Today was Brodie and Joselyn's engagement banquet, where members of the Keller family and the Rosario family gathered together.
Brodie tightly held Joselyn's hand and said, "Actually, I had given everyone a chance, but none of you appreciated it, so only Joselyn and I have the engagement banquet of both families."
Upon hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but freeze.
From Zoey and Russell, Carsen and Carolyn, Madeleine and Kristian, to Brodie and Joselyn, none of these four couples had ever experienced an engagement party and were all ready to get married directly, even though none of these couples had a wedding.
Brodie looked extremely pleased, as if he had seized the opportunity.
Joselyn pinched the man's hand and said, "You were a little cocky."
Brodie chuckled lightly, his voice sounding particularly pleasant. "So what? Who made them so disappointing."
The crowd: "..."
Russell scoffed, "It was just an engagement part
Hallie furrowed her brow and said, "What if Layne knew that I was also involved, what would we do?"Efrain chuckled and said, "You want to have this person, but don't want to give anything in return. You want it all, but what is yours?"Hallie reached out and picked up the small bag, anxiously looking at Efrain, who had no warmth in his eyes. "Will Layne take responsibility for me?"Efrain shrugged, "I can't guarantee that, but if things escalate, I think the Maddox family and the Keller family won't just stand by. You're pretty good at playing the victim, aren't you!"Hallie tightened her grip on the small bag. "Okay."After she left, she went back to her own home.She sat on the sofa, looking around the 60-square-meter small three-generation household, which held all her memories.At that time, her parents and sister all rushed back.Hallie's father, Ives Navarro, asked, "How did you come back?"Hallie's mother, Harper
Evelin paused for a moment, cleared her throat, and said, "What dream? I forgot?"Jenny pinched her nose and said, "Oh no, Layne, don't! Don't! Hahaha..."Evelin's face turned red all of a sudden, "I didn't!"Jenny burst into laughter and said, "Why are you blushing and raising your voice? It's clearly a sign of guilt, you know?"Evelin hummed lightly, "So what if it was? Wasn't I allowed to have some eye candy?"Jenny nodded heavily, "Allow, allow, I wish your dreams come true soon."Evelin chuckled, "This is about right!"The two sat down to have breakfast, and Jenny said, "By the way, Efrain texted me last night, asking how you were doing. Ha, isn't he just trying to fish for information? After I saw his true ugly face, I started to deceive and flatter him. I really played the fool! He asked me to invite you to the masquerade ball, and I suspect he has ulterior motives. Evelin, you better be careful!"Evelin nodded, "I knew.
After Evelin entered, she saw Jenny standing at the entrance with her hands on her hips."Jenny!"Her voice was filled with joy.Jenny reached out to stop her from pouncing, "The lipstick is smudged, was it chewed by a dog?"Evelin smiled, pursed her lips, and said, "I kissed Layne!"Jenny rolled her eyes and said, "I just hooked my little finger, and you eagerly came over!"Evelin's eyes were red and her mouth was swollen. She giggled and said, "Jenny, Layne and I had a misunderstanding. It was me who started the trouble in the first place. Let me tell you about it."Jenny hummed, "I don't want to hear about you two's nonsense, I don't want to hear it! Before, I even set you up with Efrain, and in the blink of an eye, you made up with Layne, leaving me to be the only clown! I'm angry!"Evelin hugged her arms and said, "Angry, angry, angry makes you fat! Let's not be angry, I will tell my dear best friend about my difficult emo
Evelin felt shocked and regretful about Layne's departure. She had considered many possibilities, but never imagined that Layne's departure would be for this reason.It was all because she couldn't keep her mouth shut, talking nonsense. Layne would only get angry when he heard these words, he definitely didn't hear what she said afterwards.If it were her, and she heard Layne say this, she would also be sad and leave.With so many people around, she didn't have the courage to push the door open and question. Instead, she chose to leave silently, enduring the pain.She felt a dense and intense pain in her chest, and it turned out that it was all her fault. It was her who caused the misunderstanding between the two people.She cried out in sadness, leaving Jenny at a loss for what to do. "Evelin, what's wrong with you? Please don't scare me! Stop crying for now and tell me what happened."Evelin covered her face with both hands, and her crying
