Chapter 254 Sudden Responsibility
Amanda Jewell conveniently opened the drawer on the left hand side, pulled out a wedding invitation, and said faintly, “It depends. Go when you have time.”
Xiao Yun has a bystander attitude. “Listen to your tone, you don’t regret it at all?”
Amanda Jewell didn’t agree. “We broke up peacefully, and after friendly negotiation, we decided to be friends again. What is there to regret?”
“Unfortunately, what are your plans for the evening?”
“Mr. Dolley came back and asked me to have dinner.”
Xiao Yun is different from Zhao Xiaopi. She is not a person who likes to follow the crowd. Everyone around her thinks Amanda Jewell will be with Patrick Dolley, but she thinks she will be a friend in this life.
“Ok, then I’ll hang up first, and I’ll contact you later.”
After hanging up the phone, Amanda Jewell opened the invitation, and saw the handwritten pen words on it, which were vigorous, upright and tough, just like Xiao Licheng, who was admired both at work and in private.
As for breaking up? Although it was a bet, she was somehow ungrateful at the beginning.
She hasn’t decided whether to go to the wedding or not.
Night falls.
Amanda Jewell and Patrick Dolley are meeting in a western restaurant.
“This project ended much faster than expected. Was it smooth?”
“It went well, but something happened, which caused me to speed up the process. I want to come back early.”
Amanda Jewell put down her glass. “What’s the emergency?”
Patrick Dolley suddenly fell silent.
“What’s the matter?”
“Amanda, we have known each other for more than ten years.”
The dull voice came from the opposite side. Patrick Dolley looked at Amanda Jewell and smiled slightly. “When I was in college, I saw you for the first time and watched you join the club. I taught you to play the debate contest and watched you enter the Sean Group as an intern, work and get married …”
He paused.
Amanda Jewell showed a relieved smile. “She also watched me divorce, helped me fight the divorce lawsuit, helped me start a business as a legal adviser, and watched me get married and divorced …”
As far as she is concerned, there’s nothing that can’t be said.
“What’s all of a sudden sensational?”
“People are old and always like to miss the past, but in my eyes, you are still the 18-year-old junior.”
Amanda Jewell raised her eyebrows slightly. “My lawyer Yang, please don’t laugh at me. I was just called aunt yesterday, and my psychological trauma has not been healed yet.”
“Really.”
“I don’t believe it.”
Amanda Jewell’s voice did not fall, but the prelude to the piano piece Cannon was suddenly played in the hall, followed by the violin music, and several players in black tuxedos came towards them.
Amanda Jewell was puzzled. “It seems that someone is going to propose, Yang …”
“Amanda.” Patrick Dolley across the street suddenly took out a blue-black suede box.
Open with a bang, revealing the diamond ring inside.
Amanda Jewell suddenly froze.
All the customers in the booth in the lobby focused on their table.
As soon as the violin was over, Patrick Dolley knelt down to Amanda Jewell. Under Amanda Jewell’s shocked eyes, he handed the diamond ring, “Will you marry me?”
The booing came flooding in.
Amanda Jewell was so scared that she suddenly stood up and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
In full view, Patrick Dolley held up a diamond ring. “From college to work, for so many years, I believe that no one knows you better than me, and no one loves you more than me. I also don’t believe that anyone but me can take care of you. So, will you marry me?”
In the western restaurant, someone has raised their mobile phone to take pictures.
“You get up first.”
Looking around, Amanda Jewell hesitated and held out her hand.
In the applause of blessing, Patrick Dolley put a diamond ring on her ring finger.
It’s late at night, a five-star hotel on the riverside of Pushi.
The huge floor-to-ceiling window is facing the Pujiang River, and the cruise ship passes by, bustling as a dream.
Theo leaned back on the sofa to play with his mobile phone, his slender legs folded together, and put them on the coffee table. “You forced Amanda to cooperate with you in this way. Can she be happy? Don’t make things worse. ”
“Can it be worse than it is now?”
A deep voice came from the window, and Iverson Byran glanced at him. His dark cold eyes were bottomless.
“I’ll go …”
Theo suddenly straightened up, a pair of peach blossom eyes staring straight. “It’s really bad.”
“What’s the matter?”
“You have a quick look at this.”
Theo held up the mobile phone interface to him, and a proposal video was being madly forwarded by netizens on the new section of social software in the same city.
“Marry me.”
In the video, the man is kneeling on one knee to propose marriage, and the barrage is full of blessings.
“Bless you, handsome men and beautiful women. It’s so beautiful.”
“Sure enough, handsome guys are booked by beautiful women.”
“I heard it was a fifteen-year long-distance love run. It was so touching.”
“Believe in love again.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“……”
At the end of the video, the woman reached out and asked the man to put a ring on him.
Iverson Byran’s face seemed to be covered with a dark cloud.
“Ah? Where are you going so late? ”
Theo shouted at Iverson Byran’s back, but didn’t stop him at all.
When watching the video screen on the mobile phone, Theo sighed, and he didn’t blame others for Amanda Jewell’s promise. Fifteen years of silent guarding, compared with someone’s injury in those days, is a world of difference, and a fool knows what to choose.
When Patrick Dolley sent Amanda Jewell home, it was already more than eleven o’clock at night.
After dinner, the two men walked around the river and chatted about many things, work and life.
“I’m here, you go back and drive slowly.”
“Well, you go to bed early, don’t stay up late.”
“……”
Watching Amanda Jewell walk into the unit building, Patrick Dolley leaned back and lost his mind for a moment. He dug out the blue and black suede ring box from his coat and opened it with a bang. The diamond ring inside was shining.
This time, Amanda Jewell refused to give face, and waited for dinner before returning the ring to him.
Actually, Patrick Dolley didn’t expect her to really say yes, but just wanted to draw a happy ending to this relationship.
The cell phone rang and echoed in the carriage.
Looking at the word” Joleen Lewis” on the caller ID, Patrick Dolley hesitated for a moment and pressed answer.
“Hello?”
“Are you finished? Lollo has been waiting for your call, and everyone is asleep.”
The female voice on the other end of the phone is gentle and powerful, without any reproach, but even so, it still makes Patrick Dolley feel pressure.
“Just finished, I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. I told her that Dad was busy and she was very good.”
Patrick Dolley rubbed the ring box with his other hand and hesitated, “Joleen Lewis, let’s get married.”
The head suddenly fell silent.
“Joleen Lewis?”
“Are you still there?”
Joleen Lewis came to his senses, as if afraid that he would go back on his word, and quickly responded, “I’m here. Have you thought about it?”
“Hmm.”
Patrick Dolley nodded with certainty. Actually, Joleen Lewis on the other side of the phone was invisible, but he seemed to be just persuading himself to accept this sudden responsibility.
