As soon as Archer finished speaking, I opened the door. He looked at Bernard’s smug smile after being defeated and had not yet dispersed.
Meeting Archer’s slightly surprised eyes, I smiled mischievously.”
“Come in “%
I turned around and walked to the sofa and sat down. Bernard didn’t even see my face.”
“Didn’t you give me the film a long time ago? What photos are you bringing this time?”
Archer poured me a cup of tea attentively, took out a booklet from his backpack and handed it to me along with the USB drive.
“I made an album for you and by the way, I cut an MV for you with the materials of Napolis. It’s very beautiful, take a look, I think you will like it “%
I looked at him when I heard it and he lowered his eyelashes like a conditioned reflex, avoiding my playful gaze.”
“I came to you this time for a serious matter.“W
Archer coughed lightly.
“Your work in Nirvana Studio was shortlisted for the Excellence Award. Hanley will also participate in this event.“}
Hearing this familiar name, I looked up and looked at Archer and both of us understood tacitly.”
“In addition..” Archer pursed his lips, hesitating to speak and his ears turned red again.
I raised my eyebrows. When I first met him, I thought he was so romantic that he would walk through thousands of flowers without getting a single leaf on him. But I didn’t expect that he would be so shy. Wasn’t he too innocent?
“What?”
Archer hesitated for a while and tentatively pulled my sleeve. “Tomorrow is, it’s my birthday. Can I ask you to have dinner with me?“> Seeing that I didn’t respond for a while, Archer quickly added, “I’m not asking you for a birthday present. You don’t have to prepare anything, just come over.”
I burst out laughing. Boys of this age were really fun. Looking at Archer, who was looking forward to it with cautious expectations in his eyes, I suddenly thought of Bernard. In the past, I carefully planned Bernard’s birthday every year. But he was either working overtime or absent–minded and rushed through it. He didn’t say a word to me during the whole meal.“]
No matter how charming the atmosphere I created was, it was frozen by his coldness.
On the other hand, Archer…
The softness in my heart was suddenly touched and I nodded gently.”
“Okay.”
The next evening, I went to the appointment as scheduled.”
The swaying candlelight made the roses on the table more beautiful, but suddenly someone rushed in and broke the rapidly warming atmosphere.%
“It’s bad, Madam! Mr. Chavez was drunk at a social gathering and passed out at home. He was not found until three days later and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. He called your name when he was unconscious… Mr. Chavez urgently needs surgery and only you can sign for him!”
Bernard’s assistant ran out of breath, his eyes full of anxiety and pleading.”
I said in a flat tone, “You found the wrong person. I am no longer a madam. I have sent the divorce agreement to your company. Why, you and Bernard didn’t receive it?”
The assistant was so anxious.
“Madam, this is not the time to be angry. The divorce agreement was torn up by Mr. Chavez the first time he saw it, so it doesn’t count. A bystander can see clearly. From all his performance, Mr. Chavez has you in his heart, but he is not good at expressing it.“}}
The assistant held up a mobile phone and the phone was on a video call with Bernard.M
On the other end of the phone, Bernard was lying in the ambulance with his eyes closed, muttering my name.
“Mr. Chavez was caught in the rain outside your door all night and he already had old injuries. He was caught in the rain and drank alcohol and the wound was infected and he had a high fever of 40 degrees! The doctor said that if he didn’t have surgery, his right hand would be amputated! You really have the heart to-“2
“I have the heart to do it,” I interrupted lightly.
