he left. There


    were too many things in life that you couldn’t get, even if you strove for them. And if we didn’t go for it,


    we wouldn’t be afraid


    of not getting it.


    Dinner time.


    Dennis cooked. The meal was set when the door was knocked. riana ran to open the door.


    It was Nathan and Joey.


    They were carrying crayfish, alive and obviously fresh.


    When he entered the yard and saw Dennis there, Nathan froze, but only for a moment. He handed me


    the lobster and smiled,


    “When I picked Joey up this afternoon, there was an old man selling it, so I brought it in. Joey’s allergic


    to lobster, but riana


    likes it. You can make it for her tomorrow.”


    I nodded, took the lobsters and beckoned them to sit down.


    Dennis and Nathan had met before. The two men, not far apart in age, shook hands and smiled.


    Speaking of which, it was the first time they had actually met at my ce. Nathan was introverted and


    all he talked about with Dennis was the economy.


    Dennis George looked at me and smiled. “Do you have any alcohol here?”


    I nodded. “I have wine. Is that all right?” There were too many grapes in the yard to eat, so I made a lot


    of wine.


    He smiled.


    “Yes, it’s not polite to have guests in the house without wine.”


    Nathan froze slightly, looking surprised.


    I smiled and got up to get the wine. When I returned, I found them chatting lightly. The conversation


    seemed to be about me.


    And it was harmonious.


    As I sat back down in my seat, Nathan looked at me and smiled. “I didn’t know you couldn’‘t eat shrimp


    when I’ve known you so long."


    I looked over at Dennis and saw him looking down at the bottle and trying to open it. His eyes were


    warm and graceful.


    “Not all of it,” I said, looking over at Nathan. “riana loves it, so I''ll eat it once in a while.”


    It was a disease that came with having a baby. Seafood would make me feel a little ufortable, but


    that didn’t mean I


    couldn’t eat it.


    Nathan smiled. Dennis offered to pour him a drink. “Thank you for taking care of her all these years.”


    I never told anyone about my rtionship with Dennis. Nathan had his doubts, but he was a


    gentleman, and he wouldn’t have


    asked if I hadn''t said.


    The two of them were drinking, and it was harmonious.


    After a few sses of wine, the conversation and atmosphere warmed up, and the two men seemed to


    share a lot of topics.


    Dennis was the City P’s business genius. If his years in Newton Town had been a time of concealment,


    these four years in City


    P had been a time of revtion.


    In four years, he had be more and more dazzling. In just four years, he built the George Group


    into one of the most


    prominent publicly tradedpanies.


    He invested aggressively in almost every industry and made a fortune.


    A man like him was not only dazzling among women, but also looked up to among men.


    The children went to bed early. riana went to her bedroom, and Joey leaned on Nathan’sp and fell


    asleep.


    Seeing that, they said no more.


    Nathan left and Dennis got up to clear the table. I looked at him as I wiped the table and said, “Dennis,


    you’re getting staid.”


    He looked at me and smiled. “How can Ipliment you? That you are bing gentler?”


    Iughed and took the rag into the kitchen.


    He collected the dishes and took the cloth from me. “I''ll do it,” he said. “You wash your hands and go


    check on riana.” Knowing I couldn''t beat him, I didn’t say much. I washed my hands and went to


    look in riana’s bedroom.


    By the time I got out, he was already packed. Hey in the drawing-room, his eyes closed, his


    breathing easy, and he seemed to be asleep.


    I went to the bedroom, grabbed the nket and put it over him. I touched his shoulder and he woke up.


    Toote to avoid it, our eyes met. I didn’t know what to do for a while, so I was a little stunned.


    There was a light in his eyes, and it was very bright. “I’ve seen you in my dreams several times. When I


    wake up and you’re not there, I always wander for a long time."
