After sitting down, he drank a few mouthfuls of fish soup and then frowned. Compared with the fresh noodles soup, the taste of the fish soup was obviously much stronger.
Suddenly, Beau Wright lost his appetite. He put the bowl on the table, got up, and walked upstairs.
Looking at his back, Lainey Brown asked in surprise, "Beau, aren't you having dinner?"
"I still have some documents to deal with..." He did not stand still, nor did he look back. His tall and straight figure disappeared from the stairwell.
Mary Wright noticed that his gaze had never stopped on her from beginning to end. Even though it had only been a moment, it had never happened.
The indescribable disappointment and bitterness gathered in her heart. She lost her appetite. After drinking half a bowl of porridge, she found an excuse and went upstairs.
Lainey Brown watched quietly with a faint smile on her delicate and elegant face.
Of course, she didn't like Harriet Smith. The woman who used the baby to seduce a man was never a good woman.
But compared with Mary Wright, she was still more biased towards Harriet Smith.
She hated Mary Wright. It could be described as disgust!
Mary Wright was self-righteous, vengeful, and ungrateful...
Although she was adopted by Cromwell Wright, Lainey Brown had also done a lot of things for her over the years!
However, she was really shameless to seduce Beau!
She had watched Mary and Beau grow up. When it came to Mary, she was more like her own daughter. Which woman could stand her daughter falling in love with her son?
"Can Mary Wright stand up to her, Lainey Brown?"
Just at the dining table, Beau just asked where Harriet Smith was and didn't look at her. This change was very good.
There was a stack of documents brought back from the company. Beau Wright leaned against the sofa and signed on the documents.
It was a large room, but only his breathing could be heard. Other than that, there was the rustling sound of signing.
After a while, he frowned slightly and looked up at the room. It seemed that something was missing.
In the past, he had never felt that the room was so empty.
Occasionally, Harriet Smith would make some sounds, like drinking water, turning the pages, or walking.
Those messy sounds made him extremely comfortable...
His slender fingers landed impatiently between his eyebrows. He rubbed them, closed the documents with his big hand, pushed them away, and went to the bathroom.
He had been in a bad state tonight and always felt a little annoyed...
In another room.
The next day.
Harriet Smith got up very early and woke up at seven o'clock. Then she wanted to go for a walk in the park near the community.
But before she walked out of the room, Vera Brion chased after her. "I'll go with you."
"Do you know where I am going?" Harriet Smith put on her hat and looked at her.
"Of course, I know. Isn't it just a park downstairs? I'll go too. I'm pregnant now. I want the baby to breathe more fresh air."
“I am Peter Johns, your high school classmate who was always sitting at your back table. Do you remember?" He looked at her eagerly.
The name of Peter Johns was very special. When he said this, Harriet Smith thought of it and smiled. "It's you. I remember that you used to blush."
Hearing this, Peter Johns smiled and touched his hair awkwardly. "What do you do?"
"A teacher, and you?"
"A police."
Harriet Smith sneered and laughed, "You really deserve your name. Peter Johns, your parents are really farsighted to hope you protect your country."
Peter Johns smiled shyly and seemed to have thought of something. He said, "By the way, Harriet, do you have time the night after tomorrow?"
Instantly, he changed the address from Harriet Smith to Harriet, which seemed a little more intimate and no longer so rusty.
She did not notice the details and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"The day after tomorrow, our high school classmates will have a gathering. Only our students will be here. Come with us."
"I still don't want to go. I haven't seen them for a long time. It's very embarrassing to go like this." She smiled and refused.
The main reason was that they hadn't contacted each other in high school for several years, and their relationship had become very strange. If she went there, it would have awkward pauses...
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Camilla Kents looks for you every year at the party, and Juliana Scott. Besides, they are all classmates of Class One. It's been so many years since we last met. Don't you miss them at all?"
Anyway, Harriet Smith had nothing to do that day. Now that he had said so, it was not convenient for her to refuse. "Okay, I'll go."
Peter Johns looked pleasant. "Well, we are in the Charmed Bar. It's eight o'clock in the evening, or I'll come to pick you up."
