“So I heard Kendall say a while ago that you were going to make a comeback and return to the design industry.“%
Archer’s ears turned red.
“I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep all night. I watched all your previous interview videos all night and found that when you talked about your design concept…“%
He stretched out his hand and touched my eyes.”
“I would unconsciously poke my dimples with my fingers.“%
My hand holding the knife and fork trembled.%
Even Bernard, who had slept with me for twenty years, had never noticed this little habit, but at this moment, this man who was ten years younger than me accurately pointed it out./
I was a little flustered when I realized Archer’s feelings for me.%
After all, I had just ended a failed marriage of twenty years and I didn’t dare to easily get involved in a relationship again.
When we walked out of the restaurant together, I noticed that Archer’s eyes were already stained with drunkenness and he was completely different from the cold look when I first met Napolis.%
I couldn’t help but laugh and looked up at him.%
“You’re drunk.“%
Unexpectedly, Archer suddenly came close, stretched out his hand to help me adjust my collar and enveloped me with the scent of agarwood, his breath brushing across the ends of my newly dyed chestnut hair
really like you, Hadley.“%
I didn’t know how I got back home.%
Ever since Archer said that, my face had been burning and it had been burning until now.%
How could he… how could he like me?%
“Hadley, open the door!“%
The frantic knocking on the door came, pulling me back from my complicated thoughts.%
“I kicked Hanley out of the company and I’m completely done with her. Can we talk?“%
I poured a glass of water, stood in front of the surveillance screen and drank slowly, quietly watching Bernard crying and soaking wet in the rain.”
The door had been closed, with no intention of opening at all.
Bernard’s crying voice continued to float in.%
“I have let you down for so many years, Hadley, please give me another chance… Don’t you want to hold a wedding?“%
“I promise you, whether it is one, two or ten, I can afford it! As long as you like it… I will make up for what I owed you in the past for the rest of my life, please give me this chance to atone for my sins.“%
“Hadley, a day of marriage is a hundred days of grace, we have been married for twenty years, I don’t believe you have no feelings for me. I have dealt with Hanley, the stumbling block between our relationship. We have talked it out.”
“She said that she doesn’t love me at all. She has been teasing me to get close to me all these years just to get revenge on you. It’s my fault. For so many years, I have never considered your feelings and treated you as a servant.“%
“If you are really tired of this place, I can take you to live in another place, to a place where there are only the two of us, without my son or my father, just the two of us and don’t let others disturb us…“%
Bernard confessed endlessly.%
“Hey, make way, you are blocking the way.“%
Another voice came.%
I leaned against the door frame and looked up.%
Archer was holding a black umbrella, with a teasing smile on his lips.%
Under the umbrella, his sharp jawline was just outlined.
Bernard stood up in a panic and glared at Archer.%
“It’s so late, why are you still looking for my wife!“%
Archer smiled carelessly.
“Mr. Chavez, don’t recognize your wife randomly. Didn’t you and Hadley divorce a long time ago? This man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, so why don’t you allow me to pursue her? Mr. Chavez, you are old. Compared to you, I think I have more advantages in front of Hadley.”
Archer pushed away the angry Bernard and raised his hand to press the doorbell.
“Open the door, Hadley. I’ll give you the wedding photos.”%
