Sally came to her senses.\"Nothing.\" She forced a smile.Sage was confused.\"Come in.\"He took off his coat and threw it on the sofa.\"Have a seat.\"Sally crossed her legs and sat in a corner of the sofa.Sage went into the kitchen.The kitchen in his house was open. Sally clearly saw him open the door of the fridge\'s refrigerator and move inside for a while.When he came back, he was holding a plastic bag with ice cubes in it.\"Apply it on your face.\" He lifted the plastic bag and pressed the ice cubes at the bottom against Sally\'s swollen face.The sudden coldness made Sally shiver and her neck shrank back subconsciously.But soon, she took the plastic bag and touched her face from time to time.Sage sat down next to her and stared at her.\"How?\" He asked knowingly.Sally lowered her eyes. \"I met a tough client.\" After saying that, she chuckled, \"I should have listened to you. I should have rested a few more days before going back to work.\"Sage presse
\"It\'s so beautiful. I don\'t want to disturb you.\" The smile on Xian\'s face deepened and the meaning in his words deepened.Sage looked at him coldly, \"what are you doing here?\" His tone was very unfriendly.As if he didn\'t feel anything, Xian took off his shoes and stepped in only wearing socks.\"Of course I\'m here for dinner.\" He sat down at the table and said as if he was right.\"Didn\'t Anna cook for you?\" Sage squinted.\"Anna just cooked two dishes. How can compare to your prawns and crabs?\" Holding his chin with one hand, Xian smiled innocently. \"But I came here mainly to see the beautiful girlfriend of Mr. Wilson that Anna mentioned -\"He stressed the word \"girlfriend\" and prolonged the ending.The banter in his eyes made Sally blush.\"Anna, you misunderstood me.\" She said.\"It\'s not a misunderstanding, is it? Aren\'t you Mr. Wilson\'s girlfriend?\" Xian held a sincere face.When Sally was about to retort, he added, \"your contract is not a waste.
Sally swallowed all the meat in her mouth with difficulty and asked, \"what are you going to do?\"\"I went there for another domestic violence case, but I also asked about the progress of Josh by the way. Wei told me that the people of the Garcia family changed their attitude this morning. They said that Josh didn\'t want to jump off the building because he couldn\'t be cured and they were worried that his family would spend too much money on him. The case was closed, but I felt something was wrong. Even if it was because of this reason that Josh committed suicide, the people of the Josh family should have thought of it I will put it on you so that I can take the opportunity to ask you for more money. They let you go so easily... There must be some reason. Anyway, I have a bad feeling. \" Xian curled his lips.Sally remained silent.One million was a great help, but he didn\'t know how long it would last.But now her biggest trouble was not the member of the Garcia family, but her
As soon as someone passed by, she would freeze her body and highly concentrate. She couldn\'t completely relax until the person went far away.This morning, she was as tired as when she was off duty.Near noon, Sally saved the half done report and closed it. When she was about to go downstairs for lunch, she heard footsteps again.And this time, he stopped in front of her door.Sally held her breath subconsciously.She carefully recognized that there seemed to be other sounds in the deafening heartbeat——Bang, bang, bang.The man knocked on the door three times.Sally swallowed hard and squeezed out two words from her throat, \"who is it?\"\"I...\" It was a young man\'s voice, which sounded a little familiar.Sally was searching in her memory when he said, \"Max.\"Max?\"Are you alone?\" She asked warily.Her question confused Max. \"I\'m alone. Who else do you want to come with me?\"The alarm went off and Sally hurried to open the door.\"Why are you here?\" She aske
He even called her several times in the afternoon of No. 23 to remind her not to forget the time.**On October 23rd.Sally put on the dress again. It took her half a year to buy it.The wine stains on her chest were finally light after she washed them in various ways.There were few people in the banquet hall of the imperial court hotel. Besides, it was not a holiday. There were only two floors in the hall.Sally inquired in the lobby of the first floor and found the destination easily.Outside the banquet hall, there were balloons of various colors and shapes on the wall. The most conspicuous place was \"HappyBirthday\" written in English.——It was not a big deal.The door of the banquet hall was open and people were walking inside. Sally could hear them exclaim every time she entered.Driven by curiosity, she quickened her pace.However, as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by a waiter with a register in his arms.\"May I know your name?\"Max didn\'t send t
It was Amelie!How could she forget!October 23rd was Amelie\'s birthday!Sally gripped her handbag so hard that her whole hand was shaking.Before leaving the Stone family, every year, she would hide in her room alone and cover her head with a quilt, not looking at the father and son outside, not listening to their laughter.Because those scenes always reminded her that she was unwelcome, redundant and damn in this house.After a long time of memory recovery, boundless negative emotions surged up and tightly wrapped her, making her almost out of breath.The heating in the banquet hall was on very well. Her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, but she was so cold that she was shivering.\"Ahem.\" Max took the microphone from the waiter and cleared his throat.The audience fell silent immediately.The change in the atmosphere brought Sally back to her senses. She pushed the chair back and stood up with her back bent. She wanted to sneak away when Amelie found out.
But obviously, Amelie liked Max so much that she could kiss him in public regardless of her strict family education.Sally was a little envious.She envied that the person she liked could be recognized by her family.She suddenly felt a little sad.Sure enough, she was different from Amelie.Since they were born, they were destined to take two different paths.The climax lasted for a long time.Max blushed and said to Amelie, \"make a wish.\"\"Okay.\" Amelie put her palms together, closed her eyes and made a pious wish. Max looked at her without blinking, as if there was only her in his eyes.Half a minute later, Amelie opened her eyes and blew out the candles on the cake.The hall became bright again.Sally closed her eyes to get used to the dazzling light.Sage raised her hand to cover the light for her.Through his fingers, Sally saw the two people on the stage holding the cake knife together and cutting the beautiful cake to the bottom.Max smiled happily.However,
They were five years older than each other. They had never been to the same school. They didn\'t live on the same floor and even didn\'t eat together.It could be said that they didn\'t care about each other and didn\'t interfere with each other.However——Usually, when Lola punished Sally, she always mentioned \"learn from your sister\", so that Sally didn\'t like Amelie since childhood. When she was in grade two, she even had a grudge against her.She often thought that if it weren\'t for Amelie, her parents would have loved her.As she grew older and mentally mature, she gradually realized that even without Amelie, Lola and Aiden would not treat her as their own daughter.Because she was an illegitimate daughter with an unknown biological father, which was the proof of the dark history of Lola.She didn\'t hate Amelie anymore. But she couldn\'t feel any joy when they met again after a long separation.——After all, there was still a thorn in her heart.Since her identity was
