Chapter 937
The promise of marriage was for life. How could it not be kept?
In the past, if anyone told him that he would love a woman so dearly, he would definitely sneer with disdain. However, ever since he knew that she was involved in an accident, his only wish was for her to live. As long as she was alive, nothing else mattered! Trevor didn't know why he had such a thought, but at that moment, he felt really contented. He knew that he wasn't alone. He still had a companion by his side. Even if she was to be lying down like that forever, as long as she would still be with him when he returned home, he would still feel relieved in his heart.
It was a very odd feeling.
He couldn't accurately express his feelings then with words. He wasn't sure if he could stick with her for a lifetime, but at that moment, he was very sure that he couldn't live without her. He had never had a moment just like that moment, which there were no doubts in his thoughts at all!
In a daze, Victoria's consciousness was not fully regained, and she was not even sure if she was dreaming. However, instinctively, she grabbed his hand and smiled beautifully.
Then, she closed her eyes very quietly and at ease. Vaguely, she felt a loving kiss landed on her forehead and lips...
She had a dream as she fell into a deep sleep. It was a hazy yet beautiful dream.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another day had passed.
In front of the computer, she summed up the experimental data into a spreadsheet and made a simple calculation through sorting and elimination. After marking the colors, Lauren made a calculation from the beginning again. "Why is there still a slight difference?"
Comparing the measurement in the formula to the recipe, she once again calculated and adjusted the proportion, and then re- made a set of raw materials, categorized them, and put labels on each of them.
After finishing the work at hand and looking at the time, she got up and stretched her body, "It's four o'clock, it's time to wrap up!"
After scanning her surroundings, she tidied the room up, turned off the power source, and checked again. Then, she picked up her bag and
walked out.
After having a simple meal in a restaurant, she was about to get a taxi. When she looked up, she saw Willy walking out of the parking lot with a woman dressed in fashionable clothes. They seemed to be discussing something, and then they entered a grand hotel together. Her heart suddenly throbbed, and her hand inexplicably stopped in mid-air. A few seconds later, she came back to her senses and called for a taxi.
"Phoenix Street, Phoenix Residences, Block A..."
As soon as she got in the car, Willy, who had just walked through the entrance, was accidentally shone on by a reflective light and turned around. His movement obviously paused for a few seconds. Laurie? Was it her? Why would she be at that place?
At that moment, Terra turned around and tugged at his arm. "Hey, Willy, did you see another pretty girl again? You're dawdling! Aunt is still waiting for us! I'll tell her later about what you did later..."
Willy knocked her head, glared at her, and said, "What a mischievous girl! You're talking nonsense again! Let's go! Don't let aunt and the others wait!"
Pushing her through the door, he subconsciously took out his cell phone. After thinking for a moment, he put it back.
When Lauren arrived at Phoenix Residences, she raised her hand and was about to ring the doorbell. The door then opened, a boy ran out and grabbed her arm with a smile.
"Miss Heady, you're here! Come in quickly..."
Entering the door, Lauren was stunned for a moment as there were noises coming from the house. It was also filled with various fragrances of food. At that time, the table in the living room was full of food and wine, and there was a big cake on one side. "Antonio, this is... Haven't you guys eaten yet?"
She didn't know if there were guests at the house, so she subconsciously checked the time. It was nearly half an hour earlier than the time agreed at seven o'clock. Due to her personality, she didn't like to be late. She would always arrive half an hour early. On one hand, she could prepare herself first. On the other hand, she was giving some time for the students to adjust themselves too. It had been explained in the family teaching agreement.
Confused, she subconsciously said, "It's still early, why don't I go out for a walk first? Well, I also have something to..."
"Miss Heady, it's daddy's birthday today. We specially waited for you to come over and have dinner with us!"
"Huh?"
Before Lauren could react, she was pulled in by Antonio. At that time, a handsome middle-aged man in an apron came out.
He said, "Miss Heady is here! Don't laugh at me looking like this! Let's have dinner together today! I'll make another steamed fish and we can start feasting!"
"This..." She wanted to say that she had already eaten.
Besides, she felt that it was not appropriate, and she was very embarrassed. Unfortunately, before Lauren could say anything, Carney had already turned around and returned to the kitchen. At that time, Antonio came out holding a delicate box of dry fruits. "Miss Heady, this is a gift from my father's company. If you don't mind, you can take it! We don't really like to eat dried fruits..."
Looking at the packaging of the box, it was a box of nutrient-filled mixed dried fruits and nuts that could be taken daily. Before she got to refuse, Antonio had already stuffed two big packages into her arms. Lauren was dumbfounded.
When she came back to her senses, she had already sat down at the dining table. At that time, there were six main dishes and one soup on the table. There were also some soft drinks and red wine in front of her.
"Today is my 40th birthday. Antonio
said that I haven't celebrated my birthday in a long time. This year's birthday is also a very special one With Miss Heady's participation, I'd be very happy and have no regrets! Miss Heady, please don't mind it. Just accompany us to have a casual
meal!"
As soon as Carney finished speaking, Antonio picked up a drink and said. "Happy birthday, Dad!"
She didn't know that it would turn out like that, so she was not mentally prepared at all. She was very shy, so she could only follow the flow of events and pick up the drink.
"Mr. Bernard, happy birthday. Sorry, I didn't know. So I didn't prepare a gift..."
"You appearing here is already the best gift that I've received! It's all thanks to you that Antonio has become more sensible, and his grades have also improved. It's hard to come by someone who is so compatible with him. It should be me who should be grateful to you! Let's not delay any further, let's eat! Come, try my dishes. I haven't
cooked in a long time, try it while it's hot..."
While speaking, Carney took some fish for Lauren, and then he took a few pork ribs for his son.
At that time, Lauren noticed the combination of dishes of both meat and vegetables on the table. They were obviously very light. Even the vegetables on one side had almost no extra ingredients added, as if they were specially prepared for her. Antonio liked eating spicy food, but that day, aside from a spicy crab, not a single dish was spicy. Even the green peppers used for the stir-fried pork were clearly just mild peppers.
Seeing that the two of them did not say much and were eating happily, she could feel the feeling of home and also their happiness. Not wanting to destroy the good atmosphere and mood, she picked up the cutleries and ate a little of each dish.
