Chapter 19: Lydia Toland, You've Got a lot Recently
In the evening, Katherine wanted to drive me back to the city. I shook my head,
and said I wanted to walk. After all, it was not far from the bus station.
I can't tell you the feeling in my heart, but I thought that god's plan was too
bloody! My ex-boyfriend is my bed partner’s brother-in-law!
Surely enough, only those who were ambitious can climb higher. Geoffrey's
assets, if Geoffrey relied on his own efforts, his assets were not likely to have one
tenth of the Gilbert family in one hundred years. But If he could marry Simona
Gilbert, the situation is totally different.
I was so blind that I didn't realize he was thinking about it...
In any case, what happened tonight really let me vitality lose. If it were not for
these days that I was stimulated by Wayne Gilbert, which made me a little
stronger, maybe I could make a fool of myself on the Gilbert family!
After walking a distance, I suddenly found that I had forgotten my bag in the
Gilbert house, because my phone keys and wallet were in it, I could only turn and
go back...
On the halfway, I found that there was someone hurried toward this way under
the dim lights.
My step was startled.
Geoffrey took my bag, panting trotted to my side, handed it to me.
“Just now someone called your telephone and asked where you was.I answered,
he was a male, Lydia, are you making boyfriend?" He looked at me, and his
voice was soft as ever.
I suddenly want to laugh, after two years, his serious but hypocritical look was
the same with the past, which made me sick.
Until this moment, I really believed that from the day I knew him I did not see
through he at all.
“Geoffrey, if you can find your fiancee, why can't I have a boyfriend?"
I unlocked the phone, opening my recent contacts in my address book, and
found that the caller ID had four eights on end.
I frown, Geoffrey actually answered the phone of Wayne Gilbert.
“Lydia, it’s the expediency that I marry Simona Gilbert . can you believe me?"
“Geoffrey, we are not children any more. For your bright future, I also have my
comfortable life. You are out of my league now. So please treat me as a stranger
when we meet again! What’s more, since you have made the decision to climb
the branch, please be clever a bit, and don't bother with me , your former
girlfriend.”
After saying this, I turned and wanted to leave.
Geoffrey was clearly shocked by what I said, but he pulled me: “Lydia, you were
not like this before... "
I scoffed, patting off his hand as he tugged at my clothes: “Geoffrey, what was I
like before? The one who was cheated by you was already dead. Yes, you said
you have to do that, so where do you want to put me? Be your mistress, waiting
for your divorce? Or someone who a lifetime can not see light. Geoffrey, I was
really blind...... "
My words were brusque, and then I took my bag to leave.
From today Geoffrey completely became my past garbage.
After walking for more than 20 minutes, I finally caught the last bus to downtown.
Back home, it has been more than nine o 'clock, I went upstairs. While I was
walking, I took my mobile phone from the bag , wondering whether I called
Wayne Gilbert back or not.
But as I slid into the newsletter, I pulled back my finger.
As I hesitated, the phone screen suddenly lit up, its four eight-ending caller ID,
which was stimulating my tense nerves.
"Hello!" I licked my dry lips.
Inside the phone, Wayne Gilbert did not speak. when I nervously said hello
again, he finally opened his mouth slowly.
"Where are you?"
He asked where I was. It was so late, would he want to continue to date with me?
"I'm going upstairs. I'm almost home. What can I do for you?"
Just as I finished speaking, the other end of the phone became a doodle busy
tone.
"What the fuck? Why did he hang me after asking where I am."
Putting the phone back, I took out the key from my bag and was about to open
the door when I saw a man standing in the dark corridor.
The man was tall and burly on the moonlight at a glance. His figure was pulled
very long.
My heart clenched to my throat. The house’s security was a little chaotic around.
I was a weak woman, if I really encountered someone to rob money or
something......
I squinted, staring at the man in the dark, hands were busy to open the door.
"Lydia Toland, you've got a lot recently."
I was so scared that my hands shook and turned to look at the man in the
darkness.
This voice was Wayne Gilbert!
