The familiar voice comes near. Looking at the high-spirited young man, Miya has a sense of a decade
had passed.
Lance is still clean and fresh, smiling and looking at everyone.
But because of his arrival, all of them are stiff.
“Brother, you are here.” Lisa says with a stiff voice.
Lance has been actually there on Lisa’s annual birthday. But everything has changed since he was with
his current wife.
She can’t tell what the difference on her brother is, but she just feels that her brother has become
gloomy and makes her unconsciously afraid.
Lance nods to greet others. He glances over the crowd and finally looks at Miya.
“Miya, you are here too.”
His voice is light, soft, and suddenly hits Miya’s heart.
Alex darkens his eyes, too. And now he can be sure that Adam had let go of his feelings of Miya
completely, but Lance has not. Lance seems to be waiting for an opportunity to take Miya away from
him.
“Yes.” Miya nods blankly. The last time she saw him was when she was married.
Of course she will not forget that Alex tortured her because he was jealous of Lance. It is just, you
know, she can not hate anyone.
Seeing Miya’s reaction is mechanical, Lance shows a little sadness in his eyes.
“What are you doing? My birthday can’t be boring. Come on, let’s have a barbecue.” Lisa yells and
goes to the grill.
Miya hears the word and comes to her mind. Then she follows Lisa immediately.
Alex and Lance look at each other, and then he walks over to Miya.
“Teach me how to barbecue, honey. And next time I will barbecue for you and our children.” Alex
pretends to be so sticky, and calls Miya “honey” so smoothly.
Miya roughly knows why Alex is acting like this. If in this way Lance would give up on her, it would be
better.
Lance just feels it’s so harsh and clenches his fists. Since he has remembered everything, he had
sworn that he would never give in this time.
“Honey, eat a shrimp.” Alex shells the shrimp and put it to Miya’s mouth.
Miya is surprised and stares at the shrimp, wondering whether if she could eat it.
At this time, Lance also hands Miya a kebab, “Miya, eat a kebab.”
“Honey, let’s eat shrimp.” Alex hates Lance’s behavior. Miya is his wife and it’s none of Lance’s
business.
“Miya is allergic to everything with a shell. Do not you even know that?” Lance sneers, “I still remember
at that time we took her to a party in high school, she was hospitalized and almost missed the college
entrance exam because of a shrimp. At that time we did not know why, and afterwards, I knew the
reason.”
“Because, that shrimp was handed over by Senior, what if he hates me if I refuse?” Miya, who was
young at the time, said the reason naturally.
Lisa was with her and asked, “Is my brother really that good?”
“Of course, he is so handsome.”
Their conversation completely reached to Lance’s ears, and he began to notice the little girl behind
him.
Miya, of course, knew what she had said before, and seeing Lance is about to go on, she bites the
shrimp in Alex’s hand.
“Senior, you should have known why I ate it at that time. Now, my reason has not changed much, just
the subject has changed.”
Her movement shocks Lance and Alex. Alex kisses Miya’s red lip immediately and sucks the shrimp
into his mouth.
The delicate shrimp combining with her taste is very delicious.
Alex says in Miya’s ear, “I’m sorry. I do not care enough about you, but next time, you must tell me in
advance. Even if I make a mistake, do not make fun of your body, I will be sad about it.”
No wonder he has never seen Miya eat shrimps before. So that is the reason. Alex blames himself on
the bottom of his heart. If it was not that Lance said it in time, he would have made a big mistake.
Hearing Alex’s words, Miya nods shyly.
Lance looks at the scene and shakes the kebab in his hand. But he still hands it to Miya and says, “You
used to love to eat mutton kebabs. I remember once you ordered 30 mutton kebabs at the stand at
midnight. I laughed at you that you couldn’t eat them all, but you were angry, and finally I ate half of
them.”
Lance does not know why he keeps reminding the past. He feels embarrassed. He looks fervently at
Miya and his eyes are full of hope. He thinks Miya would remember the days when she loved him. The
18-year-old Miya was so beautiful behind him.
Before Alex can do anything, Adam snatches Lance’s kebab and says, “Don’t judge others, it seems
you don’t know much about Miya, either.”
Lance is unhappy with Adam’s behaviors and says, “How is that possible? That is what Miya likes
best.”
Adam picks up the capsicum on top of the kebab with a toothpick. “Miya can’t eat spicy food now,” says
Adam.
“How is that possible?” Lance can’t believe it. He has kept saying that he knows Miya best.
“Why is that impossible?” Andre jumps out of nowhere and walks behind Miya. He had a good
impression of Lance before.
Lance and Alex, after all, were good friends. And he would smile at him and buy him toys, so for a
while Andre felt like his daddy was not a patch on half of Lance’s kindness.
But now, Lance is going to take his mommy! He is living a happy life with his parents, how can he let
Lance to ruin it?
“My mommy may have liked you before, but you should think how old she was. She was under age at
that time and how could you take her words seriously? Anyway, I know that my mommy loves my dad
only.”
At a young age, he speaks with great authority, with a bright and valiant look of Alex. Alex looks at little
Andre with a smile and thinks he must treat Andre well in the future.
Lance darkens his face and says, “Andre, you know what? You are a minor now. And what you say is
less effective than what a teenage girl says.”
Andre is stunned and doesn’t know what to say.
Andre did not think of this point before, but he still holds his head up and says to Lance, “No matter
how, my mommy loves my daddy, and me, and Ben and Joey. Whatever you do is not going to work.”
“Yes.” Ben and Joey pop out and respond.
Lance says to himself that take no offence at child’s babble. Children’s words are not credible. He is
about to say something to them.
But someone speaks before him.
“The kids are right. What I said when I was young was not believable. And now I have been in love with
someone else.”