Evelin's hand was held in mid-air as she gazed at Layne, who she hadn't seen in a long time, and for a moment, she was stunned.The two of them locked eyes, and Evelin felt all the grievances, pain, and unwillingness welling up in her heart.Another figure appeared behind Layne, and that person was Hallie.Evelin curled her fingers, quickly let go, and turned around to leave.Jenny was shocked by Evelin's behavior. "Evelin, what's wrong with you?"Efrain's gaze also grew cold, and he turned around to follow Evelin's footsteps.Jenny slowly looked behind her, and Layne was standing just one meter away from her. She was suddenly startled."You, you, you, weren't you in Aldmill? How come you're back?"Layne did not answer her question, but simply walked along with her.By the time Jenny realized, the three people in front had already gone far away.She hurriedly ran over, tired with her hands on her waist, saying, "W
Efrain was wearing a snow-white shirt and light blue jeans, and he smiled, radiating sunshine and warmth.He sat across from Evelin and greeted both of them, "I think Jenny's words were quite right. It's impossible to completely erase someone from your heart, but you can let someone else replace them as your only one. I don't mind being someone else's substitute. Evelin, one cannot always dwell in the past."He took out a small mirror from his pocket and handed it to her. "Evelin, take a look at how worn out you are now. Since the first time I saw you until now, your condition has been getting worse. A good relationship nourishes a person, while a failed relationship destroys them. Evelin, give me a chance, and give yourself a chance to try. I will help you forget your troubles and stay away from pain. Evelin, will you?"Evelin trembled her eyelashes and said, "Forget worries? Stay away from pain? Is it really possible?"Efrain nodded solemnly, "Yes."
Hallie's heart skipped a beat, would Layne not know about those things?Impossible, she wouldn't, she kept herself calm and made herself appear less anxious.She caught up with him and asked, "Layne, what happened?"Layne hesitated for a moment, just about to question her about what was on her mind, when her phone started vibrating.When Zoey called, Hallie ignored her and walked forward to answer the phone."Mom."Zoey got straight to the point and asked, "Were you and Hallie dating?""No.""Why did you hug then?"Layne pursed his lips and said, "This was a misunderstanding. Just now, Edwin sent me a video, and that's when I found out that Evelin came to see me and misunderstood me."Zoey harshly reprimanded, "Layne, you are not someone who lacks discretion. What happened that made you suddenly leave? Tell me the truth, I need to know the truth."Layne closed his eyes tightly and finally spoke out Evelin's
Toby pressed his forehead and said, "I indeed did not notice this issue, it was my mistake. Efrain must have come back for revenge, there is no doubt about it."He felt very regretful, "I almost put Evelin in danger."Russell said, "Evelin was just his way into our circle, his real targets were me and Zoey. If he succeeded in pursuing Evelin, Layne would be the first one to suffer. This move was played very deep."Zoey nodded, "That's true. I think there were issues between Layne and Evelin. Their relationship was so good, how could problems suddenly arise? There must have been a misunderstanding."She looked at Leanna, "Leanna, you really didn't know the reason behind this?"Leanna furrowed her brows, hesitating to speak.Zoey sighed, "Just by looking at your expression, I knew you must be hiding something. Now that it's just the four of us, let's be honest. I want to hear the truth from you."Leanna was stared at by three people for
Evelin's mood was always low, and she was immersed in pain.Jenny was very worried about her situation and wanted to talk to her parents, but Evelin wouldn't let her.She was very anxious in her heart, thinking about finding more people to accompany her, have a meal together and have some fun. So she invited several classmates with whom she had a good relationship to have a meal and then go karaoke after dinner.Evelin had little involvement, she just listened to everyone chatting and singing.Jenny felt a headache, and she thought it was better than letting Evelin stay at home.A classmate asked, "Evelin, I heard that you had a childhood sweetheart, but I haven't seen him around during this time you've been going to school. Are you not together anymore?"Jenny's eyes widened, "You don't talk nonsense! That's not true!"She kept giving the other person signals with her eyes, but the other person seemed to not notice at all, very curio
